The much-anticipated Nothing Phone 3 has officially launched in India today at 10:30 PM IST, creating ripples in the premium smartphone segment. Following the success of its predecessors, Nothing has once again combined minimalist design with cutting-edge technology—this time with even more power under the hood and a light-infused twist on its signature design.
Design That Speaks Loudly—Silently
At first glance, the Nothing Phone 3 retains the brand’s iconic transparent design, but it’s more refined than ever. Crafted with Gorilla Glass on both sides and an aluminum frame, this phone doesn’t just feel premium—it screams innovation. The highlight is the 11 customizable LED light strips on the back, offering 33 addressable zones for notifications, calls, and camera fill lights. The blinking red light for video recording is a subtle yet thoughtful touch for creators.
Despite the futuristic aesthetics, the Phone 3 is built to last. It’s rated IP64 for dust tightness and water resistance against splashes, making it durable for daily use.
A Display Made to Dazzle
The Phone 3 features a stunning 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display supporting 1 billion colors, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+. Whether you’re binge-watching, gaming, or just scrolling, the 1920Hz PWM dimming ensures less eye strain and more visual comfort. With a 20:9 aspect ratio and 1080 x 2412 pixel resolution, it delivers rich contrast and vibrant detail at nearly 400 ppi.
Power Meets Performance
Running on Android 15 and powered by Nothing OS 3.5, the device promises a clean, bloat-free experience with up to 5 years of major updates. Under the hood lies the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (4nm) chipset, backed by an Adreno 825 GPU and octa-core CPU with a blazing-fast Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.21 GHz. From multitasking to gaming, the Phone 3 handles everything like a pro.

There’s no microSD slot, but the built-in storage should be more than enough for most users.
