Nothing Phone (1) Month Later | It's so much better!
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 06. 2024
- Reviewing the Nothing Phone 1 a whole month post-launch, after various camera, battery life and UI updates. The Nothing Phone was a buggy mess at release, but now the experience has been much improved - making it one of the better mid-range smartphones of 2022. That is, if you don't mind the chunky design and don't want the greatest camera handset (the Pixel 6a).
While Google's mobile offers a better overall experience, in a more compact form, the Nothing Phone 1 has a couple of advantages. For one there's that wireless battery charging, a rarity at this £399 UK price point. Also that Snapdragon 778G Plus chipset is a cracker for gaming, so you can blast through Genshin Impact, PubG, CODM and anything else you fancy.
The Nothing Phone 1 sports the same Sony camera sensor as competitors like the OnePlus Nord 2T, and this is good for everyday snaps. Low light is its main nemesis, but it copes well with HDR and the video capture has improved post-update. However, while the Nothing Launcher is a lot less buggy now, you'll still get occasional jank - like the iffy face recognition.
No real complaints on the media front, although the screen auto brightness is still borked. The Nothing Phone 1's audio and visual chops are as good as many rivals.
That's my one month review of this unique and respectable mid-range smartphone. Check out my comparison vs the Pixel 6a and Samsung A53 5G for more, and let us know your own impressions below!

Hello! Thanks for watching my Nothing Phone 1 review, and the usual reminder not to telegram any of those spam bots using my face to try and empty your savings, it's all a load of womblejuice. Cheers!
Thanks you Tech sport for short lists me
Can you do a unboxing of the Samsung Galaxy f62 🥺
@@fan8605 plz
That phone is horrendous
Are you in Mexico?
Dude loves his anime wallpapers.
one of the best thing about this channel
he's the man of culture alright
it's why I subbed
He loves anime I think
Where can i find those kind of wallpaper?
Nothing has a very underrated front. The symmetry of bezels is just umuahh
Very true, it's the main reason why i probably won't buy the Zenfone 9. It's not symmetrical enough. Or am I too much of a nitpicker now?
@@jerdro7222 nah im with you. They have no excuse not making a symmetrical bezel in 2022 especially with the price point. If nothing can do it for cheap, they all can.
Really reminds me of my old essential phone formfactor wise.
@@RafLurv The reason these phones have a bezel at the bottom is because the OLED has to be flexible in order to get rid of it, which is more expensive. I agree though - at this price point it shouldn't be there.
@@haztec. I rather have thicker side bezels than the bottom bezel just looking different.
Love your videos! Nice to see the phone has been updated over the last few weeks. Definitely one on my radar for when I need a new phone.
Bought one after using a OnePlus 6t for the last 4ish years. It's such a step up, it's crazy. The only downside was how hard it was getting a case, I had to use an iPhone case as a stand in until Amazon actually had one in stock lol
LoL that's kinda funny
welp at that point like everything would be a massive step up not because oneplus but because its old
@@Manu-xb4rlAnything would have been a massive step up
I still use OnePlus 6T. Do you really think it's a solid upgrade over it? What do you most like it over the 6T? And in what ways was 6T better?
@@habibhassan7770 it's a very solid upgrade. The only way the 6t is better is how well it fits in your hand. The nothing phone is big.
had my nothing phone for a week now and loving it, for a midrange phone its excellent and the silly glyth at least makes it standout from the crowd of same looking phones out there. looking forward to seeing what other features they will add in the coming months, I think a small company like this can be more imaginative with what can be achieved
Hi, i have the oppo Reno4 Z and looking for a new phone, do you think it'll be a upgrade or downgrade?
I've been waiting for a CZcamsr to do this. Thanks man
Bashing NFTs was a good addition to the video 😀
Best month phone review i ever see! I also had Nothing Phone 1 and so far, its a pleasant and smooth experiences for me. Camera experiences, gaming and daily stuffs that i do, its still smooth so far. I agree about the face recognitions that sometimes not working like how it supposed to. Tbh, I hope for more updates about this phones. I have good expectations for Nothing to be much better in the future!
let's hope Oppo is not coming around Carl Pei
"it is slipperier than an oiled up otter"
I love you comparisons! 😂
Can't wait to see what they will do with the Phone 2.
what do you think now
I love the clear back and UI font on this.
One of the most funny reviews I have ever seen! I loved it. Keep it up!
I salute you for your wallpaper choices.
Heyyyooo spurt….well I’m a nothing phone user too and I would recommend trying google camera to get pixel like photos and the low light performance with gcam is insannneee…definitely worth trying out mate!
this dude is hilarious while also giving a solid and useful review
Nice pics of Tynemouth, my part of the world too!
Love the review. Im waiting for the second gen nothing phone. 1st gen a bit experimental. Get the camera sorted, more customisation with the lights and this could be my next purchase.
