The Nothing Phone LOOKS Different

imagine adjusting all of your phone contacts to ring differently and then still get no calls just like before

Imagine engineering all that design and LED stuff just to put back cover on it.

Yooo, this is amazing! The deaf community can finally experience the custom sound ringtones for contacts/apps/etc, but with light! I really hope the OS on it is great too because this really more inclusive to the differently-abled.

These are gonna become collectors items once the phone goes through their life cycle..pretty genius

Non-screen indicators is something I miss from old phones. This makes me want to switch to Android... maybe. It looks/feels like what people in the 1980s imagined future phones would look like. I feel like people will want to program the lights to do something more than just flash... like respond to music, indicate a direction to go, etc. Sometimes we can't have our full attention on a phone so having a simple elegant indicator that is easy to interpret just by glancing rather than reading carefully declutters a lot of our visual space.

I hope they keep in mind if they want to make big bucks, they provide functional cases that work with the gylph LEDs.

I just wanna remind people that Nothing is a startup company. We're witnessing their first steps into a huge market with extreme competition. What they mean by "taking on apple" and such are their future vision so give them a few tries and a little time and then everything will be clear how Nothing will turn out.. keep your expectations at a fair level so you won't be disappointed, nor cricticism will burn em to the ground when they actually deliver :)

To be fair they could create their own cases, that have a transparent back where the light is. Maybe also, so the light can be in the color of the case.

I want a black one with red LEDs.That would actually look really friggin nice.

Playing the Ringtones in sequence in this video made me think it'd be nice to sync up New Orders Blue Monday as a ringtone and the lights beat out to it, also the sounds that were there gave me cause to think Kraftwerk's Pocket Calculator would also make a good ringtone and led display combination.

The reason I loved the Oneplus One was that it delivered such great hardware for a very low price. They did this for marketing, making little to no profit on their first phone made people buy it because of the great value and love it for that reason, and they went in with the same mentality on newer phones even if they didnt follow the same strategy. So for me, that is the key thing that will flip me into buying this phone or not. Do i get a great phone for a great value, or not. Price will be the deciding faction for Nothing phone (1)

I'm an investor and they have made special back cover for it ! You will see the phone once it's available. The phone was created with that in mind and ex Dyson Head of designs made sure it looks great

I feel so mixed on Nothing, the Ear 1's were pretty good and the transparent phone looks great but their hype marketing puts me off a little

The hardware piece does look quite nice, now I'll need to see the software in action.

I know it wouldn't be as cool, but surely just having an always on display that can light up with the same kinds of patterns would be equally as good, maybe even better because it'll be more customisable?

Depending on price, I definitely would switch. I love the custom lights on back. Can't wait to find out the price. I would definitely rock it.

I wanna see what the case solutions will be. I love the LED effects but I'll never go caseless. Also I'll probably wait a few iterations before I jump the shark. Not a big fan of iPhone designs so hopefully their later ones move away from that shape as they establish themselves

im not going to lie its definetly caught my attention and ive become very interested in it I just wish I heard more on the software and what makes it different in there as well because it does look a lot like an iphone I just wonder what they are going to do to stand out from the rest (other than the back of the phone having flashing lights for notifacations)

My first impressions were that it has the general shape and back look of an iPhone, but the front display and selfie camera of a oneplus or something. Interesting design, and I like how it ties into that transparent aesthetic.

This could be a hit phone now all they need is to hit the "sweet spot" meaning the phone has to have good enough hardware to compete in the current market, working software and the most important is reasonable pricing. If it's going to be way more expensive and less capable than the current generation high end phones the design and uniqueness will not suffice sadly.
