Today we're going to be counting the LEDs inside of the back transparent panel on
the Nothing phone. Remember, this is what you wanted. Nothing says there are over
900 LEDs inside of here and today we're going to find out for certain if that is true.
We've already peeled off the frosting layer over the top leaving behind kind of a yellowish ribbon
with all of the LEDs lined up inside. I have my camera here and a closeup monitor behind us so we
should be able to get up close and personal with each and every LED. Let's get started.
[Intro]
Since I've already removed the glass once this should be pretty easy. No heat necessary.
Now we are inside.
Let's see what we come up with. We have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. 31, 32, 33, 34, 35,
36, 37, 38, 38, 39, 40. 41,42, 43, 44,45,46, 47,48, 49, 50. 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59,
60. 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70. 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78,
79, 80. 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87,
88, 89, 90. 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99,
100. Exactly 100 LEDs around the camera lens. Did not see that coming. Easy to remember.
Let's get this other little line up here by the glyph interface. We are going to go with...I
don't know if that's an LED or not. 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110.
111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120. 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129,
130. 131, 132, 133...let's make our way down to the bottom of the phone. Here is some more
of that frosted covering which we have not pulled off yet. It would be interesting,
since this is a white frosted clear cover, we could probably put whatever translucent piece
of plastic over top of this that we wanted to get a red glow or green glow. Very interesting.
Let's keep going. 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140. 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149,
150. 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160. Which means there are 27
LEDs in the exclamation point. And now that brings us to the wireless charging LED setup.
This is the longest one and it should be very interesting. We are at 160. Let us continue.
161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170. 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179,
180. 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 189, 190. 191, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 197, 198, 199,
200. 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 209,
210. 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 218, 219, 220. 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, 229,
230. 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 238, 239, 240. 241, 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249,
250. 251, 252, 253, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260. 261, 262,
263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270. 271, 272, 273, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279,
280. 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 287, 288, 289, 290.
291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298, 299, 300. 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308,
309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320. 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326,
327, 328, 329, 330. 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 338, 339, 340. 341,
342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 347, 348, 349, 350. 351, 352, 353, 354, 355, 356,
357, 358, 359, 360. 361, 362, 363, 364, 365, 366, 367, 368, 369, 370. 371,
372, 373, 374, 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380. 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389,
390. 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, 398, 399, 400.
I'm beginning to think there might be something else going on because we are not close to 900 yet.
401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, 410. 411, 412, 413, 414, 415, 416, 417,
418, 419, 420. 421, 422, 423, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429, 430. 431, 432, 433,
434, 435, 436, 437, 438, 439, 440. 441, 442, 443, 444, 445, 446, 447, 448, 449, 550. 451, 452, 453,
454, 455, 456, 457, 458, 459, 460. 461, 462, 463, 464, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469,
470. 471, 472, 473, 474, 475, 476, 477, 478, 479, 480. 481, 482, 483, 484, 485, 486.
486 – far shy of the 900 that we weren't ever promised, but we expected to find.
Let's see...I think there might be something up here. We're going to pop off the exclamation
point and we're going to dive a little deeper. What I'm thinking is...I'm
not sure if this is true or not, but it could be that the LEDs are doubled
up along each of these strips which would bring us to the 900 that we're looking for.
And there it is, it does look like there are LEDs on both sides of that strip. So we do have to take
486 and times it by 2, which brings us to just shy of 1,000. 486 x 2 brings us to exactly 972
LED lights on the back of the Nothing Phone 1. So 971 LEDs are the benchmark to beat for any future
backlit LED or gaming phone. Kind of hard to beat almost 1,000 lights. If you want to have a little
fun, leave a number down in the comments to throw people off who are trying to just cheat and see
what the actual number is without watching the video. And thanks for joining me on this
adult style Sesame Street counting expedition. Hopefully we don't do it again in the near future.
It'll be interesting to see what Nothing 2 looks like. Hopefully we don't have to count those LEDs.
If you have any questions leave them down in the comments. Or if you got a different number
than I did while we were counting together, make sure to leave that in the comments as well. Come
hang out with me on Instagram and Twitter. And thanks a ton for watching. I'll see you around.
And now that only the true fans of Nothing remain watching this video, I happen to have
5 Nothings to give away to you guys. I will be giving 2 away on Instagram
and 3 away over on Twitter. So come hang out with me over there and hopefully you
are one of the lucky winners of Nothing. And thanks again for watching. I'll see you around.
