Nothing phone 1
nothing phone 1 reviewMeet the phone world equivalent of a fresh pair of Yeezys. Excitement for OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei’s latest project was so frenzied, the first 100 handsets changed hands for almost ten times retail value – before the final hardware had even been revealed. Now Nothing has pulled back the curtain, can Phone 1 possibly live up to the hype? If the flat glass and metal frame give you serious iPhone 13 vibes, you’re not alone. The Phone 1 costs a third of Apple’s priciest handsets, but it does a good impression of them from the front and sides – just with a hole punch selfie camera instead of a notch. It feels pretty premium in your hand, too. The frame uses 100% recycled aluminium, and the whole thing is IP53 splash and dust resistant. It’s not guaranteed to survive a dunking like some pricier flagships, but will survive a brief rain shower. An IP rating of any kind is a rarity in the sub-£400 class.
