The Nothing phone (1) is set to arrive on July 12 and ahead of this, the Carl Pei-led company has given us enough to keep the anticipation afloat. Last week, we got a clear (pun intended!) look at the company’s first phone and we can safely say that it’s interesting! Adding more to this, the smartphone has now appeared in a recent MKBHD video and this is purely meant to explain how its notification LEDs will work, which were shown off recently too. Spoiler alert, it’s pretty amusing! Here’s all you need to know.
As revealed previously, the Nothing phone (1) has a transparent back, which neatly gives us a glimpse of its internals like the wireless charging coil while taking inspiration from the iPhone 12. What appears even more attractive is the mouse-like shape (comprising a small C around the camera setup, a larger C around the charging coil, an exclamation mark at the bottom, and a dash in the top right corner) formed by over 900 LED lights. If you remember Nothing phone (1)’s announcement event, this shape was the only visual element that was teased back then.
We can expect more customization options at the time of launch or maybe, via future software updates. The video also gives us a look at the phone (1)’s front, which has a cornered-placed hole-punch and nothing too extraordinary. From the looks of it, the Nothing phone (1) is a head-turner but it remains to be seen how well this concept is received and whether or not it is able to persuade people into making the purchase.
