The cat is almost out of the bag. The design of the Nothing phone (1) has been revealed, showing a rather interesting looking back panel. The phone avoids the typical clean look you find on most smartphones for a more industrial design. We haven’t seen the front of the phone yet, but the back already has a lot.
Based on what you’ve seen so far, do you like the design of the Nothing phone (1)?
The Nothing phone (1) has been moving for some time, and the recent move to reveal the phone’s design before potential leaks is the latest attempt to attract potential buyers. The company is annoyed that the phone will have a transparent back, which is more or less what we get.
In fact, you cannot see the inside of the phone as it is carefully covered. Rather, the design shows how its internal components are arranged, much of the back is occupied by what appears to be a wireless charging coil. There is also a dual camera setting in the upper left corner of the phone, which means that the phone will probably be among the best budget phones with Android. Several screws are visible from behind, which makes the device look a bit like an unfinished prototype.

A surprising aspect of the design is the inclusion of LED strips, including the rings around the cameras and the charging coil. This is not the first smartphone to include backlighting, although other examples are usually limited to the OEM logo. However, it is not clear what triggers the phone’s lights Nothing (1), a detail we may have to wait to learn during the launch in July.
However, if you want to be among the first to get one, Nothing plans to sell 100 units on June 21 through its partnership with StockX.
