Transparent Nothing Phone (1) Design Confirmed Ahead of Possible July Release

Posted on by admin

It really says a lot about the current mobile industry that one of the most anticipated Android smartphones of the year will come from a small company founded in 2020. Worse (or is it bizarrely better?), the Nothing Phone (1) remains. almost completely shrouded in secrecy after multiple teasers from CEO Carl Pei and even a press event that didn’t offer much in terms of actual device features and capabilities.

Whether you agree with Pei, who co-founded OnePlus nearly a decade ago, on handset designs that need a hard reset or not, it’s certainly intriguing to hear from a relatively high-profile startup committed to a radically different approach.

An affordable device like you’ve never seen before

These are not just empty promises, mind you, because the fast approaching first-ever smartphone from the brand Nothing has been officially confirmed to rock a “transparent case” that reveals the “inner workings” of the device. According to both Carl Pei and Tom Howard, the company’s head of design, achieving the perfect transparent aesthetic proved a bit more challenging than just building a phone like all the others currently on the market and making the back plate transparent. .
That’s because Nothing wanted to ‘celebrate’ the very best of a handset’s 400+ internal components, many of which are normally layered among other parts and thus difficult to present. Ultimately, the London-based tech outfit chose consumers the wireless charging coil as his “hero”play with the rest of the transparent design “like a puzzle”.
The end result could see the light of day on July 21, at least according to an unnamed European retailer that the folks at Allround PC in Germany have “translated here”. Unfortunately, we don’t know if that should be a good announcement date, pre-orders for the day start in the old continent, or even a full commercial release date, and for its part, nothing holds up to a vague “summer” launch promise.

Perhaps even more exciting, the Nothing Phone (1) is rumored to target a “price range around 500 euros”, meaning that the potential audience is much larger than that of the ultra-high-end iPhone 13 Pro Max or Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra .

No real specs confirmed yet

Of course, that also means that this trend-defying and completely unconventional device won’t be powered by one of the fastest mobile processors out there. On the plus side, nothing has announced a partnership with Qualcomm yet, so the hot new upper-midrange Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 silicon could have a lot on the table.

When you add wireless charging support and the recycled aluminum frame is already attached to the $500 or so Nothing Phone (1) comparison, the bang for the buck starts to sound pretty impressive… even if you put it “inside out” – design into consideration. is guaranteed to set this bad boy apart from all competitions in the summer of 2022.

Besides, the see-through design is likely to remain a staple for years to come after its debut on the company’s first true wireless earbuds (and its first product run). The long-term goal is to create a “coherent vision” similar to what Apple has done with its iPhones and unlike what essentially all Android device manufacturers do, try too many things at once without holding back. to be. towards a “consistent way of designing products”. I

Sure, the Nothing Phone (1) will run Android on the software side, but even that has been refined (in the form of Nothing OS) to conform to Carl Pei’s philosophy that “products should be simple at a glance” while offering their users “back more” the more time they spend with them.
