Detailed Nothing Phone (3) specs leak, big upgrades incoming
As the Nothing Phone (3) launch approaches, which is scheduled for July 1, the leaks have started popping up online. Aside from a couple of teaser posts from Nothing revealing that a new LED effect is replacing the Glyph, we have had nothing substantial up until now.
According to a Gadget Bits post on X, the Nothing Phone (3) will offer a generous upgrade in many ways, despite the non-flagship Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset.
🚨 ExclusiveNothing Phone (3)- 6.7" 1.5k OLED LTPO display- 50mp + 50mp 3x periscope + 50mp UW- 50mp front- 5150mAh battery (typ) + 100W charging- Wireless + reverse wireless charging- NFC, eSIM- Nothing OS 3.5 on Android 15- Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
Launching on July 1st pic.twitter.com/GB3TaeekT6 — Gadget Bits (@gadget_bits) June 21, 2025
The display will likely remain the same, for all intents and purposes, having a 6.7-inch diagonal with an LTPO OLED panel. The camera system gets a 50MP 3x zoom periscope camera in addition to the previous 50MP main and 50MP ultrawide shooters. The front-facing camera also gets an upgrade from 32MP to 50MP. We hope it has autofocus this time around.
The battery will be bumped up to 5,150 mAh, which is a healthy upgrade over the 4,700 mAh cell from before, but arguably the biggest upgrade in this department is the charging rate. The new Phone (3) will support 100W fast wired charging. The wireless charging capabilities remain.
Some potential buyers will welcome the added eSIM support, which was a big omission on the older model.
The leak comes with a blurred image of the back design, giving us a hint of the camera design.
There's roughly a week before Nothing's flagship launches, so until then, this will have to do.

The company's latest chip, Dimensity 8450, is basically a Dimensity 8400 with a few minor improvements that probably don't matter in the grand scheme of starters, MediaTek's new Dimensity 8450 chipset is based on TSMC's second-generation 4nm node, just like its predecessor, Dimensity 8400. On top of that, it features the same octa-core configuration: 1x Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.25 GHz, 3x Cortex-A720 cores clocked at 3.0 GHz, and 4x Cortex-A520 cores clocked at the chipset uses the same Mali-G720 MC7 GPU (graphics processing unit), which is clocked at 1300 MHz. The only difference is that the Dimensity 8450 received some gaming and ISP optimizations, according to MediaTek One of the gaming-oriented boosts Dimensity 8450 got is StarSpeed Engine, a powerful GPU technology that promises to further enhance real-world gaming. Besides that, MediaTek says the IPS has been improved with live-stream optimizations, but that's about also important to mention that MediaTek claims the Dimensity 8450 features 'the most powerful generative AI in its class.'Another interesting improvement over the previous generation Dimensity chipset is the addition of a power saving feature: MediaTek UltraSave 3.0+. The latter is supposed to offer greater 5G power efficiency compared to Dimensity new chipset will most likely be included in a bunch of mid-range smartphones in the next coming months. However, considering how quickly new chipsets are launched, smartphone makers will move to the next new thing in a jiffy. The new Dimensity 8450 won't have a long life, but it's a small step toward MediaTek's next big first phones equipped with MediaTek's Dimensity 8450 chipset have already been announced. Reno 14 Pro should make its debut in India very soon, followed by a K series model.

