Now that the hype train for the Nothing Phone 1 has slowed down a bit, it's time to take a long, hard look behind the light show to find out whether this is indeed a game-changing smartphone in its segment, or whether all the hype was overblown. I've been using the Phone 1 as my primary phone for about a week and I think it's safe to say that most people should be happy with what it offers, especially those who appreciate attention to detail.
The Phone 1 might not have the over-the-top specifications that some of the competition loves bragging about but it's the combination of little things that add up to a good experience. It's not perfect and there are some kinks that require ironing out, which we'll explore in this review.
Nothing Phone 1 price in India
Prices for the Nothing Phone 1 in India start at Rs. 32,999 for 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. For Rs. 35,999, you get double the storage (256GB) with the same amount of RAM, and finally at Rs. 38,999 you get 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. These prices seem fine for the sort of features and specs on offer but keep in mind that the Phone 1 doesn't come with a charger or a case, which are accessories that most of the competition offers.
