Tech Blog #70 | Nothing Phone (1) | It's Really Happening

in Steem Sri Lanka2 years ago
OnePlus was a Tech Enthusiast's brand for a few years. But we all know what happened to it recently.. It's just like a normal mainstream smartphone manufacturer now. I'm using a OnePlus 7T and I'm still on Android 11. All the things about OnePlus have deteriorated.

The founder of OnePlus left it when it Merged with OPPO. And after a few months, He came up with "Nothing". So, what's "Nothing"?? It's yet another new tech company. And now, it has come up with its First Smartphone, "Nothing Phone 1".

For me, it's a stunning smartphone to be the first of the company. If you remember their first tech product, the "Nothing Ear 1" earbud, it has a transparent theme in it. So does this smartphone. So the back panel is completely transparent here.

Talking about the front, there's something beautiful about it. It has symmetrical bezels all around the display. And a punch hole for the selfie camera. I can say from the front, it very much looks like an iPhone without a notch.

In the back, as I said, it's transparent. And also, it has an Unusual LED lighting system. I mean, it has more LEDs than any other smartphones. It has LEDs,

  • Around the Camera Unit
  • Around the Wireless Charging Coil
  • Near the Charging Point
  • A Record Indicator

    So there are so many of them. But you know what, they have things to do. All the LEDs can be lit up to function as a flashlight. Certain LEDs can be used to show a certain type of notification. For example, LEDs around the Wireless Charging Coil will indicate when it's charging wirelessly. And there are many more.

    They call this light system "Glyph Interface" and there's a separate app to control it. You can totally turn it off if you want. Or you can customize it as you want. For example, if you don't want the smartphone to show recording indicator when recording, you can turn it off.

    The real fun is in ringing tones. Nothing has included some beautiful ringing tones. I don't know about you, but I really like their Electronic Touch. And the craziest part is, that the LEDs will light up according to the rhythm of the tones. That's so cool. If you don't like it, you can always turn it off.

    So talking about the specifications, it's not going to be a Flagship. It's said to be powered by Snapdragon 7Series Processor, probably Snapdragon 778+ 5G. And it will probably come from a single Storage Variant, 8GB RAM 128GB ROM. I'd like if it was 256GB for sure.

    Talking about cameras, the back has a dual camera setup,

  • 50MP Main Camera
  • 12MP Ultrawide Camera

    Also, there will be an 8MP Selfie shooter. It will run "Nothing OS" on top of Android 12. It will have a 4500MAH battery which supports 45W fast charging and wireless charging.

    Most of the things here are unofficial. The smartphone will be officially released on 12th July and it's said it will be around 500$ but I think it will be priced more aggressively than that.. Let's see about that..

    good stuff bro! after using about 5 and half years, my one plus 5T's display was gone :/ . couldn't find anywhere to repair but one place and it costs about 32k at current rate.
