Have you recently thought of buying the Nothing Phone 1? I believe you should wait a little longer and thoroughly read the article. From various sources, I've learned about a few issues that are causing awkward problems for users of this phone.

Because Nothing is a new company, it's natural for some issues to arise. However, several users have recently tweeted on Twitter, and their tweets have left me feeling very disappointed with Nothing. This post is about spreading news about the Nothing 1 issues so that you can make an informed purchase decision.

Some Nothing phone 1 issues that recently come out

Nothing phone 1 catches moisture

Nothing 1 is officially IP53 certified, according to the company. However, on 14 July 2022, one user (Nilesh Abhang) tweeted that on the first day of using his new Nothing Phone 1, the phone was moisturized with just a drop of water. It's a terrific Q.C. issue.

But it is true that the customer service team is extremely active and responsive. However, Nilesh Abhang immediately contacted Nothing support and they assured him that the phone would be replaced. He tweeted once more that he had received a new one within a few days and that it is now working properly.

Display green tint issue

Not a single person, but a number of users, have recently tweeted that the display on their newly purchased Nothing 1 has a green tint. It's a serious problem with quality control. This type of issue was previously seen in One Plus phones.

If you recently purchased this phone, you should test the display by activating dark mode. Enable dark mode, increase the brightness, and if you find a green shade on your Nothing phone's screen in a dark environment, contact the support team immediately and demand a replacement. However, this problem does not affect all users.

Not connect to laptop

The owner of Digital Sphere (an awesome Indian Tech Channel) recently tested the Nothing (1) phone. He mentioned in a meetup that the Nothing 1 does not connect to the laptop via USB debugging or wireless. He has tried numerous times and in various ways, but hardly anything has changed.

If you have Nothing 1 and are reading this review, you can test it yourself to see if it connects to your laptop or not. However, it is not a major issue, and I believe that with a few software updates, nothing will fix it anytime soon.

Dead pixels around the selfie camera

Another Q.C issue arose with the owner of an Indian Tech YouTube channel (Beebom). On 15 July, 2022, he tweeted that he received the delivery of Nothing 1 (Indian retail unit) and that after only three hours of use, he noticed dead pixels surrounding the selfie camera.

This problem, however, does not affect all users. However, if your Nothing 1 is in the same unit as Beebom (Indian retail unit), you should check it out as soon as possible and demand a replacement if there are any issues.

Flash module slightly crooked

One further Q.C issue has arisen with the users. On July 20, 2022, Parth Monish Kohli tweeted that his Nothing 1's flash module is slightly crooked. He has also included numerous images that clearly demonstrate the serious manufacturing problem.

Sarthak Arora retweeted (with images) that his Nothing 1's grill had become crooked in response to Parth Monish Kohl's tweet. The image removes manufacturing flaws. But I don't think anything will solve this problem quickly. You can imagine it with their fastest support team.

Wire tape gots misplaced

On July 24, 2022, TECHOOB YouTube channel owner Saaquib Neyazi tweeted that the wire tape on the back panel of his Nothing 1 had become misplaced and appeared odd. Not only that, but the flashlight's placement is incorrect. It's turned slightly upside down.

Note: Tipstar Yogesh Brar retweeted that the majority of the Nothing phone (1) problems are occurring in Indian units. So, exercise caution if your phone is from the same unit.

Today’s Last Words

You should be aware that the quality control issues with the Nothing Phone 1 vary from unit to unit. However, the issues do not affect all users, and Nothing is working hard to resolve all issues as soon as possible. Their customer service team is extremely responsive and caring. If you want to buy this phone right now, I think you should wait until the Nothing team resolves all of these Q.C issues.
