It’s official — the long wait is finally over. After two years, Nothing is back in the flagship game with the launch of its most advanced smartphone yet, the Nothing Phone 3. The company has taken a bold step forward, introducing a bunch of exciting features and major design upgrades that set it apart from its previous phones.
And if you’ve been waiting to upgrade, this might just be the one worth checking out.
A Fresh New Look with Some Clever Touches
Let’s start with what’s instantly noticeable — the Nothing Phone 3 looks refreshingly different. The iconic transparent design is still there, but it’s been completely reimagined. The back panel now has a brand-new layout with an uncommon camera placement, giving it a unique and bold aesthetic.
But that’s not all. Nothing has introduced something called the Glyph Matrix — made up of 489 individually controlled LEDs that light up in different patterns for notifications, ringtones, and even app alerts. It’s joined by the newly added Essential Key, which acts as a customizable shortcut button, and a red recording light for creators.
Big on Power: A Serious Performance Upgrade
Inside, the Nothing Phone 3 gets a serious boost in power thanks to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. It’s built on TSMC’s cutting-edge 4nm process and features an 8-core CPU clocking up to 3.21GHz. Backing it up is the Qualcomm Adreno 825 GPU, which handles gaming and visuals smoothly. AI tasks like photo editing or voice recognition are taken care of by the Qualcomm Hexagon NPU, which improves efficiency without draining the battery.
Whether you’re multitasking, gaming, or simply scrolling endlessly, this chip is built to handle it all with ease.
Cameras That Aim to Impress
Photography lovers, this one’s for you. The Nothing Phone 3 comes with a powerful triple camera system on the back:
A 50MP main camera with OIS for sharp, steady shots
A 50MP periscope camera for high-zoom photography
And a 50MP ultra-wide lens for those group or landscape shots
On the front, there’s also a 50MP selfie camera that promises clear and detailed portraits, even in low light. It’s the most advanced camera setup on a Nothing phone so far — and it shows.

Display That’s Bright, Smooth, and Easy on the Eyes
The phone features a 6.67-inch flexible AMOLED display with impressively slim 1.87mm bezels all around. It supports a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, making scrolling and animations buttery smooth. And with 4500 nits of peak brightness, outdoor visibility shouldn’t be a problem at all.
Smarter Software, Smoother Experience
The Nothing Phone 3 runs on Nothing OS 3.5, based on the latest Android 15. The company has already confirmed that Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16 will arrive in Q3 2025, bringing even more enhancements.
Some of the new features include Essential Space (for quickly accessing your most-used apps) and Essential Search, which lets you find things across your phone easily. It’s a clean, thoughtful UI experience — something that’s becoming rare these days.
Battery Life That Keeps Up With You
Battery anxiety? Not anymore. The phone packs a large 5500mAh silicon-carbon battery that supports 65W fast charging. This new battery tech offers more energy density than traditional lithium-ion batteries — meaning more usage, less bulk.
So whether you’re working, binge-watching, or gaming, you’ll get through the day (and then some) without looking for a charger.
Price and Availability in India
The Nothing Phone 3 is available in two colors — Black and White — and is priced at Rs.79999 for the 256GB storage model. Pre-orders begin on July 4, and the device will officially go on sale starting July 15, 2025.
Final Thoughts: A True Flagship With Its Own Identity
The Nothing Phone 3 launch marks a big leap for the brand. With the introduction of the Essential Key, the eye-catching Glyph Matrix, and the power-packed Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, Nothing has delivered a phone that doesn’t just look cool — it performs like a real flagship too.
If you’re someone who values design, performance, and smart software — and wants something different from the usual crowd — the Nothing Phone 3 might just be the phone to beat in 2025.
