OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei has left the company to pursue his own path. And of course he has been able to attract media attention with his Nothing Ear headphones (1), and his recent Nothing Phone (1) mobile.
This quirky mobile draws attention with its quirky transparent back coverwhich reveals a series of LED strip lights that coordinate with music, and other functions. is what is called the Glyph interface.

The LED strip lights are covered with a semi-transparent white sticker. This is because LEDs are yellowwhich is not as elegant as white.

Nothing Phone (1), a unique mobile with a unique interior. You already have it for sale in stores like Amazon at a price of about 469 euros.
