Nothing Debuts the Headphone (1) and Phone (3)
Summary
Nothingis set to unveil its latest flagship smartphone, the Phone (3), alongside its first over-ear headphones, Headphone (1), marking a bold expansion of the brand's product ecosystem.
As Nothing's first entry into the over-ear audio category, the Headphone (1) is designed in collaboration with British audio brand KEF. It features 40mm dynamic drivers, AI-powered adaptive noise cancellation and a transparent, retro-futuristic aesthetic reminiscent of cassette tape players. The earcups are shaped with squircle geometry and include tactile controls for playback and volume. It's complete with up to 80 hours of battery life without ANC and support for Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair.
The Phone (3) introduces a refined design language and upgraded internals, positioning itself as the company's next flagship product. It evokes an 'intentional aesthetic,' reflecting the brand's commitment to thoughtful industrial design. The device features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. A standout feature is the new Glyph Matrix — a micro-LED interface on the back that replaces the previous Glyph lighting system, offering glanceable notifications, progress indicators and interactive tools.
The smartphone also includes a triple 50MP rear camera setup – main, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto – alongside a 50MP front-facing camera. It supports 4K/60fps video across all lenses and introduces AI-powered features like Flip to Record, Essential Space and Essential Search for smarter organization and contextual search. Running on Nothing OS 3.5 (based on Android 15), the Phone (3) promises five years of OS updates and seven years of security patches.
