Nothing Phone 3 Is Out Now, Swaps Glyph LEDs for a 'Glyph Matrix' Screen
The new Nothing Phone 3 is here, hailed as the brand's top device yet. It sports a big design shift, swapping the old Glyph Interface for a fancy new micro-LED screen named the Glyph Matrix. It brings in a fresh triple camera setup and is fully set for a US release.
The Glyph Matrix A Handy Back Screen
The big update here is the Glyph Matrix. This back screen rocks a low-res, old-school dot design. It goes past just showing simple light alerts from older versions, adding new uses. Hit a button on the back to change modes:
- Battery Level
- Timer
- Mirror
- Digital and Solar Clocks
- "Glyph Toys" - cool games made just for it
The Matrix still does what old Glyphs did, like special alerts and status updates. Nothing also put out a Glyph Matrix SDK, so fans can make new games and features for it.
