London-based startup Nothing has officially launched the Nothing Phone 3, the successor to the Phone (2). Known for its unique transparent design and glyph interface, the Phone 3 now brings more power under the hood along with a refined design language. With a stronger processor, larger battery, and improved cameras, it’s designed to compete against the likes of the OnePlus 13 and iQOO Neo 9 Pro.
Transparent Design and Glyph Interface 2.0
Nothing has retained its iconic transparent back but has introduced Glyph Interface 2.0, which adds more LED strips and customization options. The phone now supports enhanced notification lighting for apps, music visualization, and battery charging indicators.
The device is slim, lightweight, and built with an aluminum frame along with Gorilla Glass protection. It’s available in Black and White finishes, staying true to Nothing’s minimal aesthetic.
Display Upgrades
The Nothing Phone 3 features a 6.7-inch AMOLED LTPO panel with Full HD+ resolution and a 1–120Hz adaptive refresh rate. With HDR10+ certification and peak brightness of 2400 nits, it delivers vibrant visuals for movies, games, and day-to-day use.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Processor
Powering the device is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, a
powerful chipset designed to bring flagship-level performance at a lower cost than Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Paired with 8GB/12GB RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.0 storage, the Phone 3 runs smoothly even with demanding apps and multitasking.
Improved Cameras
Nothing has made big strides in the camera department. The Phone 3 houses a triple-camera setup:
50MP main wide sensor with OIS
50MP ultra-wide lens
32MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom
On the front, a 32MP selfie camera delivers sharp results and supports 4K video recording. The new camera algorithms improve low-light performance and natural color tones.
Battery and Charging
The device carries a 5000mAh battery, an upgrade over its predecessor. It supports 65W wired charging and 30W wireless charging. Nothing claims the phone can charge up to 50% in just 20 minutes.
The Nothing Phone 3 ships with Nothing OS 3.0 based on Android 15. The UI is clean, bloat-free, and comes with exclusive features like widget-heavy lock screens and glyph-based controls. The company promises 3 years of major Android updates and 4 years of security patches.
Price in India
The Nothing Phone 3 is expected to launch in India starting at ₹39,999 for the base 8GB/128GB variant, making it a strong competitor in the mid-premium category.
Verdict
The Nothing Phone 3 combines unique design with powerful hardware, making it one of the most interesting smartphones of 2025. With its transparent aesthetic, Glyph Interface, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 performance, and improved cameras, it’s perfect for buyers who want a phone that stands out while still delivering flagship-grade performance.
