We've somehow arrived at a position when we want our phones to do less in an era of never-ending doom-scrolling and gamified wellness checks. Although we still need to use super-fast 5G to cheat at pub quizzes, take lovely images, and save music, we just don't want our devices to constantly be clamoring for our attentio daily attention is given at all times.
The fact that the new Phone (2) from London-based tech company Nothing's prominent features are designed to help you live a less phone-centric existence is arguably its most amazing feature. You may place the phone on its front all day long because the upgraded Glyph LED strips on the back can be set up to signify messages, calls, etc.
With features like the option to filter program icons via a greyscale and remove labels as well as a widget-heavy (and highly changeable) home screen, the new monochromatic OS is designed to cut down on distractions. This reduces the need to cycle through apps in the first place.
With a 32 MP front camera and a dual rear camera system made up of two cutting-edge 50 MP sensors, the camera is a significant improvement over the brand's previous model. Additionally, the entire device looks and feels much more upscale. Pre-orders are already being accepted, and it will go on sale on July 17.
New Essential Glyph Notifications lets you focus whilst still being available to those who matter most. When selected contacts or apps send you a notification, a light will shine persistently until you’ve opened it. Everything else can wait.
Taking inspiration from the phone’s iconic hardware design, we’ve given our software a new visual identity that feels unmistakably Nothing.
