There are very few details about the Nothing Phone (1) so far. Nevertheless, the first smartphone from the start-up of OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei is expected with great hype. So far, the summer of 2022 has always been mentioned as the launch, but the time has finally come at the end of July.
We have received information that Nothing will launch the Phone (1) on July 21, 2022. The date is said to come from a European dealer, but the source wishes to remain unknown. Unfortunately, it is unclear whether Nothing will officially present the smartphone that day, for example in the form of a launch event, or whether the device will go on sale that day.
We couldn’t get any new details about the equipment and specifications, but Nothing is said to be targeting the price range of around 500 euros. The Phone (1) could therefore become an attractively priced mid-range smartphone with a transparent look and wireless charging, provided the first teasers are correct. It remains to be seen whether the smartphone can then also be pre-ordered from Mediamarkt or Saturn.

Nothing has already brought well-known manufacturers such as Qualcomm, Google and Samsung on board as partners. Will the phone (1) possibly get the new Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 ? In any case, the company relies on its own Android interface called Nothing OS for the software. You can already try out its design with the Nothing Launcher.
As far as the design is concerned: Carl Pei has shown a few insights and first sketches. Above all, the wireless charging coil seems to be in focus and should be particularly eye-catching. So it could be exciting to see what the smartphone will look like in the end.
