Video Creator’s Channel The Tech Chap
Cheese Boom There We Go Hey Guys,
I’m on the tech chap and let’s talk about nothing okay that’s the next time. I’m going to mention that joke. This is the nothing phone one and there’s been a ton of hype around this firstly because well it’s their first phone. They only were established like two and a half years ago. We had the ear buds the nothing earbuds last year, which did pretty well.
I Think Its All Over Half
a million units and here we are with their first phone so is it any good well. This is just a first impressions bit of a hands-on. There’s a separate embargo for reviews and actually I do want to spend a bit more time with this before I give you my final judgment. But I can show you around and give you some of my first thoughts and first. All there are two things you need to know number one I actually have covert right now.
Im Not Sure If You Can
tell by my sweaty forehead and my horsey voice. Here is the double line test to prove it. I’m feeling pretty rough, but I wanted to get this video up and share with you my first impressions so if you haven’t subscribed yet I will happily take a pity subscribe but the second thing you need to know is I’m having a great time with this. It’s one of the most unique and just kind of fun phones. I’ve used in a long time.
The First Thing I Want To
show you though is this this is the box which you can see is already open. This is a terrible unboxing video, but actually if you haven’t followed me on Tik tok or instagram. I did a. bit of a box Ah that’s the that’s the cover kicking in I did a bit of an unboxing short there so go and follow me over there, but as you can see there is no room for a charger. In here we get the phone, a UsBc cable, a ejector tool and some paperwork that is it.
I Do Also Have A Couple Of
cases here but they came separately from I was going to say oneplus there that’s dangerous. We’ll come back to that in a second but as you can see this is a clear plastic one so you can still see this but first you’ll have to excuse me. We can still see this glyph interface on the back and also this nifty bumper case which that and also just the design itself really kind of reminded me of the iphone 4 we’ve got this aluminium. frame around the edge curved and of course that had the bumper case as well, which was there to fix antenna gate No such problems here We’ve got gorilla glass 5 on the front and back. It does feel a little plasticky, but we’ve got this nice smooth aluminium frame on the back.
It Comes In Two Colors, White
or black. All those sort of pre-release hype photos and early access videos always showed the white which initially I was a little bit disappointed that I was given the black, but I think it kind of makes those glyph lights stand out even more so let’s talk about that the Glyph interface. So if I open the camera app I can actually go to video and rather than having a flash. I can turn on the glyph fill light, so this is one of the use cases. It really is.
Useful Quite Close Up So If Youre Taking
pictures of your food or your dog or something up close and it will do everything from as I say give you a fill light for your photos and videos, but it also flashes with your ringtones notification sounds if you pop it in for charging and there’s just quite a unique design to it. People say that this over here looks a little bit like a wall-e character Wall-e wall-e. I should say some of the people can see elephants in it This looks like an exclamation mark definitely a sort of cyberpunky futuristic vibe going on here UK so the challenge for any phone company is how do you stand out and I think while nothing has wild aspirations there’s so much they can do. In the sort of two years they’ve existed and they’ve really been fully working on. 18 months so it is still a glass rectangle with fairly average specs.
This Is A Affordable Slash Budget
phone We’re talking 400 pounds, which puts this against the likes of the Pixel 6a and the Samsung Galaxy A53. We’ll come back to that in a second so what makes this stand out well Three things. I think firstly it is relatively affordable. Secondly I love the design of this it’s comfortable. It’s unique.
I Think The Glyph Interface Is
really cool, and I think thirdly we’ve also got their ecosystem. Now this runs Android 12 with their nothing os on top, but it’s very lightweight. There’s no blower. There’s no pre-installed apps outside of the Google stuff and also it’s an open ecosystem. So eventually it’s in beta right now, but they’re telling me that you’ll be able to control your tesla from these sort of big short cut.
