We knew exactly what we were going to get from the Nothing Phone (2a): an W affordable, quirkydesigned mid-range Android handset. What we didn’t get to know in advance, of course, was just how successful Nothing’s attempt at winning the mid-range section of the Android market would be.
One of Nothing’s calling card features is the inclusion of Glyphs, a series of rear-positioned lights that can alert you in various ways – in a flashing sequence, for example – and while these do appear on Phone (2a), the arrangement is pared down. That means a trio of Glyph lights, all positioned towards the top of the device, and no charging Glyph to the lower portion of the phone.
