Display, Camera, and Battery Performance
The 6.55-inch OLED display delivers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ certification, making it well-suited for streaming and gaming. For photography, both rear cameras use the Sony IMX766 50MP sensor, with OIS and EIS support for stable video. The 16MP Sony IMX471 handles selfies and video calls.
Battery life is handled by a 4,500mAh cell with 33W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. Nothing claims the phone lasts up to 18 hours of active usage on a single charge, and up to 2 days on standby. The rear panel also features a charging coil within the Glyph layout, which provides a visual cue for reverse wireless charging.
Glyph Interface: The Standout Feature
The defining feature of Nothing Phone 1 is its transparent back with 900 LEDs that form the Glyph Interface. These LEDs light up in different patterns for incoming calls, notifications, and charging status, offering a visual alternative to silent-mode alerts. It is a genuinely unique hardware feature not found on any competing smartphone at this price.
