Nothing Phone (3) launch soon in India and here is everything we know about it so far
Amid numerous smartphone launches, did you realise it's been about two years since the Nothing Phone (2) came out? That was the company's last flagship phone, and since then, the London-based tech startup has focused instead on its mid-range A-series devices and building its affordable sub-brand, CMF. Since last year, it was widely expected that Nothing would launch the third-generation Nothing Phone, but nothing (no pun intended) materialised. The company instead went back to the drawing board, saying they would only launch the Phone (3) when the time is right. Source: Nothing India/ X (formerly Twitter) advertisementLooks like the time is now, as it's confirmed that the Nothing Phone (3) is all set to break cover in July, exactly two years after the Phone (2)'s launch. While we don't have an exact date yet, July is just a month away, so there's not much time left to see what Nothing has been cooking. Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming Nothing Phone (3).Nothing Phone (3): What to expectHonestly, not much is known yet about the Nothing Phone (3), even though we're so close to its official launch. But going by the rumour mill, we do have a certain idea of what to expect. Carl Pei likes to be in the limelight, and we often see him making videos around Nothing products on the company's official YouTube channel. In one of the recent videos, he showed a blurred-out image of a phone, further stating that those who've been waiting for the Nothing Phone (3) might be sad to know that it won't be available at an affordable price, suggesting a significant price Evangelidis, Nothing's co-founder, also revealed in an X post that the upcoming Nothing Phone (3) will be the first true flagship the company has ever according to Carl Pei, the Phone (3) is going to cost around 800 Pounds, which roughly translates to Rs 92,000 in Indian currency. That's quite a jump, but not necessarily what we expect when the phone launches in India. The Nothing Phone (3) could be priced lower in the Indian market, adjusted to the purchasing power of Indian consumers, but still, don't expect it to be cheap. Industry experts are speculating a price tag of around Rs 60,000 to Rs 70,000, which will be a notable hike considering the Nothing Phone (2) was priced between Rs 44,999 and Rs 54,999. Of course, we'll get to know the official pricing soon enough — just don't keep your hopes up for a budget-friendly has also confirmed that the Nothing Phone (3) will feature high-end materials, a major jump in performance, and software improvements aimed at delivering a better overall experience. Based on that — and the rumours — the Phone (3) is expected to come with a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 3,000 nits peak brightness. In terms of optics, the device is said to sport a 50-megapixel triple-camera setup on the back and a 32-megapixel front camera. There have also been rumours about a 5,000mAh battery, 50W fast wired charging, and 20W wireless charging most interesting rumour so far is that the Phone (3) could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. That might have made complete sense had the phone launched last year, positioned as a next-generation upgrade to the Phone (2) with a slight price bump. But now, the Phone (2) is two years old, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is about 1.5 years old. With the Phone (3) being positioned as a true flagship, using the 8 Gen 3 — and pricing it around Rs 70,000 — would be a bold move. Considering the OnePlus 13, starting at Rs 69,999, and the iQOO 13, starting at Rs 54,999, both feature the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite the case may be, the Nothing Phone (3) is set to launch in July, and we should get all the answers soon.

CMF Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus: This is what value for money sounds like
Over the past couple of years, Nothing has carved out a niche for itself in the tech space, emerging as a good value-for-money brand on the cutting edge of design that appeals to a younger user. Its CMF sub-brand pushes the envelope even more when it comes to pricing and design, especially with its accessories. The new CMF Buds range is no exception. The CMF Buds 2 Plus has a unique design with a square charging case that has a circle at one corner that rotates. The circle serves no particular purpose other than housing the holes for the lanyard but does give the unit a distinct identity. The case also has a rubbery matte finish which makes it feel both durable and premium. The buds have a traditional design and are easy to wear for long hours. At the top of the stem, you can tap to control the earbuds. The CMF Buds 2 Plus come with adaptive active noise cancellation that is top of the line, sucking away the hum of my ceiling fan. However, every time you put it on, the ANC takes a few seconds to come into action. Using the Nothing X app, I could switch the ANC on and off on even the iPhone. There is also a transparency mode that works well but appears louder than the actual ambient sound. The app also gives you the most elaborate personal sound profiling I have seen. The process takes about three minutes and tries to figure out exactly how your ear is perceiving sound. There is also a full equaliser with customisation and presets. Also, an Ultra Bass calibration gives you a level of control unseen in budget earbuds. The app also lets you find the buds or change gesture controls. Usure unna thaane from Madras Matinee felt immersive with its soulful mix of strings and percussions. The bass, even at lower levels, felt like it could touch a chord along with Vijay Yesudas's baritone which has started to sound even more like his dad now. As I was trying out the gestures, the playlist shifted to Lagoon Chill from Kumbalangi Nights. I was mesmerised for a few seconds by the depth of the bass this small earbud was able to create, almost like a heart that was beating in my ears. The CMF Buds 2 Plus manages both the highs and lows well thanks to the 12mm drivers. And when it is just vocals like Billy Withers' version of Ain't No Sunshine, the earbuds do a good job too. My only point would be that there seems to be a lack of space and roominess at times and that despite these earbuds doing a good job of spatial audio. With high-end earphones, you get a sense of each channel having a space of itself, layered in the soundscape. That is sort of missing here. But then that would be expecting too much from what are essentially budget earbuds. The best thing about the CMF Buds 2 Plus is that it costs just Rs 3,299 with its super ANC, a full app with equalisers, and a good audio profile with extra bass for those who prefer that. This is what value for money sounds like. The CMF Buds 2 has a similar design as its more premium sibling, though it also seems to appeal to an even younger audience. The review unit had a light green colour which made it look trendy, at the same time making me feel a bit too old to be carrying it around. The Nothing X app works here too, though there are fewer features here as expected in comparison to the CMF Buds 2 Plus. There is noise canceling you can select the intensity or the adaptive setting, like in the other earphones. The ANC is good, though it left a bit of drone from the fan compared to the vacuum of the Buds 2 Plus. There is no personalised sound profiling here. Everything else pretty much stays the same, which is good as you are getting an equaliser with the Dirac Opteo pre-tuning. So when you hear Here Comes the Sun, the Beatles are all around you with the guitar starting on the left ear and Ringo Starr's drums getting a space on the right. The overall sound profile is balanced, though it does feel a bit cramped in comparison to the Buds 2 Plus. But then you are paying much less for this one and they have 11mm drivers. Listening to a Lossless version of Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, I was convinced that most listeners would not feel a beat missing with these earbuds. They do bass well again and that too without me amping up the same on the app. The Buds 2 manage vocals superbly, balancing it out with the BGM despite the constraints, giving a very balanced listening experience. The Buds 2 are also great for watching a movie on the phone or for gaming, especially when you are in the low lag mode. At Rs 2,699, the CMF Buds 2 are good for those who want to save a bit and not spend as much as on the CMF Buds 2 Plus. Both are good value-for-money options, though I would recommend you push your budget a bit and get the superior CMF Buds 2 Plus. It is worth the extra bucks.
