Refined design with signature flair Nothing continues its design-first approach, but Phone (3) dials down the flash for a more mature, polished aesthetic. The transparent back, layered aluminium and glass, and three-column symmetry offer a balanced, industrial look.

Glyph Interface gets a real purpose The new Glyph Matrix — with 489 individually controlled LEDs — now feels useful, not just quirky. It supports contact-based notifications, custom icons, and tools like a stopwatch or Magic 8 Ball. The Glyph Button adds tactile control.

Asymmetry meets precision The asymmetrical back remains, but it’s cleaner and more structured. The 1.87mm symmetrical bezel around the display — 18% slimmer than Phone (2)’s — adds to the premium feel.

Cameras for creators Four 50MP sensors, including the front, all capable of 4K 60fps recording. The main sensor improves low-light capture, while the periscope lens offers 6x lossless and up to 60x digital zoom. Macro performance is also solid.
More on the cameras The 70mm periscope camera delivers impressive portrait and product shots. With AI Super Res Zoom and macro focus, Nothing is clearly targeting mobile photographers and video creators.

Smooth, bright display The 6.67-inch AMOLED display boasts 1260 x 2800 resolution, 4500 nits peak brightness, HDR10+ support, and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It looks sharp and handles outdoor use effortlessly.

5 years of OS updates Phone (3) ships with Android 15 and Nothing OS 3.5. Android 16 and OS 4.0 arrive in Q3 2025. Nothing guarantees 5 years of major Android updates and 7 years of security updates.

Flagship power under the hood Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage delivers noticeably faster app performance and multitasking. Early tests show smooth gaming and camera responsiveness.
Battery built to last A 5150mAh silicon-carbon battery powers it all, with Nothing claiming two-day battery life. Fast charging (65W wired) and wireless/reverse wireless support check all the premium boxes.
10/10
Premium pricing, premium intent Starting at Rs 79,999 (12GB/256GB) and going up to Rs 89,999 (16GB/512GB), Phone (3) clearly isn’t trying to be a budget flagship anymore.
