When Carl Pei first confirmed the Nothing phone (1) earlier this year, he only shared the design of the LED strips at the back of the device. At the time, we did not know what the teaser design meant. However, we now know thatthe strips on the back panel of the Nothing smartphone do light up, and well, it does look impressive.

Althoughit is currently unclear what triggers LED strips to light up on the Nothing phone (1), we expect that they light up for notifications or incoming calls. It is also currently unknown whether users could control the functioning of the lights via the system settings or not. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that the LED strips, along with the transparent design language, do look pretty cool and unique. This could be one of the major highlights of the device and a significant differentiation factor for the Nothing phone (1).

Other than this,rumorssuggest that the Nothing phone (1) will come with the latest Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, 50MP rear camera, 45W fast charging, and a 90Hz display. Nothing has already confirmed that its first phonewill be sold in India through Flipkart. In fact, the company has alsoconfirmed that Nothing phone (1) will be manufactured in India.

So yeah, if you are interested in the Nothing Phone (1), be sure to catch the official unveiling on July 12. Also, let us know your thoughts on the light-up notification LED strips at the back in the comments below.
