Nothing has finally launched its flagship smartphone – the Nothing Phone (3) in India and the global markets, alongside the Nothing Headphone (1).

Developers will get access to a Glyph SDK to build custom experiences. It runs on Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5, promising a clean UI and long-term support – 5 Android OS upgrades, and 7 years of security patches, a first for Nothing.

The front is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, while the rear gets Gorilla Glass Victus, all wrapped in a body with IP68 water and dust resistance, available in Black and White colors.
The smartphone is powered by a 4nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 octa-core SoC paired with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM + 512 GB UFS 4.0 Storage, Adreno 825 GPU, and packs a 5,500 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 65W fast charging (100% charge in 54 minutes), 15W wireless charging, and 5W reverse wireless charging. The Battery Health Magic system helps prolong battery lifespan, while Bypass Charging reduces heat during gaming sessions. Other highlights include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and dual 5G SIM support (Nano + eSIM), stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and USB Type-C audio support.
Commenting on the launch, Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, said, “Tech has become boring; every phone looks the same, feels the same, does the same. That’s why we took our time. After two years of focused development, Phone (3) is our answer: a flagship built to make tech feel personal again. To spark creativity, reflect identity, and give people more control over how they connect and create. At Nothing, we don’t follow trends, we build with intention, and we build with our community.”
