The Nothing Phone (1) has an aluminum frame sandwiched between two sheets of Gorilla Glass 5. Does this mean the front and back are equally drop resistant? It turns out they are not, as you can see in the PBK Reviews drop test in the video below.
The phone comes with a ready-to-use plastic screen protector that was held in place for testing – it could be what made the difference between cracking from waist height and surviving after falling.
For better back protection you can use the official protective case, which is transparent so the Glyph lights can still do their job. The back of the phone is flat, so you can also attach a protector if you don’t want most of the case.
