Nothing Phone (3): Everything We Know Ahead of July 2025 India Launch
Nothing is gearing up to introduce its next flagship, the Nothing Phone (3), in India during July 2025. This launch signifies Nothing’s re-entry into the premium smartphone market, nearly two years after the successful debut of the Nothing Phone (2) on July 11, 2023. While a precise launch date remains under wraps, the company has begun teasing key aspects of the device.
What to Expect from the Nothing Phone (3)
Nothing CEO Carl Pei has confirmed that the Phone (3) will deliver substantial improvements across several fronts: enhanced performance, refined materials, and significant software advancements. Maintaining its distinct identity, the phone is expected to feature Nothing’s signature transparent rear panel, potentially with a more evolved Glyph lighting system.
Design and Glyph System Enhancements
Anticipation is high for advancements in the Glyph interface. Reports suggest the Phone (3) could introduce a new Dot Matrix Glyph on the rear, offering more sophisticated visual cues for notifications and dynamic real-time interactions. This would allow for greater personalization and utility from Nothing’s signature lighting feature.
Deep AI Integration
A major focus for the Nothing Phone (3) will be artificial intelligence. Carl Pei has previously highlighted AI’s role in creating more personalized and intuitive smartphone experiences. Following the integration of AI features like the TrueLens Engine 3 (an AI-powered camera system) and the Essential Key in recent Nothing and CMF devices, the Phone (3) is expected to build upon this foundation. Users can anticipate features such as context-aware UI suggestions, smarter voice commands, advanced camera enhancements, and machine learning-driven battery optimization.
Nothing Phone (3) Chipset and Performance
Under the hood, the Nothing Phone (3) is projected to be powered by a high-end Qualcomm Snapdragon flagship chipset. While the exact model is yet to be confirmed, rumors point towards either the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. This represents a significant leap from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 found in the Phone (2), promising considerable boosts in multitasking, gaming capabilities, and overall energy efficiency.
Display and Battery Specifications
Leaks suggest the Nothing Phone (3) will sport a vibrant 6.77-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display, featuring a smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and a peak brightness potentially reaching up to 3,000 nits. Powering the device is expected to be a robust 5,000mAh battery, supporting 50W wired fast charging and 20W wireless charging. Whether a charger will be included in the box for the Indian market remains to be seen.
Anticipated Camera Upgrades
Following substantial camera hardware improvements in Nothing’s recent budget offerings, the Phone (3) is expected to feature a powerful camera setup. Leaks indicate a triple rear camera system, which might include a high-resolution main sensor, an ultra-wide lens, and notably, a periscope-style telephoto camera – a first for any Nothing device. For selfies and video calls, the front camera could be a 32-megapixel or 50-megapixel Sony sensor.
Nothing Phone (3) Expected Pricing in India
Carl Pei has hinted at a global price of around EUR 800 for the Phone (3). However, Nothing has historically adopted a more competitive pricing strategy in India. While a price increase from the Phone (2)’s launch price of Rs 44,999 is anticipated, current speculation suggests the base variant of the Phone (3) could be priced between Rs 55,000 and Rs 65,000 in India. This competitive pricing would position the Phone (3) against other popular flagships in the Indian market, such as upcoming iterations of the Pixel, iPhone, and OnePlus series.
