Camera set, OnePlus and Meizu footprints: Nothing Phone (1) secrets from software

At the moment when there are only a few hours left before the premiere of Nothing Phone (1), the firmware has leaked to the Web

revealed a lot of interesting details about the device, which almost certainly would have remained secret even after the announcement.An enthusiast who studied it@Za_Raczke reported that the device hadcodenamed Spacewar and is based on Android 12 with the NothingOS shell (1).Given the underlying Snapdragon 778G , the device will be compatible with Android 14 and versions before it, which meansAt least two years of software support can be expected.

Now for the cameras:the main unit includes a pair of 50-megapixel sensors: IMX766 as the main one and Samsung JN1 as the width (judging by the mention of the macro mode, it can have autofocus). The front camera is implemented on a 16-megapixel Sony IMX471 sensor, which has been widely used in BBK smartphones (OPPO, Realme, OnePlus) since OnePlus 7. The AMOLED display (model rm692e5) was manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer Visionox. It supports 120Hz and HDR10+ content display.



Camera Interface

    The firmware also includes a game mode, insidewhich found many references to Chinese applications, and even in the code there were mentions of mBack, a gesture function from Meizu. The camera application takes up as much as 400 MB of memory and resembles a customized third-party application, inside which there were many configs for other Chinese brands. Having managed to launch the camera app itself, the enthusiast took several screenshots of its interface, noting its similarity with OnePlus and Xiaomi. The firmware includes a demo mode app for the showcase and even an embedded video, which also contained many traces of the OnePlus 7T.



    Mass mentions of OnePlus

    The smartphone itself is assembled and probably partiallyprogrammed at the factory of the Chinese ODM manufacturer BYD Electronic. In other words, the software of the smartphone is definitely not completely unique and, as you can see from the text above, it largely uses the achievements of other brands. We will find out how it will turn out in practice only after receiving the device in our hands, but for now we are waiting for the evening presentation, which starts at 18:00 (Moscow time).
