Nothing Phone (1) has a bunch of problems: dead pixels, foggy cameras and green screens
This week, the world finally saw the Nothing Phone (1) smartphone, and the first buyers have already received it in their hands. And, as it turned out, many of them were disappointed, because the novelty had a lot of problems.
Users complain about the greenish and pink backlighting of the OLED display. And this problem was also on new devices. It is known that at least one user changed the smartphone under warranty, but the problem remained on the second one. This is most noticeable on a dark background.
Another owner reported “broken” pixels around the front camera. Also reported about the “broken” pixels around the front camera embedded in the display.
Finally, there is a problem with the main camera fogging from the inside. The smartphone received protection against water according to the IP53 standard, but one of the users showed a photo where the camera was fogged up. It is not clear whether this is a design problem or an attempt to pass off the intentional immersion of the smartphone in water as a marriage.
The presentation of the smartphone took place a few days ago.

Even in a gaming smartphone, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 cannot catch up with the Apple A17 Pro. Tests of the new Qualcomm platform have appeared
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform is expected to be presented in a month, and more and more test results for this SoC are appearing on the Internet. The new one is interesting because the platform was tested inside the new generation gaming smartphone Asus ROG Phone.
In Geekbench 6, the device scored 2213 and 7084 points in single-threaded and multi-threaded modes, respectively. This is significantly more than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 shows, but the new SoC Apple A17 Pro is still ahead with a score of about 2900 and 7200 points.
Moreover, if you cool the iPhone 15 Pro Max with an external fan, the result will be even higher: about 3000 and 7800 points. However, this only shows that the new iPhones do not have high-quality cooling, and in reality no one will carry an iPhone fan with them anyway.
Let us remember that Geekbench in this form is a benchmark of the processor part only. As for the GPU, yesterday we saw how the A17 Pro was significantly inferior to even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in one of the tests.
