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

The Nothing Phone (1) made its global debut in the first week of July this year. Even before the official launch, the device was hyped up thanks to the its design and the fact that it was the first device from a tech company that was founded by one of OnePlus’ founders, Carl Pei. 

Since its launch, the smartphone has received a largely positive response, and has been in the news cycle for a number of reasons. The device also sold really well, despite some logistical issues.  

Because the device sold so well, Nothing Company has had to increase the price of the device.

Manu Sharma, the Vice President of Nothing India posted a tweet, saying that the company is increasing the price of the smartphone by Rs 1,000 across all variants.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you for the love shown towards Phone (1)!<br><br>With fluctuating currency exchange rates &amp; rising component costs, we had to change prices. <br><br>Starting today, Phone (1) will be available <a href="https://twitter.com/Flipkart?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@flipkart</a> for 8GB/128GB (INR 33,999), 8GB/256GB (INR 36,999), and 12GB/256GB (INR 39,999).</p>&mdash; Manu Sharma (@buildingnothing) <a href="https://twitter.com/buildingnothing/status/1560152508370423809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 18, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The main reason behind the price hike, as per Sharma’s tweet at least, is the rising input costs and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The Nothing Phone (1) will be now offered on Flipkart for Rs 33,999 if one goes for the 8GB + 128GB variant, Rs 36,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant and Rs 39,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant.

Before this, the Nothing ear (1) TWS earbuds were the only product that the company was offering. The Phone (1) from Nothing is a mid-range android smartphone that claims to deliver something different from the competition.
