Nothing's first over-ear headphones leak ahead of July unveiling
Nothing has probably made its biggest impression in the tech world with its distinctive mid-range Android phones (like the 3a Pro pictured above). But the UK-based brand's first product was actually wireless earbuds, and now it's preparing to unveil its first over-ear headphones on July 1. As is often the way, though, we don't have to wait until then to get our first look at the upcoming cans, as pictures have leaked online ahead of the London launch event. As you'd expect from a Nothing product, the Headphone 1 – if these leaked images are indeed legitimate – looks like nothing else on the market. A number of photos uploaded to Instagram by Nothing Fan Blog show off a typical transparent design, which looks a bit like someone has glued a cassette tape to a slab of smooth metal. It looks like the headphones will be available in black/gray and silver/white colorways. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. It's hard to determine what materials Nothing has opted for from the leaked photos, but it looks like there are at least three buttons: two on the side of the left earcup and one on the top. In one photo you can also see a wire attached to the bottom of the headphones, so presumably they'll have a 3.5mm connector. Again, we don't know for certain if this is the final design of the Headphone 1, but aesthetically speaking they could definitely stand out in what is an enormously crowded market. Nothing CEO Carl Pei confirmed that the Headphone 1 will arrive on July 1 alongside the brand's new flagship phone, the Phone 3, during a live appearance at SXSW in London earlier this month. Engadget's Igor Bonifac was impressed by Nothing's Phone 3a and 3a Pro when he reviewed both phones earlier this year, with the caveat that they carry a limited US warranty.

Nothing Phone 3 to feature 'Glyph Matrix': What is it and how it may work
The Glyph Matrix appears to be a dot-matrix display replacing Nothing's signature Glyph Interface, and may support interactive features like mini games Harsh Shivam New Delhi British consumer technology brand Nothing has previewed its new 'Glyph Matrix' system, set to debut with the upcoming Nothing Phone 3. In a teaser shared on X (formerly Twitter), the company showcased what appears to be a dot-matrix-style LED display embedded near the top right corner of the phone's back panel. The teaser was accompanied by the phrase 'When light becomes language,' hinting that the new interface could support more than just notification alerts—possibly including custom animations or even simple interactive features like mini games such as Snake. This marks a major design shift from the Glyph Interface, which has been a core visual identity of Nothing Phones since the original model. The Glyph Interface used LED strips to provide visual feedback for notifications, charging status, and countdowns. The new Glyph Matrix, by contrast, appears to be a grid-based layout, suggesting a more versatile and dynamic use of lighting. Nothing is not the first company to experiment with a dot-matrix style display on the back of a smartphone. ASUS already offers a similar lighting system on its ROG phones, known as the AniMe Vision display. Nothing 'Come to Play' event: Details Nothing is set to launch the Phone 3 at its 'Come to Play' event on July 1. The event will also mark the debut of Nothing's first over-ear headphones, the Nothing Headphone 1. Date: July 1 Time: 10:30 pm IST Venue: London, UK Products: Nothing Phone 3, Headphone 1 Nothing Phone 3 Design: What to expect The new Glyph Matrix is shown to be placed near the top left of the back panel in Nothing's teaser, which raises questions about the final design—especially since previous reports suggested a triple rear camera housed in a circular module at the top centre. However, the Phone 3 is still expected to continue with Nothing's trademark transparent back panel. At last month's Android Show: I/O Edition, Nothing CEO Carl Pei offered a blurred look at the Phone 3 and described it as the company's first 'true flagship.' He also hinted at a more premium design incorporating glass and metal. Nothing Phone 3: Expected specifications Nothing recently confirmed that the Phone 3 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. The company claims this offers major performance gains over its predecessor—up to 88 per cent improvement in GPU performance, 33 per cent in CPU output, and 125 per cent jump in NPU efficiency for AI tasks, compared to the Phone 2. The new chip is also said to deliver better power efficiency and camera processing. Additionally, the Phone 3 will offer five years of OS updates and seven years of security patches, making it the longest-supported device in Nothing's line-up to date. Here are the expected specifications of the Nothing Phone 3: Display: 6.77-inch LTPO AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, 3000nits peak brightness Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 RAM: 12GB Storage: up to 512GB Rear camera: Triple camera set up with 50MP primary Front camera: 32MP Battery: 5000mAh Charging: 50W wired, 20W wireless

