With the third generation of its smartphone series, nothing made an unusual step to launch the cheaper ‘A’ line, unveiled earlier. Now, this is the time for its latest head. Nothing starts at the phone 3, $ 799 (with $ 899 option with 16 GB RAM) goes against veterans such as Google and a competitive slices in the world of smartphone. Once again, however, there is nothing in the market that does not look enough, as the company attempts to balance the specific design with flagship (nothing else and nothing—flating-flagship) components.
The major change this time is that anything behind the device is swaping the glowing lights of its glyph interface for a small dot-matrix display and calling it a gliff matrix.
This is nothing of the shiny design of the phone 3. The matrix is made up of 489 LEDs, and provides more utility than a light show. Nothing says that the development of the glowing lights of this glyph interface is somewhat more practical. With the purpose, there is a glyph button that sits under the glass. Another benefit of this innings, Adam Bates, that the removal of Gliff Lights made more space inside the phone.
When some contacts are calling, instead of having lights on the back flash in the pattern to indicate, the new small screen of the phone 3 can display monochromatic images instead. First, these will be the preset shape, but finally, you will be able to adapt your own animation (or static dot-matrix image-this clear) for each of your contacts. Before the launch, it does not share anything that takes people to take photos and converts them into a glyph pattern, but it is like a very, very small gamboy camera (but worse). The little I have taken, looks like my head? I think? At least one contrast, and gives a glimpse that the user may be able to show on the matrix screen
With glif-style notifications, matrix will be able to display simple widgets, such as weather and battery levels. It can be a stopwatch, and even a low-rage mirror (later more on it). It can also be used as a visual vomiting count when using a timer with the camera. And even there will be games, such as rock-paper-canchi and ER, spin the bottle. Thankfully, nothing tested the media assembled at his big global launch. You will be able to create your own glyph through an SDK. It will be interesting to see how difficult it is to program your own glyph. You know what I want, already? A .
My first perception is that this is slightly more restrained than the light show of the Gliff Interface on the previous phone. Additionally, a dot-matrix design actually aligns with the era of design motivations that there is nothing. You can interact lightly with the matrix through the glyph button, which is intimately formed under the rear cover of the Nathing Phone 3. This is a single button, so learning a long-repres and short-press querk, especially when there is no touch reaction, takes a little time.
Impressed by other curious photographers, youtubers and media, I took some time to work as gliff mirrors. Funny, you cannot use it as a selfie guide with primary cameras, or at least I didn’t find out how to do during my hands.
In other places, the design is inspired by the lines and shapes of the New York City Metro Map, while the back-three of the phone 3 has a three-column design that divides the component decreasing, camera module and glyph matrix.
The phone 3 is not yet the thinnest phone and is 18 percent thinner than the phone 2. Nothing new, also in flagship also lacks a camera unit which is on the phone 3A Pro. This is because this time, there is no budget to do this: the cost of the phone 3 is $ 350 more, so it can use small (even custom-made) components to shrink the footprint.
Instead, the three-camera layout gives me a great reminiscent of the latest Galaxy S24 Ultra, with only a little protriveing camera lens. It is not flush, but perhaps I am asking too much – the only contemporary smartphone with flat camera unit is Pixel 9A.
Despite its slimmer profile, the device still has a periscope zoom on the 50-megapixel sensor. It goes up to 3x optical zoom, 6X digital zoom and 60x AI super race zoom. (Yes, we all blame Google and Samsung for this nonsense.) It will also serve as a macro camera, which will allow for close-up shots.
The main camera is also 50MP, including f/1.68 aperture (nothing says that this phone is 70 percent faster than the 2) and even includes a defective 1.5X zoom. There is also an ultravide camera with a view of 114 degrees and, you must have guessed, a 50MP sensor. Even the front-faceing camera is 50MP. Expect the normal Android array of shooting facilities in the camera system including auto tone, portrait optimizer, night mode macro mode and action mode. There are also many shooting presets to browse for your favorite shooting beauty, which I enjoyed playing with a demo unit.
I hope that the phone 3 will be a competent enough smartphone camera. During a busy hands-on season at the launch event, taking some early shots, the camera app looked faster than the previous equipment and the low-patch processing looked very close to Google’s Pixel’s choice.
Imaging usually nothing has been the weakest part of the phone strategy, but each recurrence it becomes better. This is something that I am eager to put in the exam. Nothing has been added to an LED light that shines red to indicate video recording. It can still be disabled in settings, but it is a good touch that taps in red splash that you will see in hardware and software of nothing.
The phone 3 also packs the company’s most bright display, its maximum brightness reaches 1600 notes in settings, at 4,500 notes with compatible HDR materials, at the peak, a 6.67 -inch screen has a 1.5k resolution compared to the phone 2. There is also an IP68-rated security against dust and water.
Rounding the spec sheet, the phone has a Snapdragon 8S General 4 processor, which marks the largest agreement this year. I was not told anything that the phone was not chasing glasses like 3 phones, which cost several hundred dollars more. However, the Galaxy S25 has a more powerful Snapdragon 8 elite, and it also has $ 800.
The good news is that the phone 3 should not be conceptually slow or dull – the company says that this phone is five times faster than 3A. Nothing added, there should be 60 percent improvement on AI performance compared to the phone 2. I am inspired to see how the fare of the battery life is, but not very worried. OnePlus 13 Pro had the same processor and performed very well in our battery Randdown Test.
The 5,150mAh silicone-carbon battery can be charged up to 50 percent in 20 minutes with a compatible 65W charger, and up to 100 percent within an hour. It is one of the first phones coming to the west with a silicon-carbon cell, so that the battery life will perform well, further. There is also 15W wireless charging, which is not exclusive to its most premium phone.
The phone runs Android 15 out of the 3 box, but with nothing on things, is characterized by custom icons and native apps. This includes the required location, which works with the hardware button launcher introduced on the first 3A. While there were rumors that nothing could be converted into membership, it would be free to the future of the future. However, smart collections, which were to hit screenshots and other files, are still being worked and will not be available at launch.
Focus, software-wise, new glyph matrix can be, but you can expect some specific A-assisted features such as the discovery of natural language that does not say anything required. This will not be able to tap in everything on the phone 3. Anything cheap 3A device is also bent in software, but the phone is more important on glasses with 3. The question is: Is this flagship enough?
The phone 3 is priced at $ 799 with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. A $ 899 model will also launch with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Both the Black and White versions will be available for pre-ordering on 4 July, in which the sale will start from July 15. The company plans to launch its drops in select physical locations on 10 July.
