Speaking of things built into the screen, the fingerprint sensor is one of them too, and since Nothing hasn’t mentioned anything about it being ultrasonic, we’re assuming it’s optical. The Nothing (1) phone runs the Android 12-based Nothing (1) operating system. The key to the software is reliability, so it’s not a heavy skin and promises it won’t have any bloatware. Nothing even promises three years of Android updates and four years of security patches every two months.
The software comes with a few small additions to Android as standard, such as a Quick Settings control for Nothing’s Ear (1) TWS earphones and another for Tesla cars, which allows you to turn on the electric vehicle lights or AC first. to get into this, that kind of thing.

Probably the main unique selling points of this device will be the transparency on the back, as well as the “Glyph interface” LEDs that are also found over there, and these are placed next to the functional areas of the phone, so that they can show you relevant information. For example, when you are charging you get a progress indicator, when you do reverse wireless charging something you also get an indicator of that and the camera lights too.
