Now that the hype train for the Nothing Phone 1 has slowed down a bit, it's time to take a long, hard look behind the light show to find out whether this is indeed a game-changing smartphone in its segment, or whether all the hype was overblown. I've been using the Phone 1 as my primary phone for about a week and I think it's safe to say that most people should be happy with what it offers, especially those who appreciate attention to detail.

Nothing Phone 1 Summary

Some of the features of the Nothing Phone 1 that really stand out are its premium build quality, vibrant display, good primary camera, and clean Android experience. The glyph lights are a nice differentiator but you may or may not find them actually useful for daily use. The one thing that needs the most improvement right now is the secondary cameras, especially in low light. Video recording could also benefit from better stabilisation and features.

Phones such as the Xiaomi 11T Pro and iQoo 9 SE offer better specs and features for a simialr price. However, if you want a phone that looks completely unique while still having all the essential features, there's nothing quite like the Phone 1 right now.

Underwhelming

Jésus S (Mar 9, 2023) on Gadgets 360

Lots of colleagues, and some reviews on the Internet are glorifying this phone. Be aware that the Nothing Phone is way worse than a Samsung Phone; It is slow, fragile, the OS is completely buggy, design is bad and/or unintuitive. I only have this phone (brand new) since September 2022 and I'm already tired of having to use it. My last phone lasted 5 years. Don't. Buy. Nothing Phone. They suck real HARD.

After update of Android 13 I see you guys added a gaming dashboard for those who play games But it would be nice if add you add two more things on gaming dashboard 1) half screen mode for WhatsApp chat app So that gamers don't have to go offline for a quick chat they can just on their mini WhatsApp on the side of the screen 2) add online music player option on the gaming dashboard So that gamers can play music while playing games Please do add this things or you can just add an option to the dashboard to add apps like WhatsApp & Spotify Hope you'll work on this Thankyou!

Camera Performance is poor

Vineet Sharma (Aug 5, 2023) on Gadgets 360

I have recently purchased Nothing Phone 1 from Flipkart. I checked the front camera of the phone showing darkness in pics. So I have complaints for the same in Flipkart and Nothing Care but Flipkart customer care told me that phone will be replaced after 07 days they cancel my return.
