Nothing Phone 3 Launched In India: Check Official Specifications, Features, And Price In India

Nothing has officially lifted the curtain on its most ambitious smartphone to date—the Nothing Phone 3—during its Come to Play event in London on July 1. This launch marks a notable milestone, as it also represents the company's first formal step into the U.S. market, featuring open sales and full carrier backing. Pre-orders in India go live today, July 1, while global customers will be able to place their orders starting July 4. 

Here's everything you need to know about the Nothing Phone 3.

A New Design Identity: The Glyph Matrix

Building on its signature look, Nothing has replaced the old Glyph Interface with a fresh micro-LED rear panel called Glyph Matrix. By keeping the panel deliberately low-resolution, the brand captures a retro dot-matrix vibe that mirrors its overall software aesthetic.

Key Glyph Matrix features include:

• Customizable visuals and animations
• Utility tools like a stopwatch, a battery meter, a clock, and a mirror
• Simple games dubbed Glyph Toys, including Snake
• Per-contact notification previews and charging indicators
• Open SDK for community-built apps and games

Because Glyph Matrix is more than a show-off, it also converts the phone's rear panel into an interactive screen.

Dual-Side Displays and Camera Upgrades

The Nothing Phone 3 now houses two displays, giving the rear Glyph Matrix the role of a useful second interface. Front and centre sits a 6.67-inch OLED panel with:

• 4500 nits peak HDR brightness
• 1600 nits HMB brightness
• 30Hz–120Hz adaptive refresh rate
• 2160Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort
• Ultra-slim 1.87mm bezels
• IP68 water and dust resistance
• 18% thinner build than Phone 2

Triple rear 50MP Camera System

The rear setup features three advanced 50MP sensors:

• 50MP main sensor (1/1.3”, OIS)
• 50MP periscope camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS
• 50MP ultrawide lens

Selfie shooter

The front selfie camera features a 50MP wide-angle with a 114-degree view

All lenses can record 4K at 60 fps, and they carry pro-designed presets inherited from the Phone 3a.

Performance: Powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 4

At the heart of the Nothing Phone 3 sits the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, delivering benchmarks like these:

• 60% faster CPU
• 88% faster GPU
• 125% improved photo processing (compared to Snapdragon 8s Gen 3)

AI Features in Nothing OS 3.5

Running Nothing OS 3.5 on Android 15, the device rolls out fresh AI tools for speedier, smarter use:

• Essential Space: An AI-powered productivity dashboard
• Essential Search: Fast, context-aware search across apps and files
• Flip To Record: AI-enabled auto-record feature for audio and meetings

Nothing has confirmed that Android 16 and OS 4.0 will land in Q3 2025, backed by long-term software support:

• 5 years of Android updates
• 7 years of security patches

Battery, Charging, and Variants

The Phone 3 houses a silicon-carbon battery for greater efficiency:

• India variant: 5,500mAh
• Global variant: 5,150mAh
• 65W fast wired charging
• 15W wireless charging

Final Thoughts

The Nothing Phone 3 lives up to the company's reputation of bold design and genuine usefulness. Its customisable Glyph Matrix, dual displays, and cutting-edge AI tools set it apart from most competitors. With flagship internals, polished software, and solid after-sales care, Nothing offers more than a device-it offers a conversation starter for passionate users. Whether you want distinctive style, long-lasting quality, or pure speed, the Phone 3 deserves a close look in the 2025 premium phone segment. However, we feel that the price of the Nothing Phone 3 is higher than our expectations and could lead to fewer audience opting for this smartphone.
