Nothing Phone (1) gets a price hike in India, here’s how much it costs now

Nothing Phone (1) made its global debut last month and since its launch, the smartphone has received astounding response during the first two sales in India. The Nothing Phone (1) is the first smartphone from Carl Pei’s UK-based tech firm and the device has been a part of the news due to its unique real panel with 900 LEDs which the company calls the Glyph Interface. Now, the smartphone has made it to the new again and this time due to its pricing. Nothing Phone (1) is offered in three RAM and storage configurations 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB and 12GB/256GB, and at the times of the launch, the variants were priced at Rs 32,999, Rs 35,999, and Rs 38,999 respectively. But as per latest update by Nothing India, Vice President, Manu Sharma, the company is increasing the price of the smartphone by Rs 1,000.

After the price hike, the Nothing Phone (1) will be offered on Flipkart for 8GB/128GB (Rs 33,999), 8GB/256GB (Rs 36,999), and 12GB/256GB (Rs 39,999). As per Sharma, the move from the brand comes due to fluctuating currency exchange rates and rising component costs.

Thank you for the love shown towards Phone (1)!

With fluctuating currency exchange rates & rising component costs, we had to change prices.

Starting today, Phone (1) will be available @flipkart for 8GB/128GB (INR 33,999), 8GB/256GB (INR 36,999), and 12GB/256GB (INR 39,999).
