Nothing Phone (1) India launch imminent

As seen in the tweet above, Sharma claims that the Nothing Phone (1) is in its final stages of internal testing in India. Furthermore, he says that the batch production of the device has begun in various Eurasian countries, the specifics of which, have not been mentioned in the tweet.

In another tweet, Sharma has posted the BIS listing of a Nothing smartphone (with the model number Nothing A063), which will most likely be the Nothing Phone (1). The BIS listing of the Nothing Phone (1) suggests that the India launch of the Nothing Phone (1) must be nearing.

Sadly enough, the BIS listing fails to tell us anything about the specifications and features of the device. We might have to wait for a little longer in order to receive further information about the Nothing Phone (1). In any case, interested buyers of the Nothing Phone (1) will be able to get their hands on the device this summer via Flipkart in India, as confirmed recently by the brand.
