Editorial report

Nothing Phone (1) 12 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet

The Nothing Phone (1) suits buyers who prioritize a bright display and wireless charging. Its main trade-off is a 4,500 mAh battery, with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. This configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold as 8 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB versions.

Its 6.55-inch OLED display has a 1080 × 2400 px resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate, typical for phones of its time. Pixel density at 402 ppi and peak brightness of 1,200 nits are better than those of most contemporaries. HDR10+ and Always-On Display are included. The main camera's 1/1.56″ sensor is larger than that of most phones launched around the same time, and it has optical image stabilization. Its f/1.9 aperture, however, is less bright than most. A 50 MP ultrawide camera adds a second rear perspective.

Wireless charging at 15 W is among the best of its time, while wired charging is 33 W. Connectivity also ranks among the best, with 5G bands, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, and dual Nano-SIM support. The overall NeoScore is 7.1. This is a good fit for buyers looking for a standout screen, a versatile camera setup, and wireless charging, provided the lower battery capacity and less-bright aperture suit their priorities.
