The base Nothing Phone (1) may end up costing a lot less than you think
This info comes from RootMyGalaxy, and the source not only shared the phone’s price, but also some images and specs as well. Do take this information with a grain of salt, though. Based on the shared info, the 8GB RAM model with 128GB of storage will cost $397. That’s not the only model that will be available, though. The variant with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will also launch, and cost $419. The top-of-the-line variant will include 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and will cost $456. Now, do note that we don’t know for what market are these price tags. The phone is expected to launch in India and Europe, amongst some other countries. It is not coming to the US, though. These could be equivalents for price tags in India, if there’s any truth to this at all. If the device really does end up costing this much, it may end up being a lot more appealing to consumers. $397 starting price is way lower than the €500 ($530) price, needless to say. If you take a look at the image below, you’ll see renders of both black and white Nothing Phone (1), courtesy of the source. It seems like two renders were poorly combined into a single image, though, hence the odd, multi-colored background.
A 120Hz OLED display is expected, along with 45W charging
What about the specs? Well, RootMyGalaxy did share quite a bit of info. According to the source, the phone will feature a 6.55-inch 120Hz OLED display. That will likely be a fullHD+ panel. The Snapdragon 778G+ will fuel the phone, while both 8GB and 12GB LPDDR5 RAM variants will be available. The phone will come in 128GB and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage options, as mentioned earlier. A 4,500mAh battery will be included, and support 45W wired charging. You can also expect 15W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging. Android 12 will come pre-installed, along with Nothing OS on top of it. A 50-megapixel main camera will be backed by a 16-megapixel secondary unit. A 16-megapixel selfie camera will also be a part of the package. The Nothing Phone (1) is said to weigh 199 grams, while it will be 7.55mm thick. Stereo speakers will be a part of the package, and will offer Dolby Atmos support. 5G connectivity will be included, and the same goes for Bluetooth 5.2.
