London-based tech company Nothing has launched its first true flagship smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3), marking a significant step into the premium Android market alongside competitors like Google Pixel 9, Samsung S25, and iPhone 17. The Phone (3) features a transparent back with an innovative new Glyph Matrix, a secondary pixelated LED display that provides notifications, functional apps, and playful features designed to reduce screen time. Equipped with a Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 processor, up to 16GB RAM, and a 6.67-inch OLED screen, the device offers flagship-grade performance and a 5,150mAh silicon-carbon battery with fast wired and wireless charging. The camera system includes three 50MP rear sensors with a periscope telephoto lens that offers 3x optical zoom and up to 60x AI-assisted digital zoom, plus a 50MP front camera, all capable of 4K video recording with UltraXDR HDR. Priced at $799, the Phone (3) is positioned to compete directly with top-tier smartphones and introduces features like AI-powered meeting transcription and a dedicated 'Essential Space' for notes and content. Nothing co-founder Carl Pei emphasized the brand's mission to bring joy and creativity back to everyday tech through distinctive design and meaningful software innovations.
