Nothing Unveils Its Most Advanced Android Phone Yet

Nothing has launched its most advanced phone yet, the Nothing Phone (3), at an event in East London.
Described as the company’s first true flagship, it features a bold new design, powerful AI, Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 chip, triple cameras with 60x zoom, and a 6.67-inch AMOLED display.
The highlight is the Glyph Matrix, a smart LED ring on the back that shows alerts, battery levels, timers, and even fun tools like a selfie mirror or spin the bottle.
It packs a 5,150mAh silicon-carbon battery with fast charging (50% in 19 mins), 15W wireless charging, and long-term support with 5 years of Android updates and 7 years of security patches.
With this launch, Nothing is clearly ready to compete with the biggest names in smartphones.