Nothing drops the light act with Phone 3, invites you to enter the glyph matrix now
Mark your calendars — Nothing's highly anticipated Phone 3 is officially launching on July 1. And if that wasn't enough to get tech fans talking, Carl Pei's company has been busy stirring up even more excitement with new teasers and tidbits about its next flagship handset. In the run-up to the unveiling, Nothing has already confirmed the Phone 3 will be powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and will come with a serious commitment to software support, promising five years of Android updates and seven years of security patches. But the latest teaser reveals something even more eye-catching: a whole new glyph is dropping its familiar Glyph Interface this time around. Instead, the Phone 3 will feature a so-called 'Glyph Matrix' at the top right of its rear panel — a dot-matrix style LED array that looks surprisingly similar to the playful mini-LED systems you'd usually find on gaming phones like Asus's ROG series. Nothing posted a video on X, teasing this refreshed interface, which will add a new visual language to the device. With this setup, the Phone 3 is expected to display more intricate animations for notifications, incoming calls, battery status and time. Whether you receive a message or need a subtle visual cue to remind you to charge up, the dot-matrix LEDs will likely offer an even greater range of customisable effects. Elsewhere, other design specifics remain under wraps for However, these teasers all point to a handset that will look and feel noticeably different from its predecessors. The transition to a pixel-style light grid hints at Nothing's interest in making the back of its phones more interactive, allowing for clever visual prompts that go beyond the existing Phone 3: What to expectBeneath this flashy exterior, the Nothing Phone 3 is expected to come equipped with some serious hardware. Thanks to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, this device is tipped to excel at multitasking, gaming and power-hungry apps alike, perfect for everyday use as well as more intense tasks. The camera setup is rumoured to feature a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilisation for crisp and stable photos, and there's also talk of a periscope-style telephoto lens for better zoom performance. Paired with a hefty 5,000mAh-plus battery, the Phone 3 looks built to last a full day or more between the screen? Leaks suggest a generously sized 6.77-inch AMOLED display, promising vivid colours and deep contrasts that will make streaming and scrolling a the Nothing Phone 3 is likely to land at around 800 or approximately Rs 90,000, placing it firmly in premium flagship territory. Given its eye-catching design, strong specs and long-term software promises, Nothing clearly hopes this will be one of this year's most sought-after phones.

Nothing Phone 3 says goodbye to Glyph Interface, hello to Glyph Matrix
TL;DR Nothing teases its upcoming Phone 3 with a new design element called 'Glyph Matrix.' The teaser suggests dot matrix-style lighting on the back of the device, potentially for more intricate light patterns. Previously leaked renders of the Phone 3 do not align with the newly teased Glyph Matrix design. In typical Carl Pei fashion, the Nothing Phone 3 hype train is at full speed. We've just about recovered from the heartbreak after learning about the Phone 3's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, and the company is now back with another teaser. This time, it's teasing the Phone 3's Glyph Matrix. There's very little to see here since it's just a teaser, not a full reveal. The Phone 3's back will seemingly sport the new Glyph Matrix lights in the top right corner. This appears to be an evolution of the company's signature Glyph Interface, which the company has said is dead. Nothing has also changed the profile photo of its social media handles to this particular logo, and now we understand that it's part of the Glyph Matrix design: Notably, this Glyph Matrix does not align with the alleged Phone 3 renders, as there is no such LED setup on the back of the leaked device. Eagle-eyed enthusiasts had pointed out that the alleged Phone 3 renders looked a lot like Phone 3a prototypes, and it's looking increasingly likely that that's the case. If we can speculate, we could see a dot matrix-style LED setup on the back of the Nothing Phone 3, allowing users to create more intricate patterns than they could with the Glyph Interface on previous Nothing flagships. It would be cool if users could map notifications to this Glyph Matrix. For instance, showing off a dot matrix-style WhatsApp logo every time you get a WhatsApp message would be pretty neat. We now wait for Nothing to share more information about the Phone 3. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

'My patience is running thin': Nothing CEO explains why he's fed up with obsession over mobile processors
'What's up with the smartphone industry? Why are people so hung up on the processor?,' These are a couple of questions that Nothing CEO Carl Pei posed during a recent podcast video on the Nothing channel whilst discussing the upcoming Nothing Phone 3. For those uninitiated, this topic was discussed because the company announced that the Nothing Phone 3 is going to feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, and not the Snapdragon 8 Elite , which is the current flagship. This prompted many people to voice their opinions on social media, as Nothing is marketing the Phone 3 as its first flagship-grade smartphone but chose not to include a flagship chipset. In the podcast, Pei compared the processor of a smartphone to the engine of a car. He stated that when people look at new cars, they consider the overall vehicle. They might look at the zero to one hundred acceleration time, but he has not often seen people questioning why a particular engine was or was not used. Pei explained that, just like in a car, the engine is an important component, but what also matters is how the rest of the car is built, the aerodynamics of the design, and how well the engine integrates with other parts. He then mentioned that some companies manufacture smartphones with very good chips but fail to optimise the software, resulting in lagging or overheating. Pei concluded by saying, "My patience is running pretty thin on this topic." Pei also mentioned how some companies work on the strategy that involves 'spiking the experience.' This could include spiking on the camera or making the processor the standout feature. 'We're going to use these products for hours, every single day. So, for us, it's about creating this holistic experience that shouldn't have any immediate downsides, and everything should be pretty good. So that's kind of how we approached it.' He said that if someone only wants a phone with a fast processor, there are plenty of other brands to choose from. And if the priority is just the best camera, there are options for that too. But for those looking for a balanced, well-thought-out experience, the Phone 3 could be ideal. Mobile Finder: iPhone 16 LATEST Price, Specs And More
