Nothing Phone 3 has arrived, and despite imprints of the Nothing design, it’s quite a different story from its predecessor, the Phone 2.
The Carl Pei-led British company has shed its Glyph Interface, the signature style on Phone 1 and 2, and adopted the new Glyph Matrix. The first flagship from the Nothing stable also comes with major upgrades in optics and other specs.
Here’s a look at how Nothing’s Phone 3 and Phone 2 stack up against each other.

The Phone 2 sported the Glyph Interface, which was a collection of LED lights that lit up to reflect calls, notifications, and battery status. The Phone 3 introduces the Glyph Matrix design, which offers visual and audio notifications, along with interactive features and customisation. There is a new camera arrangement as well.
Nothing Phone 3 Vs Nothing Phone 2: Camera
The Phone 2 has a dual camera set comprising 50MP primary and ultrawide sensors, paired with a 32MP front camera. The Phone 3 introduces a new 50MP periscope camera in addition to 50MP primary, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP selfie shooter.
