Nothing has officially announced the Nothing Phone 3, the brand’s latest flagship smartphone, boasting a unique transparent back, revamped Glyph Matrix lighting, and significant hardware upgrades. The device is designed in London and emphasizes a blend of design and functionality, continuing Nothing’s bold design language with subtle refinements.
Display and Design
The Nothing Phone (3) features a 6.7-inch LTPS OLED display with a sharp 1.5K resolution (1260 x 2800 pixels). It supports a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and up to 4500nits of peak brightness, offering vibrant visuals even under direct sunlight. Additional display features include HDR10+ support, 10-bit color depth, and 2160Hz PWM dimming for reduced eye strain. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, ensuring enhanced durability.
Design-wise, the phone brings back Nothing’s signature transparent look with a refined Glyph Matrix on the rear, providing interactive LED lighting for notifications, calls, charging progress, and more. A new Essential Key adds programmable functionality to the side frame, making everyday actions more accessible.
Performance and Software
Powering the Phone (3) is the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a 4nm SoC designed to deliver flagship-level performance while remaining efficient. It is paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, enabling faster app loading, smoother multitasking, and excellent thermal efficiency.
On the software front, the Nothing Phone (3) runs on Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15 out of the box. Nothing promises 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security patches. However, since Android 16 has already been announced, users can expect four more major Android upgrades until Android 20.

The device houses a large 5500mAh battery, ensuring all-day power. Charging options include 65W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. The company has also added reverse wireless charging support for accessories and other devices.
