The triple-camera system is laid out along the top of these grids with the Glyph Matrix display\u2014more on that in a second. It\u2019s an unusual style that breaks from circular or rectangular camera modules in most phones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Glyph Matrix is an evolution of Nothing&#8217;s famous Glyph LEDs on prior phones. Originally designed to light up when notifications arrived, it also used the lights creatively to show how much time was left on a timer, or how close your Uber driver was to your location. The new Glyph Matrix can do all that and more, because it acts more like a display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Nothing showed off several new \u201cGlyph Toys\u201d launching with the phone, like the ability to see a pixelated preview of yourself so you can take selfies with the rear cameras. There&#8217;s also a spin-the-bottle game, a Magic 8 Ball that gives you an answer when you shake the phone, and even a game of rock-paper-scissors. Intuitively, there&#8217;s a little touch-sensitive circle below you can use to cycle through these modes, instead of having to constantly switch back and forth to the settings menu on the phone&#8217;s front screen. Nothing has launched a software developer kit, so anyone can create Glyph Toys for the phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Another fun feature is the little red square on the back. Originally on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/nothing-phone-2a\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Phone (2a)<\/a>, it&#8217;s now more than just a design accent. It lights up when you&#8217;re recording a video, just like a recording light.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The phone may not have the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite, instead opting for the slightly lesser Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, but it still should deliver flagship-grade performance, and the rest of the specs rival competitors, especially at the $799 price. Especially notable is the use of a silicon-carbon battery, a relatively new technology that enables denser batteries in thinner designs. While it&#8217;s slightly thicker than its predecessor (by 0.2 mm), the 5,150 mAh is decently larger than the 4,700 mAh in the Phone (2).<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of Julian Chokkattu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The phone has a grid design with three columns, representing the flexible printed circuit boards underneath.
