Every so often a new smartphone makes waves in the tech world because of an eye-catching design or innovative features, and this month, the Phone 1 from Nothing is starring in reviews and videos thanks to its LED-laden transparent design and affordable price point . We picked up a Nothing Phone 1 to see how it measures up to Apple’s iPhones.<\/p>\n
Since Nothing is a relatively new company, we’ll give a little back story first. OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei founded Nothing in 2020, and in 2021, the company purchased Essential Products, the Andy Rubin-founded firm that manufactured the now-discontinued Android-based Essential Phone in 2017. From there, Nothing partnered with Swedish electronics company Teenage Engineering, known for its synthesizers, and the result is the Nothing Phone 1, introduced in March.<\/p>\n
Priced starting at \u00a3399 ($475), the Nothing Phone 1 is more affordable than most of Apple’s iPhones, and it is closest in price to the $429 iPhone SE and the $499 iPhone 11. Measuring in at 6.55 inches with an OLED display and a 120Hz refresh rate, the Phone 1 comes in black or white, and it has a series of LEDs at the back that form what the company says is a “glyph interface.” The LED lights serve as visual notifications, letting you know who is calling or messaging.<\/p>\n
