Nothing Phone (3) UK release date and how to pre-order the new flagship phone
Today marks the death of Nothing's Glyph interface and the emergence of a new flagship smartphone.
Today, Tuesday 1st July, Nothing has announced its latest flagship smartphone. However, the Nothing phone as we know it is changing...
Every tech giant has its flagship device: for Apple, it's the Apple iPhone 16, Google has the Google Pixel 9, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 is Samsung's flagship smartphone. Now, Nothing has revealed that its true flagship phone, the Nothing Phone (3) will be released for pre-order later this week.
Speaking about the new device, Nothing's CEO Carl Pei said: "We really have to outperform our previous flagship, so compared to Phone (2) it’s going to be 36% faster on CPU, 88% stronger on GPU, and 60% stronger on the NPU. But what it means in practice, it will feel a lot snappier".
As well as the Nothing Phone (3), the London-based tech company is also releasing its first product in the over-ear headphone category, the Nothing Headphone (1).

What does the new Nothing Phone (3) design look like?
As we mentioned earlier, the Nothing smartphone as we know it, has changed...
There were signs this shift was going to happen; in May, Nothing posted a teaser for the new Nothing Phone (3) on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption: "We killed the Glyph interface", and Nothing's CEO Pei responded to the tweet saying "RIP".
The new Nothing Phone (3) features a new design without the Glyph interface — light-up panels which are synonymous with the Nothing Brand — on the rear of the smartphone. However, there is a Glyph Matrix in the top right corner. This Glyph Matrix offers an interactive option for smartphone users looking to get quick updates without using the main display, as this interface lights up depending on what notifications have come through.
You can purchase the Nothing Phone (3) in White and Black colourways.
What is the Nothing Phone (3) camera layout?
The new flagship smartphone will boast a 50MP telephoto camera and 50MP main camera.
The camera's layout has shifted from the camera bump to a triple-rear camera, which sees two sensors sat below a third, all out of alignment.
What are the Nothing Phone (3) specifications?
As Nothing's CEO Pei said: "We really have to outperform our previous flagship", which means the Nothing Phone (3) will be 36% faster on CPU, 88% stronger on GPU, and 60% stronger on the NPU in comparison to the Nothing Phone (2).
The Nothing Phone (3) comes in at 6.7-inches with an FHD+ OLED display.
The upgrade will also see Nothing Phone (3) users get a 5,150mAh silicon-carbon battery, which will keep you going throughout the whole day, with 65W wired and 15W wireless fast charging.
This new smartphone also makes the most of AI with some brand-new features, such as Essential Search, a universal smart search bar which allows you to search across contacts, photos and files, Flip to Record, a tool which swiftly transcribes and summarises meetings, and Essential Space, a central place for your ideas, notes, and content, all organised by AI.
