The Nothing Phone 3 might have the weirdest camera design out there
Earlier this month, I wrote about a leaked image of what was rumored to be the Nothing Phone 3. That image showed a design with a translucent back and three center-aligned cameras. But a new set of supposed Nothing Phone 3 images reveal a different design — with one of the wildest camera layouts I've ever seen. Renders from Android Headlines show a phone with a translucent back but three cameras in a weirdly separated layout. Instead of a neat triangle like on Pro iPhones or the camera bar on Pixels, these renders show two cameras lined up next to each other and another that's in the corner of the phone and not really aligned with anything else. It's kind of like the bold camera layout for the Nothing 3A Pro, but even bolder. Details from teases directly from Nothing indicate that these renders could be representative of the real deal. Yesterday, for example, Nothing posted an image of the Phone 3's 50MP periscope lens on X, and its placement and design appear to match up with one of the cameras in the renders from Android Headlines. Nothing has also teased something it calls the 'Glyph Matrix' on the top-right corner of the phone, and Android Headlines' renders include an element that looks like it could be the Glyph Matrix in that same spot. We don't have long to wait to see if these renders are an early look at the phone's design. Nothing is set to fully reveal the Phone 3 – and the translucent, over-ear Headphone 1 headphones – on July 1st.

Nothing's Phone 3 Hasn't Even Launched and It's Already Pissing People Off
Nothing's Phone 3 hasn't officially launched yet, but thanks to what looks like a major leak from Android Headlines, the internet—as it often does—is having some discourse . Just like with Nothing's incoming Headphone 1, leaks suggest that the company is taking a pretty big swing on the design for its flagship phone, and I'm not sure if that swing is quite connecting. Name a bigger downgrade — Noah Cat (@Cartidise) June 26, 2025 One of the biggest changes is that the Glyph Interface is dead. Last month, Nothing posted on X: 'We killed the Glyph Interface.' That design feature—a bunch of LED lights on the back of the phone that flash for notifications and timers—will be replaced with a small dot matrix display in the phone's top right. If the new 'Glyph Matrix' is as capable as its predecessor is anyone's guess, but it definitely has much smaller footprint. Just take a look for yourself: When light becomes language. Introducing the Glyph Matrix. Phone (3). 1 July. — Nothing (@nothing) June 19, 2025 With that shift away from a large Glyph Interface, there also seems to be a big aesthetic tweak to how the phone's backplate looks. For some devices, switching up the backside of the phone might not be a big deal, but Nothing has made something of a name for itself with its 'transparent' design, so it's only natural that fans might react strongly to any tweaks. And react strongly, they have… Honestly, I'm at a loss for words. I haven't seen a design downgrade this disappointing in a long time. It's almost as if a 10-year-old was handed a puzzle and while all the pieces fit together, the end result just doesn't look right at all. Credits: — Chandan (@that_chand) June 26, 2025 For the record, it's not 100% confirmed if this is truly what the Phone 3 will look like when it's released early next month, but if it is, it's certainly going to polarize fans. To me, it looks a lot like the Phone 3a, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but maybe a strange choice if you want to differentiate your flagship phone from your more midrange-focused device. The element that seems to be dividing everyone is how the periscope zoom lens (that's the one shown in the upper left corner of the leaked images) is misaligned with the main and ultrawide lenses. Why is it off-kilter? It looks like a design mistake. In portrait or landscape orientation, it just looks… strange. And think about what kind of weird-ass cutout cases will need to have to protect around the three camera lenses. To be fair, the Phone 3a Pro also has a misaligned periscope zoom lens that turned heads but also turned people off. Nothing's always found creative—and sometimes cringey—ways to build up buzz for its new product launches, and by going with such a bizarre camera lens design, it's definitely generated a lot of opinions on both sides of the spectrum. One thing I will say is that I really don't love the camera system. Like the Phone 3a Pro, the Phone 3 appears to include a periscope camera, which is great for enhancing optical zoom but also juts out slightly from the device. Personally, I find its presence in a camera system kind of annoying—I said as much when I reviewed the Phone 3a Pro when it came out. I'm not saying solid optical zoom isn't nice to have—it is—but for me, the footprint that it leaves on a phone or camera module is too great to justify the benefits. But hey, different strokes for different folks. I've seen some evangelists out there, too, so it's too early to say whether this thing is really going to rub people the wrong way, though there is a pretty vocal chorus of critics right now. Unpopular opinion but I absolutely love the design of the Nothing Phone (3). I feel that the Glyph Matrix will be more useful. The camera setup looks unlike anything else. Flat metal sides & thin bezels are good too. #Phone3 — Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) June 27, 2025 I guess we'll find out soon whether it's a hit or a miss, so if you're not a fan, try and save some of that heat for the phone's official reveal on July 1. If you love this thing, then get ready to defend it or just put your money where your mouth is and buy one at what's expected to be flagship pricing.

