Nothing has finally decided to show for the first time the new rear lighting system of his next smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3), and did so in a way that does not fail to surprise; The news? The Glyph Matrix lights They make their appearance in an unprecedented position, de facto the design leaked in recent weeks.
Here are the new Glyph Matrix lights by Nothing Phone (3)
It is with the phrase “When light becomes language”That Nothing presents the new bright module, called Glyph Matrix; it is a Completely redesigned configuration than the previous models, more compact and placed in the upper right corner of the rear body And no longer in the center as many had hypothesized. The short shared video clearly shows a minimal and localized arrangement, far from the widespread LED grid of the predecessors.
Although the technical details are still rather scarce and the behavior of the lights has not yet been explained in detail, it is clear that Nothing wants to shift attention to the concept of light as a language, suggesting a symbolic use, perhaps even more interactive, of this element.
This stylistic choice also represents a clear distance compared to the trapped design in early June, which showed a device with aesthetics very similar to Nothing Phone (3A), without visible LED elements, with three rear cameras and a rather conventional layout (the cover image to be clear); In retrospect many had already shown themselves skeptical about that leak, precisely because of the absence of the Glyph lights that have always been a distinctive stretch of Nothing products.
Now the official teaser, albeit fleeting and partial, deny in a rather clear way that version: The new Glyph Matrix lights are in a position that would be physically incompatible with the leaked designmaking the latter most likely a false or a version of pre-production never intended for marketing.
It is certainly not the first time that Nothing plays with the boundaries between official teaser and strategic leaks, as often happens in the tech world, and in particular with a young and media careful brand like Nothing, the wrong news escapes may not be completely random, but part of a precise marketing strategy aimed at feeding the hype and temporarily confusing the waters.
What is certain is that Nothing Phone (3), whose official presentation is expected for the beginning of next month, aims once again to stand out not only for the specifications, but also for the design philosophy; An approach consistent with the identity of the brand, which made aesthetic transparency and visual interaction a trademark.
We just have to wait for the official launch event to discover all the news that Carl Pei and his team have in store for users.
