Do check out by new phone brand, out in 2023, 1000mp 4 cameras, 10000mah battery, 7 inch, amopoled, and support to connect with the aliens. Will offer 100 years of android update. Lets make something interesting, it will be called- ANYTHING PINEAPPLE!!!!
Thanks for the review, waiting of the best mid range phones video because it's really too complicated to make the choice between those mid range smartphone. I want an 2022 amoled smartphone, with decent battery life, good design, no bloatware, at least 3 years of Android OS Update and 4 years of Security Update, good performance but i don't need necessarly the flagship performance, around 400€
You completely decimated that box! It's supposed to have a little pull tab that rips it open. But hey as long as the phones out of the box that's all that matters, yeah?
I honestly tried to rip it as carefully as possible, maybe that was where I went wrong - should've used the bandaid approach, quick and clean. Hopefully they'll just do a normal box for Phone(2)!
Probably the cleanest review of this phone (removing all the hype) I’ve seen on TH-cam. It looks like a solid phone and the form factor is nice too. Fantastic review as always, thanks for putting it together ✌🏼
The most useful was the front facing Led light on Samsung S8, which turns red when charging, and have different colour for every messaging app...it's for notifications which got missed
yes I'm really considering this one now. I have a Samsung A51, which has become very slow over the past year (a geek bench test gives me scores less than half of Nothing phone (1) ) so I'm eager to upgrade later this year. I was planning on either the S20 FE or S21 FE, but honestly I tend to care more about physical design than software features so this feels almost tailor made!. I love the flat iPhone 12 esque front, back and sides, and the completely symmetrical bezels are awesome! Plus getting wireless charging at this price point is amazing!
@Marouan Fares Software and Security are not good on Poco. Everyone knows they come with delay and sometime they can decrease the experience. I bought a Poco F4 because i wanted to test it as a second phone but i would not recommend to buy a Poco. More another Samsung and not a Nothing Phone because i don't know well about Support Policy and Store even if i like the phone. With a Samsung A52s or and S21FE, you can't have problems
Every phone looks beautiful in your hand, because you put cute cool anime wallpaper on phone home screen. And that's why I want to watch the video by looking at the thumbnail of your video.
Interesting phone! Unfortunately not available in the good ole U S of A. I have an iPhone 13 mini which I’m really enjoying at the moment. Keep it going Spurty!
I find it brilliant how you turned camera review footage taking into small family trips. We don't necessarily have to pick between work and family. Your little princess seems to be enjoying it as well!
I mean it cant be a flagship killer if most "flagships" phones have so many less features than mid range phones Flagships apart from sony, LG and asus phones are not real flagshipss sonce theyreball missing Jack's and sd slots
Frankly, it's very tempting in terms of features and build quality, especially at it's price. And an upgrade from my dusty crack galaxy S9 to this beauty would really be a choice I'd take in consideration. Thanks alot for the review, you did a great job!
was planning to buy this as a new phone. since mine is almost 4 years old.. then the department of finance in my house says "ur phone is still working" so i guess, i have to wait for a couple of years haha
Like you, I prefer and miss the days of 5 ~ 5.5" phones, and you, sir, have shattered my hopes that this would be tiny. Damn you Carl Pei. I've been suffering with the Pixel 6 and eventually got myself an S22 that I simply cleaned up (OS-wise... since I despise Samsungs OneUI) and while I miss some aspects of the Pixel, the size of the S22 is just about as big as I am comfortable handling. There just aren't enough options and there is absolutely no chance I end up switching over to iOS for their "mini" lineup. So, once again, thank you for being the beacon, the one reviewer I can trust to have similar interests to my own.
I'm considering Nothing Phone (1) right now, because I made some money in my part-time job. Thanks for nice review, I love all your videos. Also I'd love to have some web site or cloud folder with wallpapers you use in your videos (I couldn't find them anywhere).
Thanks for this video! I'm looking at the Nothing Phone 1, it seems to have pretty much everything I want; wireless charging, good enough cameras, good enough performance, clean software, good looking design, etc. The Glyph interface is a cool party trick but it's definitely not why I'm buying the phone. But yeah, look past the hype and it seems like a pretty good all-round package. I'm looking forward to the comparison, the PIxel 6a looks tempting but it only has a 60Hz display...
right, if you ,,delete" that disco light ..this phone is actually good for that price, that battery life will be better with updates, fast system, 120hz ...
