Nothing Phone 3 US pricing tipped ahead of July release date — here's what you'll pay
Nothing is preparing to launch the Nothing Phone 3 next month and a recent leak has given us a good idea of what the pricing — and colors — of the new flagship will be. According to leaker Roland Quandt on Bluesky, the Phone 3 will launch at $799 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. That increases to $899 for the 16GB/512GB configuration. This pricing was shared by a second report on X (via GSMArena) that also confirmed colors will be a simple choice between black or white. That pricing is a fair jump higher than the Nothing Phone 2's $600 launch price, but it's not as bad as it could be. It's like-for-like pricing with the £800 U.K. cost of the phone that CEO Carl Pei teased during Google I/O. Given currency fluctuations and tariff concerns, many thought the Nothing Phone 3 could arrive with a $1,000 price tag. The Nothing Phone 3 is rumored to be the brand's attempt at a truer flagship, with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip on board that'll prioritize generative AI features, high-end gaming and photographic capabilities. If that $799 entry price leak is accurate, the phone will be directly positioned against the Google Pixel 9 for the attention of Android users. And while a better camera and some nifty AI tricks will help it out, the rumored lack of Nothing's famous glyph interface will make it harder to stand out against Google's colorful flagship. The Phone 3 is tipped to release in the U.S. in July, but it's not the only new Nothing product on the horizon. The company is also preparing to launch its first ever pair of over-ear headphones. According to the leaker Arsène Lupin, the so-called "Nothing Headphone 1" will arrive on September 30 for $299. Like the Nothing Phone 3, the headphones will also be available in a choice of black or white. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Nothing will have its work cut out for it in the over-ear headphones market, but the brand's in-ear Nothing Ear 2 earbuds impressed us last year. We called them an AirPods Pro 2 rival in our 4-star review, so if the company can repeat the feat with the Headphone 1, our list of the best headphones to buy could have a new contender.

A new Nothing Phone (3) leak gives away pricing and a possible new product
A recent leak has provided new details about Nothing's upcoming flagship, the Phone (3), including pricing and an unexpected hint about a new product called Headphone (1). This update arrives shortly after hints emerged suggesting Nothing may phase out its signature Glyph interface, raising questions about the brand's future design to information shared via Bluestky, the Nothing Phone (3) will be available in two colors: white and black. The device will offer two configurations, one with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and a higher-end option with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Prices are expected to start at around €850, roughly $910 USD at current exchange rates. This positions the Phone (3) among premium-level smartphones, directly competing with models like Google's Pixel 9 Pro, Samsung's Galaxy S series, and high-end offerings from context, Nothing's previous model, the Phone (2), launched at a slightly lower price. It earned praise for its unique design and solid performance but faced criticism for its limited availability and premium pricing that set high consumer expectations. The new pricing strategy for the Phone (3) indicates Nothing's intent to firmly establish itself in the premium smartphone market, aiming at buyers interested in distinctive designs and advanced specs. Image credit — Roland Quandt (Bluesky) Interestingly, the leak also mentioned the upcoming launch of Nothing Headphone (1). Following the popularity of its earlier earbuds, Ear (1) and Ear (2), the company's move into over-ear headphones seems logical. The headphones will reportedly be available in black and white, priced around €300 or about $320 USD, positioning them within the premium audio segment dominated by established leaks arrive following the speculation that the Phone (3) may no longer feature the Glyph interface. Known for its distinctive LED lights on the back, this feature provides notification alerts and visual appeal. Removing it would mark a significant change in Nothing's design philosophy, possibly shifting the brand's focus toward software innovation or other design elements. Regardless of what the company decides to do with the Glyph interface, I'm still curious to see what the Nothing Phone (3) will bring to the table. So far, Nothing has made of a name for itself by doing quite a bit with its unique approach to hardware and software. I am confident that the company will continue on that path and hopefully wow us all with the arrival of the Nothing Phone (3) .

Nothing Phone 3 pricing leaks, and it's not as expensive as we feared
Damien Wilde / Android Authority TL;DR Last month Nothing CEO Carl Pei teased what sounded like a $1,000 base price for the Nothing Phone 3. A new leak now claims pricing will start at just $800 in the US. We also get some news on the Nothing Headphones 1, which could land in late September for $300. What's the next big Android smartphone launch you're looking forward to? Google's Pixel 10 series is on our radar this summer, as are Samsung's next-gen foldables, but the first headline-grabbing phone to land might just be the Nothing Phone 3. The company's been teasing a newly glyph-less Phone 3 for launch this July, and now a new rumor attempts to address one of the bigger questions surrounding how it might arrive. Last month brought us tons of Android news, both from Google I/O and the inaugural Android Show. Nothing CEO Carl Pei contributed a video message to the latter, where he hinted at what sounded like a big shake-up to Nothing Phone pricing. According to Pei, the Phone 3 would sell for £800, or over $1,000. Considering that the Phone 2 started at just $600 in the US, this made it feel like Nothing was going after another class of phone shoppers entirely, making a move on bigger-name flagships. That may not be the case in the end, though. Over on Blue Sky, noted leaker Roland Quandt asserts that the base level Nothing Phone 3 will sell for just under $800 in the US. While that still represents a fair price hike, it's also one that's far more measured than we feared. That kind of money would get you the Phone 3 in its 12GB RAM, 256GB storage configuration; for more like $900, you could upgrade to 16GB memory and 512GB storage. Considering that a fully tricked-out Phone 2 would go for nearly $800, that's again a price increase that doesn't feel particularly egregious. It's not just the Phone 3 on our radar, though, and we've also been expecting to get our hands on an all-new offering from the company, in the form of its first set of cans: a pair of over-ear headphones. We've been digging Nothing's earbud offerings for years now, so this pair has a lot to live up to. So far details have been pretty light, but now Arsène Lupin posts a teaser to X, claiming that Nothing is targeting a September 30 launch for these 'Headphones 1.' We may get our choice of either black or white colorways, and pricing is tipped to come in just under $300. That would put the Headphones 1 in a pretty competitive price bracket, where they'll be facing off against some much more established brands. We can't wait to hear how they stack up! Got a tip?

