Nothing, the UK-based smartphone manufacturer is all set to debut its next flagship on July 1. Ahead of the launch, Nothing has detailed the glyph matrix features of Nothing Phone 3 which is set to be the replacement system for the glyph interface that contained a few LED lights on the back of previous Nothing smartphones.
In an interview with Design Milk, the company’s design chief, Adam Bates, explained how the new Glyph Matrix system in the Nothing Phone 3 will work. Nothing has already teased it in the past where one can notice its presence in the top-right corner at the back of the phone within a circular cutout.
Glyph Interface was about LEDs placed across the whole back of the phone with some of them serving individual features such as the charging indicator, notification indicator, as a progress bar for various functions, etc. The Glyph Matrix, on the other hand, “shrinks the lighting interface down to the top-right corner of the phone, replacing larger segmented light strips with a dense cluster of micro-LEDs. Though physically smaller, the new system offers a dramatic leap in versatility and animation,” the report read.
The Glyph Matrix is set to be much more programmable and expressive than Glyph Interface. Glyph Matrix will enable pixel-level responsiveness that will allow it to show symbolic visuals, custom animations, and reactive lighting in sync with sounds or user interactions.
Explaining the reason behind the compactness of the Glyph Matrix, Bates told the publication, “The decision to move to a smaller form factor came from the desire to do more with less.” “By condensing the system into a matrix, we freed up space inside the phone while enabling a much higher degree of programmability. The compact circular format also gave us a striking visual identity that’s immediately recognizable and unmistakably Nothing,” he added.
Despite being compact, the Glyph Matrix won’t lose the essence of Glyph Interface. “Users will still be able to assign lighting effects to different apps and notifications – just with much more room for creativity.”
As for the Glyph Matrix features of Nothing Phone 3, the system will enable dynamic animations, symbolic visuals, and pixel-level responsiveness in a way the Glyph Interface never could. It will unlock features where “sound and light evolve together to create personalized cues. These features transform the back of the device into an expressive, functional surface, something that doesn’t just alert you, but communicates with you,” said the Nothing official.
One will be able to see “movement, pattern formation, and fluid animations that give the phone a sense of personality,” Bates noted. “It can now form symbols, abstract visuals, and dynamic feedback, allowing users to connect with their device in an entirely new way.”

Google AI mode experiment, which debuted in the US earlier this year, is now being made available in India. According to Google, “the new AI Mode experiment in Search uses advanced reasoning, thinking and multimodal capabilities from Gemini to help with even your toughest questions.”
Google AI Mode Now in India
“You can ask whatever’s on your mind and get an AI-powered response with the ability to explore further with follow-up questions and helpful web links. AI Mode does the heavy lifting for you, intelligently organizing information and gives you easy-to-digest breakdowns,” reads the Google Labs page while describing the feature.
With Google AI Mode in Search, users get the ability to go deeper through follow-up questions and helpful links to the web regarding their search query. a custom version of Gemini 2.5, it lets you ask longer, more complex or nuanced questions that would have previously required multiple searches.
“In fact, early testers of AI Mode are asking much longer queries – 2-3x the length of traditional searches – showing that people are already using it for their toughest questions. It’s particularly helpful for exploratory questions and for more complicated tasks like comparing products, planning a trip, or understanding complex how-tos,” said Google in a blog post.
AI Mode uses Google’s query fan-out technique. It breaks the user’s question into subtopics and issues a multitude of queries simultaneously on the user’s behalf, enabling Search to dive deeper into the web than ever before. “This helps you discover even more of what the web has to offer and find incredible, hyper-relevant content that matches your question. You can also easily ask follow-ups like, “Can you suggest some activities that they can do independently” to dig even deeper.”
Furthermore, you can not only access high-quality web content, but also tap into fresh, real-time sources like the Knowledge Graph, info about the real world, and shopping data for billions of products.
Google notes that users in India use Google Lens more than anywhere else in the world. As a result, AI Mode is designed to be multimodal so you can ask questions in whatever way feels most natural—whether that’s with text, your voice, or by taking or uploading an image.
To ask your questions using your voice, simply tap the microphone icon and ask your query in AI Mode. Google is further bringing powerful capabilities of Lens into AI Mode, allowing you to easily ask complex questions about what you see.
How to Use Google AI Mode in India?
To use the new AI mode in search, sign up for it in Google Labs. Once you enable it, you can access it via the web or the Google app, next to the tabs which take you to Shopping, Images, News, etc.