No micro SD support is always such a deal breaker for me, really fancied getting this as well
Comes out with the craziest comparisons 😂 legend
Great video, just ordered mine :)
You always make your videos interesting and always entertaining, even though I am an S22 ultra owner.
Good one, I use it as my main 256 GB version, and backup a Samsung Zfold 3 for more screen :) I paid 250 online for a brand new Nothing phone is just mind-blowing for that money.
had the phone for a couple of weeks now and really like it, its really smooth in operation compared to my previous phone (red magic 6r) love it.i have the black version.
every phone seems less buggy after Red Magic 6R 😪
Nice, the black looks really good, think I prefer the glowing Glyphs on that one
Agreed I've pre ordered a white one as the 12gb black version is out of stock on Amazon but am definitely looking forward to it arriving at the weekend all being well
@@albrown67 i think you're owning lots of money though you can waste your precious money on 12gb ram😟. 8gb is enough for better performance and even in long usage 8gb is sufficient.
mine was 8gb/128gb
Love after world domination wallpapers, aprooved my man
I own a Nothing Phone (black version 8/256) and I must say that, with all the updates that came out so far, the performance of the phone has improved a lot. I'm quite happy with mine :) Battery life is exceeding 24h :D I've upgraded from a OP6 so.. I'm quite happy with Nothing Phone performance. Still waiting for covers to come out.. (I've ordered the black version but it sold out) this little bastard can get quite slippery though. Careful when you leave it even on flat surfaces.
Picked up a cover from Ebay Artur this past week
Do you notice stutter in the animation when opening and minimizing apps? For example if you open Chrome from the launcher? Lots of stutter with mine, also the notification bar stutters sometimes. The scrolling is however super smooth, unlike other flagship phones.
@@celticdode5770 Yup, plenty on Amazon too but I've ordered the official one already. Just waiting for it to get back in stock ;)
@@9936381282 The official one, from Nothing.
@@pf296 Haven't noticed anything strange so far. No stuttering. And I've set the screen to 60hz instead of the 120hz.
What watch are you wearing? Great episode :) cheers
if only the make a mini version of this it would be amazing
I want to get my wife this on our anniversary next month but after hearing it's huge i m now confused what should I do now . Danmit.😭
@@lordwiz6653 it's about the same size as iphone 13 pro max. If ur wife used to that size then it should be fine.
But wait isn't it like 1 inch smaller than most flagships tho?
They aren't making one
Size is good. I don't want to many model like Chinese Brands. One model, two colors a year are great
Currently got a Moto g 5G plus with a failing battery, I think this is a solid contender for the replacement. I'm a little sad that they removed the headphone jack though.
Thanks for that review. The best review of that phone that I saw. Liebe Grüße🙋♀
Great reviews. Btw where do you get anime wallpaper from
Desumi san! This is a man of culture. I have subscribed.
I also noticed the improvements for the cameras
Great review i have a question, what do you think about the device name ?
I always love your wallpapers, Man of Culture indeed..
I've been using the nothing phone for a week now and I must say I was nodding to myself (like that stupid Churchill dog advert) all the way through. Bang on uncle spurt! Another minor grip is how low the bloody fingerprint scanner is, but overall a pretty pleasant experience.
Hi...can you do a versus with the zenfone 9? Expecially a camera comparison....
I was thinking of buying this, but have major doubts. Thanks for the video. 👍
Don't go for it
In india the after sales service is terrible
They haven't even made service centers anywhere
I've bought the Nothing Phone 1 on pre sale and i gotta say that it must be the phone of the year.
I had nothing to complain since day one. Updates have indeed fixed some little things here and there but I haven't had nothing bad in particular.
The most surprising thing for me has been the battery that has confidently lasted a day and a half.
I see a lot of people complaining that the Snapdragon 778G Plus is a down side and that the Phone1 should've had the 888. I strongly desagree and I even eye roll everytime I see that comment because it's not the point of the phone at all.
Camera has been 99% perfect for me. The only downside is the macro, where the photos don't have a lot of detail and i found that if you take a photo in regular mode with the 2x option, the results are way better. The camera has honestly been so good that since i've had the phone I've never used the manual/pro mode.
The Glyph has been a conversation starter, no doubt about it. I've seen a lot of reviews saying that is "useless" because it makes you turn the phone face down which isn't a "natural position". It's just a lie. It's honestly very natural and intuitive to do.
Again, I say it with all confidence that this phone it must be the phone of the year. However I already know that all the review channels will make the iRepetitive 14 Pro Mega Ultra Max Mini or the Samesong Galaxy Universe S23 Plus Ultra, phone of the year.
