The Phone (3), listed under the model number A024, will come with a 5,150mAh battery, which is a decent upgrade over the 4,700mAh cell on the Nothing Phone (2). While it may not beat the battery capacities of some Chinese flagships, it stacks up well against phones from Apple and Samsung.

Charging also sees a big improvement. The wired fast charging speed jumps from 45W to 65W, making it the fastest-charging Nothing phone yet. Wireless charging is likely to be included again, though official details on that are still under wraps.

The FCC documents also confirm that the Phone (3) will run Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.3 out of the box. Connectivity won’t be an issue, as the phone supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, and NFC.

Nothing Phone (3) – New Glyph Matrix Display on the Back

One of the more exciting updates is the introduction of a new circular secondary display on the back, called the Glyph Matrix. According to Adam Bates, design director at Nothing, this new dot-matrix-style screen replaces the previous LED strip Glyph Interface and aims to feel “more expressive, playful and personal.”
