Nothing Phone (1) expected specifications
Nothing much is known about the Nothing Phone (1) yet, especially in terms of specifications. However, we know that the phone will be powered by a Qualcomm system-on-chip. The report by the publication says that the phone could sport a Snapdragon 700 series chipset, probably even the recently launched Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip. In addition to this, the phone is tipped to run Android 12-based NothingOS. The company has already given a glimpse of Nothing OS’ beta launcher on select smartphones.
Separately, in an interview by the Wallpaper, Pei and Nothing‘s head of design, Tom Howard, revealed that the phone will come with a ‘inside out’ design. “There are over 400 components in a smartphone, assembled in layers. We wanted to celebrate the “good ones”, the things we thought were really interesting to emphasise’,” Howard told the blog site.

“From an industry perspective, you’re looking at components that the end user normally never sees, so you almost have to overhaul the entire manufacturing process in order to highlight them,” he added.
Additionally, the Nothing Phone (1), as per its executives, will become ‘a control centre for your digital life’ and that it will focus on the ‘marriage between form and function.’
