Phone (3) brings a polarizing look, to say the least. Nothing went with a three-column grid look with an off-centered periscope zoom camera sticking out on the top-right corner. It\u2019s different from what we\u2019ve seen on past devices from the brand and it certainly stands out from the crowd of competitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_003.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3) and its Glyph Matrix\" width=\"317\" height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-x238\/gsmarena_003.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_002.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3) and its Glyph Matrix\" width=\"317\" height=\"238\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-x238\/gsmarena_002.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>Nothing Phone (3) and its Glyph Matrix<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The big addition this year is the Glyph Matrix. The signature Nothing Phone glyph interface is now shrunk to a monochrome display made up of 489 LEDs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_004.jpg\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3) hands-on\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It does more than just notifications as you can assign custom images, animations and app-specific messages. There\u2019s even a pair of games &#8211; Spin the Bottle, Rock Paper Scissors and Magic 8 Ball. Nothing is releasing its developer SDK today so we\u2019ll see even more clever ideas here.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_005.jpg\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3) hands-on\"\/><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a dedicated Glyph Button \u2013 a capacitive circle located beneath the Glyph Matrix. It gives off a vibration and allows you to scroll through the different modes and features.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on, Nothing upgraded the cameras, bringing four 50MP shooters. The back houses a 1\/1.3&#8243; main sensor with OIS alongside a 3x periscope zoom module and a 114\u02da  ultrawide lens. You also get a 50MP selfie cam.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_010.jpg\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3) hands-on\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The front is dominated by a 6.67-inch AMOLED \u2013 same size as the Phone (2) but with slimmer bezels. It\u2019s advertised to reach 4,500 nits of peak local brightness and features FHD+ resolution, along with an adaptive 30-120Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_006.jpg\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3) hands-on\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The hardware feels familiar to past Nothing phones. The frame is made from aluminum, the back features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, while the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i. Also noteworthy is the upgraded IP68 ingress protection, which is a first for any Nothing phone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image-row clearfix\">&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_007.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3)\" width=\"206\" height=\"155\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-x155\/gsmarena_007.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_012.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3)\" width=\"206\" height=\"155\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-x155\/gsmarena_012.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<a onclick=\"javascript:ShowImg2(&quot;news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-1200x900m\/gsmarena_014.jpg&quot;);return false\" href=\"#\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nothing Phone (3)\" width=\"206\" height=\"155\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/07\/nothing-phone-3-hands-on\/inline\/-x155\/gsmarena_014.jpg\"\/><\/a>&#13;<br \/>\n<br \/><span><strong>Nothing Phone (3)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>A few quick words on the software. We\u2019re running Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15.

As usual, we\u2019ll bring you a detailed review with all of our tests once we have our review unit back at HQ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/nothing_phone_3_handson-news-68454.php\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing has a new flagship phone &#8211; say hello to the Nothing Phone (3).