Deals: new Motorola Razr prices fall, plus iPad and Galaxy tablet deals
Motorola's newest foldables have been holding their prices at MSRP – until now. While the global flip phone market is fairly rich, the options in the US are limited and Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip6 is basically counting down the days to retirement. The Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite, so it's ready to take on the next Z Flip. It is rated IP48 for particulate and water protection and has a fairly large 4,700mAh battery with fast 68W wired and 30W wireless charging. The Razr has a 7' inner and a 4' cover display, the latter is fully usable out of the box. The dual 50MP camera on the back has a main (with a small 1/1.95' sensor and OIS) and a 122° ultra-wide. The selfie camera on the inner display also has a 50MP sensor. The Motorola Razr+ 2025 is the middle option – a re-release of the Razr+ 2024 with an updated IP48 rating (up from IPX8) and a newer Android out of the box, version 15. This one is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, has a 6.9' inner and a 4' cover display and a 4,000mAh battery with 45W/15W charging. The dual 50MP camera has a different setup with a 2x/47mm telephoto lens instead of an ultra-wide. The main camera has a small 1/1.95' sensor (and OIS). Motorola Razr+ 2025 $100 off 12/256GB - $900 at Amazon US The cheapest model of the family, the Motorola Razr 2025, is still at MSRP, but even now it is at $200 less than the Razr+ 2025. This one has just about the same inner display (6.9', 1080p+, LTPO), though the cover display is smaller at 3.6'. The vanilla model is powered by a low-to-mid-range Dimensity 7400X chipset. It does have a bigger battery, 4,500mAh, with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. The cameras are a 50MP main (1/1.95', OIS) and a 13MP ultra-wide. Like the rest of the family, the Razr 2025 is rated IP48 for ingress protection. Motorola Razr 2025 Read our review 8/256GB - $700 at Amazon US The Samsung Galaxy S24 FE price keeps fluctuating and is currently in the lower end of the range. While the Exynos 2400e is not the fastest chip in town, it's still faster than the Tensor G4 found inside pricey phones like the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Of course, the 50+8+12MP camera can't match the Pixels, but it does have the versatility of an 8MP 3x/75mm telephoto lens. And the phone will get six more OS updates (Android 15 is already here). The phone is rated IP68 and has a 4,700mAh battery with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging. Whatever happened to the Galaxy A56? It's coming soon, but it may have a tough time justifying its price against the S24 FE. The cheaper alternative is the Galaxy A36 with a plastic frame and a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. It has its limitations (IP67, macro camera instead of tele), but it will receive 6 OS updates – meaning this $300 phone has you covered until 2031. The A56 and the S24 FE will have to contend with the Motorola Edge (2025), which launched earlier this month. The Dimensity 7400 Ultra is rather weak – it's behind A56's Exynos 1580 and well behind the Exynos 2400e. However, the phone boasts an IP69 rating, a sharper 6.7' 1220p+ display and a 5,200mAh battery with 68W wired and 15W wireless charging. And the triple camera features not just a good 50MP 1/1.56' main sensor (OIS), but a 10MP 3x/73mm (OIS) telephoto and 50MP ultra-wide cameras. Motorola Edge (2025) 8/256GB - $550 at Amazon US The price of the refreshed Apple iPad (2025) has been falling gradually and now sits at $300. As Apple seems to have turned away from AI features, the Apple A16 chipset doesn't look so bad (its main flaw is that it doesn't support Apple Intelligence). Samsung's answer to the iPad is the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024), which costs about the same for a 128GB model, but has expandable storage. The Galaxy has a 10.4' LCD, compared to the iPad's 11' IPS LCD, both run at 60Hz and both support a stylus (Samsung includes it for free). With basic DeX support, the Tab S6 Lite is better at multitasking. Next up, the Apple iPad Air 11 (2025) and Air 13 (2025) bring more performance with Apple M3 chips. These two models also have 60Hz IPS LCDs and with USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 and DisplayPort, they can multitask on an external monitor with Stage Manager. Even so, iPadOS is not as good as macOS for serious work. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Tab S10 FE+ offer similar sizes of display, 10.9' and 13.1', respectively. Samsung at least had the decency to equip them with 90Hz IPS LCDs. These are powered by the Exynos 1580, which is much slower than an M3, but Android is more capable than iPadOS. DeX is supported, though the USB-C 2.0 port limits it only to the tablet's own screen. We may get a commission from qualifying sales.

Nothing Phone (1) may no longer qualify for Android 16, but the latest update is the next best thing
Nothing's first-ever smartphone, Phone (1), made its debut on the market three years ago. The device originally shipped with Android 12 right out of the box, but Nothing promised it will provide owners with three major OS upgrades. That means that Android 15 was the last major OS upgrade for Nothing Phone (1), something that hasn't changed even though most companies are now offering several years of OS updates for their phones. Although Nothing Phone (1) is no longer receiving OS upgrades, the UK brand offers customers who are still using the device the next best thing: a feature-packed update. Nothing OS v3.2 is now making its way to the original Phone, the company confirmed over the weekend. The update includes important new features and improvements that Nothing Phone (1) have been hopeful to get ever since they were debuted on Nothing's other phones. New Features : Introducing Privacy space: Swipe right in the app drawer for quick and easy access to your secure zone. You can now set a separate privacy password for both App Locker and Privacy space. Hotspot Manager: Easily manage devices connected to your hotspot. Other Improvements : Fixed issue with incorrect light strip display when playing music in Glyph Composer. Use the touch feedback toggle in Settings to disable the face unlock vibration for the lock screen. Updated to Android security patch for June. Fixed accessibility issues in Launcher, Gallery and other apps. General bug fixes and stability enhancements. Nothing Phone (1)'s industrial design makes it stand out | Image credit: PhoneArena As per Nothing's announcement, your Phone (1) may experience temporary overheating and increased consumption during the upgrade, but it should quickly return to normal after the update is complete. The update is rolling out in waves, so it might take some time to reach all Nothing Phone (1) users. It's unclear whether or not this phone will continue to receive feature-packed updates, so perhaps an upgrade to a newer device might be in order. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
