Nothing Phone (1) review

22 July 2022


Sort by:

I've had my Nothing Phone for about 2 weeks now. I ordered it and I'm here in the USA. Southern Utah on the T-Mobile network it gets 5G just fine and also works with my Verizon SIM card but but you only get 4G. Download and upload speeds are great. Crystal clear phone calls I highly recommend this phone. I'm on the Android 13 beta and this phone is buttery Smooth handles everyday tasks with ease and I've tried gaming on it. Ginshin Impact call of duty asphalt 9 all run fine on this phone. No overheating issues and for $299 can't beat this price. And battery life is out of this world. I get 8 to 10 hours on screen time with no problem. And when you have a company that concentrates on putting out the best quality product and put everything they have into giving you a great experience. I'm down with that!!!! So Carl Pai Keep up the great work and thanks for the Nothing Phone 1 Definitely looking forward to the Nothing Phone 2 and what that brings. And this is coming from a guy who has numerous brands of phones Google,Samsung,LG, Motorola,One Plus,Poco,Realme I'm definitely team Android. I even have a iPhone 14 Plus with all that being said, I highly recommend the Nothing Phone 1 Believe me for $299.00 you'll be hard pressed to find something that's better

    After using the phone for about 6 months, here are the pros and cons.
    I never used Glyph lights after a week use. Was interesting when I first purchased it.
    Glyph lights turned greenish.
    Rear camera sucks. Front camera better.
    Battery range doesn't looks like 4000 and above.
    Software experience was nice( face many glitches though)
    Stock Android setup.

            Honestly, this isn't even a glorified overpriced midranger, it's just an overpriced midranger. You can get a better phone with just 250€/$.

                  The Boring Phone not sold anywhere but resellers with specs that are farther and farther behind not coming to you anytime soon. However we do have ugly led lights on the back that you can cover up with a case.

                      Terrible, superficial, uninformative review.
                      Shame on you...
                      And yes, bring back the guys who knew English!

                        For countries that Google Pixels are not officially sold, this would be one of the alternatives, though the gimmicky backlights are not for everyone like me.

                                        I contacted Nothing sales dept. and they confirmed that this phone is ASHA (Android Streaming to Hearing Aids) compatible. This will probably be the phone to stream music directly to my hearing aids.
