Nothing, the London-based tech company, has a special edition of Phone (2a), and it presents a striking hardware design that’s representation of the “inside out” philosophy that has characterised the brand from day one.
This is the first time Nothing is using red, blue and yellow on the same device, which is priced at Rs 27,999. The third phone from Carl Pei’s company remains true to its core philosophy of keeping technology in the background while devices connect people. The transparent design returns and so does the Glyph Interface that allows you to have a fair idea about notifications through a clever usage of lights.
The phone itself is quite big. It has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, which also means there is enough space for a big battery. And it’s a bright 120Hz (adaptive refresh rate) panel that hits 1,300 nits of peak brightness. You get HDR10+ certification, 240Hz touch sampling rate and all that razzmatazz. Some phone brands are trying to show off crazy numbers in terms of screen brightness but those don’t matter. Before I forget, there is 2,160Hz PWM dimming.
The display segues into battery life. It’s a massive 5,000mAh battery that supports 45W fast-charging. The software is extremely well tuned to keep the phone running for a couple of days and the MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chipset helps.
