Despite the “visible” screws, this doesn’t appear to be any more repairable than other phones since those screws are below the glass. To be honest, it’s a little disappointing at first glance when you go in thinking “transparent phone.” When the company first hinted at that fact, I imagined something akin to those X-Ray skins several companies sell.īut past that, I do like the design. Instead, you’ll see some screws, the wireless charging coil, a few pads and ribbon cables, and the Glyph system. Head to the back of the phone, though, and the iPhone similarities rapidly disappear. You either get 128 GBs of storage with 8 or 12 GBs of RAM or 256 GBs of storage with 12 GBs of RAM. The bottom is also where you’ll insert your SIM card-what you won’t find is an SD card slot. The bottom does give away the game thanks to USB-C, at least until Apple finally gets around to making the switch. You’ll find a mic hole and antennae bands along the top, a power button on the right, and volume buttons on the left.
So you may not feel the need for a case at all.Ĭheck out the edges and the iPhone resemblance continues to show. And it’s also one of the few phones that doesn’t feel like a bar of soap ready to jump from your hands. You’ll want a transparent case (which Nothing will sell separately) to take advantage of the Glyph system. Here though, I can’t make that same argument. I generally prefer muted colors, especially knowing I’ll probably put a case on the device. I imagine the white variant does a better job of separating itself from the iPhone, but I rather like this black model. The Nothing Phone 1 comes in either white or black, and I’m testing the latter option. That’s no surprise, though, and we’ll get into performance later. I tested the phone while on AT&T towers and experienced very few issues, so long as I didn’t try to browse the internet while also on a voice call.
Whether that’s a sequel to this one or a reconfigured version of the Phone 1 remains to be seen. Nothing did tell PCMag it plans to launch a phone in the U.S. And you can’t use it on Verizon at all.įinding anyone willing to import will probably be challenging, thanks to that lack of FCC certification. On T-Mobile, it won’t support long-range bands, and on AT&T, it can’t handle VOLTE services. towers, and you’ll find some things don’t work quite right. You could perhaps theoretically import the Nothing Phone 1 at great expense, but it’s not certified by the FCC to work on U.S. It’s available in the U.K., parts of Europe, Japan, India, and a few other markets. The Nothing Phone 1 in its current form isn’t coming to the United States. Before we start, it’s worth revisiting that point about availability.