Haha, you're not wrong, it's always Apple and Samsung filling those best phone lists. MId range tends to be ignored which is a massive shame given the quality you get these days. Glad you're liking it and also agree on the chipset, the SD778G Plus handles everything absolutely fine
Mr. Pei, is that you?
Phone of the year is a nutty take. It's a midranger with a major gimmick. I'm sure it's a fine device but slow it down a touch,
My friend bought it, and i checked it out. It's an okay phone. But nothing like Poco F1 was back in 2018. Aka not a disruptor.
And missing charger? That's an absolute crime. Apple copycat.
I just go oneplus 10 pro. Better camera and speed. But this phone was so tempting
How is the audio from speakers?
@@christoffero89 the audio is great for a mid-range.
Also, you're comparing a 10 Pro with a SD 8 gen 1 vs the Phone1 that has a 778G+
I just have one question, where do you get those cool anime wallpapers i want it too
Pretty cool phone. Hoping for a better Phone 2 next!
Using the phone 1 for half a month, very impressed by it's performance. My only issue with the phone is that it's effing hugeeeeee..... I wish it was around 6.1 inches. Very difficult to use it one handed. I love compact phones, but pixel 6a was way overpriced for my budget and the specs didn't make the cut either as per my needs :(
You'll have to wait for the Nothing Less Phone(1). It'll be the compact version
i want it 6.7-6.8..hope they release option size next year
You can use it with your legs then.
@@kumarsajal8400 🤣
Isn't it 6.27 inches? That smaller than most phones tho
Honestly looks like a fantastic phone. Never needed bleeding edge cameras as my girlfriend takes all the photos. Rarely ever play games on my phone so don't need the highest-end processor to scroll through social media, watch CZcams, and make calls. But like something that's simple, updated for the long term, but isn't just another slab in this world of boring phones. Just wish we could get this in the USA.
I bought a phone 1 12gb 256gb for 250 recently and at thay price its a stunning device. Battery could definitely be better and the ui could be more customizable but overall its a very nice blower.
I must say... I am new to the channel as I am looking for a mid-range phone with very good camera capability (especially low light or night mode capability) and the way you do your reviews is nothing short of MAGIC. You give it to us straight with a splash of comedy and I am loving it. It is sooo refreshing and enjoyable to watch. I am still on the fence on what to get among Nothing Phone, Oppo Reno8 Pro and Motorola Edge 30. Totally fearing I will choose a s*** phone that is slower than a turtle on steroids (pardon me french).
i'm on the same fence, but im leaning more towards nothing phone rn because of all the updates it got and the camera.
Maybe go for S21 FE or Pixel 6a
Where do you get your wallpapers..they r so cool...:))
The wording that you use is gooold!!!!
I tested it,my brother has it and it's performance is pretty good ,I hope nothing makes small phones later ,I'm small phone lover ,so if they make something like the 4s same thickness and all zise screen!,would be perfect,I guess, salute my friend .
Anywhere in the UK where you can see it in person?
what would be the best charger for this phone ? I think its very disappointing that they wont include the charger , and after market charget now days costs lots of money which completely obliterate the meaning of mid range smart phone in terms of price
Brilliant phone came from the iPhone x battery was shocking on it got this im getting 7 hours a day no case yet dropped it out my window and ran downstairs still playing my video and not broken amazing phone
I wish this phone came to the US because it looks so good for its price.
im using face recognition its works like a charm even with a mask on.... trust me... im very much satisfied with this!
I’m pretty sure face recognition works because of ur eyes
from where do you get your wallpapers?
istg Tech Spurts' wallpapers have always been anime I've watched or planning on watching. If you have a myanimelist dude, link it down!
received mine today, works like a charm for me personally.
How is the gaming performance with the midrange soc?
Camera any good???
I am still considering getting one but I will hold off for the 2nd version if there is one coming
Happy birthday (?) Uncle Spurt.
Ah so it was you I wandered past in Tynemouth a week or so ago. I had a "That looks like the CZcams bloke" moment 😂
recomded your wallpaper app?
I keep coming back for your humour 👌🏻
Does the glyph works like a normal led notification light that keeps on blinking when you dont check the phone asap?
I agree it's much better I got a nothing phone and my nothing ear ones and it's an amazing phone and earbud pairing
Please make a comparison with Samsung FE S20. Its also available in similar price now
please... where do you get the wallpapers from?
Worth buying this and paying import fees or waiting for the Pixel 7?
I got mine delivered ten days ago. I had pre-ordered. So I waited a long time.
Unfortunately, the display has the widespread problem of green discolouration. It also has bright spots, so the panel is damaged.
I have been waiting for a week for feedback from support. So far no reaction at all. Not even an answer, except the confirmation of the receipt of the ticket.
I had bought a second one from Amazon. Same problem.
The device is great, but has major quality defects.
