To recap
The Nothing phone (1) is a competitive mid-range device with the price and performance to make it of interest. The camera only really offers one lens worth getting excited about, and, while the Glyph Interface is unique and a talking point, we haven’t really found it to do anything particularly useful. We like the clean software build and the overall geeky look of this phone, but it doesn’t really do anything to disrupt the status quo.
