Nothing Phone (3) Unveiled With Unique Glyph Matrix and Snapdragon 8s Gen 4

The Nothing Phone (3) has been officially launched, and as promised, it positions itself as a flagship-class device powered by the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. The phone features a 6.67″ LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support, offering fluid visuals and high dynamic range performance. It comes with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage, while the 5150mAh SiC battery supports 65W wired charging and 15W wireless charging.

For photography, the device packs a triple 50MP camera setup consisting of wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto lenses. A 50MP front-facing camera handles selfies. Notably, the rear camera module design has changed significantly from the Phone (3a) and 3a Pro, now featuring a red LED that lights up during video recording.

The most radical redesign comes on the back, where the familiar Glyph lights are replaced by the new Glyph Matrix — a circular LED screen made up of 486 LEDs. This interactive display can show notifications, time, battery levels during calls, and even run mini-games known as Glyph Toy. A dedicated round Glyph control button is placed on the rear for easier interaction.

Joining the lineup of physical inputs is the new Essential Key located on the right side of the phone. This button can be customized to summon a voice assistant, launch audio recording, open the Essential Space, and more — making the Phone (3) one of the most button-rich smartphones we’ve seen to date.

Running on Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, the device will receive five Android version updates and seven years of security patches. It also boasts IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, an under-display fingerprint scanner, and a dual stereo speaker setup.

The Nothing Phone (3) is available in white and black, priced at $799 (~RM3,353) for the 12GB/256GB variant and $899 (~RM3,774) for the 16GB/512GB model. Malaysian pricing and availability will be revealed during the local launch event on July 11.