Aye, I think most people would be happy with this one, but also completely ignore the glyph stuff. It was a great marketing gimmick, so did its job I guess!
@@AntNotTony I have an A52 5G atm, I bought it because of OneUI and the Windows integration. It's my first Android phone though really... I don't like OneUI and Samsung as a company at the moment so I'm not planning on going with them for my next phone, I want to experiment with other brands. Plus, the S20 FE is older now and I don't think buying it would be a good idea at this stage in the product's life cycle.
Reminds me of the Mi A series...back to basic, light, and fresh phones running clean Google ONE. The extended software support makes this Nothing phone very tempting indeed.
Lovely design (iPhone wise that people love a lot). White is awesome color, stock android is beautiful, iPhone doesn't let you arrange icons like I love to. Maybe price-features is adequate but it looks very clean and nice overall
@@Mezthecreator it certainly isn’t I mean compare it to A53 And it definitely isn’t Plus cameras always need about 1-2 updates after release Even my s22 plus got significantly better after the second camera update
Really good review as always. 👍👍 I've preordered phone (1) and hope it will be good. Choosed between this and Pixel 6a but picked the phone (1) because Pixel don't sell in Sweden and its expensive to import. 😀
Have you got the phone? If you've got it, could you please tell me about your experience with the Phone (1)? What about camera performance, OS system, battery life, audio output and processor performance?
Still pretty happy with my Samsung S20 FE, but if it should meet a grizzly fate I would probably look at a nothing phone. I like the lights, even if they are completely useless.
Dude. Video recordings from THIS phone is absolute mental. Really good. But i don't like the audio pickup from microphone when videos was recorded with front facing camera. They lower audio bitrate for no reason at all, this phone comes with 256GB...
On the verge of finally replacing my grossly outdated Nokia 7.1 and am torn between this and the Pixel 6a. I am leaning a bit towards the 6a for the cameras though..
A small front facing LED light, that has multiple colors for different apps, like I had on my pixel 2 and the always on display are a million times better and more useful than sticking a bunch of lights on the back of your phone. I love the design but I don't really think they though out the lights, unless It was designed to be a gimmick
@@mortuus4601 nah still looks nice and the charging indicator while charging or the light glowing when reverse charging is actually really useful. Still looks awesome after more than a week
Sure it will do well but don't really like those silly lights on the back ! Stick with my Moto 20 lite. Well happy with that phone ! Good review bud, keep them coming 👍
Actually it looks like great phone for personal use without comparing specs. like when we buy iPhones. It's just the name actually and we are sure of quality
Started on the right foot in a crowded good tier of mid range phones, but we can surely find better options. At this price even a flagship from 2020 is better. It still gets updates...
I don't even mind that it's lacking a headphone jack that's pretty much all phones these days I just can't get over the lack of a charging brick on a new brand of phone.
I thought the Nothing phone 1 would include the headphone jack and SD card slot as they wanted to "give consumers more choices". What a disappointment and missed opportunity.
Today most people use TWS, phone storage getting bigger and there is cloud storage available, music and video streaming service also widely available. But some will still complain about these two damn things in almost every new phone released like they're gonna die.
forget about those thing. It's OVER unless you buy redmi or phone like that or a Sony smartphone. Companies will not coming back. Iphone have icloud. Samsung have partneship with Microsoft and OneDrive. On Android, we have Google Drive. Sad but facts

Good review, not buying it now. I counted 5 glitches/non-reponsive/hangs in total, and you've only used it for a week. Maybe it'll be resolved in the updates, but 400 pounds is not such a small amount that I can take a punt.
I like the aesthetic of the transparent back, but the lights show is a completely useless gimmick for me. I literally can't think of one instance when I would actually put my phone face-down on the table like that.
Nothing have released a shit ton of updates apparently and the camera tech has apparently improved. Could you maybe re-visit and do a update as I love how detailed your reviews are! Was going to buy a iPhone until I seen Nothing offering somewhat similar for less - only downside is, it can not film in 4k@60fps :(
Now I got the clear picture and agreed with the flashy one colour disco shenanigans, either it might scare the house cat or the scary old black crows outside the window. Also would like to dunk more in the next comparison video, thank you mate! Cheer's
I always enjoy your takes! Unfortunately, it won't be available over here across the pond in The Colonies. LOL At least, not until Nothing lays out some $$ to get some carrier love as it were. It'll be interesting to see how the 6A does. I hear it has the same cameras as the 5 series. That, coupled with Google's software ought to make for some decent shots. You're daughter is, as we say in Wisconsin, a HOOT! Thanks again.
