Introducing the ‘Glyph Matrix’

A standout feature is the new “Glyph Matrix” on the back of the phone. This dot matrix display replaces the traditional lighting of earlier Nothing phones. It can show information like the time and offers interactive “Toys” such as a spin-the-bottle game.

Developers can create their own “Toys,” and Nothing has already released community-made apps like Magic 8 Ball and Leveler. A Caller ID feature for the Glyph Matrix is also expected soon. Users can interact with it via a touch-sensitive button on the back.
