It would be great if Nothing allowed you to customize app light patterns, like you can with personal contact calls. Almost every time the notification light flashed, I immediately flipped the phone over to check if the source was my Nanit, the camera app I use to monitor my 4-month-old. So, while the feature is cool, I can’t guarantee that Phone 1 significantly reduces my screen time, which is one of the supposed goals of the glyph feature. What you need to know about the Nothing 1 phone Read more: Why the Nothing Phone 1 may not be as durable as its peers That said, I think this habit would be pretty easy to pick up. As such, I had to consciously make the effort to lay it down with my back up. It’s also the fact that I often haven’t used it everything because I usually put my phone with the front face up. Because I get a lot more messages than calls, I haven’t used the glyph interface frequently. It’s because for something to be useful to me, I would have to be inclined to use this. There is an unmistakable novelty in the glyphs interface, for which Nothing certainly deserves credit, but I didn’t find it very useful. It has various light patterns which can be selected from the control panel.Īndrew Lanxon/CNET What is the use of the glyph interface? You are looking at the phone 1 glyph interface. Read more: Nothing’s Phone 1 does not lack this important feature: waterproofing There is also a notification light on the back. This mode silences the device, but still flashes the lights to indicate an incoming call or notifications. Phone 1 has a “Flip to Glyph” mode, which only activates when Phone 1 is flipped, with the screen facing down. This still means you’ll have to memorize the light pattern and in my experience this resulted in a negligible reduction in screen time. Since you can associate individual contacts with a specific ringtone, and therefore a corresponding light pattern, you won’t have to glance at your screen to see who’s calling. The glyph interface is also designed with the goal of minimizing screen time, according to Nothing. There are over 900 LEDs powering the light strips, which flash rhythmically to the rhythm of a ringtone when you receive a call, for example. That defining feature is the glyph interface, which consists of flashing light strips displayed on the transparent back of the device. It may seem counter-intuitive, but the Phone 1, launching with much anticipation this month, has its defining feature on its back.

For years, phone makers have focused on their device screens by increasing resolutions while increasing refresh rates and screen brightness.
