The company has collaborated with professional photographers to offer preset cinematic looks that are accessible out of the box.One of Nothing's signature design elements returns in a new form. The Glyph Matrix — a customizable micro-LED display on the rear — is designed to reduce dependence on the main screen. It provides app-specific alerts, caller ID, and real-time progress indicators. New additions like Flip to Record allow face-down transcription of in-person conversations via the Essential Space feature.Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, the Phone (3) promises improved performance across AI tasks, gaming, and image processing.

Uniform 1.87mm bezels (18% slimmer than the previous model) frame the display. The R-angle shape has been tweaked for better grip and overall ergonomics.Running Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5, the phone includes several AI-powered features. Essential Search is a universal smart search bar; Essential Space offers an AI-organized hub for notes and ideas; and Flip to Record enables screen-free transcription.Nothing says it is taking a more considered approach to AI integration, aiming to build experiences that are genuinely helpful rather than bolted on.

Android 16 and Nothing OS 4.0 are expected to arrive in Q3 2025.In addition to practical tools, Nothing has added playful elements via Glyph Toys — including a digital clock, solar clock, stopwatch, and games like Spin the Bottle.

A public SDK is available for developers interested in building additional tools.The Phone (3) will be available in Black and White with two storage configurations:12GB RAM + 256GB storage: ₹62,999 (inclusive of launch offers)16GB RAM + 512GB storage: ₹72,999 (inclusive of launch offers)Pre-bookings have started.

Carl Pei said that the next major software update from Nothing, based on Android 16, will be rolled out this autumn, suggesting a September to November release window. The newly launched Nothing Phone 3 is shipped with Nothing OS 3.5 at the moment.
