Lowest ever price for the Nothing (1)

Dual camera, lush lighting
Each of its dual cameras has a 50MP sensor, for brilliant realism, while Night Mode and image stabilisation ensure crisp detail in any light setting. Shoot crystal-clear 4K HDR Video at 60fps for exceptionally smooth, clear movies. It even includes its own studio lighting. Set the Glyph interface to full brightness for a portable, gentle ring-light, rather than the harshness of a flash.

Beautiful display
OLED display. HDR10+. A billion colours. The screen on the Nothing Phone delivers true-to-life colour and deep, real-world contrast. And an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate means super-responsive interaction, visuals, graphics, and gameplay.

High performance battery
Get up to 16 hours of power from every charge, get 50% of power from just 30 minutes of charging. And it’s compatible with Qi-certified wireless chargers too (available separately).

5G capability
The Nothing Phone’s future-proofed 5G modem will enable you to still use 4G, however depending on your network provider, you'll experience incredible speeds and better quality streaming video, along with more reliable network connections when you're in crowded places - especially during peak times.

No quibble returns
Get time to check out your new phone, with no risk. If it's not the right one for you, return it to us within 21 days of delivery and we'll refund you, easy as pie. How to return a giffgaff phone

Also, 30 days faulty returns
Sometimes things go wrong. If your phone has a fault not relating to physical damage, we'll gladly accept it back for a full refund or a swanky replacement of the same model. How to return a faulty phone

    Anyone that buys this junk phone literally knows nothing.
    damianscotland's avatar
    Is it really that bad? Did you have one?
  2. Roph's avatar
    Be warned, basic features like the SD slot and headphone jack are both missing.

    Instantly disqualifies this for me
    Popmonts's avatar
    This is 2023 not 2015 you could post that comment on any phone deal on here bar one.

    Heat... Decent one with no spying... Hopefully 🍀
    kobrakaan1's avatar
    lol because no other providers nor Google or even Apple spy on their customers usage? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️
  4. little_green's avatar
    Really didn't need a 6th phone but bought (send help!)
    Crossbow's avatar
    surely time to get rid of at least the oldest one now!? It's a good thing you never told me before you went for it!
  5. BettySwallocks's avatar
    Had mine for a few months now, it's excellent and at these prices hard to compete with.
  6. M_J_J's avatar
    I've been using the 256GB one since launch and have had no issues and feel no real need to upgrade. The camera is the only thing from my view as it is not as good as say the pixels.
    Major plus is that with the semi sharp edges and material, it is quite stable to hold without a case
  7. highdon's avatar
    The phone finally makes sense at this price. It was overhyped and overpriced at launch.
  8. RadiantDuck's avatar
    I've had one of these for a few months and while it has its flaws, it isn't a bad phone at all
    superspod's avatar
    What are some of the flaws? Currently still on my trusty Huawei P30 but thinking about this deal. Thanks.
  9. sane4sure's avatar
    Class phone.

    Bought one, sold it, regretted sale so bought this deal!
  10. Grimsargh's avatar
    I waiting for the nothing phone 2 , I really hope they succeed. I think they want to offer something slightly different .
    zuggy's avatar
    Me too. Should be out by July hopefully.
  11. Andrew_Vincent640's avatar
    Umm it's either this or the 12 lite which would you choose. There's an 80 quid difference between them
    Chz's avatar
    There's very little between them, so I'd get the 12 Lite and save £80.
  12. innocent's avatar
    Decent prices here for wanting to try Nothing phone with plenty of ram and rom and much else 🔥
  13. Joshfount's avatar
    Excellent prices here for the Nothing range of phones! Well received and reviewed phones now running Android 13 🔥
  14. little_green's avatar
    Is it new?
    Also why no white option the 128gb was hoping to keep the price sub 300
  15. damianscotland's avatar
    Does it make sense to move from OP 8T to this phone? I know spec-wise the 8T is better, but I'm just fed up with OnePlus.
    Oli6357's avatar
    If you're fed up with OnePlus software then this would be an improvement but you'd be downgrading in many other aspects so it's a difficult one. Pixel 6/7 may be a better choice if you'd consider that.

    Sent mine back after a week a few weeks back, new one arriving anytime, (edited this)

    ''I never meant a new one coming to me, I meant Nothing Phone 2 coming soon etc ''

    great phone apart from the dust all getting under the back glass

    Fixed on Nothing Phone 2 I hope (edited)
    damianscotland's avatar
    Is it really bad with a dust under the glass? Even if I'll use the case? Thanks (edited)
  17. Tyronnster's avatar
    I'm tempted by one. still using my trusty Xiaomi p3
  18. danharvey's avatar
    Bought 8+128gb in black.

    £50 TCB tracking as well which makes it £239 if it pays out.

    Bargain

    when can we cancel the sim deal, do we have to warn them a month before
  19. DJ.Mole's avatar
    I dont see anything
  20. bargainhunter1's avatar
    What a brand name ! (edited)
    Sjsjzwzebxxbn_Uajqzszdbx's avatar
    They thought long about it in the marketing dept
  21. shutupman's avatar
    Decent phone for this price. If you want headphone jack and SD card HTC Desire 22 is around this price too.
  22. y_knot_me's avatar
    Are these dual sim?
    damianscotland's avatar
    Yes they are
  23. seekthevalue's avatar
    new or refurbished?
    damianscotland's avatar
    New
  24. Joe_Biden's avatar
    Nothing phone! they couldn't find a better name for a phone ?

    Better than calling it the poop phone
  25. BucketMan's avatar
    Is the build an imitation iphone as in the size and shape? Do the hard edges feel okay? Is it a monster to carry about? Do people shroud these in a condom case?
  26. ASBAWC2's avatar
    Torn between this or the mi 12 lite from O2 at £199
    damianscotland's avatar
    This of course :P (edited)
  27. kinderkid's avatar
    I have had my OnePlus 6 since launch and it's showing some age plus a cracked screen. Would you go with this ore the OnePlus 10t deal that has also been posted
    realdeals's avatar
    It all depends on price but the 10T is certainly the best of the three
  28. kinderkid's avatar
    128gb 8gb ram model now sold out
    kinderkid's avatar
    some back in stock now
  29. little_green's avatar
    Can anyone recommend a good clear case & screen protector please
  30. y_knot_me's avatar
    How would this compare to a Samsung S20 FE. Would this take better pictures?
    BucketMan's avatar
    It's a good question. I'm still in love with the camera in the S7. Samsung's premium phones, usually have good cameras. Not sure if the FE is crippled in any way.
  31. mohammed_saqibgdq's avatar
    This phone is even thicker than iPhone 12 pro max. How it is holding it with or without the case?
    gadgetboy1980's avatar
    I have a clear case on mine but prefer the feel of it without one. I leave the case on when out and about and take off when I'm home. Feels great in the hands but is a bit slippery, hence why my case stays on outside the house.
  32. deekarma's avatar
    Like the phone a lot - thanks OP. Giffgaff in the other hand is disappointing. The SIM activation process is confusing. Before activating, you must make sure that you are logged into the random username provided when you purchase the phone, otherwise it won't connect the £10 pre-paid credit. The SIM pack doesn't make that clear. (edited)
