I’ve been using the Nothing Phone (1) for the past three months, and it’s truly a complete package. The design is unique and eye-catching, the Glyph interface is both cool and functional, and performance is smooth with a clean UI. The battery life, camera quality, and build are impressive too. It's a well-balanced phone that delivers value, style, and performance without compromises.

    Well, using this phone as my daily phone, and almost since launch.
    Positive:
    Simple
    Always received updates and still going. Now has android 15.
    Nothing company always hear you and respond your feedback. You have a dedicated form to do that in the smartphone.
    Not much bugs and the ones that rarely appear, are fixed on the next update.
    Battery last 1 full day, easily.
    Volte, vowifi and VoNR working.
    Already fall in water and it seems it has water protection.
    Good quality call and sound.
    Fingerprint screen unlock is somewat fast that my other Xiaomi.

    Cons:
    Screen could be a little more brighter, but it's acceptable out side with sun.
    Could be smaller.

    Overall: Awessome smartphone. I wish that it would had a smaller model... Otherwise is almost perfect.

      It's one of the worst smartphones I've ever had. There are a lot of bugs!

          It's a decent phone for the price but I kinda feel the Nothing company itself is untrustworthy every update since the phone 2 was released made the phone 1 worse.

          I originally only bought this phone because they stated there would be no phone 2 for years, instead about a month later the phone 1 seems forgotten. Phone 2 gets all the updates and improvements while phone 1 seems to get more sabotaged to sell more phone 2s.

          I expect the phone 3 gets announced any day now and the same happens to phone 2 owners.

                Nothing 1 was the best android ever since but I wanted Nothing 2 but the design didn't change like the one showed us while laughing it ..I was really disappointed though I'm still waiting for different design to buy Nothing 2

                  Third class phone in terms of battery backup.every hour it consumes 10-12 percent battery. 9- 10 hrs maximum battery back.pls don't buy it...moreover ringtones of this phone are horrible and irritating.

                    Had Nothing 1 since launch.
                    For the price (compare to phones 2 or 3 times the price) this is a very competent phone.
                    I don't play games, so can't comment on that.
                    I use it as a phone for calls,messages and I internet, plus Google Home integration..which all.wotk great.
                    I also take pretty good photos with it..so comments on bad camera are false..or down to user error.
                    The latest 2.0 OS update has massively improved the speed and look of the phone whilst adding a few nice functional touches.
                    They do seem to be listening to user feedback.. which is nice, whilst sticking to the minimal design methodology.

                    Its not a flagship Samsung (which can weigh in at 3 times this price), but it beats anything in its price range for simplicity and stability.. I will be looking at the next phone and giving this one toy wife at some point.

                      This is the only smart phone I could recomend.
                      If they keep doing them like this I will buy only Nothing Phones. Simple as that.

                          Worst phone ever! Don't ever buy this phone. It's camera quality is average. And owing to glass on the rear side too, it often looks shabby due to finger prints on touching it.

                            Anonymous, 11 Apr 2023The phone 1 looks interesting. They were selling it in the US for $300 during the beta, which ... moreAm using this phone for sure is so fantastic and very classic i like it i don't care about the price but am comfortable to use it.

                                So true abot the screenshots...i made hundreds of unwanted ones. But I had no issues with usb type c port. Quite opposite, it is more firm and stable then my previous xiaomi.

                                  Like this phone for wireless charging at this price and two useful camera unlike other chinese brands and also its good software. Midrange phones come with charger and case but this phone is suprisingly ok without them

                                      For me there were just two options: this phone for 530€ or Asus ROG6 1100€, bus as I don't play games, just watch Youtube, make calls, send sms and some other apps 530 € seemed way better option than Asus. I had Iphones (dont like that even my 2 cars manuals couln't be backed up, love audio though), Samsung (why to pay for Bixby, bloatware, Dex when I wont use them), others.. nothing cought my eye
