Users have started reporting the Nothing Phone (1) display issues
Let’s take it one report at a time. The first case is with a unit bought in India, from Flipkart. A user purchased a phone, got a defective unit, and sent it back. The other unit he received has the same problem, a green tint, as shown below.

Dead pixels are also showing up for users
Those green tint issues are one thing, but that’s not the only problem. Folks over at Beebom, reported that they started seeing dead pixels near the punch hole. They started seeing this within three hours of using the phone. The issue is shown below.
Any of you facing any similar hardware issues in #Nothingphone1? pic.twitter.com/2jlsfIFaDB — Beebom (@beebomco) July 15, 2022 A similar issue is found on a unit from a Twitter user Shubham Saxena, as he shared an image of his issue on Twitter as well.
— Shubham Saxena (@shubhroxstar) July 15, 2022 Android Authority reports that Nothing Support has acknowledged this issue. We still don’t know if this is hardware-related, or if it’s a software issue. If it ends up being hardware-related, this could be a huge problem for Nothing. That being said, many other devices have had such issues in the past, this is not new. The Galaxy Note 20 and S20 are great examples, while some OnePlus phones were not excluded either. Those are just some examples.
