The Nothing Phone (3) has arrived as the company’s first high-end device since 2023, and with its highest price yet at $799. Here’s what you need to know.

Nothing is calling the Phone (3) a “true flagship,” so let’s start with the specs. The device is powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage. There’s a 6.67-inch AMOLED display at 2800×1260 which Nothing calls “1.5K resolution.” The panel is 120Hz and hits 4,500 nits of peak brightness while using Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, and Victus on the back.

Under the hood there’s a 5,150 mAh battery (5,500 in India) using silicon-carbide tech. Nothing says charging hits 65W over USB-C while wireless charging (no Qi2) is at 15W.

Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5 powers the experience with 5 years of major Android updates and 7 years of security updates. This latest update to Nothing’s experience builds on Essential Space with a new “Flip to Record” option for AI summaries of real-life recordings, as well as adding in the new “Glyph Matrix” features.

The “Glyph Matrix” replaces the lighting found on the back of prior Nothing phones, with the dot matrix display being able to show new information such as the time, as well as including “Toys.” These mini-apps include a spin the bottle game. Developers can create their own “Toys,” with Nothing having already launched Magic 8 Ball and Leveler apps that were made by its community. Nothing says that a Caller ID will also be coming to the Matrix “soon.” To interact with the Glyph Matrix, there’s a touch-sensitive area on the back of the device that acts as a button.

Nothing OS 3.5 also brings some other key improvements, such as a new Smart Search feature that can open apps, Google, or AI search depending on what you type in.

Lastly, the cameras include four 50MP sensors in total. There’s a main rear camera, 3x telephoto lens which can double for macro photography, as well as an ultrawide lens. The front-facing sensor is also 50MP, and all four can shoot in 4K with 60fps video.

Nothing Phone (3) will be available in black and white color variants and will sell for $799 in the US, with availability on Nothing’s website and Amazon. Pricing in Europe and the UK will also be €799/£799. Pre-orders will open on July 4 with availability starting on July 15.
