Nothing Phone (1) launch date has been officially revealed by the company. This comes after weeks of teasing on the brand’s social media handle. The launch event will be held on July 12th at 8:30 PM local time. The official tweet reads, Unlearn. Undo. Starting with the phone (1) and it has already been confirmed the phone will arrive with a transparent design of sorts. A recent leak has given away the specifications of the phone, hinting us on what to expect. It is said to arrive with wireless charging, Snapdragon chipset and near-stock Nothing OS custom UI.
Separately, as we wait for the announcement, tipster Yogesh Brar claims that Nothing Phone (1) would be produced locally, probably in a move to reduce the price of the phone at launch.
Nothing Phone (1) will be produced in India
Nothing Phone (1) will launch on July 12th and it is the brand’s first phone. Furthermore, the tipster claims that the Phone (1)’s production is expected to start very soon in the country. However, it isn’t clear where exactly the Phone (1) production will take place or which contract manufacturer is producing the phone for the brand. Since the manufacturing is expected to start soon, we can expect the launch to be around the corner, probably in a month’s time. The brand has confirmed the phone will have a transparent back and be sold via Flipkart online.
Nothing phone 1 is said to be produced locally and that ideally should control the costs.
