Nothing says that the Phone 3 is its “first true flagship phone,” and it has put its money where its mouth is. The Phone 3 is the first Nothing phone to ditch the Glyph interface, an abstract pattern of LED dots and strips that became Nothing’s design trademark when the Phone 1 launched in 2022. In its place is something smaller and subtler: a circular dot matrix display dubbed the Glyph Matrix. Nothing’s design language is all about details and doohickeys that draw the eye and hint at the hardware underneath. But it’s distinctive, and the Glyph Matrix could be powerful if you take the time to customize it.
