“I didn’t get to hold the Phone (3), but I saw what it stood for.”

On July 19th, I was invited to the launch of Nothing Phone (3) in Kuala Lumpur — not just to see a product, but to witness a mindset.

It wasn’t about specs (though it had them).
It was about the way the lights blinked like language.
About how it made a crowd pause — curious — in a world that scrolls too fast.

Phone (3) isn’t here to compete on specs alone — it’s here to make tech feel human again.
Nothing’s craft is always surrounded by people who aren’t just interested in tech, but inspired by it.
More signal, less noise. That’s something that visibly stopped the room.

I’m looking forward to getting closer to the phone in a creative setting soon.
But for now, here’s what I took away from the launch — and why I think it might be more than just a phone.

Pre-orders began 12 July 2025 at nothing.tech and selected retail partners.
