Nothing Phone 3 & Headphone 1 Launched: Bold Design, Smart Features, Clean Aesthetic

In a highly anticipated global launch event, Carl Pei’s Nothing introduced its third flagship smartphone — Nothing Phone 3 — and its first over-ear headphones, Nothing Headphone 1. The brand stayed true to its design-first philosophy, bringing transparency, minimalism, and innovation to the forefront. The Phone 3 boasts refined hardware and software, while the Headphone 1 targets audiophiles with high-performance audio tech in a striking design.


🔶 Glyph Matrix Gets Smarter

The signature Glyph Interface on the rear has evolved into a Glyph Matrix, offering custom lighting zones that allow for more precise app notifications, progress indicators, and timer tracking — all without unlocking the phone. This new interface blends utility with aesthetics, letting users interact visually and intuitively.


🔷 Power & Performance Boost

Nothing Phone 3 is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, ensuring flagship-tier performance while optimizing battery life and thermals. Paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, the device is built for multitasking, gaming, and long-term software support. The Nothing OS 3.0, based on Android 15, introduces widget stacking, AI summarization, and a more customizable home screen experience.


🔶 Design: Transparent Yet Tough

The design remains striking — transparent back, metal frame, and eco-conscious materials. The Phone 3 is lighter yet more durable, with Gorilla Glass Victus protection and IP54 water resistance. The revamped camera module features a 50MP Sony IMX890 primary sensor and ultra-wide lens, backed by improved computational photography.


🔷 Audio Revolution: Headphone 1

The Nothing Headphone 1 is the brand’s first over-ear headset, featuring Active Noise Cancellation (up to 45dB), 40mm dynamic drivers, dual-device connectivity, and a 24-hour battery life with ANC. Transparent earcups, intuitive touch controls, and fast wireless charging round out the premium feature list.


🔶 Price & Availability

  • Nothing Phone 3 starts at ₹39,999 for the base 8GB/128GB variant.

  • Nothing Headphone 1 is priced at ₹14,999 in India.
    Pre-orders begin on July 5, with open sales via Flipkart and Nothing's official site starting July 12.


🔷 Looking Ahead

With the Phone 3 and Headphone 1, Nothing has reinforced its brand identity — daring to be different while delivering substance. As competition tightens in the smartphone and audio markets, Nothing’s blend of clean design, purposeful features, and community-first marketing might just keep it ahead of the curve.
