Londonse Nothing has just officially revealed the Nothing Phone (3)the first real flagships of the flagships that marks the return of the brand numbered series and aims to renew itself without abandoning one’s own iconicity.

Compared to the predecessor Phone (2), launched two years ago, music changes as regards the SoC, the photographic sector (finally triple) and the characteristic rear lighting system that is embodied in the new interface Glyph Matrix. Let’s find out all the details, including sales prices for the Italian market.

Nothing Phone (3) is official: the numbered series returns, more eccentric (and powerful) That never

As anticipated at the opening, Nothing has launched the new Nothing Phone (3), an Android smartphone that wants to stand out within an increasingly uniform market, inaugurating a new chapter for the brand that has redesigned the whole whole, offering the first “true” flagship that comes after two years of “targeted” development. Before going further, we report the words of Carl Pei (CEO of Nothing) who commented on the launch of the smartphone:

“Technology has become monotonous: smartphones all look like each other and offer the same experience. That’s why we took our time. After two years of targeted development, Phone (3) is our answer: a top product made to make technology again personal. To stimulate creativity, reflect identity and offer people greater control over how to connect and create. intention and together with our community. “

“Identitarian” design and new Glyph Matrix interface

Nothing Phone (3) aims to hit, first, thanks to its design but it is right to say that, net of aesthetics, it was made to last over time: we find the IP68 certification that testifies to its resistance to water and dust but, at the same time, the Nothing engineers have put the smartphone that resisted the most disparate tests.

Returning to design, the smartphone is characterized by a modular design inspired by contemporary architecture. While continuing to play with transparencies, it has a three-column layout and, thanks to the redesigned r-angle profile, it improves the overall ergonomics.

The arrangement of the photographic sensors, which provides for the telephoto lens (on the debut on the numbered series) disallained compared to the main sensor, will surely be discussed but it is an extra weapon in the perspective of iconicity. On the other hand, we find the evolution of the Glyph Interface named. Glyph Matrix And it is designed to reduce time in front of the screen, making the reception of the necessary information more immediate (notifications related to apps or contacts, real -time advancement indicators).

There Glyph Matrix He also brings with him a “playful” soul called Glyph Toys which introduces various tools and micro-games on the back of the smartphone: among these they appear Glyph Mirror, Digital Clock, Stopwatch, Battery Indicator, Solar Clock And Spin the bottle; Everyone is accessible via a dedicated button.

With a future update, the function will also be implemented Caller ID and, by pressing the Glyph Button Drante the calls, it will allow users to view the name or contact number.


Display and photographic sector (finally triple)

Going further compared to the design, Nothing Phone (3) makes available to users what is indicated as the “brightest and most defined screen ever made by Nothing”: it is a panel Flexible Amoled from 6.67 inches with resolution 1.5krefresh rate adaptive between 30 Hz And 120 Hzpeak brightness a 4,500 Nit (in HDR) and PWM Dimming a 2.160 Hzexcellent news from the point of view of visual comfort.

The screen, surrounded by thin and uniform frames (1.87 mm each, -18% compared to the predecessor), hides a optical rector of fingerprints and is interrupted exclusively by a circular and centered hole that houses one 50 megapixel front camera.

By the way, at the rear we have a Triple photographic sector (first of all for the Numbed Nothing series) with Three 50 megapixel sensors: to the main sensor, optically and electronically stabilized, they keep an ultra-wide sensor and a periscopic telephoto lens for it 3x optical zoom but able to go up to 60x with Ultra Zoom.

In general, the photographic sector is designed for content creators, giving its best even in low light conditions and video recording: there is support for registration in 4K Ultra XDR until 60 fps on all lenses; In addition, we find a series of photographic presets that allow you to get cinematographic looks without skills whatsoever.

For the first time, hardware from (almost) flagships

After a Phone (1) based on Snapdragon 778g and a Phone (2) based on Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1Nothing has decided to change paradigm and focus everything on a latest generation SoC that could represent the right compromise between performances, energy efficiency and overall costs, while remaining in the Qualcomm house.

Nothing Phone (3) revolves around the Snapdragon 8S Gen 4a SoC made with 4 Nm production process which, on paper, behaves more or less like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 which made the fortunes of the best Android flagships in 2024. Compared to the previous model, Phone (3) boasts a considerable increase in performance: +36% CPU side, +88% GPU side, +60% In the IA operations, +125% in the recognition of images.

The SoC, flanked by 12 or 16 GB of RAM memory (LPDDR5X) and from 256 or 512 GB of storage space (UFS 4.0), brings with it to a super complete and current connectivity sector. There are support for 5G networks (on two nano-symbols or on Esim), the Wi-Fi 7The Bluetooth 6.0the NFC, the GPS (dual-band) and a door USB-C.

The integrated battery is a silicon-carbon unit from 5,150 mAh which guarantees over a whole day of use and, thanks to the quick recharge wired a 65 Wcan be 100% recharged in 54 minutes. There are also wireless charging a 15 W and the reverse wireless charging a 7.5 W.

Nothing OS 3.5, a lot of ia and support for seven years

The company has declared that the update at Nothing OS 4.0 (on Android 16 base) is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025 (therefore by September).

The operating system has evolved over time while always remaining on the tracks of speed, fluidity, simplicity and design “thought with care”. In the last period, Nothing OS also welcomed artificial intelligence and, in this regard, Phone (3) brings some key functions to the debut:

  • Essential Search – A smart search bar (accessible with a swipe upwards) that opens the doors to the search between content present in the smartphone (such as contacts, files, photos, appointments).
