The next-generation flagship smartphone from UK-based tech brand Nothing is officially set to launch on July 1, 2025. The Nothing Phone 3 marks a significant departure from the company’s previous aesthetic, notably eliminating the Glyph Interface — the signature LED-based design language introduced with earlier models.
Overview of Nothing Phone 3 Launch
- Launch Date: July 1, 2025
- Price (Expected): Around GBP 800 (~Rs 90,000)
- Where to Buy: Available via Flipkart in India
- Operating System: Nothing OS 3.0, based on Android 15
- Processor: Likely a flagship Snapdragon chipset
- Design Highlight: Modular industrial design without Glyph lights
Redesigned Aesthetic: No More Glyph Interface
In a teaser image shared on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption “ultra-precise engineering,” the company revealed a partial view of the Phone 3's back panel. The teaser shows a simplified, minimalistic design that embraces straight lines, a mechanical layout, and a dual-tone color scheme.
This marks a clear move away from the transparent and LED-illuminated back panel that previously set Nothing phones apart. Instead, the Nothing Phone 3 introduces a modular rear layout, hinting at better repairability and a utilitarian build.
