From CNET: Nothing apparently wants to leave nothing much to the imagination. The British company teased its new 4A phone on Monday, but without the bright pink color some expected. Potential customers did get a look at the latest iteration of the company's Glyph notification system, the Glyph Bar.
In a post on Monday on X, accompanied by the words, "Built different," Nothing showed the back of its new 4A phone -- in only white and shades of gray. It wasn't quite the "bold new experimentation of color" that CEO Carl Pei had hinted at on Instagram, which seemed to suggest the 4A might experiment with pink.
The X post also revealed Nothing's new Glyph Bar, which consists of seven small square LED lights to the right of the camera. The Glyph interface is a light pattern on all Nothing phones. These lights are basically notifications for things like incoming calls and texts, battery charging, deliveries and more, all without turning on the main screen.
A representative for Nothing did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
The 4A and 4A Pro are the latest models from Nothing, which Pei founded in 2020. The London-based company is known for making Android phones with minimalist designs, a transparent back plate and the Glyph interface. The company is still a niche phone-maker, with a global market share of 1% (2% in India) and a valuation of more than $1.3 billion.
