Nothing to see here: Leaked Nothing Phone 3 render confirms death of the Glyph (Update: Or does it?)

Nothing Phone 3’s back panel design has leaked in a new render.
The render confirms the removal of Nothing’s signature Glyph lighting system, though the back panel still retains a quirky design.
The Nothing Phone 3 is confirmed to launch on July 1, and is expected to bring a flagship-grade camera, a flagship chip, and a large battery for about $800.

Update, June 10, 2025 (02:31 PM ET): Earlier today we got a peek at some very professional-looking imagery that purported to depict the upcoming Nothing Phone 3. And while we’re still waiting for confirmation on exactly how this phone will appear, some eagle-eyed Nothing fans have already come up with an alternate explanation for what the image may show.

Earlier this year, Nothing shared the above video showing off its approach to designing the Phone 3a, including a look at the many prototypes along the way. If jump ahead to the 6:23 mark, you’ll notice a handset on the table that bears a striking resemblance to this new render (Thanks: Eyal-M on Reddit).
