The Nothing Phone (1) looks set to launch on July 21 for around € 500 (about $ 675 CAD) if recent leaks are accurate.
This is in line with the “summer release date” stated by Pei. The price has not yet been confirmed, but it would not be surprising for Pei to try the same flagship killer strategy that he pioneered on OnePlus and used for his company’s Nothing Ear (1).
I want to be transparent with my followers (and with everything we design). We’ve broken a transparent design with the ear (1) and now it’s time (2) to do it again. pic.twitter.com/APQW3XNHvu

In an interview with Wallpaper magazine, Pei and Nothing’s chief design officer mentioned that the phone will have a clear back similar to the outbreaks of Nothing Ear (1) and that the wireless charging circle inside the phone it will be an important focal point of design.
We also know that the device will be made of recycled aluminum (probably the edges) and will run stock Android software called Nothing OS, which is now available for demonstration.
It’s exciting to see a new phone maker try to enter the space, but nothing needs to reveal a really attractive phone if it is to compete with Google, Apple and Samsung.
