Nothing Phone (3) Confirmed for Early 2025, Aims to Redefine Smartphones with AI Features
Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing, has confirmed that the company’s next flagship smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3), will launch in the first quarter of 2025. The announcement was shared by popular tipster Evan Blass, who posted an email from Carl Pei on X (formerly Twitter). The email hinted that 2025 would be a milestone year for the brand, thanks to the launch of this innovative device.
A Two-Year Gap Promises Big Changes
Unlike the annual refresh cycle followed by most smartphone brands, Nothing is taking a two-year break between the Nothing Phone (2), launched in July 2023, and the upcoming Phone (3). This extended timeline suggests significant upgrades, including the company’s first steps into AI-powered technology.
AI-Driven Features and Customisation
Leaked details and hints from Pei suggest that the Nothing Phone (3) will serve as a hub for a personalised, AI-driven user experience. AI will reportedly be integrated into the Nothing OS, potentially reshaping how users interact with their phones, from home screens to daily tasks.
Rumours also suggest the addition of an Action Button, similar to Apple’s, offering customisable shortcuts for a more personalised touch. The phone is expected to feature a 6.5-inch display, balancing functionality and sleek design.
Pricing Speculation
The pricing of the Phone (3) remains a mystery. The previous models, the Nothing Phone (1) and Phone (2), were priced at Rs 32,999 and Rs 44,999 respectively. Early leaks suggest that the Phone (3) may feature an upper mid-range chipset like the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 or MediaTek Dimensity 9200+, potentially making it more affordable than expected.
The Nothing Phone (2) received criticism for its pricing despite offering competitive hardware. With a Rs 12,000 jump from the Phone (1), some consumers felt the brand’s newness didn’t justify the premium. However, the Phone (3) is expected to address accessibility concerns while maintaining its innovative edge.
Pro Variant Rumours
Nothing may also launch a Pro variant alongside the Phone (3), targeting premium buyers. This model is rumoured to include a 6.7-inch display and enhanced specifications. However, details on this Pro version remain speculative, and fans are advised to treat these leaks with caution.
With a focus on AI integration, customisation, and accessibility, the Nothing Phone (3) could redefine how users interact with their smartphones. As 2025 approaches, expectations are high for Nothing to deliver a device that not only meets but exceeds the buzz surrounding its launch.
Nothing India has announced an exciting new opportunity for tech enthusiasts across the country. The company has launched its Community Review Program for two of its most awaited products — the Nothing Phone (3) and the Headphone (1). The Phone (3) will be Nothing’s first true flagship smartphone, while the Headphone (1) will mark the brand’s entry into over-ear headphones. With the launch just around the corner, this program gives creators a chance to experience these devices before anyone else.
Selected participants in the program will receive one of these devices on loan. They will get the chance to test the product and create in-depth reviews for the Nothing Community as well as for their own social media followers. This is a great opportunity for creators to showcase their photography, videography, or writing skills while sharing honest feedback about these new gadgets with other tech fans.
To apply for the program, you must be an Indian resident aged 18 years or older. You should be a fan of the Nothing brand and excited about reviewing new products. Participants will need to keep the product details private until launch and sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). It’s also important to follow the deadlines and embargo dates set by Nothing to ensure information about the devices is shared at the right time.
There are a few key conditions to keep in mind. The review devices will be provided on a loan basis, meaning they must be returned after the review period ends. However, you will not need to pay any shipping charges for delivery or return — Nothing will handle that. The program is open only to Indian nationals living in India, and it applies only to the Phone (3) and Headphone (1).
If you’re interested in being part of this program, you can fill out the application form now. The last date to apply is 1st July 2025 at 6:00 PM IST. Applications submitted after this deadline will not be accepted.
Nothing is getting ready to launch its first over-the-ear headphones, called Nothing Headphone (1). These new headphones will be unveiled on July 1, alongside the Nothing Phone (3).
We now have the best look yet at the Nothing Headphone (1) as someone leaked it. As expected from Nothing, the design is different from other headphones.
The standout feature is the two-part earcup design. The top part is an oval-shaped module covered in transparent plastic, sitting on a metallic plate with squared corners. This design is very different from the smooth, round look of other popular headphones like Sony’s WH-1000XM6 or Apple’s AirPods Max.
Some hands-on photos have also appeared online. The real-life images show the headphones with two buttons on the side and one button on the outer earcup. We can also see a 3.5mm cable attached, which means the headphones will support wired connections as well as wireless.
One exciting detail is that the audio of the Headphone (1) will be tuned by KEF, a well-known British company famous for its high-quality speakers and headphones.
There is no detailed information yet about the technical features, but pricing has leaked. The Nothing Headphone (1) is expected to cost $299 in the US, €299 in Europe and Rs. 19,000-Rs. 20,000. Sales are likely to begin on September 30, about two months after the official launch. Buyers will be able to choose between Black and White colors.
Akis, Co-founder of Nothing, said on X (formerly Twitter) that the Headphone (1) will launch in India at the same time as the global launch.

Nothing Phone (3) Promises Long-Term Support with 5 Android Updates, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Announced
The Nothing Phone (3) is set to launch globally very soon, and the company has already started revealing key details about its new flagship. Recently, the company has confirmed that its processor will be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. The Phone (3) will bring several improvements over the Phone (2), making it Nothing’s most advanced smartphone so far.
One of the biggest highlights is the software support. The Nothing Phone (3) will come with 5 years of Major Android updates and 7 years of security patches. This makes it the first Nothing device to offer such long-term support. In comparison, the Phone (2) provided 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches.
On the hardware side, the Phone (3) will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, which is an upgrade over the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip found in the Phone (2). The company says users can expect 88% better GPU performance, 33% better CPU performance, and a 125% boost in NPU performance compared to the Phone (2). The new chipset is also expected to offer better battery optimisation.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Akis Evangelidis, co-founder and Head of Marketing at Nothing, called the Phone (3) “our first true flagship and a major step up from Phone (2).” He also shared that the camera is getting a major upgrade. The Phone (3) will feature a Spectra 18-bit Triple ISP, which can separate and enhance different parts of an image in real time. This will improve detail, colour accuracy, and overall image quality.
The Nothing Phone (3) will be officially launched on July 1, and more details about the device are expected to be announced at that time.
