Nothing Phone 3 to Feature New Glyph Matrix LED Interface on the Rear Panel

Nothing's upcoming flagship, the Phone 3, will be unveiled on July 1. As we wait for the official reveal, the Carl Pei-led company continues to offer new details about the handset. After confirming the chipset and software update policy of the Phone 3, Nothing has posted a new teaser video that shows the feature that'll replace the Glyph Interface. The upcoming handset will get a new LED element on the rear panel, similar to the Asus ROG series phones.

Nothing, on X, revealed that the Phone 3 will feature a "Glyph Matrix" interface at the rear, distinguishing it from previous Nothing Phone 2 and Phone 1 models. The new LED interface replaces the company's Glyph interface. Instead of the Glyph LED interface, the new phone appears to use a dot-matrix panel, which is located in the top right corner of the rear panel.

The Glyph Matrix is likely to display animations, call notifications, battery level, time and other alerts. Asus's gaming-oriented ROG Phones also feature a dot matrix system on their rear panel with mini-LEDs for animations and interactions.

More details about the Nothing Phone 3's design remain unknown for now, but we can expect the company to drop more teasers in the lead-up to its launch.
