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 value.advertisementDisplay-wise, 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 tow.Nothing 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.
