There are over 900 LEDs on the back of the phone that can glow together in a peculiar shape called Glyph Interface or glow-in-parts. There’s LED around the rear camera setup, around the wireless charging pad, etc. The brand is likely to sell a transparent cover for the phone to ensure both the safety and the show.

In his 6 minutes 48 seconds video, Marques shows us the various things possible with this light show:

•  The entire Glyph interface can light up as a Notification LED. 
• The LEDs surrounding the wireless charging pad glow to show when it's reverse charging some other device.
• The small LED strip towards the bottom USB-C port illuminates to present the charging progress bar.
• The complete Glyph interface can also act as a fill light during rear camera photography in dark settings.
• The light strips together or in parts can sync and shine with the built-in 10 ringtones on the Phone 1.

Within the Glyph Interface settings on the phone, you could customize some of the aspects of the LED presentation.
