What is the Glyph interface useful for?

The Glyph interface uses the LED strips on the back to display notifications, identify callers, show battery charge level, and act as a fill light when taking photos.

Does the Nothing Phone (1) support wireless charging?

Yes, the device supports 15W Qi wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging to charge other devices (e.g., headphones).

Is the phone waterproof?

The device has an IP53 rating, meaning it is splash-resistant and can withstand light rain, but it is not designed to be submerged in water.

How long does the battery last with normal use?

The 4500 mAh battery lasts a full day with normal use. The 120Hz screen and Glyph lights can increase power consumption, but the software is well-optimized.

Does the camera have optical image stabilization (OIS)?

Yes, the 50 MP main camera features optical image stabilization, which helps take sharper photos and more stable videos, even in low light conditions.

Does the screen support the Always-on Display function?

Yes, thanks to the OLED panel, the Nothing Phone (1) has an Always-on Display function that shows the time and notifications without fully turning on the screen.