Seems from a few reviews i've seen that that the 6A has a huge problem in having terrible battery life. One reviewer hasn't had a full days use out of the 6A in the time he's had the phone, and seeing as it's one of the slowest charging phones on the market (18w) it's a pretty big problem.
I just realized the glyph lights around the wireless charging coil with the accent on the top right is exactly what the apple logo looks like! 😲😲So sneaky
So is it basically a overpriced A52+? Im not very adept with midrangers as I prefer to stick to flagships, so would it be fair to say its a A52+ with less software support, more expensive and worse cameras?
I reckon, those glyph notification is actually more flexible as lockscreen software feature than hardware leds. With hardware leds you stuck with that interface. As software feature you can offer more options.
I think CODM should maybe be fade out as a gaming test as most phones run it no problem. Instead, I wonder if Apex Legends would work better as its more demanding. Enjoyed the video, keep up the great work.
If you want to be faithful to the origin of the word, which is from Italian and the Italian word itself is from Arabic, meaning hot desert wind, you should pronounce it: 'ghibli'. (I do speak Italian BTW) The rule is if there's an H after G, it is always pronounced as [g] as in 'goat'. But if you want to actually say what the company/studio calls itself, you should know that they register as 株式会社スタジオジブリ (Kabushiki-gaisha Sutajio Jiburi), which is 'jiburi'. Mostly because the Japanese mispronounced it, however due to the studio's popularity around the world, it is more common to hear 'jiburi' rather than 'ghibli' outside the Italian and Arabs world. TL;DR: the Italian word and its Arabic counterpart is 'ghibli', the Japanese animation studio is 'jiburi'.
14:34 yeah, I can only confidently recommend this over iPhone SE 2022. It's not very competitive against other android brands within the same price range
With the existing deals for the pixel 6 for £449, thats truely hard for any mid range phone to beat and makes the up coming pixel 6a a mystery to me as the regular 6 is so much more phone for only £50 more.
Hi Chris, thks for this interesting review. It don't fancy the glyph back at all, but it's refreshing to see a fresh design! To answer your question about Ghibli, the Japanese pronuncation is "Jiburi" ;-).
Yup! Ghibli is actually a name of a... desert wind. The word itself comes from Arabic, but is known to Miyazaki through Italian, so it should be pronunced as "Jeeblee".
Better to go for the 2nd or the 3rd iteration as they will hopefully iron out the small niggles that are present in their first phone.Btw nice review like always,loved it.
Thanks mate Best and most helpful review on this phone I've seen I really fancy one of these phones when they are more available I think I like the black one more than the white though 😂
I am in the market for a new smartphone . I held the nothing phone for almost 30 minutes in the shop and honestly I was amazed by it ! That said I was disappointed by the video and the camera quality which should have been better imo. It felt SOLID in my hand and no other phone has given me that feeling before so I am a bit sad about not deciding to get this one.
Thanks for another excellent video. If I were to branch out into the midrange price point, think the Pixel 6a would be my first choice, but this Nothing phone is just crazy enough that it might tempt a look. 🥂
@@drew311stylee the Pixel 6a initial specs doesn't look promising. Only 60hz panel, 18w charging, no wireless charging, and camera downgrade to 12mp setup similar to the pixel 5a. It gets the tensor chip though.
@Benjamin Jagun who's comparing it with Nothing phone..? What's there to compare.? Pixel 6a is just crap, just get pixel 5a or pixel 6. Tensor is just exynos.. And it's crap. Just weight for Pixel 7.
I love the front end design of it. Perfectly even symmetrical bezels are almost never seen in the android space, meanwhile iphones have had it since 2017.
Google did a pretty job of symmetrical bezels on the Pixel 5, but then went back to having a slightly thicker chin on the Pixel 6 for some reason. 🤷🏻♂️
@@Gazmeizster_Wongatron And on the 4 and 4xl they did a really good job on copying facid. I had both devices for a while and they performed exactly the same. But of course Google has to dump everything good.
I'm not buying this phone for sure. Old SOC, common place Sony imx 766 camera, big and bulky size. Not for me. Thanks for the very frank and honest review.
