The wait is almost over. After the success of the Phone 1 and Phone 2, Carl Pei’s Nothing is back with what could be its most premium flagship yet — the Nothing Phone 3. Slated for a July 2025 release, the Phone 3 promises refined design, a performance leap, and deeper AI integration.
Design & Display: Sleek. Transparent. Titanium.
Building on its iconic transparent aesthetic, Nothing is reportedly adding a titanium frame to the Phone 3. The Glyph Interface remains, but with refined LED zones and improved animations. Leaks suggest a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and symmetrical bezels — minimal and premium.
Performance: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 or 8 Elite?
Nothing Phone 3 is rumored to ship with either the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 or Qualcomm’s newer 8 Gen 4 a.k.a Snapdragon 8 Elite — both built for flagship-grade efficiency and AI workloads. This would bring a substantial jump in CPU, GPU, and AI processing over the Phone 2’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
Camera: Triple 50MP Setup with Periscope Zoom
Camera leaks point to a triple 50MP configuration:
- Primary: Sony IMX890 sensor
- Telephoto: 2x or 3x optical zoom (periscope lens)
- Ultra-wide: Secondary 50MP shooter
The front will house a 32MP AI-enhanced selfie camera. Expect cinematic video modes and AI-powered scene optimization with Nothing OS 3.0 based on Android 15.
Battery & Charging
A solid 5000mAh battery is expected, supporting:
- 50W fast wired charging
- 20W wireless charging
- Reverse wireless charging
That’s power to last — and reverse-charge your earbuds.
Software & AI Integration
Phone 3 is set to debut with Nothing OS 3.0, built on Android 15. Key AI features include:
- Smart Suggestions
- Circle to Search (like Pixel)
- AI-generated replies
- Adaptive drawer and dynamic wallpapers
These features position the Phone 3 among the smartest Androids of 2025.
Expected Price & Launch
According to industry insiders:
- Launch Date: July 2025
- Expected Price in India: ₹45,000 – ₹50,000
