Nothing is gearing up for the launch of its first-ever smartphone, dubbed the Nothing Phone (1). So far, we have received plenty of leaks, rumours, and official teasers of the Nothing Phone (1), and thanks to those, we already know a lot about the device, including its rear design, which was revealed by the brand a few days ago. Now, a new hands-on video by the famous YouTuber MKBHD has popped up, which leaves little room for guesswork when it comes to the design of the Nothing Phone (1). Let’s take a look.
As seen in the video above, this is what the Nothing Phone (1) will look like. The device will make room for a centrally-aligned punch-hole cutout for the selfie snapper. The display of the device is flat around the edges, and the overall device looks quite compact in the YouTuber’s hands. That said, we might have to wait for the device to launch to tell this with more confidence.
MKBHD further tells us about the LED lights that the Nothing Phone (1) makes room for at its back. The Red dot, which was a mystery for us all so far, turns out to be a video recording indicator. Furthermore, the LED strip at the very bottom will double as a charging percentage indicator.
The LED lights at the back will have various customisation options and will sync with the in-house ringtones of the Nothing Phone (1). Lastly, the Nothing Phone (1) will have support for wireless charging, as well as reverse wireless charging. As for the rest of the details, the video does not mention much about the specifications of the device.

Head over to the Nothing website and go to the pre-booking section. First click on “Learn More” and then tap on the ‘Join the waitlist button.
Nothing will ask for your Google or Apple ID to create or log in to the Nothing account. The company says you should log in using the same email ID that is registered with Flipkart. Doing otherwise means you will not get the invite.
Nothing will send the invite to your email ID when you are eligible for one. You will get to see the waitlist number, and expedite your chances by referring other people to use your code to pre-book and get the invite. All this sounds like a lot of effort just to buy a smartphone.
