Nothing Lives Up to Its Name, Hypes Up Nothing (Gizmodo)

Nothing, the smartphone brainchild of CEO Carl Pei, co-founder of OnePlus, is once again testing the efficacy of its hype machine. The company is currently ...

Nothing will reveal the rest of the details at a July 12 event (unless it decides to keep teasing bits up until then, which seems possible). With the auction, it seems like Nothing is going for a similar launch strategy as Carl Pei’s former darling, OnePlus, which has sunk into the arms of its big owners overseas since Pei’s exit. You also won’t have to turn on the screen to see your charging progress with the Nothing smartphone. We’ve seen Android phones throughout the years attempt to pave their way based on a different type of aesthetic (remember the Nextbit Robin?) with little success beyond the initial launch. The back of the device is known as Nothing’s “glyph interface,” with 900 individual LEDs embedded into a neat, futuristic pattern. In the latest video from renowned YouTuber, Marques Brownlee (also known as MKBHD), we finally glimpse one of the smartphone’s marquee features: its light-up chassis.

The Nothing Phone Is the Most Hyped Android in Years. Here's Why ... (gearpatrol.com)

Spearheaded by Carl Pei, one of the co-founders of OnePlus, Nothing is a tech startup company with, so far,one product: a pair of $99 wireless earbuds — called ...

The lighting system is called the "glyph interface" and it consists of 900 individual LED lights that are situated on the back of the Phone 1. After months of teasing, Nothing has given us a first glimpse of the Phone 1 via a "hands on" video from YouTuber MKBHD and by launching an official product page on its website. The Phone 1 is the company's second product and first-ever smartphone.

Here's what the Nothing Phone 1's rear lights can actually do (The Verge)

Nothing CEO Carl Pei previously hinted in an interview with The Verge that they could serve as a modern take on the classic smartphone notification LED, but now we have a much better idea of how this will actually work in practice. Brownlee’s video highlights a couple of different use cases, including having the LEDs work as a charging indicator, highlighting unread notifications, or flashing in time with ringtones. It showed off the design of the rear of the phone last week and has already released a beta preview of its Android-based launcher, Nothing OS. Internally, we know that the phone is running a Snapdragon processor, though other specs are yet to be announced.

It looks like the Nothing Phone (1) has a couple tricks up its sleeve with regards to its large notification LEDs.

It will be interesting to see just how far Nothing can take this movement and to see how many stay along for the journey. The LEDs don’t stay illuminated constantly and can be reactivated just by wiggling the phone. The customizations can even be done in apps, giving users an idea of what kind of notification has arrived. While the front looks like your typical Android smartphone (though with equal bezels), the rear looks unique. Cryptic would be an understatement when describing Carl Pei’s Nothing. Up until a week ago, the company was slowly building anticipation for its upcoming smartphone, the Phone (1), by trickle-feeding its audience and supporters, mostly little snippets of nothing. Today, we get to hear a little more about the phone and its LEDs, thanks to a new video posted by MKBHD.

Coming to the battery of the device, we can expect the Nothing Phone (1) to make room for a 4,500mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging over a USB Type-C charging port. The Nothing Phone (1) is said to feature a 90Hz refresh rate 6.55-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED panel. MKBHD further tells us about the LED lights that the Nothing Phone (1) makes room for at its back. As for the rest of the details, the video does not mention much about the specifications of the device. Now, a new hands-on video by the famous YouTuber MKBHD has popped up, which leaves little room for guesswork when it comes to the design of the Nothing Phone (1). Let’s take a look. That said, we might have to wait for the device to launch to tell this with more confidence.

Unfortunately, the Nothing Phone 1 hands-on video does not go over the details we want to know the most. In the video, MKBHD focuses mostly on the design of the phone — specifically the “glyph” interface on the back. This is the light-up back of the phone which has a strange design that coincides with the various hardware inside.

Ahead of its launch, though, we’re getting a first look at the Nothing Phone (1) and its signature trick, “glyph” lights. We’ll have to wait and see on that one. The front also has moderately sized bezels in today’s market, but with a hole-punch for the selfie camera instead of the iPhone’s notch.

You can also assign particular ringtones to contacts and the lights will let you know who’s calling when the phone is upside down. These include setting the brightness of the lights themselves, some integrated ringtones which glow up various parts of the light strips in sync with the ringtone music, and also a Flip-to-Glyph feature, which can trigger the Glyph interface to work only when the phone is flipped upside down. The exclusive look at the phone comes thanks to YouTuber MKBHD, who showed off the Nothing phone (1) from all angles in his new video.

As seen in the images that surfaced earlier, the Nothing Phone 1 has a total of 900 LEDs on its back panel that make up for a distinguished pattern, which also happens to be the mascot for the smartphone. However, the Nothing Phone 1 stands out – the company has used the same semi-transparent design language on Nothing Ear 1, the first product released by the company. After revealing the official images of the device a couple of days ago, Nothing has finally lifted the embargo on one of the first impressions videos from one of the most popular tech YouTubers in the world.
