The verdict, up front

The phone that put Nothing on the map.

Nothing Phone (1) bet that design could differentiate in mid-range Android. Glyph + transparent rear made it work.

What works
  • Glyph LED design is unique.
  • Sony IMX766 main at mid price.
  • Wireless + reverse wireless.
  • Clean Nothing OS.
What doesn't
  • SD 778G+ is mid-tier.
  • IP53 only.
  • Updates ending.
  • Glyph is gimmick for some.
