A Nothing Phone (1) Lite may be on the way

A new rumor today claims that before a successor, the Nothing Phone (1) will get a "lite" version sibling.

Despite still supporting 33W charging, the "lite" model would ship with a 42W charger in the box, according to the same source. Nothing Phone (1) For...

It turns out that they are not, as you can see in the PBKreviews drop test in the video below. The phone comes with a plastic screen protector out of the box and that was kept in place for the test – it may be what made the difference between cracking from waist height and surviving after being dropped. For better protection of the back you can use the official protective case, which is transparent so that the Glyph...
