Carl Pei is finally getting ready to reveal his master plan with the launch of Nothing phone (1). The release of the new “OnePlus wannabe” was perhaps one of the main reasons for the former OnePlus co-founder to start his own separate brand. Now, the device is about to be released, and the company is constantly feeding us suspense games. Instead of sharing technical specifications, the company offers other information such as a behind-the-scenes look at the company’s creation and phone development. The company also showcased the assembly line, design and development of the Glyph and its sounds, as well as a meeting with Qualcomm.
in recent teaser Through TikTok, the company has just revealed that the new phone will come with a fingerprint scanner. It’s an exciting confirmation, after all, as even in 2022, not all smartphones have jumped in that direction. The Apple iPhone 13 series doesn’t offer an in-screen fingerprint scanner, even in 2022. It doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner at all, as the company continues to focus solely on Face ID. According to reports, the iPhone 14 series will also miss this feature. If you remember, Carl Pei promised Nothing Phone (1) is the true “Android alternative” to the iPhone. As far as biometrics is concerned, the device brings more than Apple.
None Phone (1) alleged features
However, it should be noted that Nothing phone (1) will need to establish itself in this competitive market. The device brings premium software and design but comes with Snapdragon 778+ SoC. According to the company, these chips are more than necessary and people don’t really need a lead SoC.
Time will tell if this is a valid strategy, but we assume that the company wanted to play at a low price just as the OnePlus One did in its days. However, the Snapdragon 8 chip can no longer be brought to mid-range prices. Anyway, the device will sport a 6.55-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The device also has a “Glyph” which is a group of LED lights that can flash for different notifications.
The Nothin (1) will be launched in Europe, UK, Middle East, Asia and Australia. The phone will cost around €470 and leave the United States behind. The company will launch the device on July 12.
