Composing With Glyphs

There are 11 LED strips on the back that you’re able to see through the rounded glass.

Flip the Nothing Phone over onto its face, and they all flash in sequence from bottom to top.

Its, well, flashy fun.

That said, I really enjoyed the unique look of Nothing OS.

It’s a black and white monochrome theme set that makes everything unique looking.

That one took a while.

I do miss a couple of things from the Apple world, however.

Nothing Phone 2 doesnt have Magsafe, so my wallet and car chargers dont stick.

How Much Will Nothing Phone 2 Cost, Though?
