As the brand's latest flagship, the Nothing Phone 3 is built for gaming, image processing and AI-intensive tasks. It is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a major upgrade built on cutting-edge 4nm technology. This enables smoother multitasking and seamless performance across demanding applications.
The phone packs a 5,150mAh silicon-carbon battery offering up to 80 hours of uptime. Wired charging supports 65W fast charging, topping up the battery in under an hour, while wireless charging caps at 15W.
Nothing is offering two configurations of the Phone 3: a 256GB model with 12GB RAM priced at US$799, and a 512GB model with 16GB RAM at US$899. An IP68 rating ensures durability against water and dust.

The Nothing Phone 3 features a professional-grade camera system, headlined by a 1/1.3-inch main sensor that captures detailed 50MP low-light images and sharp 4K video at 60fps with full optical image stabilisation. The rear camera setup includes a 3x periscope optical zoom and a 50MP ultrawide lens. The front-facing selfie camera also supports 50MP shots.
Designed for both professionals and enthusiasts, the camera includes pro-designed presets developed in collaboration with photographers. These enable cinematic video and high-quality photos without the need for advanced technical skills, making pro-level photography accessible to casual and serious users alike. Nothing OS evolution

The Phone 3 runs on Nothing OS 3.5, optimised for peak performance. At launch, the phone features Android 15, with planned updates to Android 16 and Nothing OS 4.0 in Q3 2025. Nothing guarantees five years of major Android updates and seven years of security patches.
Users can enable a minimalist monochrome theme with simplified app labels to reduce visual clutter. The OS takes a thoughtful approach to AI integration, embedding smart features where they add real value. Key tools include Essential Search—a universal smart search accessible via a swipe from the home screen—Essential Space for AI-organised notes and ideas, and Flip to Record, which transcribes and summarises meetings when the phone is placed face down.
The final verdict? With its bold new design, powerful performance and thoughtfully integrated smart features, the Nothing Phone 3 cements the brand's reputation as one of the most distinctive players in today's smartphone market. By blending modular transparency with flagship-grade hardware, it offers a fresh alternative for users seeking style, functionality and a different approach to mobile innovation.