I can only strongly advise against buying the device from the manufacturer, if from Amazon, as the support there is at least accessible.
I have now bought a Samsung S21 FE as the price has fallen sharply. Unfortunately, Nothing has lost me for the time being.
EDIT: Yes, a certain amount of green tint is normal with (AM-)OLED displays. I can also detect it on my iPhone 13 if I look very closely. But I'm talking about a level that is visible even at half brightness and on a bright background in videos and photos. The degree varies and is less present on some nothing phones. With Nothing, you play the panel lottery. Which would not be a problem if the support would get in touch in a timely manner.
S21 fe price
I'm not sure why you bought nothing 🤣🤣🤣
What's the price of fe 21 after price cut?
That's bad luck mate. Hope your S21 FE is all good.
@@theloneranger6531 in Germany it currently is € 495.00 on amazon.
HOPE U CAN GIVE A REVIEW ON MI BAND 7 PRO.THANK YOU.😊
Happy birthday 🥳
I've got an S22 Ultra but I wanna cut down on my monthly budget and still get something good, it's either this or the xiaomi 12 t pro, any thoughts?
This kind of design is something that I can say that I am holding a phone. Currently using Reno 6 5G and I hope all companies will copy this boxy-iphonish design because it feels right.
Were they photos of Tynemouth by any chance?
Is this phone worth changing from one plus 7t pro ?
What wallpaper you use sir?
I heard that the scrolling on google especially was a bit buggy, is stat true?
10:45 Is that what they consider in the UK good weather?
The return of the transparent neon phones of the 80's. (you could drop those & *_nothing_* would break tho 🤔)
Man, your sense of humour is some other level!
Am gutted Amazon cancelled my order for the 12gb 256 storage in white, due to lack of availability what do you think of the performance of the 8gb version with the same storage? Was your test phone the 8 or 12gb version? Was just wondering if that one is worth a go instead?
Personally I'd wait until the 12GB model is available again, it'll probably last you longer
My man is cultured. Sometimes just watch the videos to look at his wallpapers.
ASUS Zenfone 9 vs Samsung Galaxy S22 video upcoming?
I love the display of this phone.😄🙂
That wind hurt my ear bro
I'm using a OnePlus Nord N20 5G while I save up a bit for the nothing phone. The Nord N20 5G is plastic but it has the flat edge iPhone style design. Great battery life, performance, and display. Free from T-Mobile.
Hi tech spurt , which is your current favourite smartphone
Has Essential PH-1 vibes…. I loved that phone😢
agreed, what essential phone should be
Have to say, even after all those years, PH-1 feels much better to hold in hand than Nothing Phone. Simply can't beat that titanium/ceramic combo.
@@theclicker not many feel better in the hand than the PH-1.
Hope it fares better than that phone.
Can u tell me where u get those cool anime wallpapers
Does anyone know how to enable hide apps and parallel apps in Nothing 1 phone? These options were easy to enable in Oneplus phone.
Not only did the phone improve but so did the background😂
Hi guys, i have a oppo Reno4 Z and i was wondering if the Nothing phone 1 will be an upgrade. I really like it, but don't have to money to spend on a disappointing phone
I've ordered one from Amazon, paid for it on the 23rd of July (12gb 256gb) was supposed to be delivered on the 6th of August. Still waiting? Supply issues I suppose. 🤔
I ordered a white one with the same spec was meant to come today but Amazon cancelled the order due to no availablity at the moment so I am gutted
Does it support native call recording?
I'm getting 7-8 hrs SOT which coming from s22 is amazing s22 4-5 at very best
sad to hear, as I was aiming to s22
me with a already small 3000 mAh battery on a more than 3 years old S9 🥲
@@MrChristocentric it's a good phone apart from the battery and it is laggy with the exynos and a heavy skin on top
Great stuff, yeah the S22's battery was pants again - I'm assuming you had the Exynos version?
@@ttanke same here, I might consider the nothing phone (1)
Why did u keep the reading mode on in your phone? Made the phone look bad IMO!
Nice Yofukashi no Uta wallpapers ahah I really like this manga. I think I'm going to buy the nothing phone. The pixel 6a looks cool and I like the fact that it's compact but the 60hz really bothers me and I don't want to install a custom ROM/Kernel "just" for 90hz.
Yofukashi no Uta? how?
@@friedyakults323 What do you mean how ?
@@cangel8563 i just noticed it Yofukashi no Uta.
Im finding the one that on his thumbnail and I still found "nothing"
... that was the movie 'monsters', just watched it last night :)
I feel like this is going to go down massively in price due to the bad day-1 reviews, and then it'll be a killer deal.
It's been out for a month tho
Please give a link of your wallpapers 🙏
Got nothing phone 12ram 256 and very happy with it
Would you recommend the Nothing 1 over the OPPO Reno 8t?
