Essentially, the Nothing Phone (1) consists of an aluminum frame between two Gorilla Glass 5 panels. It seems that both the front and back panels should be equally strong. However, a drop test showed that this was not the case.
The smartphone comes out of the box with a screen protector. It was left in place for testing – perhaps that was the reason for the difference. The phone was dropped from arch height and looked neat after it fell on the dash. But it crashed after it fell on the back panel.
You should probably use the official clear case to protect your smartphone.
