Looking for a smartphone that is unique as you are? Here is the Nothing Phone 3 – Nothing’s first Real flagship. The Phone 3 has retained the iconic transparent look with premium build materials, Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 brain, a triple 50 MP camera array, and a splendiferous Glyph Matrix display on the back. And yes – it is available in the US starting July 15th. Are you excited to see how this phone stands out?
First Real Flagship?
Nothing is calling this its first “true flagship.” Meta-level? Yes. With premium Gorilla Glass panels, IP68 rating, flagship internals, and flair, Nothing is ready to actually step into the flagship ring. The Phone 3 is powered by a Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 chip which does have flagship specifications – even if it doesn’t deliver Snapdragon 8 Elite level performance.
Distinctive Design
The Phone 3 sticks with the transparent aesthetic the fans wanted while introducing much tougher, LTEA-rated Gorilla Glass Victus and aluminum back. In either beautiful two-tone finishes of black or white, 1.87mm bezel thickness, and transparent design the Phone 3 feels like a portable design laboratory.
Glyph Matrix
Light with Personality Does it feel like just yesterday we introduced Glyph light strips? Now we’re announcing these Glyph light strips have been upgraded to a 25×25 circular LED grid, the Glyph Matrix. The Glyph Matrix totally rocks emojis, timers, caller identification, and fun mini-games like Rock-Paper-Scissors. It’s both eye candy and a utility with personality—and clever developers can create their own “Glyph Toys”.
Sensational Display Specs
A 6.67″ flexible AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate, and up to 4,500 nits of peak brightness means views are crisp, whether you’re streaming at home indoors or scrolling in direct sunlight. Rugged Gorilla Glass 7i is a standard, so you can drop it—but don’t!
Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 Speed
The Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 outclasses the competition—nearly identical with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the Phone 3 has taken a leap over everything that preceded it. Nothing competes with a choice of 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM with 256 GB or 512 GB of storage. Performance claims to be a 36% faster CPU performance and an 88% faster GPU performance compared to the last generation Nothing phones.
Cameras Go Click!
Time to geek out: you get three rear 50 MP camera a main shooter with OIS, a ultrawide, and a 3× periscope telephoto lens (up to 60× digital). Did I mention it also has a 50 MP selfie camera and a recording indicator light? It’s a camera system that means business, and is fun!
Ultra Large Battery and Fast Charging
A 5,150 mAh silicon carbon battery will get you through your day, and with 65 W wired charging, it will get to 50% charged in only 19 minutes. Amazing speed as well as 15 W wireless charging. Reverse charging (both USB-C and wireless) is an extra bonus if you ever need to top up a device.
AI Embedded Software
Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15 brings Essential Space (both screenshots and voice notes are organized in space) and Flip to Record (transcribed recording by AI) as well as, Essential Search a universal smart search bar feature. This may sound like gimmicks but these AI-enhanced features are great productivity tools.
Years of Update Support: A Rare Promise
Nothing has promised to support the Phone (1) for 5 years with Android version updates and 7 years of security patches, thus equating it with the Samsung and Google Pixel. This is a long term support value with improved longevity.
Pricing and Global Availability
In the U.S. it will start at $799 (12 GB/256 GB) and rise to $899 (16 GB/512 GB). Pre-orders will begin on July 4 and the phones will ship out on July 15. In India and the EU, the price will match the global tiers: ₹79,999 (€799)
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Standout transparent design
- Glyph Matrix adds creativity and utility
- Flagship-caliber cameras & display
- Fast charging and wireless support
- Long term updates (5 OS / 7 security)
Cons
- Chipset will work slightly below the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite

Who is it for?
If you’re looking for a phone that’s new, fun, functional, and reasonable, the Nothing Phone 3 serves up just that. If you’re a creative, experimental tech tinkerer, or just someone who wants a phone that stands out for conversation purposes, it is a solid option. But, if you’re just looking for performance or a more “common” phone, check out the Samsung S25 or Pixel, but again, none of them have the Glyph.
Final Thoughts
Nothing Phone 3, is not just another flagship and not as “fresh” as a top-tier offering we latest expect and see, but puts ethnicity and experience alike into a package that’s demonstrated with a purpose in glass and LED outputs. It is different with the Glyph Matrix, bold with cam carry forward, smart with AI, and a long update cycle. No, it won’t compete in terms of raw speed, but is bold, clever with great appeal.
