The video posted on YouTube by Gaurav Chaudhary aka Technical Guruji – in partnership with Nothing – gives us a first look at the Phone (1) retail box. The video explains how Nothing aiming toward a sustainable future has used recycled material and zero plastic to manufacture the box, and even the ink used for printing text on the box is made of soybean. The box’s slim, sleek, and minimal form factor suggests the rumour mill could be true, and the Nothing Phone (1) could ship without a charger inside the box.
