Nothing, today, launched its first phone, the Phone (1). The phone stands out with its unique transparent design and “glyph interface” which is essentially a strip of customisable LEDs on the back. Hardware-wise, the Phone (1) is your typical mid-range offering with a 120Hz OLED screen, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G+ chip, dual cameras, and wireless charging. It’s priced very aggressively too at Rs 32,999 for a version with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
The Phone (1) look exciting, no doubt, but it will have to face some tough competition from peers specifically phones like the OnePlus Nord 2T (review) and Poco F4 (review), to name a few.
Here, we pit the three phones against each other and see how they stack up against each other:
Design: Poco F4 5G has a glass back and plastic frame. This is a flat-edged phone from get-go. The Poco F4 5G also has an official IP53 rating. It weighs quite a bit, at 195g, yet it is slim to hold at 7.7mm. For biometrics, it has a side-mounted fingerprint reader. OnePlus Nord 2T is made of plastic and weighs 190g. The Nord 2T is a bit slimmer at 8.2mm. The Phone (1) is easily the most striking of the lit with its transparent design and customisable LED lighting, or “glyph interface” on the rear. Nothing says, the whole transparent aesthetic of the Phone (1) is built using 400 components. The outer frame is made of 100% recycled aluminium while the rest is plastic— 50% of that is made with bio-based or post-consumer recycled materials. The Phone (1) weighs 193.5g and measures 8.3mm.
