Nothing Phone (1) Smartphone, Android, 8GB RAM, 6.55”, 5G, SIM Free, 256GB, Black

Tired of following the tech herd? Separate yourself from the smartphone crowd with the Nothing Phone (1). This company has re-imagined smartphone interaction with their radical light-based Glyph interface, super-smooth Nothing OS, and original, considered design, right down to its supremely detailed 50MP dual cameras, and lush OLED display. This is a game-changer. This is like nothing before.

Glyph interface
Nothing’s radical Glyph interface revolutionises how you interact with your phone. Unique light patterns indicate who’s calling, and you can pair individual contacts to ringtones. You’ll know who’s calling, even on silent mode. Choose different Glyph patterns for notifications, so you can instantly tell messages and emails from calls, and the lights are dimmable for low disturbance.

Considered, intuitive design
The design of Phone (1) stands well apart from the crowd, and we’re not just talking on the surface. Dual-sided Gorilla glass ensures toughness, while advanced vibration motors make touch responses lifelike and intuitive. It’s finished with an aluminium frame and symmetrical bezels for lightness, durability, and more than a touch of elan.

Nothing OS
Based on Android, Nothing OS delivers a smooth, streamlined, seamless Android experience, with bespoke widgets, fonts, sounds and wallpapers. The Nothing system is open for fluid integration with big brand tech. And you don’t need separate apps for everything, it’s all in one place. Smart software learns from your usage, tailoring power delivery for a super-speedy experience.

Dual camera, lush lighting
Each of its dual cameras has a 50MP sensor, for brilliant realism, while Night Mode and image stabilisation ensure crisp detail in any light setting. Shoot crystal-clear 4K HDR Video at 60fps for exceptionally smooth, clear movies. It even includes its own studio lighting. Set the Glyph interface to full brightness for a portable, gentle ring-light, rather than the harshness of a flash.

Beautiful display
OLED display. HDR10+. A billion colours. The screen on the Nothing Phone delivers true-to-life colour and deep, real-world contrast. And an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate means super-responsive interaction, visuals, graphics, and gameplay.

High performance battery
Get up to 16 hours of power from every charge, get 50% of power from just 30 minutes of charging. And it’s compatible with Qi-certified wireless chargers too (available separately).

5G capability
The Nothing Phone’s future-proofed 5G modem will enable you to still use 4G, however depending on your network provider, you'll experience incredible speeds and better quality streaming video, along with more reliable network connections when you're in crowded places - especially during peak times.

What is SIM free?
You'll receive an unlocked device, so there’s no requirement to commit to any network, leaving you free to decide which SIM card/network to use. This gives you the opportunity to find the most suitable plan, whether that’s contract or pay-as-you-go, throughout the lifetime of the phone.

Top tip: as this mobile phone is supplied SIM-free and unlocked, you have access to SIM-only deals – these usually offer far better value for money – especially for all-important data plans.

You also have the option to add a foreign SIM card, so you can use this device overseas for less as well.

Additional information: manufacturers often update their Operating System (OS) software over the course of a device’s lifespan – this means that your product might ship with a more advanced OS than specified.
