Nothing Phone 1 revealed

On June 15, 2022, the company revealed the looks and design of the Nothing Phone 1. At first glance, the device looks fresh, unlike any other smartphone on the market. The edges of the smartphone are rather boxy and remind us of the newer iPhone models. However, the aluminium frame and glass back give it a premium look and finish. Upon looking at the device, one will instantly notice the highlighted lines that run at the top right, top left, centre and at the bottom of the back panel. These are actually illuminated patterns that might be used as notification LEDs. 

Besides the parrots, it is quite evident that Nothing has tried to maintain the semi-transparent design language that it followed with the Nothing Ear 1. However, the internal components of the smartphone are hidden by some sort of covering that is white/grey in colour. Nevertheless, it is now confirmed that the smartphone will ship with a dual-rear camera setup. The front panel of the smartphone is not revealed by the company yet.
