Nothing Phone 1 design has been detailed through a list of purported marketing images. The upcoming smartphone appears to have a metal frame and a transparent glass back. It also seems to have a hole-punch display design at the front. The Nothing Phone 1 launch is set for July 12. However, ahead of the launch, the UK-based company has released some teasers to give us a glimpse of the smartphone. The company also recently started taking its pre-order pass reservations.

WinFuture.de has leaked the marketing images — commonly called renders — to suggest the design of the Nothing Phone 1 from all sides. The renders suggest that the phone looks similar to the iPhone 12. However, there is a transparent back and a hole-punch display to bring some distinction.

The metal frame of the Nothing Phone 1 has also clearly been seen through the leaked renders. Further, the renders show the phone in Black and White colours.

Last week, Nothing opened the public waitlist for the invite-only pre-orders of the Phone 1. The company also started rolling out invites to its private community to pre-order the phone. The invites will be available over email to eligible customers.

Once the invite is available, customers in India can purchase the pre-order pass through Flipkart at a refundable deposit of Rs. 2,000.

Alongside Flipkart, the Nothing Phone 1 is said to be available in India via Reliance Digital.

Nothing Phone 1 price (expected)

A recent report suggested that the Nothing Phone 1 price would start at $397 (roughly Rs. 31,300) for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. The phone is also said to be available in an 8GB + 256GB model at $419 (roughly Rs. 33,100) and a top-of-the-line 12GB + 256GB model at $456 (roughly Rs. 36,000).

The Nothing Phone 1 would run Nothing OS based on Android 12 and feature a 6.55-inch OLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is also said to have an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ SoC, along with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM. It is reported to come with a dual rear camera setup that would include a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 16-megapixel secondary sensor. The Nothing Phone 1 would also include a 16-megapixel selfie camera sensor at the front.
