Nothing, the technology startup by former OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, is all set to reveal its first smartphone. The Nothing phone (1) will launch on July 12 at 8.30 pm IST. The company is hosting a live event in London and will host a live stream for the same on its website nothing.tech. The event is titled ‘Return to Instinct,’ with the brand calling the phone its most important product.
In a press statement, the company said that the launch event is “ the real start of Nothing’s journey,” and calls this “an invitation to unlearn everything the industry has taught us.” The phone will be available on Flipkart, something the company has already confirmed. This will be the second product from the Nothing brand. The first was the Nothing ear (1) TWS buds, which received mostly positive reviews.
The Nothing smartphone will be powered by a Qualcomm chipset, though whether it will be the top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Gen 1+ is not clear. Some leaks claim that the phone (1) will run a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor. The brand is stressing on design as something that will make the phone (1) stand out.
Nothing Phone 1 price in India is expected to be ₹24,999. The expected launch date of Nothing Phone 1 in India is July 12, 2022. This is a 8GB RAM/ 128GB storage variant. The phone could be available in Transparent White and black color variants.
