Nothing Reinvents Design with the Glyph Matrix

N(caps)othing’s ditched the old Glyph Interface and gone full sci-fi with this new “Glyph Matrix” on the Nothing Phone 3. Imagine a compact circle packed with 489 teeny micro LEDs, all twinkling away to show you stuff like charging status, time, alerts, and even little animations.

It feels like your phone’s winking at you.

Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Fuels High-End Performance

Under the hood, you’ve got the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. This chip? Total beast. You can throw heavy games, 4K video edits, or a million open apps at it, and it’ll just shrug and keep going. Plus, with up to 16GB RAM, lag is basically a myth now. Multitasking is smooth, AI features are smarter, and yeah, gaming feels console-level. No joke.

1.5K AMOLED Display Offers Visual Brilliance

The display’s a feast for your eyeballs—6.67 inches of AMOLED goodness, 1.5K resolution, and a wild peak brightness of 4,500 nits (seriously, good luck using this outdoors and not getting blinded). It’s got HDR10+, 120Hz adaptive refresh, and the bezels are barely there. They slapped Gorilla Glass 7i on the front and Victus on the back, so you don’t have to baby it (but, like, maybe don’t throw it off a rooftop).

Triple 50MP Rear Cameras and Advanced Selfies

Cameras? Triple 50MP setup on the back—main cam with OIS, a 3x periscope telephoto, and an ultra-wide to round things out. You’re covered for everything from close-ups of your cat’s whiskers to those epic landscape shots. And the selfie cam? Also 50MP. Your face never looked so HD. Throw in Pro Mode and some AI scene wizardry, and even your grandma could take a decent shot.

India-Exclusive Features: Battery & Charging

Nothing Phone 3 vs Global Variant

Oh, and if you’re curious about the global version, in the UK, the 256GB model’s going for GBP 799 (that’s like Rs. 93K). The Indian version actually gets a bigger battery and extra 5G bands, so it’s not just a straight copy-paste. Nice to see a brand actually tweaking stuff for local markets.
