The Nothing Phone (3) features a 6.67-inch LTPO AMOLED display with adaptive refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz, delivering 2400-by-1080 resolution at 395 PPI with peak brightness reaching 2,000 nits for improved outdoor visibility. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset paired with 12GB RAM and storage options from 256GB to 512GB, the device delivers flagship-level performance while maintaining Nothing's distinctive transparent rear design language. The dual-camera system comprises a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization and a 50MP ultrawide lens, both utilizing Sony IMX sensors for improved low-light performance and computational photography capabilities. The 4,500mAh battery supports 45W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, with reverse wireless charging capability for accessories. The evolved Glyph Interface on the rear panel features over 900 individually addressable LED zones creating customizable light patterns for notifications, calls, and music visualization, expanding beyond the original Phone (1)'s simpler LED strip configuration.
Designed as Nothing's maturation into the flagship smartphone segment, the Phone (3) balances the company's design-forward philosophy with competitive technical specifications addressing previous criticisms of mid-range performance. The enhanced Glyph Interface transforms from novelty feature to functional communication tool, enabling users to identify callers, app notifications, and charging status without screen activation—reducing unnecessary phone checking behaviors. The transparent design aesthetic continues to differentiate Nothing in a market dominated by glass and metal uniformity, appealing to users seeking visual distinction alongside practical functionality. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset positions the device competitively against established flagship offerings from Samsung, Google, and OnePlus, while Nothing OS maintains a relatively clean Android experience with thoughtful customization rather than heavy manufacturer overlays. This combination of distinctive industrial design, flagship performance, and refined Glyph functionality establishes the Phone (3) as Nothing's attempt to prove that design innovation and technical competitiveness can coexist in the premium smartphone market.
