Nothing Phone (1) 5G Dual SIM Smartphone - 8GB+128GB - Black

For their first product it is very impressive. But it still is a first product so its not going to be a smooth experience. Thankfully they have been quick with the updates so lots of fixes which is great. Please note it is only IP53, my mistake for not researching this, but I had assumed for its price it would've been at least IP67 like others in the market. So be very careful around water as its not even really splash proof. While Im not sure if its my device specifically the battery life has been rather short lately.

I am a fan of "pure android" and this phone delivers with Android 13 minus the usual buggy, poorly conceived bloatware and unnecessary UI changes. I UI is clean, and the haptic feedback feels precise. No USB cable or USB charger is provided but the Momax 30W charger combined with the Momax 100W USB Fast charge cable provide super fast charging.
Only problem is the lack of cases available. The phone has Gorilla glass front and back and I do drop phones - I had to buy a case separately online and offshore and it took a couple of weeks to arrive.

As an android phone its good and indistinguishable from generic ones like Nokia and Oppo. One issue that is plaguing me is heat when charging. The phone gets pretty hot within 5 minutes of charging and stays that way even when no longer plugged in for almost 30 minutes.

Save your money and buy the nothing phone. The os does get a few tiny glitches but they keep getting fixed with software updates. Phone feels great in your hands as well.

Pros:
Good size screen
Good for games
Light display on back is awesome
Cons:
Memory for the 128gb isnt much as the software takes up heaps
Hard to find cases for in shops

Other than that it's a great phone overall.

Loving this phone so far! it has all the latest stuff on it and absolutely 0 bloatware. If you're after something that isn't the mainstream brand, but also have specs that will last you over the next 3-4 years, then get this! Updates come through often too!

I seriously rate this phone. I've had it for about a month and have no complaints. The OS is super clean and simple to use, the camera is great, and the aluminium frame means it feels premium. The lights on the back are cool, but definitely more of a gimmick than a feature. I seriously rate this phone. I've had it for about a month and have no complaints.

I was looking for an upgrade from my OnePlus 7. I was leaning toward the Pixel 7 until I learned of the mobile network issues and I thought I was back at square 1. I spent a lot of time looking in to the Samsung S22, but I didn't want a super expensive/fancy/Samsung phone. Also, S22 is ugly. When I saw this phone, I was a little put of with all the YouTube reviews saying it's a very "mid range" phone, however, like one YouTuber said "A midrange phone in 2022 is still a great phone." I've had this phone for about a month now, and it's a huge upgrade from my OnePlus 7, it runs amazing, it didn't break the bank, the only negative things I have...view more I was looking for an upgrade from my OnePlus 7.

I got this phone during the Black Friday Sale which also helps. Overall, super happy with this phone! Be prepared to show off the glyphs! A lot of people have asked me about them.

Definitely not a flagship, about the equivalent of a mid range Samsung. Good battery life and hardy design. The back glass scratches very easily it's very scratched just from dust in the case (never been without a case)...
The glyphs are much more useful than I thought they'd be. Excited to see if nothing makes a flagship in the future. A final con would be availability of cases/ accessories but it's a niche phone so that's to be expected... Definitely not a flagship, about the equivalent of a mid range Samsung.

I bought the Nothing Phone 1 128+8gb last month and have had time with this phone. I absolutely love it , an incredible device with great battery life. It does vary from day to day. As a 16 year old, I get around 6-8 hours maybe more screen on time in a day on a single charge I bought the Nothing Phone 1 128+8gb last month and have had time with this phone.

I love it, great phone, great price (especially on sale), looks cool, it's quick and everything you need in a phone. Have been predominantly a Samsung user, now it's The Nothing Phone or nothing at all!
