Of course. The rumour mill is in full swing for the highly anticipated Nothing Phone (3), and with a launch event now officially confirmed, key details about its price and a radical design shift are beginning to leak. Here’s a breakdown of everything we know so far ahead of the big reveal.
Confirmed Launch Date
First things first, the date is set. Nothing has officially confirmed that the Nothing Phone (3) will launch globally and in India on July 1, 2025. The event will be livestreamed, and you can sign up for updates on Flipkart and Nothing’s official website.
Design: A Radical Departure
The biggest and most surprising leak suggests a major design evolution. Several reliable sources and leaked renders indicate that Nothing is ditching its iconic Glyph Interface.
- No More Glyph Lights: The signature LED light strips that have defined Nothing’s phones are reportedly being retired on the flagship Phone (3). This is a bold move away from the feature that made its predecessors instantly recognizable.
- Semi-Transparent Aesthetic: Fans of Nothing’s futuristic look can breathe a sigh of relief. The phone is expected to retain its semi-transparent back panel, offering a glimpse into the internals and maintaining the brand’s unique design DNA.
- New Camera Layout: Leaked renders show a redesigned camera module. Instead of the vertical dual-camera pill of the Phone (2), the Phone (3) is rumoured to feature a circular module housing a new triple-camera setup.
- Curved and Premium Build: The phone is expected to feature a more premium build with rounded edges and curved frames for a more comfortable in-hand feel. CEO Carl Pei has mentioned the use of “high-end materials,” which could point to a more refined chassis.
Leaked Price: Going Premium
Prepare for a significant price jump. Carl Pei has already stated that the Phone (3) will be Nothing’s “first true flagship” and that it “won’t be cheap.” Leaks have started to put numbers to that claim.
- Expected India Price: While international pricing leaks suggest a price around $799 USD (approx. ₹68,000), the price in India is expected to be more competitive. Based on Nothing’s past pricing strategies, the starting price for the Nothing Phone (3) in India is expected to be in the ₹58,000 to ₹62,000 range. This is a considerable increase from the Phone (2)’s launch price but positions it strategically against other premium flagships.
Other Leaked Specifications and Details
Beyond the headline design and price changes, here’s what the leaks are suggesting for the internals:
- Processor: The Phone (3) is widely expected to be powered by a flagship Snapdragon 8-series chipset. While not officially confirmed, this would be a major performance upgrade from the Phone (2)’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
- Display: It is tipped to feature a large 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and a peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits, making it one of the brightest displays on the market.
- Camera: This is a key area of improvement. The Phone (3) is rumoured to feature a triple-camera system for the first time, likely comprising a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a new telephoto or periscope lens. The front camera is expected to be a 32MP sensor.
- Battery: The battery capacity is expected to see a marginal upgrade to around 5,000mAh, with support for faster wired charging, possibly up to 50W.
- Software and AI: The phone will run on Nothing OS 3.0, based on Android 15. Expect a clean user interface with significant new AI-based features integrated into the software.
In summary, the Nothing Phone (3) is shaping up to be a more mature and premium offering. By moving away from the Glyph Interface, Nothing seems to be signalling a shift from a design-led “gimmick” to a performance-first flagship, while still retaining its unique transparent aesthetic. All will be revealed on July 1st.
