Nothing Phone (1) Design And Specs Revealed: Know More Details

Nothing-2

Nothing’s first smartphone, the Nothing Phone (1) launch is expected soon. After months of teasing, the company finally confirmed that the device would soon hit the shelves sometime this summer. In an interview with Wallpaper.com, Nothing’s founder Carl Pei and head of design Tom Howard also talked about phone’s design and what to expect.

Nothing Phone (1) To Have A Transparent Body

The Nothing phone (1) is expected to have a transparent back. The company wants to give the phone a distinctive look by highlighting all its critical components including camera and wireless charging coil in a transparent case. Speaking on the challenges, Tom Howard stated that they wanted to design a phone with visible internals at the back. This reasonably created some hurdles as there are over 400 components in a smartphone.

As per the report, Carl Pei stated that they wanted to achieve something different. He also stated that Nothing would like to follow a consistent design language just like Apple. Hence, we could be seeing an interesting look once the phone launches later this year.

Nothing Phone (1) Launch Date

A separate report by AllRound-PC suggests that the Nothing phone (1) will be officially launched on July 21. The report mentions the information has been sourced from an anonymous dealer. Therefore, possibility of it being inaccurate could be high.

Nothing Phone (1) Price

As per the report, the Nothing Phone (1) could launch at around 500 euros (roughly Rs. 41,519). We’ve also learned that Nothing has brought on some carrier partners on board (for the US market). In India, the company has partnered with the e-commerce giant Flipkart. The Nothing phone (1) will be available for sale via this online retailer exclusively in the country.

Nothing Phone (1) Specifications (Expected)

According to the leaked details, the Nothing Phone (1) will be powered by a Snapdragon 778G processor. It will feature a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with HDR10+ certification. The screen will have a 90Hz of refresh rate. For power, the device will pack a 4,500mAh battery. As for optics, it might feature a 50MP main camera, an 8MP ultrawide sensor and a 2MP macro lens. Upfront, the phone is expected to bring a 32MP selfie shooter.

Earlier this year, a small glimpse of NothingOS was revealed on March 23. Since then, Nothing has made the Nothing Launcher available on the Play Store for most Android devices for those who want to try it out.

Google Pixel Watch To Come In Three Model Variants: Here’s All You Need To Know

The first in-house smartwatch by Google, the Pixel Watch, will arrive later this year. It has already been making the rounds on the internet for some time. Now, the Pixel Watch has surfaced on the certification site FCC. The listing suggests that the upcoming smart wearable will come in three different model variants.

According to the FCC listing, the upcoming Google Pixel Watch will be available in three different models. One model, the GQF4C, will have WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity while the other two, the GBZ4S and GWT9R will have LTE connectivity. The GBZ4S, on the other hand, will support three LTE bands, i.e., LTE B5, B7, and B26. The GWT9R comes with support for 10 LTE bands, i.e., LTE B2, B4, B5, B12, B13, B17, B25, B26, B66, and B71. Besides, the GW9TR is expected to be released in the United States, while the GBZ4S will be launched in other regions.

Pixel Watch To Be Powered By The Cortex-M33 Co-Processor

As we know, the Exynos 9110 chipset is likely to power the Pixel Watch. However, for better power efficiency, it may have a co-processor most likely the Cortex-M33. Furthermore, the Google smartwatch is said to have 1.5GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The Cortex-M33’s power consumption is measured in micro Watts. Therefore, it should last a long time on the 300mAh battery.

Another interesting feature of the Pixel smart wearable is that it will have a linear motor for haptic feedback. This should provide better vibrations than watches with typical vibration motors.

We also found that the Pixel Watch would be manufactured by Taiwan’s Compal Electronics. It has been producing the Apple Watch for several years. As per the FCC, Compal Electronics will also make the charging cable of the Pixel Watch. Its charging cable would be a magnetic puck-type charger. However, unlike other chargers, it would have a USB-C connector. This will allow the Pixel Watch to use the same charger as the Google Pixel smartphones.

Pixel Watch Launch Date

Google will officially introduce the Pixel Watch this fall at the company’s annual hardware event which is speculated to be in October or November. It will be released alongside Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.
