Nothing Phone 3 to come with innovative Glyph Matrix feature

Besides Phone 3, Nothing Inc is slated to launch new headphone early next month in London.

With less than two weeks left before the launch of the premium Phone 3 series, Nothing Inc. has revealed that the upcoming device will come with a new innovative notification feature.

Last month, Nothing Inc. made a startling announcement that it would ditch the Glyph UI in Phone 3.

The Glyph user interface is very unique to Nothing Phones. The Phone 2 and the previous iteration came with LED strips on the back panel and around the camera module. They are optimised to deliver synchronised light-based notifications for emails and other updates.

Just by looking at the fading light, phone owners would know the estimated time of arrival of a cab on the Uber app or the status of the food delivery booked through the Zomato app or the timer's countdown.

Now, the company says that the Glyph UI will be replaced with Glyph Matrix.

In the teaser, the phone flashes a dot matrix-based animation in the top right corner of the phone. However, we are not sure if this feature is on the front panel or the rear side.

The company has intentionally placed two buttons each on the left and the right side to confuse the fans on where the new feature will be placed.

If it is in the back panel, the company may have used a secondary display just for notifying users of a call or message.

That said. The animation looks cool and is sure to find traction among youth.

Last week, company co-founder Carl Pei revealed that the Nothing Phone 3 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset.

The new Phone 3 will offer better performance than its predecessor. Compared to the Phone 2, the successor promises to deliver 36 per cent faster in terms of CPU performance, 88 per cent better GPU performance and 60 per cent stronger on the NPU front.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 comes with Snapdragon Elite Gaming features, including the Qualcomm Adaptive Performance Engine and Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2.0. They work in tandem to deliver ultra-smooth, high-performance gaming sessions while significantly enhancing power efficiency.

Nothing Phone 3 will run Android-based NothingOS and will support several generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI) features.

Nothing Inc co-founder Carl Pei has also confirmed that the new Phone 3 will cost around £800 (approx. Rs 91,336).

Besides the Phone 3 device, the London-based company will be launching headphones on July 1.

More details will be revealed in the coming weeks, as the company is known to reveal key features as it gets closer to the launch day.