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge specs leak in full — and it's looking impressive
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Everything we may have wanted to know about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's hardware has been revealed by WinFuture's Roland Quandt, a highly reliable source when it comes to leaks. Thought to be launching on May 13 (although this isn't confirmed by Samsung yet), the S25 Edge has been teased officially already, although only the design. But thanks to WinFuture, we now have a full specs sheet, plus some fresh renders of the phone. We've put the specs in a table below for easy reading, but we'll go into more detail after. As well as learning it could have a rather small 3,900 mAh battery, these specs confirm plenty of other details about the Galaxy S25 Edge. For instance, it'll use the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, seen in the other Galaxy S25 models, as well as 12GB RAM and either 256GB or 512GB storage, just like the Galaxy S25 Plus. We'd heard before that the S25 Edge would feature a 200MP main camera, but this leak also tells us there will be a 12MP ultrawide camera to accompany it. So while the main camera matches what Samsung offers on its top-tier Galaxy S25 Ultra, the ultrawide is in line with the standard Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus. We'd hoped the S25 Ultra's new 50MP ultrawide camera might make it to the Edge model, but I guess we'll have to wait for that upgrade in a future generation. In terms of construction, the Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a titanium frame like the S25 Ultra, and use Gorilla Glass Ceramic to protect the front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is what you'll find on the back and front of the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25 Plus, but the Gorilla Glass Ceramic is brand new to Samsung, switching out the Gorilla Armor 2 from the Ultra. The S25 Edge still has IP68 dust/water resistance, like all other S25s, too. The headline specs for the Galaxy S25 Edge are its size. While it's said to use a 6.7-inch QHD display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, the S25 Edge supposedly measures 5.85mm (0.23 inches) thick and weighs just 163 grams (5.75 ounces). This is only one gram more than the much smaller Galaxy S25, and almost 1.5mm thinner. WinFuture's sources also offer confirmation of the colors leaked previously for the Galaxy S25 Edge. It appears the choice will be between Titanium Silver, Titanium Jet Black and Titanium Icyblue, although there's a chance further colors could be offered as Samsung Store exclusives, as we see with the company's other flagship phone offerings. It appears like the Galaxy S25 Edge is only a week or two away from officially launching, but while we wait for Samsung to go on the record, these specs paint an interesting picture. This is a niche that Samsung has not tried before, and with the iPhone 17 Air allegedly launching later this year with a similar goal in mind, we can't wait to take a proper look at Samsung's pared-down Galaxy S. Android 16 redesign revealed in massive leak — how real is it? I stopped using Apple Maps in my car after this major Google Maps update — and now I'll never go back The entire iPhone 17 lineup just got revealed in new video — here's the biggest changes

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge teased again, set to feature new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2: All we know so far
Samsung Electronics and Corning Incorporated today confirmed that the forthcoming Galaxy S25 Edge will debut with Corning's latest innovation, Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, a next-generation glass ceramic designed to offer superior protection. 'Galaxy S25 Edge will set a new standard for craftsmanship and performance as our slimmest Galaxy S series device yet,' said Kwangjin Bae, EVP and Head of the Mechanical R&D Team of Mobile eXperience Business (MX) at Samsung Electronics. 'To support this breakthrough design, it was essential to develop a display material that was both exceptionally thin and reliably strong — a challenge that brought Corning and Samsung together, united by a shared vision for purposeful engineering and user-centric innovation. That vision is embedded in every detail of Galaxy S25 Edge.' The much-anticipated device will be unveiled during a livestreamed launch event on Samsung's YouTube channel on 13 May at 9 a.m. KST (12 May at 8 p.m. EDT and 5 p.m. PDT). According to reliable tipster Roland Quandt of WinFuture, the Galaxy S25 Edge is set to impress with its ultra-slim profile, measuring just 5.85mm thick and weighing 163g. The flagship handset is expected to boast a premium build, combining a titanium frame with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front—promising both sleek aesthetics and enhanced durability. The Galaxy S25 Edge is rumoured to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440x3120 and a 120Hz refresh rate. An ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor is also expected to be integrated for secure authentication. Under the hood, the device is likely to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM. Storage options may include 256GB and 512GB variants. A 3,900mAh battery with wireless charging support and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance are also believed to be part of the package. Quandt reports that the Galaxy S25 Edge will be priced from €1,249 in Germany for the 256GB model, with the 512GB version retailing at €1,369. While regional pricing may vary, this positions the device between the Galaxy S25 Plus and the Galaxy S25 Ultra within Samsung's flagship lineup. The smartphone is expected to be available in Titanium Jet Black, Titanium Icy Blue, and Titanium Silver finishes.
