Hi everyone, my name is Rahil. I am a UI/UX Designer. One thing that I love about the Nothing phones is their software experience which extends to how stylized and efficient their widgets are. Recently I stumbled upon @Rahul ’s brilliant Widget concepts. I thought that I should also give it a try to design my own concepts.
My main focus was on efficiency and functionality, I also wanted to design widgets that I would see myself (and others) using on a daily basis.
1 - Internal Phone Temperature Monitor Widget
Simple and straightforward, these are made to convey to the user if an activity or task in their phone is raising its temperature which in the long-term might affect its battery.
2 - Environment Noise Level Monitor Widget
A real-time sound meter, instantly letting you know if the environment is too noisy. Sounds above 70 dB can be harmful so make sure to leave such places or use Nothing Ear’s ANC. (That’s a nice product tie-in, I know)
3 - Single Simple Notes Widget
Not much to say here. This can be used in conjunction with the upcoming countdown widget for reminders, notes and to-dos.
4 - Contact Speed Dial
Have contacts that you call or message often ? Use this widget to get in touch with them instantly without jumping into the contact or messaging app. (The purpose widgets were designed for)
5 - Volume Control Widget
I feel like the way to know the volume levels currently require a couple of extra steps. (Press a physical button and then click a virtual button to expand and then see volume levels for everything. And even then you cannot accurately know what the volume is)
This widget aims to streamline this flow and gives precise controls to the users, allowing them to adjust volume for different things on the fly. And placing these widgets on your screen will instantly convey what the different volume levels are.
Also if a button is broken or doesn’t work, these controls can be extremely useful.

That’s all for this concept. I have some more ideas, that I would explore when I get some more time. For now I want to pass it on to you.
What are the widgets that you want to see in the Nothing OS. Maybe I can make a concept for your ideas. Let me know in the comments.
Thanks for being here and looking at my concept.
