Phone (3) - Coming in July, and no Glyph Interface?
As you’ll have heard by now, we’re releasing the long-awaited Phone (3) in July this year! With Carl noting that Phone (3) will be our first true flagship smartphone, priced around £800.
An ambiguous post on our X account has caused a stir, with lots of speculation on the future of the Glyph. What are your thoughts?
If you’d like to have a go at imagining what Phone (3) will look like, we’re running a fun design contest!
We’re inviting you to unleash your creativity and design your concept for Phone (3). Whether you’re into digital art, 3D renders, hand-drawn sketches, or even using AI tools to bring your ideas to life, we want to see your unique vision for our next big release. The most creative concept will take home the ultimate prize: a brand-new Phone (3)!

Winners Announced: The Community Edition Project 2025
Now in its second year, the Community Edition Project is well underway! You can read all about the winners and their submissions here.
We’ve already had four kick-off calls with the winners and the teams they’ll be working with. One challenge that differentiates this year’s contest to last year’s, is that all four winners were selected at once. Each of them now have the task of adapting their winning submission to flow cohesively with the others, meaning what you see here won’t exactly become the final designs. Stay tuned for news and updated throughout the summer…

Nothing Library: Podcast & Book Recommendations from the Nothing Team
Last month, we got two amazing media recommendations from our team. Here are some more books and podcasts that are keeping the team busy and inspired this month. This month, we’ve got two from the Community Team. Let us know what you’re reading or listening to down below!
Book - Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins - recommended by Natalie, Community Team
If you’re a fan of the Hunger Games, like me, then you will eat this book up! We get to see what happens during the 50th Hunger Games, and witness the origin story of many familiar characters from the main trilogy. It weaves in the known lore of the series perfectly, whilst revealing new layers to the world, making it a welcome prequel ahead of the film version coming out next year!
Podcast - The Louis Theroux Podcast - recommended by Rob, Community Team
In Season 4, Episode 7 of The Louis Theroux Podcast, Louis interviews Sean Evans, host of the popular YouTube series Hot Ones. The episode delves into the art of interviewing, with both hosts reflecting on their experiences and techniques. Sean discusses how Hot Ones turned a simple concept - interviewing celebrities while eating increasingly spicy chicken wings - into one of the biggest online talk shows. The conversation highlights the importance of knowing your own value as an interviewer, offering great insight for anyone interested in content creation and storytelling.