For what most people do most of the time a chipset from a 10 year old phone would do the job. A clean bloat free software load with a clear design language is right here in the Nothing. I'm in.
Thanks for the interesting comparison. Personally I use pixels because I have them figured out for the most part. I had Samsungs for years and got tired of the bloat. Future success buddy. Dave
Thanks for checking out my thoughts on the Nothing Phone 1, hoping to compare it to the biggest and best mid range phones out there soon!

Was going to buy a iPhone until I seen Nothing offering somewhat similar for less - only downside is, it can not film in 4k@60fps :(
Haha, Love the mini review of the fountain's refreshing-ness, tucked away in this vid.
I definitely want the NOTHING PHONE 1, the days I loved Oneplus (now OPPO) are way past my taste (I had 2 Oneplus phones)
was waiting for this one, cheers!
Ta for watching!
I can't wait to see how photos will turn out with gcam installed ..
Now I got the clear picture and agreed with the flashy one colour disco shenanigans, either it might scare the house cat or the scary old black crows outside the window. Also would like to dunk more in the next comparison video, thank you mate! Cheer's
I always enjoy your takes! Unfortunately, it won't be available over here across the pond in The Colonies. LOL At least, not until Nothing lays out some $$ to get some carrier love as it were. It'll be interesting to see how the 6A does. I hear it has the same cameras as the 5 series. That, coupled with Google's software ought to make for some decent shots. You're daughter is, as we say in Wisconsin, a HOOT! Thanks again.
Seems from a few reviews i've seen that that the 6A has a huge problem in having terrible battery life.
One reviewer hasn't had a full days use out of the 6A in the time he's had the phone, and seeing as it's one of the slowest charging phones on the market (18w) it's a pretty big problem.
Solid review as always..
But man, can you please share where you get your Anime Wallpapers? 😁
I just realized the glyph lights around the wireless charging coil with the accent on the top right is exactly what the apple logo looks like! 😲😲So sneaky
So is it basically a overpriced A52+? Im not very adept with midrangers as I prefer to stick to flagships, so would it be fair to say its a A52+ with less software support, more expensive and worse cameras?
📩
How much is it?
@@hunyohulyan £400 or $475
A52 nor A52s have a coil for wireless charging, especially rated for 15W. They also both have plastic chasis.
Hi nice i love it, can u screen mirror from the phone to the TV?
I reckon, those glyph notification is actually more flexible as lockscreen software feature than hardware leds. With hardware leds you stuck with that interface. As software feature you can offer more options.
I think CODM should maybe be fade out as a gaming test as most phones run it no problem. Instead, I wonder if Apex Legends would work better as its more demanding.
Enjoyed the video, keep up the great work.
If you want to be faithful to the origin of the word, which is from Italian and the Italian word itself is from Arabic, meaning hot desert wind, you should pronounce it: 'ghibli'. (I do speak Italian BTW)
The rule is if there's an H after G, it is always pronounced as [g] as in 'goat'.
But if you want to actually say what the company/studio calls itself, you should know that they register as 株式会社スタジオジブリ (Kabushiki-gaisha Sutajio Jiburi), which is 'jiburi'.
Mostly because the Japanese mispronounced it, however due to the studio's popularity around the world, it is more common to hear 'jiburi' rather than 'ghibli' outside the Italian and Arabs world.
TL;DR: the Italian word and its Arabic counterpart is 'ghibli', the Japanese animation studio is 'jiburi'.
Thank you so much erik ten hag I didn't knew you do tech review and manage Manchester United as well!
Best review I've seen of this lad👌
👆👆
I just can’t get over the fact that how badly he destroyed that aesthetic packaging 🗿
14:34 yeah, I can only confidently recommend this over iPhone SE 2022. It's not very competitive against other android brands within the same price range
📩👆
Cameras are thrash
Friend : What phone you are currently using now?
Me : Nothing
Friend : Ahh Okay..
honestly i think the glyph and back looks shit
the main selling point to me is those gorgeous even bezels. i'm sick of big chins on phones now..
Aye, Jimmy Hill chins aren't a good look. Glyph back definitely very much love or hate, been interesting seeing the clashing opinions
Samsung s22 and s22+ has slim symmetrical bezels.
Brother i love ou for always using a anime Wallpaper on the phones you test for us
I love to have a iPhone mini and a budget Android that's special, this is perfect.
