Nothing Phone (3) Design Leaks Again, 50MP Periscope Telephoto Lens Officially Confirmed With First Camera Samples

Highlights

• Nothing Phone (3) new leaked renders show a bold design with a floating “Glyph Matrix” display, spread-out camera layout, and off-white/black colour options.
• Nothing officially confirmed a 50MP periscope-style telephoto lens with early samples suggesting macro capabilities too.
• The phone is all set to launch set for July 1.

Nothing Phone (3) launch is just around the corner and the last few weeks have been quite buzzy. Multiple leaks have tried to give us a first look at the upcoming Nothing flagship but without any certainty. In the meantime, the brand has been consistently sharing teasers about the phone, keeping fans on the edge. But out of everything, it seems we might finally have a good look at the real Nothing Phone (3) from a trusted source.

Nothing Phone (3) Design Leak

A new set of images shared by Android Headlines shows what’s likely the final design of the upcoming phone. The good thing is, it lines up perfectly with Nothing’s recent teasers.

Why do we think this leak is the real deal? For starters, it matches hints shared by Nothing including that teaser for a telephoto camera, the new “this button”, and even the placement of the model number.

There’s also a unique close-up shot labelled “tuned” in previous teasers, though that one might actually be from the Headphone (1).

The leaked photos show a bold and original design, something that Nothing is known for. One big change is that the cameras aren’t grouped together in one corner like before, they seem more spread out.

Also, the new “Glyph Matrix” display appears in the upper corner and seems to float on its own.

You can spot the device in off-white and black in the leaker renders, and the side profile confirms the main cameras stick out quite a bit from the back. It’s certainly different from the more toned-down Phone (3a) Pro, which drew some mixed reactions. Let’s see how fans respond this time.

Meanwhile, in the build-up to its July 1 launch event, Nothing has officially confirmed that Phone (3) will include a 50MP periscope-style telephoto lens. This is something that was missing from the previous model. The company calls it a camera “built for creators” in the caption of the X (formerly Twitter)post, though they haven’t said what the zoom level is yet.

Nothing also shared some early camera samples, and while it’s hard to tell the exact zoom in these photos, it looks like the telephoto lens will double as a macro shooter just like on the Phone (3a).

Carl Pei even shared a sample shot himself, adding to the buzz. Pei didn’t mention any details of the phone and simply posted the camera samples, getting tons of responses.
