The Nothing Phone (3), its latest premium phone, goes on pre-sale today (July 2). A review is still a few weeks away. Nothing Headphone (1) is also on pre-order.
Nothing is a London-based brand that set out to disrupt the smartphone market. It has achieved this by clever and interesting design, with its Glyph Lights (now a Glyph screen) and numerous added-value features in its User Interface, surpassing those of Android.
Below are the basic Nothing Phone (3) specifications
We must add that it’s a pleasure to see a company willingly provide a full set of specs.

CyberShack’s view: Nothing Phone (3) is impressive
OK, it’s not quite as powerful as the Samsung S25, but it offers a very attractive package, with a PWM-friendly 10-bit screen (Samsung’s is 8-bit and not PWM-friendly). Nothing OS offers a lot of value-added features, and the 2+5+7 warranty, OS, and patch are very good. And you get a lot more for the price.
Nothing also released the $549 Headphone (1), a premium Bluetooth/ANC over-ear headphone co-designed with KEF UK. It supports Hi-Res Audio, LDAC, USB-C lossless playback, and a 3.5mm jack – wired or wireless. It looks very good and will have Sony and Bose worried. Review soon.
