Nothing Phone (3) to launch soon in India, here is what we know about it so far
Nothing has confirmed that its "true flagship" phone, the Nothing Phone (3), is all set to launch in July. While the company has not revealed the exact date, it has been shedding light on the upcoming phone. For instance, the Nothing Phone (3) is ditching the Glyph interface and will follow the CMF Phone 2 Pro back panel. In this article, we will unveil all the details that Nothing has confirmed so far and will also shed light on the rumours and leaks around the phone. advertisementNothing Phone (3): Design Nothing has officially given up on the glyph interface, which was once a key highlight on its phones. Unlike the Nothing Phone (2) or Phone (3a), the upcoming flagship will follow a design language similar to its mid-budget phone, CMF Phone 2 Pro (review). In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Nothing shared a glimpse of the back panel. The shared image features a wheel on the edge. While it appears to be a little different from the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the inspiration could be the same. Another similarity between the Phone (3) and the CMF Phone 2 Pro is "all in the details." If you look at the image closely, you can notice two different tones of the colour. This means that the upcoming flagship might also feature a dual-colour back panel. advertisementNothing also revealed that the Phone (3) would be the first flagship to ditch the glyph interface, a feature known to be Nothing's trademark. Now, if the company is doing away with such a feature, it is certain that the upcoming phone will bring another wave. While nothing is certain, the company may be cooking up a brand-new visual language for the Phone (3), and it might involve dot-matrix displays. Nothing Phone (3): Specs and featuresWith its official unveiling set for July, the Nothing Phone (3) remains something of a mystery — but not without a fair share of juicy leaks and subtle hints. While much is still under wraps, co-founder Carl Pei has offered a few tantalising confirmations. The upcoming handset, he says, will bring 'high-end materials,' 'a major jump in performance,' and 'software improvements aimed at delivering a better overall experience.'Rumour-watchers and spec-sheet sleuths, however, have begun painting a clearer picture. At the heart of the Phone (3), it's widely speculated we'll find Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. It's a curious, if bold, choice for a device vying for flagship status in 2025, especially given that the Phone (2) debuted two years ago. Still, if Nothing keeps the price within reach, it might just strike the right balance between power and the Phone (3) is tipped to feature a sizeable 6.77-inch AMOLED screen, pushing a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a dazzling 3,000 nits of peak brightness. The camera setup is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel triple array on the back and a 32-megapixel selfie snapper up front. As for battery life, expect a 5,000mAh cell, with 50W fast wired charging and 20W wireless charging in Phone (3): Price hike confirmed Pei has hinted that the Nothing Phone (3) will be priced around 800 (roughly Rs 92,000) sparking plenty of chatter ahead of its official launch. While the UK price sets expectations high, the Indian market may see a more tailored tag. Analysts suggest a likely range of Rs 60,000 to Rs 70,000, a steep climb from the Phone (2)'s Rs 44,999–Rs 54,999 launch price. 'It won't be cheap,' say insiders, though pricing could reflect India's purchasing power. Still, fans hoping for a budget-friendly flagship might need to brace themselves. Official pricing is just around the corner, and expectations are mixed.

Gold Price Prediction: Will Gold Hit Rs 1,10,000 Per 10 grams? Here's What Experts Say
Last Updated: Gold and silver saw sharp volatility on Thursday, initially falling after a US Federal Court blocked Trump's tariff plan; Good time to invest? Gold Price Prediction: Investors booked profits in gold on Friday, May 30, as June MCX gold futures opened lower by Rs 592, or 0.62%, at Rs 94,797 per 10 grams, amid concerns about Trump-era tariffs and volatile trade. This was despite supportive preliminary GDP data showing an economic contraction, which had earlier boosted gold's safe-haven appeal. Analysts remain bullish on gold, projecting a potential rise to Rs 1,10,000 per 10 grams within a year, citing gold's consistent track record of delivering solid long-term returns. On Thursday, gold and silver futures closed higher in domestic and global markets. Gold June futures settled at Rs 95,389/10g with a 0.12% gain, and silver July futures at Rs 97,826/kg, up 0.59%. However, on Friday, silver July futures at MCX also opened lower by Rs 884, or 0.9%, at Rs 96,942/kg. Gold and silver saw sharp volatility on Thursday, initially falling after a US Federal Court blocked Trump's tariff plan. However, prices recovered after President Trump announced plans to appeal the ruling. Meanwhile, the dollar index slipped as US jobless claims rose more than expected, lending support to bullion prices. Currently, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is hovering near 99.44, up 0.16%. US jobless claims increased last week to 240,000, higher than expectations of 229,000. Preliminary GDP data also signaled contraction, adding to gold's safe-haven demand. Manoj Kumar Jain of Prithvifinmart Commodity Research expects gold and silver prices to remain volatile, driven by dollar index fluctuations, geopolitical tensions, and key US data releases. 'Gold could hold support at $3,250/oz and silver at $32.80/oz on a weekly closing basis," he said. Rahul Kalantri, VP Commodities at Mehta Equities Ltd., noted that while gold plunged initially after the US court ruling, prices bounced back amid growing economic concerns. 'Gold has support at $3,274-3,255 and resistance at $3,322-3,340; silver's support is at $32.82-32.65 and resistance at $33.35-33.55," Kalantri said. In INR terms, gold has support at Rs 94,910-94,580 and resistance at Rs 95,750-95,940. Silver's support is at Rs 96,480-95,750, with resistance at Rs 97,950-98,750. Trading Strategy Manoj Kumar Jain suggests: Gold price prediction Angel One expects gold to continue delivering strong returns, projecting a price of $4,000/oz internationally and Rs 1,10,000/10g domestically within a year. They suggest accumulating around Rs 85,000/10g for long-term investment. First Published: May 30, 2025, 14:06 IST

Elon Musk: Disruptor on the move
Elon Musk's whirlwind stint in Washington has ended much the way it began: with disruption, controversy, and an unwavering refusal to play by the rules. After just 129 days leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — a Trump-era creation aimed at slashing federal spending and injecting private-sector dynamism into public institutions — Musk exits with a polarising legacy. It's a record defined as much by lofty ambition as by uneven delivery. From the outset, his appointment was a signal of disruption. As the world's richest man and an icon of tech-driven transformation, Musk embodied the kind of outsider energy that President Donald Trump relishes. He arrived with a headline-grabbing pledge: cut $2 trillion from federal spending. Though that target was eventually scaled down, DOGE still claimed $175 billion in savings, an eye-catching figure, though experts continue to debate its validity. As with his ventures at Tesla and SpaceX, Musk's goals were grand, his execution divisive. Yet Musk did leave a mark. His influence was clearest in the aggressive downsizing of US foreign aid, most notably the gutting of USAID. Programmes focused on food security, gender equity, and global health was sharply curtailed or axed outright, raising alarms among humanitarian organisations. From stalled medical programmes in rural India to canceled scholarships for Afghan girls, the cuts drew intense criticism. In Musk's calculus, it seemed, impact was measured in dollars saved, not lives affected.
