The tech world is buzzing with the arrival of Nothing's latest devices: the Phone (3) and the Headphone (1). Both were officially launched on July 1st, 2025, marking Nothing's entry into the over-ear headphone market and a significant upgrade to their smartphone lineup.

Nothing Phone (3): A True Flagship?

Nothing is marketing the Phone (3) as its first "true flagship" device. This suggests a step up in specifications and overall experience compared to previous models. The Phone (3) aims to deliver a high-end alternative in the smartphone market.

Key Specs and Features:

  • Processor: The Phone (3) is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. While not the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Elite, it's still the best processor Nothing has used to date and should provide ample power for most users.
  • Display: It features a large 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. The display has a "1.5K resolution" (2800x1260), a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, and is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i on the front and Victus on the back.
  • Memory and Storage: The Phone (3) comes in two configurations: 12GB of RAM with 256GB of storage, or 16GB of RAM with 512GB of storage.
  • Battery: A large 5150mAh battery (5500mAh in India) with super-fast 65W wired charging and 15W wireless charging should provide all-day battery life.
  • Cameras: The Phone (3) boasts a quad-camera setup, all with 50MP sensors. This includes a main rear camera, a periscope telephoto lens (with 3x optical zoom that can double for macro photography), an ultrawide lens, and a front-facing selfie camera. All four cameras can shoot 4K video at 60fps.
  • Software: The Phone (3) ships with Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15. Nothing is promising 5 years of Android updates and 7 years of security patches. The Phone (3) will also receive Nothing OS 4.0, based on Android 16, soon.
  • Design: The Phone (3) retains Nothing's signature transparent design, with a combination of layered metal and glass. The rear panel has an asymmetrical design. It also features an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
  • Glyph Interface: The Phone (3) evolves the Glyph Interface with a "Glyph Matrix," featuring 489 individually controllable LEDs for caller ID and app notifications. A new Glyph Button adds interactivity, allowing users to access tools, widgets, and "Glyph Toys".
  • Connectivity: The device features Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0.

Pricing and Availability:

The Nothing Phone (3) starts at $799 for the 12GB/256GB model. The 16GB/512GB model is priced at $899. Pre-orders begin on July 4th, with general availability starting on July 15th. It will be available in Black and White color options. The Phone (3) will be sold in the US, Europe, and the UK.

Nothing Headphone (1): Entering the Audio Arena

Alongside the Phone (3), Nothing has launched its first over-ear headphones, the Headphone (1). This marks Nothing's strategic expansion into the personal audio space.

Key Specs and Features:

  • Design: Staying true to Nothing's design philosophy, the Headphone (1) features a transparent design, allowing you to see the internal components. They also have tactile, physical buttons for easy control.
  • Audio Quality: The headphones are co-engineered with KEF and feature custom-tuned 40mm dynamic drivers for immersive sound. They support Hi-Res Audio, LDAC codec, and USB-C lossless playback.
  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): The Headphone (1) offers adaptive ANC with up to 42dB noise cancellation. It also has a transparency mode to stay aware of your surroundings.
  • Battery Life: The headphones pack a 1,040mAh battery. This provides up to 80 hours of playback with ANC off, or 35 hours with ANC enabled. A quick 5-minute charge provides 2.4 hours of playback with ANC on.
  • Connectivity: The Headphone (1) supports Bluetooth 5.3, Google Fast Pair, and Microsoft Swift Pair for easy pairing with devices. They also have a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired use.
  • Additional Features: The headphones include on-ear detection, a low-latency mode for gaming, and an LED charging status indicator. They also have an IP52 rating for dust and water resistance.

Pricing and Availability:

The Nothing Headphone (1) will retail for $299. Pre-orders start on July 4th, with general availability on July 15th. They will be available in Black and White color options.

With the Phone (3) and Headphone (1), Nothing aims to solidify its position as a brand that offers unique design, solid performance, and a user-centric experience.
