A leaked photo of the upcoming Nothing Phone (3) has provided us with a sneak peek at Nothing’s sleek new flagship smartphone. However, it seems that something is missing from the image.
We have received confirmation directly from Nothing that they are removing the iconic Glyph lighting system, which many are happy to see go. The leaked image render from journalist Max Jambor seems to support this decision, as there are no flashy lights visible in the image.

Enter the dot-matrix
Reports suggest that Nothing may be introducing a new dot-matrix lighting system to replace the Glyph system on the back of the phone. However, this feature is not visible in the leaked render.

Nothing Phone (3) design and potential specs
The design of the Nothing Phone (3) features a subtle camera module, in contrast to the more prominent module on the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro. The individual camera mounts stand out on the back of the phone.
Nothing’s founder, Carl Pei, has mentioned that the Nothing Phone (3) is expected to be priced around £800, positioning it as the company’s first true flagship smartphone. The device promises premium materials, significant performance enhancements, and upgraded software.
The official launch of the Nothing Phone (3) is scheduled for July 1, 2025, at 6pm BST (UK time).
