Indeed. Especially because I would never, ever out my screen face down. And so if you have your phone the right way up. Lo and behold, there's a screen there. Which can just tell you who's calling. Or how charged your phone is. And the back of the phone doesn't really look that good either. They've hidden away all the good stuff. You can't really see any pcbs, or chips or coils.

[@FlameForgedSoul]

Digging the Tron aesthetic, it's also nice to see someone actually trying to make these amazing tools we carry in our pockets less banal. I am however, curious/concerned about how much extra drain the LEDs are adding on the battery.

[@alexbabyfella3750]

who cares, just charge it

[@nobuyomso9986]

With nothing ultraboost Adapter.

[@ThePandaKingFTW]

I cant imagine leds, which are already super efficient, will be draining the battery unless you just leave them on all the time. If you just use them for notifications im sure its negligible

[@BMApaullo]

I actually think this is a really fair question and one we probably won't get a real answer to until we get our hands on it. First off, we don't know how long the battery is supposed to last from what I can find online, and additionally we won't know how much of that battery was lost to the interface unless Nothing has already tested this exact question, or even worse, if they even used the interface during their testing of battery performance at all. Probable guess: I think this'll take somewhere to 5-10% of your total battery life per charge, depending on how you use your device. Some people might just binge a ton of stuff, keeping their screens on, and relive the Glyph Interface from needing to actually be a notification to the user, others like myself might not use their phone much throughout the day so we'd have a build up of a bunch of notifications from a series of apps, which I think would probably drain your battery closer to 15 maybe even 20% if you're on the extreme end of this. But really we'll just have to wait an see. Also, the numbers given are purely a guess, seeing how other notification LEDs can have an impact on their phone's battery performance and trying to adjust for the number of LEDs and their thematics, so don't come with torches and pitchforks at me

[@patrickcarpenter6258]

Not gonna lie, they've managed to pack way more functionality into these leds, than I've thought. It's enough for it to be more than just a gimmick. It's nice not to be disappointed for once.

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.

Has pretty good potential to pioneer a new phone look/new era of phones for sure! But they're gonna have some competition if so.. cause the giants would defo try to create a cooler looking phone with similar concept and better technology due to the higher budget.. I hope this catches on, though.. I've always loved the seethrough/clear acryllic/clear resin look.. something about it is just so nice.. i hope they'll launch more cool phones soon

It looks absolutely amazing, i guess the main thing for me would just be the fact that i'm not a person who ever puts their phone face down.

It's been beaten into me from the days of easily scratched screens to never put my phone face down on basically any surface other than like my bed. Now days i know it's mostly ok to put your phone face down since the glass is better, but that's a habit i would specifically have to change to get any use out of the LEDs on the back of the phone. 95% of the time i would never see them.

[@1230mkelly]

Agreed. I never put my phone face down for the same reason and I also put my phones through a substantial amount of wear and tear so I buy a new phone and a case at the same time.
