They can do simple stuff like flash in time with ringtones and notifications (which are themselves Nothing-ified, with electronic tones that sound like R2-D2 colliding with a synthesizer) but can also illuminate to show progress while charging the phone, and there’s even a setting in the camera app to activate every light The company clearly learnt lessons from its first product and the level of polish applied to the Phone 1 surpasses expectations, while unique features like its transparent back and glyph lighting marry novelty and functionality in a way that's absent from most other phones. This will be included within your account minimum payment request every month and cannot be repaid using Take 3. These options are accessed in the dedicated Glyph Interface section of the phone’s settings, where you can also adjust the brightness of the lights, set a bedtime schedule to pause the lights and sounds, and enable the “Flip to Glyph” silent, lights-only notifications when the phone is face-down.The portrait mode could be improved – the background is efficiently blurred, but I did notice the occasional jagged line around my subject. It's also worth mentioning that the Nothing phone has 5G capabilities, like any smartphone worth your cash these days.

Reading this, you're either here curious about who Nothing is and what the Phone 1 brings to the table compared to more well-known offerings, having never heard the name before or you're already clued-in on the story of the London-based startup and the existence of the Phone 1, wondering how the company's quick cultivation of talent and hype manifests when distilled into a smartphone.Nothing serves up the Phone 1 in two finishes: a black model and a white one – with the former offering a more understated appearance, while the latter accentuates those standout design elements in a way that's sure to get people talking, when you whip it out. The LEDs are diffused to form bars of light that run around the edge of elements like the rear camera module and wireless charging coil, and each segmented glyph can light up independently of the others.
