Camera Setup: Triple 50MP and Periscope Surprise 

Nothing is holding back this time. The triple 50MP rear setup includes 

  • 50MP OIS Main sensor 
  • 50MP OIS Periscope lens (likely for 3x to 5x zoom)
  • 50MP Ultra-Wide 

Even the Selfie shooter gets a 50MP upgrade, promising crystal-clear video calls and vlog content. With OIS on both main and periscope lenses, low-light and zoomed-in shots are expected to be sharper and more stable

Battery & Charging: Smarter Power Management 

The 5500mAh silicon-carbon battery is a huge step forward from standard lithium-ion, offering longer battery life and faster energy density. Paired with 65W fast charging, your phone will be charged up in under 45 minutes.

Glyph Matrix: Just a Gimmick or Functional UI?

With 489 individually firing LEDs, the Glyph Matrix now becomes more than just a visual gimmick. It adds functional controls, recording indicators, and even customizable notifications. Nothing has created a unique blend of form and function, though how useful it truly becomes will depend on third-party support and software updates.

Software Experience: Clean, Fast & Minimalist 

Nothing OS 3.5, based on Android 15 continues the brand’s focus on bloat-free, clean software. With Essential Space and Essential Search, the UI experience remains clutter-free and efficient. The promised Nothing OS 4.0 (Android 16) update in Q3 2025 ensures long-term support.
