Nothing Phone 3 is launching on July 1, and the company has teased the phone in its recent post on X, showing off a new feature called the "Glyph Matrix."
The previous teaser shared by the company suggested that the Phone 3 could drop the glyph interface, and fans were left confused if the company was planning something bigger and better than glyph or doing away with its trademark design. Now, the latest teaser from Nothing reveals what looks like a more evolved version of its famous light system.
The teaser image depicts a glowing pixel-like design, maybe on the rear of the gadget, that appears like a robot or a bug. It has little white lights on it and shows up in the top right corner of a dark phone. The post says, "When light becomes language." The Glyph Matrix is here. Phone (3): "1 July."
The Glyph Matrix is probably an improved version of the Glyph Interface, which was a prominent component of previous Nothing flagship phones. They were LED strips that flashed and pulsed for calls, notifications, charging, and other things in that system.
The Glyph Matrix might let you make your own patterns, icons, or animations, giving you more ways to use your phone without having to turn on the screen. Nothing else has come out regarding the Phone 3 design. But this latest teaser makes it seem like the firm is once again focused on design and user experience as its major selling points in a congested smartphone market.
Nothing has confirmed that the Phone 3 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip.
The last post dropped by the company on X suggested a massive design shake-up. It was a close-up shot of the new design language with clean lines and a circular cutout. Not much was revealed in the photo, but it suggested that Nothing is working on a new design philosophy for Phone 3, possibly with a new camera set-up and new interactive elements.
As the debut date gets closer, more information is likely to come out. For now, the Glyph Matrix tells us that Phone 3 will help Nothing do things differently, both in terms of how they seem and how they work.
