Exterior review of 'Nothing Phone (1)', a smartphone with a skeleton on the back and a feeling of ownership



The first smartphone terminal ' Nothing Phone (1) ' from the smartphone maker 'Nothing', which was founded in 2021, will be released in Japan on Friday, August 19, 2022. This time, I had the opportunity to touch the terminal prior to its release, so I first took it out of the box and checked its characteristic appearance.

'Nothing Phone (1)' and its accessories. Since it is a lending machine for the press and has already been used in reviews, the box has already been opened.



A typical smartphone case is the same size and thickness as the device, but the Nothing Phone (1) case is flat and the device can be pulled out sideways.



This is 'Nothing Phone (1)', there are two colors, white and black, which is black. The screen is already pasted with the accessory '

Phone (1) glass film '.



There is one antenna line on the left and right on the top.



Power button on the right side.



SIM card slot, USB-C port, speaker on the bottom.



The SIM card slot is a dual SIM specification that allows you to set one nano SIM card on the front and back.



Volume button on the left side.



And the biggest feature is the back.



The same gorilla glass as the screen side is used so that the internal structure can be seen through.



It seems that the 'CE mark', which indicates that the EU's performance standards have been met, is incorporated as part of the sleek design. The model number and company name are written in a dot-like font.



It looks like this around the camera.



More than 900 LEDs are embedded in the back, and they glow white when there is an incoming call or notification.



Dimensions are 159.2mm x 75.8mm x 8.3mm. When you put the iPhone 12 Pro Max, Nothing Phone (1), and iPhone 12 side by side, it looks like this, and it's a fairly large class for a smartphone. However, the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is almost the same size, weighs 226g, while the Nothing Phone (1) weighs 193.5g, so it seems quite light when compared.



In addition, for those who are concerned about using it bare even though it is double-sided gorilla glass, '

Nothing Phone (1) case ' is available as an official accessory.



The case is made of hard polycarbonate material, and it fits so well that it is a little difficult to remove.



The edge of the surface is slightly higher than the screen, so the screen does not touch the desk even if the screen side is placed face down.



In addition, the bottom side is slightly thicker, and the protrusion of the camera lens just disappears. There is no rattling when placed on a desk with the screen side up, so it is convenient even when placing and playing games that require intense operation of the terminal.



By the way, the SIM pin comes with such a stylish one.



Next, I will start Nothing Phone (1) and touch on what kind of functions it has.
