It's also worth mentioning that the Nothing phone has 5G capabilities, like any smartphone worth your cash these days. The overall design bears an immediate resemblance to Apple's iPhone 12, namely due to the Phone 1's straight-sided metal frame, rounded corners, flat front and back, and dual rear camera placement; just scale it up, run it through an X-ray machine, and voila.

The Phone 1 reflects this; designed to start a conversation and delight users with its eccentricities. The portrait mode could be improved – the background is efficiently blurred, but I did notice the occasional jagged line around my subject. In the Geekbench 5 test, the Nothing Phone (1) achieved broadly similar single-core and multicore processing results as its rivals.The phone's punch-hole front-facing camera sits in the top-left corner of the screen, while an optical in-display fingerprint sensor sits low and close to the bottom edge of the panel. Throughout testing, the glass and metalwork didn't show any obvious signs of wear, save for the pre-fitted plastic screen protector and charging cable, both of which came scuffed out of the box. From Quick Settings on your phone, you can unlock doors, turn on AC and see miles left on your Tesla or even check the battery status of your AirPods. It's also true that most smartphone cameras do a great job in favourable lighting conditions, and that the very best cameras from Apple and Google take advantage of computational improvements to get the edge over their rivals.

That said, it’s worth mentioning that there’s currently an experimental feature in the phone’s settings that allows you to connect to your Tesla – you can monitor air-con levels and remotely open your boot, among other things – and an NFT wallet app is scheduled to be released via a future update. You can pop a compatible earbuds case (like the AirPods or Nothing's buds) on the back of the phone when it's facing down, and they'll recharge.The LEDs are diffused to form bars of light that run around the edge of elements like the rear camera module and wireless charging coil, and each segmented glyph can light up independently of the others. Nothing does deserve kudos for promising three years of OS updates and four years of security updates to Phone 1 owners; making the device that much more appealing in terms of both value for money and longevity. billion colours HDR Yes HDR Technology HDR10+ Refresh Rate 120 Hz Touch Sampling Rate 240 Hz Protection Corning Gorilla Glass (scratch resistant glass) Features Haptic touch Connections Connector Type USB Type-C - 24 pin USB-C Battery Capacity 4500 mAh Fast Charging Technology Qualcomm Quick Charge 4.
