Nothing Phone 3 may abandon its trademark Glyph design. Learn about Nothing’s first flagship device

On May 29, 2025, London-based tech company Nothing teased that its upcoming flagship device, the Phone 3, might do away with its hallmark Glyph interface. First unveiled with the Phone 1 in 2022, the distinctive lighting system on the back, paired with a transparent design, helped the brand carve out a unique identity in the smartphone space.

On Thursday, Nothing announced on X (formerly Twitter), “We killed the Glyph Interface.” The Glyph system served multiple functions, displaying charging progress, indicating the arrival of an Uber or food delivery, alerting users to calls, notifications, and more.



If this move is indeed final, the Nothing Phone 3, set to launch in July 2025, could mark a major design shift, possibly replacing the Glyph system with a new dot matrix-style display or another standout feature.

The Phone 3 is set to be Nothing’s first true flagship, crafted with high-end materials, packed with significant performance boosts, and powered by software designed to deliver a next-level experience.

If the rumors hold true, the Nothing Phone 3 could pack some serious flagship power. It’s expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 (also referred to as the Snapdragon 8 Elite), paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. A sizable 5,000 mAh battery is also likely on the cards.

On the camera front, the Phone 3 might feature a 50 MP triple rear setup, potentially including a dedicated telephoto lens, along with a 32 MP front-facing camera for selfies. The display is also rumored to get a major upgrade, a 6.78-inch flexible LTPO AMOLED panel with a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate and an impressive peak brightness of 3,000 nits.

Nothing is also expected to launch their first headphones with the device in July.
