The ringtones take full advantage of the Glyph interface present on the rear of the phones by synchronising the LEDs with the tunes.

Upon opening the Glyph Composer on your Nothing Phone (1), you will be greeted with several pads which can be tapped to generate sounds along with a ‘Modem‘ button that contains five sound presets.

• From here you can listen to your ringtone and if satisfied, select the Save button
• Give a name to your ringtone, if you would like and again tap Save

Does Glyph Composer bring features of Nothing Phone (2) to Phone (1)?

No, since the Nothing Phone (2) has a different and improved Glyph interface array than Nothing Phone (1), the Glyph Composer won’t bring new features to Phone (1) due to hardware limitations. Users will have to resort to the existing LED design and make the most out of it.
