Update: Nothing has officially posted the images of the Phone (2) in two colours and a redesigned Glyph interface.
Nothing already revealed the front design of the Nothing Phone (2) that showed a centre punch-hole, and the back rear design showed multiple LEDs for the glyph interface when showing off the glyph composer.
Today, YouTuber Marques Brownlee posted a video that reveals more details about the LEDs.
This shows a new grey colour instead of Black, and it should also come in a white version. It still has a flat display on the front, and the back is slightly curved.
The location of the LEDs on the back are similar to the Phone (1), but in Phone (2) the centre part has 6 separations, and has 33 addressable LED lighting zones, compared to 12 in the predecessor. The top right alone has 16 customizable lighting zones.
Use cases of Glyph LEDs in Nothing Phone (2)
- Volume indicator: The lights indicate as you increase or decrease the volume
- Timer: The lights adjust according to the countdown of the timer
- Uber and Zomato: The lights as a progress bar to indicate the time before the cab or food reaches you
- App notification: You can set an app to always show the LEDs when receive a notification
The bottom LEDs still act as a progress bar when you plug the wired charger. All these are useful only when you place the phone down. We should know more details about the Phone (2) in the coming days, before the phone is unveiled next week.
