Nothing Phone 3, Headphone 1 Price in India, Specifications Launch Live Updates: Nothing introduced its highly anticipated Phone 3 as well as its first over-ear headphones called Headphone 1 at a launch event in London, United Kingdom on Tuesday, July 1.
The hardware startup founded by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, launched its new Rs 79,999 Nothing Phone 3 flagship — its most expensive smartphone to date — entering competition with established players like Apple and Samsung, known for their high-end devices.
“Phone (3) is built to show that there’s still room for joy, identity, and creativity in the tech we carry every day,” said Nothing CEO and Co-founder Carl Pei during the product launch event in London. “The phone builds on an idea we’ve had since Phone (1): turning the internal logic of the phone into something visual, emotional, and even architectural.”
The phone has a 6.67-inch OLED display and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. The brand is ditching the Glyph lighting system, previously used to alert users about notifications, and is introducing the new Glyph Matrix interface on the back of the phone.
The Nothing Headphone 1, on the other hand, features a distinctive design comprising squircle-shaped earcups, see-through elements, and support for a 3.5 mm audio cable. Its design resembles quirky cassette tapes, available in black or silver, with “Nothing Headphone 1” branding on one earcup and “Sound by KEF” on the other.

There are plenty of rumours floating around about what Nothing's first attempt at an over-ear headphones will look like. Based on the leaked renderings, it seems to be in line with the retro-futuristic styling of all of the company's products. After introducing the Nothing earbuds last year, the company has reportedly said that its upcoming headphones will be better than Apple's AirPods Max.
Stay tuned for the official first look of the Headphone 1 along with pricing and other specs.
Nothing Phone 3 will be public in a few hours. The predecessor to the smartphone, Nothing Phone 2, was launched on 11 July 2023. The device featured a 6.7-inch display and was powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Upon its launch, the device attracted positive user reviews with many raving about its build quality, performance, and display. The phone featured Nothing OS, which has been noted for its fluid interface.
Unlike previous models, the Nothing Phone 3 won’t have the company’s iconic Glyph interface. Instead will have a new design called “Glyph Matrix”.
This might be similar to ASUS ROG Phone 8’s Mini-LED programmable matrix. Like its predecessor, the upcoming phone is likely to feature a transparent back panel that shows the internals of the device.
There has not been much teased about the Nothing Headphone 1. Adam Bates, Nothing’s global design director, suggested that its buttons will feature distinct designs for each control function. Based on leaked photos and videos, the Headphone 1 will sport a squircle earcup with Nothing’s signature transparent elements as well as support for what appears to be a 3.5mm audio cable.
Pricing: Nothing CEO Carl Pei has previously said that the Phone 3 will be priced around £800 pounds, which currently translates to $1,063 or Rs 90,500, as per the current exchange rate. This would make it Nothing’s most expensive smartphone to date.
Performance: The company has confirmed that the incoming flagship will be powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset.
OS: Based on leaks and rumours, Nothing will come with the latest Android 16 out of the box. It has already announced that the Phone (3) will receive software support for a minimum of seven years, with five years of full Android OS updates and another two years of security patches only.
Camera alignment: It will also boast a 50-megapixel primary camera that has been “built for creators”. A leaked image reveals that the Phone (3) has a translucent back and three center-aligned cameras. However, another purportedly leaked image shows two cameras lined up next to each other and another that’s in the corner of the phone and not really aligned with anything else.
Design: Pei has said that Phone 3 would be designed out of “premium materials”. It will also likely sport a Glyph matrix on the top-right corner of the smartphone.