Menus At The Top Here So Its
very close to stock Android just with their own little sort of skin on top which I like it’s extremely lightweight and it means it’s fast as well and they say this with the earbuds and their software really is just the start of the ecosystem. They’re creating so I can’t wait to see what else is going to be coming, but I have to say one thing that did kind of strike me when I first started using this was how much it reminded me of a oneplus phone like the good original oneplus phones good value for money lovely software really exciting brand now oneplus obviously still exists and the co-founder of oneplus Carl Pay is one of the founding members. He’s like the key family member of nothing so there’s a certainly crossover there and perhaps that’s where the magic. From oneplus maybe it’s gone over to nothing we’ll have to see this isn’t a full review and there’s gonna be questions over long-term support just how good these cameras are versus some of the competition and what do they do next? Do they stick with the follower phones do they give us a flagship lots of questions, but it’s all very exciting okay enough waffling let’s talk about some specs and up front we have this good size 6. 55 inch 120 Hertz HDr 10 plus Oled display it’s not using an Ltpo panel, but it will smartly switch between 60 and 120 Hertz based on what you’re doing inside we have the slightly aging, although they’ll call it reliable Snapdragon 778g plus and actually nothing tell me they’ve worked with Qualcomm so.
This Is A Custom Version Which Now
allows for wireless charging and wireless reverse charging, which is very nice to see so the 778g plus and that’s alongside either 8 or 12 gigs of ram and either 128 or 256 gigs of storage and then powering everything. We have a 4500 million power battery and also support for 33 watt fast charging. Now we’ll come back to these cameras in a second but one thing that struck me is for an affordable phone. It’s missing some of the features that I know people do want like there is no micro sd expandability. There is no headphone jack, but then on the flip side.

We Have 120 Hertz, Which Is Not
guaranteed at this price point although more and more common. These days also an excellent haptic vibrator motor. The feedback on this is really really good and actually together with the sound and the lighting effects. It feels properly good when it’s all going off. We also get stereo speakers, which sound pretty good, really nice thin and symmetrical bezels and I think overall the build and the design make it look and feel more expensive than it is.
Although It Is Lacking As I Say
some of those more common budget features now I know a lot of people were a bit disappointed to see the 778g plus chip instead of say the new snapdragon 7 Gen 1, but it all comes down to money nothing wanted to hit a certain price point with this and for them. This good old reliable chip was the best option and you know fair enough they know it doesn’t overheat there’s solid performance. It will run everything you need and it should help give us some decent battery life. Although that’s something I’ll be testing properly in my full review now what’s the one area of a phone that you can really tell the difference between a budget phone and a flagship I think we can all agree. It’s probably the camera that’s where you can often see the biggest difference.
Were Getting A 50 Megapixel Main
and a 50 megapixel ultra wide and then using the Sony ImX 766 and the Samsung J1N sensors respectively, which is nothing that exciting. The ImX 766 is the same sensor used in say. The oneplus Nord 2 so definitely a mid–range kind of sensor but here’s a few shots. I’ve taken with the nothing phone over the last few days. Let me know what you think below and as I say we’ll have a proper test of this.
In My Upcoming Full Review.
I’ll tell you what making a video with covert is not fun definitely give your screens a wash. After this so you don’t get it through the camera okay a few final thoughts I can’t wait to see what the ecosystem and the software will become nothing have teased a few features that will be coming very soon. That were in beta that I can’t wait to try out so in terms of software and support. I’m pretty excited to see what they can come up with.
Secondly.
I think it’s a really good price 3. 99 sadly this won’t be coming out. us or not yet at least although I know nothing do have ambitions to launch in the Us, but with carriers and networks, It’s a little bit tricky and thirdly as unique as this looks it’s still a phone it doesn’t do anything drastically different than any other phone. There’s a lot of hype and we have to be careful with hype and I don’t know also at this stage if it’s going to be a better bet over the galaxy A53 or the pixel 6a and while I haven’t compared them yet my money will be on the pixel 6a to give you a much better camera experience but so far.
This Is One Of The Most
exciting new phones and new companies. I’ve seen for a while but what do you reckon have you placed a pre-order for this are you excited to get one or not really. Yet let me know in the comments below thank you so much for watching guys and I’ll see you next time right here on the tech chat and hopefully I’ll be a lot less sweaty as well. I’m gonna go and cry that was hard.
