London-based technology company Nothing Tech, recently announced the imminent arrival of two highly anticipated products: the Nothing Phone (3), its first true flagship smartphone, and Nothing Headphone (1), its debut over-ear headphones to the Middle East. Proudly bearing Nothing’s commitment to pushing boundaries in design, performance, and user experience, both devices aim to deliver Nothing’s distinct approach to personal technology.
Nothing Phone (3): A True Flagship to Inspire Your Creativity
Nothing Phone (3) redefines what a flagship smartphone can be, blending bold design, cutting-edge hardware, and innovative features that empower users to create, connect, and express themselves like never before.
An Evolution in Design
Nothing Phone (3) builds on Nothing’s iconic design language with a refined tri-column layout inspired by modern architecture. Its ergonomic R-angle shape improves comfort, while uniform 1.87mm bezels frame a stunning 6.67” AMOLED display for an immersive edge-to-edge experience. The new Glyph Matrix, a micro-LED interface on the back, introduces smarter notifications, app-specific alerts, and playful tools like Glyph Toys, which include Stopwatch, Solar Clock, and Spin the Bottle.
“Tech has become boring; every phone looks the same, feels the same, does the same,” said Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing. “That’s why we took our time. Nothing Phone (3) is our answer: a flagship built to make tech feel personal again.”
Performance That Keeps Up With You
Powered by the latest Snapdragon® 8s Gen 4 chipset, Nothing Phone (3) delivers next-gen image processing, faster AI performance, and ultra-smooth gaming. Compared to Phone (2), it offers a 36% increase in CPU power, an 88% GPU boost, and 125% faster image recognition. Paired with up to 16GB of RAM and a high-density 5150mAh silicon-carbon battery, Nothing Phone (3) ensures seamless multitasking and all-day power. It supports 65W wired fast charging (full charge in just 54 minutes) and 15W wireless charging.
A Camera System Built for Creators
Designed for creators, Nothing Phone (3)’s pro-grade camera system includes a class-leading 1/1.3” main sensor, lossless optical zoom, and full optical image stabilization. Capture sharp, steady 4K 60fps video across all lenses or achieve cinematic looks with presets developed in collaboration with professional photographers.
Nothing OS 3.5: Designed for Focus
Built on Android 15, Nothing OS 3.5 offers a fast, fluid experience rooted in utility and intentional design. Features like Essential Search (a universal smart search bar), Flip to Record (for instant transcription of conversations), and Essential Space (an AI-powered hub for notes and ideas) bring simplicity and focus to everyday interactions. Nothing guarantees five years of major Android updates and seven years of security updates, ensuring longevity.
Nothing Headphone (1): Designed to Be Seen, Tuned to Be Heard
With Headphone (1), Nothing enters the over-ear audio category, combining expressive design, immersive sound, and intuitive controls. Developed in collaboration with legendary audio innovator KEF, Nothing Headphone (1) sets a new benchmark for over-ear listening.
Iconic Design Meets Comfort
Featuring transparent elements, formed aluminium, and PU memory foam, Nothing Headphone (1) is crafted for both visual impact and all-day comfort. Oil-resistant ear cushions mold naturally to the listener’s head, providing a secure seal for immersive sound and reduced ear pressure. Every detail, from the lightweight construction to the telescopic arms, is designed for durability and ease of use.
“With Nothing Headphone (1), we set out to create something that doesn’t just sound great, it feels different the moment you pick it up,” said Adam Bates, Head of Design at Nothing. “From the tactile controls to the transparent construction, every detail is intentional.”
Sound Engineered for Immersion
Leveraging KEF’s six decades of expertise, Headphone (1) features custom-built 40mm dynamic drivers for rich, natural audio with deep bass, detailed mids, and crisp treble. Spatial Audio with built-in head tracking transforms stereo sources into 360-degree soundscapes, adapting in real-time to the listener’s movements. Hi-Res Audio, LDAC, USB-C lossless playback, and a 3.5mm jack ensure exceptional sound quality across all modes.
Tactile Controls for Precision
Moving away from traditional touch interfaces, Headphone (1) integrates physical controls – the Roller, Paddle, and Bufton – directly into its design. These allow precise volume adjustments, media navigation, and ANC mode switching without guesswork.
Advanced Noise Cancellation
Dual feedforward and feedback microphones dynamically adapt ANC to changing environments, while Transparency Mode keeps users aware of their surroundings. A best-in-class 4-mic ENC system, powered by AI trained on over 28 million noise scenarios, ensures crystal-clear voice capture during calls.
Battery Life That Keeps Up
Enjoy up to 35 hours of listening time with ANC on, and a quick 5-minute charge provides 2.4 hours of playback. Bluetooth 5.3, dual-device connection, and Fast Pair support ensure seamless connectivity.
