Nothing Phone (3) Leaks With a Secondary E-Ink Screen on the Back

Nothing Phone (3) Leaks With a Secondary E-Ink Screen on the Back
đź’ˇ AI Summary

Leaked renders show Nothing is planning a dual-screen design that lets users check notifications and read articles without waking up the main battery-draining display.

Nothing is known for its eye-catching transparent design and Glyph interface, but the upcoming Nothing Phone (3) might introduce its biggest design shake-up yet. Alleged CAD renders show a 3-inch electronic paper (E-Ink) display sitting alongside the glyph lights on the phone’s back panel.

The secondary screen is intended for low-power tasks: showing static QR codes, transit passes, calendar events, and even text-based articles. This addition could dramatically increase battery life, allowing users to keep up with news while keeping the main OLED screen powered off.
