London-based tech brand Nothing has officially launched its most ambitious products to date in Malaysia โ€” the flagship Nothing Phone (3) and its first over-ear audio device, Headphone (1). With a vision to redefine user experience through expressive design, intuitive features, and AI-driven interactions, the launch marks a significant milestone in the brandโ€™s evolution.

Nothing Phone (3)

The Phone (3) represents Nothingโ€™s leap into the flagship category, bringing together premium hardware, high-end photography, intelligent software, and a standout design. Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, the Phone (3) boasts up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, delivering 36% more CPU power and an 88% boost in GPU performance over its predecessor.

The 6.67-inch AMOLED display features a crisp 1.5K resolution, a peak brightness of 4500 nits, 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and ultra-narrow 1.87mm bezels on all sides for a 92.89% screen-to-body ratio. Coupled with 2160Hz PWM dimming and Ultra HDR support, the visual experience is vibrant and eye-friendly.

The rear camera system introduces a 1/1.3โ€ sensor with lossless optical zoom, full optical image stabilization, and 4K 60fps recording across all lenses. Designed in collaboration with pro photographers, it comes with built-in cinematic presets to streamline content creation.

At the heart of the Phone (3) lies the all-new Glyph Matrix, a programmable LED interface that provides glanceable notifications, real-time progress indicators, and even micro-games. New tools like Glyph Toys and contact-based pixel avatars offer a fresh way to interact with the device โ€” no screen required.

On the software side, Nothing OS 3.5, based on Android 15, integrates AI features such as Essential Search, Flip to Record, and Essential Space โ€” an AI-powered second brain for notes, reminders, and content summaries. The OS is built for simplicity, creativity, and personalization, with a promise of 5 years of Android updates and 7 years of security patches.

Powering it all is a 5150mAh silicon-carbon battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging.

Phone (3) will be available in black and white starting at RM3,299 (12GB + 256GB) and RM3,799 (16GB + 512GB), with exclusive early sales kicking off on July 19 at CROSSOVER Sunway Pyramid, followed by open sales from August 1 at online platforms and major retailers.

Introducing Headphone (1): Over-Ear Audio, Reinvented

Alongside the Phone (3), Nothing also debuted Headphone (1), its first over-ear audio product designed in collaboration with legendary British audio company KEF.

Headphone (1) combines aesthetics with acoustic precision, featuring transparent components, aluminium detailing, PU memory foam cushions, and oil-resistant, ergonomic ear cups for all-day comfort. Unlike typical headphones, it replaces touch gestures with physical tactile controls โ€” the Roller, Paddle, and Button โ€” offering reliable, intuitive interaction.

Internally, the 40mm custom dynamic drivers deliver a rich soundscape with deep bass, balanced mids, and crisp highs, backed by KEFโ€™s proprietary tuning. Spatial Audio, LDAC, USB-C lossless audio, and a 3.5mm jack ensure high-fidelity wired and wireless playback.

Headphone (1) is also equipped with advanced adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and a 4-mic AI ENC system trained on 28 million noise profiles for crystal-clear calls. A single charge offers up to 35 hours of playback with ANC, while a 5-minute charge gives 2.4 hours of use.

The highlight is the Adaptive One-Tap AI Button, which activates Infinixโ€™s Folax assistant, triggers voice notes via Essential Space, and even cycles through favourite apps using Channel Hop. Audio customization is enabled through an 8-band EQ in the Nothing X app.

Headphone (1) is priced at RM1,099 and will be available in Black and White. Pre-orders start on July 12 with free protective covers, and general availability begins on August 1.

Availability

Both Phone (3) and Headphone (1) will be sold through Nothingโ€™s official online stores (Nothing.tech, Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop), authorised retailers (DirectD, TMT, Urban Republic, Vivid Concepts, and more), and select telco partners including U Mobile and Yes5G.
