Nothing Phone 3
At the just concluded MWC 2025, nothing debuted its Nothing Phone 3a series. The Nothing Phone 3a and the Nothing Phone 3a Pro were the two cell phones that were included. But the corporation had only just started the year. Recently, there are rumors that the company is currently preparing to release the more expensive Nothing Phone 3 series. But it is expected to launch in a few months. All we know about the gadget at the time is listed below. More details are expected in the upcoming months.
Features of Nothing Phone 3 You Don’t Know
However, the Nothing Phone 3 could be a strong contender, but there are a couple of things that could stop it. Previous models have been a concern for photography enthusiasts due to its camera performance, especially in low light conditions. Nothing OS is notorious in being clean and minimalistic, but where MIUI and One UI go is way beyond, UI wise, Nothing OS is quite sparse. Another major challenge comes in the form of price competition, if Nothing puts up this price, these rival brands — offering the same specs for a cheaper price — could be a real thorn in the side for it. Moreover, those who might be looking for something more durable and flexible to withstand whatever life can throw at them may not appreciate the lack of expandable storage and limited water resistance (IP53).
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Expected to improve on the previous models with better low-light performance and dynamic range. However, ultrawide and selfie cameras still face criticism for mediocre quality. | |
| Current IP54 rating is limited; hopes are for an upgrade to IP68 certification for better water and dust resistance. | |
| Unique LED glyph interface on the back for notifications and customization but underutilized in prior models; expected to see better app integration. | |
| Likely to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, offering better performance and efficiency compared to its predecessors. | |
| Anticipated increase to a 5,000mAh battery, improving on the 4,700mAh from Nothing Phone 2 for better stamina. | |
| Expected to extend software support to five years, making it more competitive with brands like Google and Samsung. | |
| Plans to reduce slipperiness of the glass back and improve overall ergonomics for a more user-friendly experience. | |
| Aiming for improved internal speakers as prior models were criticized for tinny sound quality. | |
| Still no support for expandable storage, which may deter users who need additional space. | |
| Expected price upwards of $599 (~₹50,000), making it vulnerable to competition from brands offering similar specs at lower prices. |
Integration of AI
Carl Pei has hinted that AI will be a big part of Nothing OS, and the experience will be more smooth and intuitive, back in June 2024. It will be a smarter new home screen that will display the needed information at the right time. A multi-modal AI companion that can interact like a human is one of the most exciting features that is being discussed. Recently, Nothing has introduced the Essential Key as part of the AI powered Essential Space, which brings smart features to users instantly. The Nothing Phone 3 will be the potential launch device where AI integration will go even deeper to make the device even more intelligent and user friendly.
Nothing Phone 3's anticipated release date
The Nothing Phone 3 is expected to be on sale in July 2025. Tipster Abhishek Yadav spread the word on X, formerly Twitter. If we go back to the companies prior timelines, it fits with them. The Nothing Phone 1 and 2 were launched in July of 2022 and 2023, respectively. The tipster hasn’t revealed much about the next flagship, but prior sources say that this release would focus on AI-powered advances. The company had previously hinted at UI advancements in a leaked email, and the Phone 3 was the first attempt by the company at an AI powered platform.
