Nothing Phone (1) Takes OnePlus One Route, Said to Go on Sale Via Invite System Initially

Nothing Phone (1) launch event will be hosted on July 12. The company has confirmed several key features and details about its first smartphone. The design of the Phone (1) sets it apart from most of the smartphones on the market. Other than the design, the phone is also confirmed to feature a Snapdragon processor. A Geekbench listing revealed that this processor is the Snapdragon 778G+ SoC. 

While the company is creating a lot of buzz online regarding the features, buying the Phone (1) might not be as easy. Nothing will go the OnePlus-way and make its device available for purchase via an invite system. 

The company confirmed the details via a new teaser uploaded on its YouTube channel and other social media accounts. In the video, at 13.20 minutes, Nothing confirmed that its smartphone will be available for purchase via an invite-only system. It wants its community members – the ones who have been with the company since the beginning – to get their hands on the device first.

Carl Pei’s former company OnePlus had a similar approach at the very beginning where it sold the OnePlus One through an invite-only system. Those with an invite could not only purchase the device but also share a couple of more invites with their friends and family.

The invite-only system also helps a company (In this case, Nothing) to ensure it does not accumulate stock by manufacturing more units than required. The method of availability will also help maintain the buzz for a slightly longer time.

Once the company manages to ramp up the production, the device will be available for purchase for more and more people.
