The Nothing Phone (3) and Headphone (1) are now widely available in most regions
The latest chapter in Nothing's growing ecosystem is officially underway. The company has now opened sales in most regions for both the Nothing Phone (3) and its debut over-ear headphones, the Nothing Headphone (1).Following several weeks of heated online discussion — especially surrounding the updated design of the Phone (3) — the devices are now available in multiple regions, including the US, UK, Europe, and India. For those interested, purchases can be made directly through the official Nothing store, while third-party retailers such as Amazon and Flipkart are handling sales in select we reported in our review of the Nothing Phone (3), the phone takes a bolder aesthetic leap compared to previous models. The rear panel sees a major redesign of the Glyph Interface, now called Glyph Matrix, introducing more granular lighting zones and interactive animations. That change divided opinion early on, but the final release gives users more hands-on control with lighting patterns and real-time integrations. Hardware-wise, the Phone (3) includes the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, a 6.7-inch OLED display, and either 12GB or 16GB of RAM depending on the configuration. Storage goes up to 512GB, and customers in some regions are receiving free upgrades to the higher-memory model. However, this promotional offer is not available everywhere. One regional variation worth noting is the Indian version of the Nothing Phone (3) , which ships with a larger 5,500mAh battery. The international variant carries a slightly smaller 5,150mAh cell. This distinction might matter to heavy users, especially with Nothing's increasing focus on long-lasting performance.

Featuring a transparent outer shell that fits Nothing's signature design language, the headphones support active noise cancellation, dual-device connectivity, and personalized sound profiles. While early impressions have been limited, these headphones are positioned to compete in a market already dominated by established players like Sony, Apple, and Bose. With both devices now widely available, the real test begins. Will the Phone (3)'s divisive design and modest hardware tweaks prove appealing to longtime fans? And can the Headphone (1) carve out space in a crowded field?As always, we'll be keeping a close eye on community feedback and long-term impressions — but for now, Nothing is keeping its momentum going with bold choices and growing ambitions.

Nothing Phone (3) review
The third time's a charm - or so Nothing hopes with its latest release, the Nothing Phone (3). Following up on the well-received Phone (1) and the more performance-oriented Phone (2), the new model pushes the company's design-forward philosophy into more premium territory, while also refining the formula that brought the startup so much attention in the first place. Positioned as the flagship of the Nothing lineup, the Phone (3) arrives with a more mature attitude - and a matching price tag. The base 12/256GB variant starts at $799/€799/£799/₹79,999, while the 16/512GB model goes up to $899/€899/£899/₹89,999. That's a big step up from the Phone (2), placing it squarely in competition with established premium midrangers and even some full-fledged flagships. Nothing Phone (3) 5G specs at a glance: Body: 160.6x75.6x9.0mm, 218g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass 7i), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus), aluminum frame; Monochrome LED display on the back (489 LEDs, notifications, timer, flashlight), IP68 dust tight and water resistant (submerged up to 1.5m for 30 min). 160.6x75.6x9.0mm, 218g; Glass front (Gorilla Glass 7i), glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus), aluminum frame; Monochrome LED display on the back (489 LEDs, notifications, timer, flashlight), IP68 dust tight and water resistant (submerged up to 1.5m for 30 min).

On the outside, the Phone (3) sticks to Nothing's now-iconic transparent design language but tweaks it in new directions. The most noticeable change is the introduction of the Glyph Matrix on the back - a new take on their lighting interface. The old LEDs are gone now and you get a new dot-matrix display that adds a new dimension to notifications and personalization. The chassis is flatter and more angular than before, and the combination of an aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass Victus on the back, and Gorilla Glass 7i on the front maintains the premium build quality established by its predecessor. Under the hood, Nothing has opted for the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset - a capable sub-flagship SoC that strikes a balance between efficiency and raw power. It's paired with up to 16GB of RAM and a large 5,150mAh battery, a clear upgrade over previous models. The new 65W charging promises fast top-ups. The display also receives a boost, now featuring a 6.67-inch OLED with up to 4,500 nits of peak brightness, as well as slimmer bezels than ever. Camera-wise, Nothing has expanded things by adding a third 50MP 3x periscope telephoto on the back, alongside the 50MP main camera and 50MP ultrawide. In many ways, the Phone (3) represents an incremental upgrade and refinement of the familiar formula rather than a massive change or leap forward. Whether that comes at too great a cost - literally and figuratively - is what we're here to find out. Let's dive into the details. Unboxing The Nothing Phone (3) ships in a rather oversized box. It is a white box with the traditional Nothing styling on top. Actually, the styling is mostly limited to the sleeve covering the box. The box itself is almost entirely white. The inner box is very hard and rigid, perfect for protecting the phone during shipping. There is a cradle for the actual phone on the inside to keep it snug and safe. Everything appears to be made of cardboard, which is a nice touch. In terms of accessories, our European unit naturally did not come with a charger in the box. There is no physical space for a charger in the box either. Still, some retailers may offer a bundle deal that includes a charger, so be sure to check. What is in the box is a transparent TPU case. It's nice and thick, making it a great addition to start using your shiny new phone right away. Additionally, you receive a stylish Nothing USB Type-C to Type-C cable. Page 2

Nothing Phone 3 and Nothing Headphone 1 now selling in India, bank offers sweeten the deal
The recently-launched Nothing Phone 3 and the Nothing Headphone 1 are now on sale in India, across online and offline stores. The two devices were launched globally as well as in India on July 1. Until now they were on pre-orders but from today both devices are going on open sale in India. While the Headphone 1 has a price of Rs 19,999, the Phone 3 is going on sale with a starting price of Rs 79, starting price is for the 12GB variant of the phone. This one also has 256GB storage. The phone with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage is priced at Rs 89,999. Although, says that with bank offers and other promotions on the sale day means that the Phone 3 with 12GB RAM could be purchased for as low as Rs 62,999, including exchange offer, while the price of the 16GB variant could be as low as Rs 72,999. It is worth noting that Nothing calculates these lower prices by including the exchange value of the device you are exchanging and only select phones could be part of this exchange offer. Nothing Headphone 1 Compared to the previous Nothing Phone 2, the Phone 3 is a big leap for the company in terms of the capabilities and feature set of the device, as well as aspirations of Nothing as a company. It calls the Phone 3 its first true flagship phone. The phone comes with a three-camera setup — which excels at macro in particular as we are finding while we use the device as part of its review — and a new notification system called Glyph Matrix, which replaces the Glyph Lights we have so far seen on Nothing phones. Just like previous Nothing phones, the Phone 3 also uses techno-industrial design with a transparent back and etched patterns under it. Inside the phone houses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and a 5500 mAh battery, which is unique to India because the global variant has a smaller Headphone 1, meanwhile, is the company's full-size pair of cans aimed at similar headphones offered by companies like Bose, Sennheiser, and Sony. It undercuts its competitors with price of Rs 19,999 and yet offers fairly capable sound quality and noise cancellation. In India Today Tech review of the Headphone 1 we found that its sound profile, which is tuned by well-regarded audio company KEF, offered refined and detailed audio with just the right amount of bass. In the same review, we also found the buttons of the Headphone 1 precise, imaginative and intuitive.- Ends