Nothing Phone 3 may offer bigger battery, faster charging: What to expect
Nothing Phone 3 will reportedly pack a 5,150mAh battery and may support 65W wired charging, offering significant improvement over its predecessor New Delhi Nothing's upcoming flagship smartphone, the Phone 3, is expected to bring major upgrades in battery capacity and charging speeds. According to a report by The Tech Outlook, Nothing Phone 3 has appeared on the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification website, revealing key details. The listing suggests that it will pack a 5,150mAh battery and support 65W wired charging. In comparison, the Nothing Phone 2 features a 4,700mAh battery with 45W wired charging. For the uninitiated, Nothing is set to launch the Phone 3 at its 'Come to Play' event on July 1. The event will also mark the debut of the company's first over-ear headphones, the Nothing Headphone 1. Nothing Phone 3: What to expect Ahead of the launch, Nothing has already confirmed several key features. The Phone 3 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, promising improved overall performance and enhanced on-device AI capabilities. The company has also announced a long-term software commitment for the Phone 3—five years of OS updates and seven years of security patches—making it the longest-supported device in Nothing's line-up to date. The recent FCC listing also suggests that the smartphone will feature Wi-Fi 6E with triple band support. Design-wise, Nothing has confirmed the Phone 3 will feature the new 'Glyph Matrix' system, replacing the previous Glyph Interface found on earlier models. The Glyph Matrix appears to be a dot-matrix-style LED display positioned near the top-right corner of the rear panel. This new interface may support a wider range of functionalities, such as custom animations and possibly even basic interactive experiences like mini-games. Nothing Phone 3: Expected specifications Display: 6.77-inch LTPO AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, 3000nits peak brightness Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 RAM: 12GB Storage: up to 512GB Rear camera: Triple camera set up with 50MP primary Front camera: 32MP Battery: 5150mAh Charging: 65W wired, 20W wireless

Nothing phone 3 leak reveals 5,150mAH battery and 100W charging ahead of launch
Nothing Phone 3 battery and charging leaks: Nothing Phone 3 battery and charging leaks are raising eyebrows just days before its official launch in India. Recent regulatory filings reveal a 5,150 mAh battery—bigger than its predecessor and most rival flagships—and breakthrough 65 W wired charging, with rumors of up to 100 W fast charging, outpacing major rivals in endurance and speed . These power-centric upgrades, alongside wireless and reverse charging options, position the Phone 3 as a serious contender for long-lasting performance. With Nothing's signature Glyph Matrix design, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 powerhouse, and extended software support, the Phone 3 is set to challenge premium expectations. Stay tuned to see whether this will be the ultimate blend of power, speed, and innovation. Nothing Phone 3 launch date Come to (3). 1 July, 18:00 BST. On July 1, the Nothing Phone (3) is scheduled to launch. The tipsters have already leaked the device's specifications and full design before the major announcement. Nothing Phone 3 battery and charging leaks This story, which includes information regarding the Nothing Phone 3's specifications, including its battery, charging speed, and even the model number that the business has disclosed, has referenced the FCC file. According to reports, the Phone 3 will have a 5,150mAh battery, which is slightly larger than the Phone 3a series and even 300mAh larger than the company's Phone 2 model. Based on these figures, it seems doubtful that anything will use silicon carbide technology for its battery, which would have allowed a 6,000mAh device, similar to the OnePlus 13, to be housed in a small design. The tipster's prior battery information indicated that with the most recent improvements, it appears improbable that anything could support a 100W charging pace. Nothing Phone 3 expected price Two versions of the Nothing Phone (3) may be available: a base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage and a top-tier model with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The device is expected to cost US $799 (about Rs 68,000), but it will probably cost less in India. Carl Pei, the inventor of Nothing, had previously alluded to a more upscale pricing approach, speculating that the phone may cost about GBP 800, or over Rs 90,000 in Indian currency. However, that kind of price increase from the Nothing Phone 2's initial launch price of Rs 44,999 could not sit well with Indian consumers and isn't even feasible. Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000 is a more affordable price range, making sense if the business wishes to stay competitive. For the latest and more interesting tech news, keep reading Indiatimes Tech.
