After months of speculation, Nothing has officially unveiled its flagship smartphone Phone (3) and its first-ever over-ear Headphone (1) — both packed with signature design quirks and ambitious hardware upgrades. The global launch took place in London, and both products are now confirmed to arrive in India, setting a new benchmark for the brand.
Phone (3): A Smarter Glyph, More Power Under the Hood
Nothing Phone (3) builds on the company’s design-first philosophy with a transparent back panel that now houses the all-new Glyph Matrix — a sophisticated micro-LED system that replaces the earlier LED layout. The new setup isn’t just about aesthetics. A mini display in the top-right corner allows users to check essential notifications without switching on the screen, nudging you to scroll less and focus more.
The Glyph Matrix is also home to Glyph Toys, a set of quirky micro-games and utilities that run on the back of the phone — think Spin the Bottle, Solar Clock, and a Digital Mirror. Users can assign pixel-art icons to contacts for a nostalgic, playful vibe. Two of these tools — Magic 8 Ball and Leveler — were co-designed with the Nothing Community.
The phone’s Flip to Record feature lets users place the phone face down to start live transcriptions using Essential Space, requiring no screen interaction. A new caller ID function is also set to arrive soon, letting users long-press a dedicated Glyph button to reveal incoming contact details mid-call.
Inside, the Phone (3) is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, runs Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, and comes with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage. Its 6.67-inch AMOLED display supports up to 120Hz refresh rate and an eye-popping 4,500 nits brightness. There’s also IP68 protection, Gorilla Glass 7i, and triple 50MP rear cameras, including a periscope lens with 60X digital zoom.
Headphone (1): Transparent Audio With a Twist
Nothing’s first over-ear headphones continue the brand’s design-forward ethos, featuring a transparent body with physical controls — a Roller, a Paddle, and a Button — to adjust volume, switch ANC modes, or navigate tracks with tactile precision. The programmable button can also summon your voice assistant or trigger Essential Space on the Phone (3).
Engineered in collaboration with KEF, the custom 40mm driver aims to deliver rich bass, crisp mids, and detailed treble. There’s support for ANC, Transparency Mode, and Spatial Audio, with real-time environmental adaptation. Connectivity-wise, users get Bluetooth 5.3, LDAC, Hi-Res Audio, USB-C lossless playback, and even a 3.5mm jack.
Nothing also leverages AI-driven noise cancellation, trained on over 28 million noise profiles, to ensure calls stay clear even in chaotic environments. Battery life stretches up to 35 hours with ANC, and a 5-minute top-up offers nearly 2.5 hours of playback.
Finally, The India Prices Are Out
The Nothing Phone (3) will be available in Black and White and in two configurations — 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 512GB. Officially priced at Rs 79,999 and Rs 89,999, both variants will be offered at Rs 62,999 and Rs 72,999 as part of a limited-period launch offer via select bank EMI plans. Buyers who pre-book the device will also receive a free pair of Nothing Ear earbuds worth Rs 14,999.
Meanwhile, the Nothing Headphone (1) will retail at Rs 21,999, with an introductory offer of Rs 19,999. Both products go on sale in India from July 15 on Flipkart, Croma, Vijay Sales, and authorised offline stores.
