Key strengths
The 50 MP periscope camera gives 3x optical zoom (70 mm) with optical stabilisation and autofocus, and the 50 MP main camera is stabilised too.
50 W wired charging reaches 50% in 19 minutes and a full charge in 56 minutes, according to Nothing.
Glyph Interface lights on the back signal notifications with customisable light and sound patterns, so the phone can stay screen-down.
Nothing promises 3 years of Android updates and 6 years of security patches, counted from when the phone first went on sale.
Before you buy
The 8 MP ultra-wide camera, with a small 1/4-inch sensor, is a clear step down from the 50 MP main camera.
Water and dust protection is rated IP64, and no charger comes in the box (only a USB-C cable).
At 211 g and 77.5 mm wide it is a large phone for one-handed use.
Wireless charging is not listed in the specifications, which give only 50 W wired and 7.5 W reverse wired charging.
