The Nothing Phone (3) just made its unofficial debut in a set of official-looking renders. These confirm that the previously leaked render of the device was indeed fake. Unfortunately, though, the actual design may not be much better. In fact, it looks even more polarizing.
Right off the bat, it’s the camera layout that’s drawing the most attention. The Phone (3) features a triple rear-camera setup consisting of a main, ultrawide, and telephoto sensor.
Nothing Phone (3) looks more polarizing in new renders
For some reason, Nothing has placed the telephoto unit (the one on the top) toward the edge of the device. It doesn’t even align with the other two sensors and looks just as off-balance in the render as it sounds.
It’s an unusual placement that breaks the visual symmetry, and not in a particularly elegant way. Also, while Nothing claims to have reduced the camera bump by 74 percent, the main sensor still protrudes enough to be noticeable.
Design-wise, the phone retains the transparent aesthetic Nothing is now known for. Of course, the Glyph Lighting is gone, which is replaced by the new “Glyph Matrix” dot-matrix display in the upper-right corner.
Specs-wise, Nothing has already confirmed a few details. The Phone (3) will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and will receive 5 years of major OS updates and 7 years of security patches.
On the confirmed hardware front, we’re looking at a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, and rumors suggest the other two sensors will also be 50MP. The battery is expected to be a 5,150mAh unit, with 100W wired charging and 15W wireless. The display is expected to be a 6.7-inch OLED with FHD+ resolution and a standard 20:9 aspect ratio.
Nothing plans to announce the Phone (3) officially on July 1 at 18:00 BST (that’s 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT in the US). Until then, these renders are probably the clearest look we’ll get of the upcoming device.