We appreciate for what your vivid reviews man 👏👏
It's a wish iphone with more honest specs IMO
I wonder if this would be worth upgrading from my pixel 5. An iphone like chasey and basically no bloat stock android is all I ever wanted
With the existing deals for the pixel 6 for £449, thats truely hard for any mid range phone to beat and makes the up coming pixel 6a a mystery to me as the regular 6 is so much more phone for only £50 more.

Your review is WAY WAY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER than MKBHD and Mrwhosetheboss entirely. Facts only.
Hi Chris, thks for this interesting review. It don't fancy the glyph back at all, but it's refreshing to see a fresh design!
To answer your question about Ghibli, the Japanese pronuncation is "Jiburi" ;-).
📩👆
Yup! Ghibli is actually a name of a... desert wind. The word itself comes from Arabic, but is known to Miyazaki through Italian, so it should be pronunced as "Jeeblee".
Better to go for the 2nd or the 3rd iteration as they will hopefully iron out the small niggles that are present in their first phone.Btw nice review like always,loved it.
Or just buy it and then sell it when they bring out the newer version down the line...
@@tylerb6066 haha that sounds like a plan🙂.
When did you film this? 19 degrees? I remember when it was that cool.
If you don't mind me asking where do you get your wallpapers from?
Pinterest
Thanks mate
Best and most helpful review on this phone I've seen
I really fancy one of these phones when they are more available
I think I like the black one more than the white though 😂
Was gonna get this, but with £150 off the pixel 6, I got that instead, glad I did now! 😁
I am in the market for a new smartphone . I held the nothing phone for almost 30 minutes in the shop and honestly I was amazed by it ! That said I was disappointed by the video and the camera quality which should have been better imo. It felt SOLID in my hand and no other phone has given me that feeling before so I am a bit sad about not deciding to get this one.
Thanks for another excellent video. If I were to branch out into the midrange price point, think the Pixel 6a would be my first choice, but this Nothing phone is just crazy enough that it might tempt a look. 🥂
don't buy it bro ,read reviews first !
@@roeal6867 I'm sticking with the S22+ so I'm unlikely to need a midrange set unless something tragic happens, but my curiosity is piqued.
@@drew311stylee the Pixel 6a initial specs doesn't look promising. Only 60hz panel, 18w charging, no wireless charging, and camera downgrade to 12mp setup similar to the pixel 5a. It gets the tensor chip though.
@Benjamin Jagun who's comparing it with Nothing phone..? What's there to compare.? Pixel 6a is just crap, just get pixel 5a or pixel 6. Tensor is just exynos.. And it's crap. Just weight for Pixel 7.
hey man , what is ur daily phone? what do u use usually?
Can't wait until the something phone comes out 2023
I love the front end design of it. Perfectly even symmetrical bezels are almost never seen in the android space, meanwhile iphones have had it since 2017.
They’ve also been providing the largest notch for most of that time lol.
@@NehemYah810 True, but no one else can match the refinement of faceid.
Google did a pretty job of symmetrical bezels on the Pixel 5, but then went back to having a slightly thicker chin on the Pixel 6 for some reason. 🤷🏻♂️
@@Gazmeizster_Wongatron And on the 4 and 4xl they did a really good job on copying facid. I had both devices for a while and they performed exactly the same. But of course Google has to dump everything good.
O symmetrical
Great video, cheers mate
افضل صانع محتوى شكرا لك

We would definitely like a comparison between nothing phone 1 vs mi 12lite 5g
Picked up yesterday it's great
I quite like this phone, better than I expected. IPhone without the notch look is appealing.
11:31 Glyph flashing the Apple logo 😅
📩
For me there's nothing about that phone, that would make me want to purchase it.
I'm not buying this phone for sure. Old SOC, common place Sony imx 766 camera, big and bulky size. Not for me. Thanks for the very frank and honest review.
good review and I have preordered my phone(1) so looking forward to trying it out soon
👆👆
Great first attempt to make something that looks different. We sorely need something like this
Nice ambient music . Great vid
The Pixel 6 is available for £450 at the moment... why would you pick the nothing over that ?
For what most people do most of the time a chipset from a 10 year old phone would do the job. A clean bloat free software load with a clear design language is right here in the Nothing. I'm in.
Thanks for the interesting comparison. Personally I use pixels because I have them figured out for the most part. I had Samsungs for years and got tired of the bloat. Future success buddy. Dave
