A collection of photos taken with Nothing Phone (3) equipped with a 50-megapixel sensor and four cameras



The Nothing Phone (3) , which was released on August 28, 2025, has three cameras on the back and one on the front. It uses a 1/1.3-inch 50-megapixel sensor, supports video recording at up to 4K and 60 fps, and is equipped with the image processing engine 'TrueLens Engine 4.' I took various photos with the Phone (3) to see what kind of photos I could take.

The camera app for Nothing OS on the iPhone (3) is launched. The UI is very simple. You can access the camera presets by tapping the icon at the bottom of the screen.



In addition to 'Original,' there are six other default preset settings: 'Stretch,' 'B&W Film,' 'Retro,' 'Soft Focus,' 'Wide Angle,' and 'Lenticular.'



The default photo resolution is 12 megapixels, but you can take 50 megapixel photos by tapping the icon in the top right, tapping the 'Quality' column, and switching to '50MP.'



The phone has three rear cameras: a main camera, a periscope camera, and an ultra-wide camera. The main camera has an f/1.68 aperture and supports optical image stabilization. The periscope camera has a 70mm focal length and supports 3x optical zoom, 6x lossless zoom, and up to 60x ultra zoom. The ultra-wide lens has a 114-degree field of view.



So, I took a variety of photos with the Phone (3) to compare its camera performance. The photos were taken using the original camera app, and nothing was changed from the default settings except for quality and magnification. The example photos in this article have not been edited other than resizing, and you can click on each example to see the original image before it was reduced. However, the original images are very large, with file sizes of up to 36MB, so please be careful of your internet bandwidth when viewing them.

The photo was taken at 0.6x zoom, with a quality of 50MP and a resolution of 8160 x 6144 pixels.



Zoom 1x. Resolution is 8192 x 6144 pixels.



A photo taken from the same position with a 3x zoom. Resolution is 8192 x 6144 pixels. If you set the quality to 50MP, the maximum zoom is 3x.



The digital zoom allows you to take photos at up to 60x magnification, so I tried it out. Below is a photo taken at 1x zoom.

This is what it looks like on the camera app. By comparing, you can clearly see that the actual photo has been heavily corrected by AI.



I took a macro shot of a flower. The shooting distance for macro photography was 10cm, and there were two zoom settings: 3x and 6x. The following example shot was taken at 3x zoom, with a resolution of 4096 x 3072 pixels.



Another photo taken at 6x magnification.



Macro photography allows you to clearly see the veins of the leaves.



Taken in the morning, zoomed in 2x and the resolution is 4096 x 3072 pixels.



This photo was taken in the evening. The setting sun is reflected and shining through the gaps in the building. The resolution is 4096 x 3072 pixels.

Below are photos taken in 'night mode' at the same location and time.



I snapped a picture of a pigeon I saw in town. Zoomed in 6x, resolution 4096 x 3072 pixels.



I took a photo of the ramen I had for lunch. The zoom was 1x and the resolution was 8192 x 6144 pixels.



Photographed with 3x macro zoom.



I took a photo of a figurine I had on hand. The zoom was set to 1x, and the resolution was 6144 x 8192 pixels. All settings were set automatically: ISO 434, focal length 44mm, aperture f/1.68, and shutter speed 1/50s. The angle of view was a little wide, so there was a slight radial blur around the parts of the figure other than the face, which was in focus.



The same figure was photographed at 3x zoom, with a resolution of 6144 x 8192 pixels, ISO 2161, focal length 70mm, f/2.68, and a shutter speed of 0.0166667s.



This photo of the figure was taken with a 3x zoom setting, with a resolution of 6144 x 8192 pixels, ISO 2161, a focal length of 70mm, f/2.68, and a shutter speed of 0.0166667s.



I also tried shooting some video. It was shot while walking at a maximum setting of 4K and 60fps. Perhaps due to the digital image stabilization, there were some slightly unnatural

panning movements when the camera was moved sharply.

One of the key features of the Nothing Phone (3) is the Glyph Interface, which is made up of 489 LEDs on the back. While you can’t see what’s being captured on the camera when taking a selfie using the rear camera, you can turn on the “GLYPH Mirror” feature in the native camera app to display what’s being captured on the camera in the Glyph Interface.


This is what it looks like when it's actually displayed on the Glyph Interface. Because it's a dot display using LEDs, it's not displayed clearly, but you can still get a general idea of what's being displayed. You can take selfies with a futuristic effect.



In the next article, we will look at the unique features of Nothing OS and Phone (3), including the Glyph Interface.
