Nothing Phone 3 Debuts in India with Updated Glyph Interface and Refined Design

After months of leaks and speculation, the highly anticipated Nothing Phone 3 has officially launched. The global unveiling took place in London, with India being one of the first markets to receive it—underscoring the country's importance to the brand.

Nothing Phone 3 India Price and Availability

The Nothing Phone 3 is priced at Rs 79,999 for the base variant (12GB RAM + 256GB storage), while the top model with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage is priced at Rs 89,999. However, with bank discounts and exchange bonuses, the effective price can drop to Rs 62,999 for some buyers.

The device will go on open sale starting July 15 on Flipkart and select retail stores. Pre-bookings begin from July 1, and those who pre-book will get the Nothing Ear earbuds for free along with an extra one-year warranty.

Global Pricing and Headphone 1 Launch

Globally, the Nothing Phone 3 is priced at 799 Euros. Alongside the phone, the company also launched the Nothing Headphone 1 in India, priced at Rs 21,999, but available at an introductory price of Rs 19,999. Internationally, it costs 299 Euros.

Nothing Goes Premium with Phone 3

With the Phone 3, Nothing enters the premium flagship segment, aiming higher than its predecessor, the Phone 2. The new device boasts upgraded hardware, better software integration, and a bold design approach to set it apart from mainstream competitors.

Specifications and Performance Boost

The Nothing Phone 3 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a high-end processor designed for flagship-level performance. It features a 6.67-inch OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, offering crisp visuals and responsive touch.

The phone runs Nothing OS 3.5, which includes new AI-enhanced features to improve the user experience. Backing it all is a 5500mAh battery, ensuring all-day power.

Major Camera System Overhaul

Nothing has made significant improvements to the camera setup. The Phone 3 now houses a triple 50MP camera array, including a periscope lens that offers 3X optical zoom. The ultra-wide lens is also 50MP, promising enhanced low-light and landscape photography. A unique addition is a red recording indicator that lights up when the camera is capturing video.

Redesigned Glyph Matrix Interface

One of the biggest changes in the Phone 3 is the new Glyph Matrix design. Replacing the previous linear LED lights, the Phone 3 now features a circular matrix of 489 customizable micro-LEDs on the top-right of the back panel.

A new physical button on the back lets users interact with and control the Glyph Matrix, toggling between different light patterns for notifications, calls, or even timer functions.

Bold and Asymmetrical Camera Design

In a move likely to stir debate, Nothing has gone for an asymmetrical camera layout, breaking the industry’s traditional symmetry norms. The design gives the phone a unique, edgy personality, unlike anything else on the market. While it may not be to everyone’s taste, it certainly reinforces Nothing’s commitment to design disruption.

Sale, Offers, and Early Bird Benefits

The Nothing Phone 3 will be available from July 15, with pre-bookings starting July 1. Customers who pre-book will receive Nothing Ear earbuds and a one-year extended warranty for free—making it a compelling early purchase offer.

Conclusion

The Nothing Phone 3 elevates the brand into flagship territory with powerful specs, a reinvented Glyph Matrix design, and premium pricing. Its bold aesthetic choices and hardware upgrades could help Nothing carve a unique space in the competitive Indian smartphone market.
