The first thing that will grab your attention one the much-hyped Nothing Phone 1 is its Glyph interface, which comprises a set of uniquely designed LED lights reminiscent of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

You can link specific lighting patterns to your contacts so when a call comes in, you immediately know who’s calling. It helps too to have notification sounds that resemble that 1990s polyphonic vibe. Yes, this phone is made to stand out.
