The cat is practically out of the bag. The design of the Nothing (1) phone has been revealed, with a rather interesting looking back panel. The phone avoids the typical clean look found in most smartphones for a more industrial design. We still have to look at the front of the phone, but the back has a lot to do.
From what I’ve seen so far, do you like the design of the phone Nothing (1)?
Nothing (1) has been around for a long time, and the recent move to reveal the design of the phone before possible leaks is the latest attempt to attract potential buyers. The company has said that the phone will have a transparent back, which is more or less what we get.
You can’t really see the internal elements of the phone as they are carefully covered. Rather, the design shows how its internal components are arranged, much of the back occupied by what appears to be the wireless charging coil. There’s also a dual camera setup in the top left corner of the phone, which means the phone is probably among the best budget Android phones. There are several screws visible on the back, which makes the device look a bit like an unfinished prototype.

A striking aspect of the design is the inclusion of LED strips, including the rings around the cameras and the charging coil. This isn’t the first smartphone to feature backlit parts, though other examples are usually limited to the OEM logo. That said, it’s not clear what activates the lights on the Nothing (1) phone, a detail we may have to wait to see at the July launch event.
That said, if you want to be one of the first to get one, Nothing plans to auction 100 units on June 21 through its partnership with StockX.
