WIRED Great 120-Hz OLED display. Solid battery life. Slick and stylish interface. Attractive, especially with the Glyph lights on the rear. TIRED Not sold in the US. IP53 rating only protects from rain. Glyph lights feel limited.
This is all made better with Nothing’s slick software interface. It’s not too different from stock Android , but the phone also ships with a set of attractive widgets. Usually, I ignore a phone manufacturer’s widget offerings because they’re ugly. Not these. I’ve adorned my home screen with widgets for a clock, the weather, and a panel to control the Ear 1 wireless earbuds when they’re connected.
Battery life is reliable; I consistently got through a full day of use, though heavy users may need to top up before the day’s end. Just about the only area where the Nothing Phone could stand to do better is water resistance. The IP53 rating means it’ll be fine in the rain , but a dip in the pool could be catastrophic.Let’s talk about Glyphs. The 900 LEDs, which only light up white and not in color, aren’t always illuminated.
There’s a Flip to Glyph mode that turns on silent mode when you place the phone facedown and lights up the LEDs when new notifications come in. It’s a nice way to stay in the loop without getting too easily distracted by reading every notification. Glyphs have one more use in the camera app, where you can use them as a fill light when taking photos of a subject close-up instead of using flash. This is neat because a camera’s flash can often produce harsh lighting and darken the background too much. I like using Glyph lighting for certain scenarios like taking low-light photos of my dog, but I’ve noticed it adversely affects skin tones and white balance.
