Nokia G60 5G vs Nothing Phone (1): Design, Display, Hardware and Camera
design
The Nokia G60 5G is similar to other affordable options in terms of performance. With a large screen and a dewdrop notch, it also has a classy-looking back. The demand for sustainable products is increasing, so HMD Global used recycled plastic to make the G60 5G. At the back, the triple camera arrangement is vertically aligned and the bottom part houses a large Nokia logo. The back is made entirely of recycled plastic and has an attractive shiny look especially in the black color variant. The phone has all the usual ports, a fingerprint sensor placed on the side, Gorilla Glass 5 protection on the front and an IP52-rated shell.
As modest as the Nokia G60 is, the Nothing Phone (1) is just as loud. It looks like an iPhone at first glance. It has flat glass on the front with flat aluminum sides just like the iPhone. The real magic lies in the back. The Nothing Phone (1) has a transparent glass back with the phone’s internals on display. Nothing betters the design than the inclusion of LED strips that cover all the key components including the cameras, wireless charging coil and the bottom. It is definitely a more unique looking phone compared to the Nokia G60.

Another area where there are noticeable differences between the two phones is the display. The Nokia G60 5G features a 6.58-inch full HD+ LCD screen with thick bezels on all sides, a dewdrop notch and a 120Hz refresh rate. Considering the price of the phone, the display looks a bit dated.
In contrast, Nothing Phone (1) (Review) comes with the same size 6.55-inch Full HD+ OLED panel with support for 120Hz refresh rate. The panel has symmetrical bezels and is certified for HDR10+, so every effort has been made to prevent cutting corners.
