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.
Google has already revealed the design of all four Pixel 10 series phones and confirmed that the official launch event will take place on August 20. But a new tip gives us a possible answer to the next big question — when can you buy one?
According to a source working at a phone retail shop, the Pixel 10 Pro will go on sale on August 20, the same day as the launch event. This may mark the start of pre-orders, with deliveries and open sales likely to begin a few days later.
While this tip focuses only on the 10 Pro, there’s a chance the entire Pixel 10 lineup could follow a similar schedule. Last year, Google launched the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL in August, while the smaller Pro and Fold models arrived in September. But this time, it seems likely the 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL will launch together. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s timeline remains uncertain.
If the Pixel 10 series follows the same pattern as the Pixel 9 series:
- Unveil and pre-orders: August 20
- Shipping and open sales: Likely to begin around August 29
It’s also possible that the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a will launch on a similar timeline, as Google tends to bundle announcements and sales for its ecosystem of devices.
While this information can’t be fully confirmed yet it does line up with Google’s usual release strategy so fans can expect more official news very soon.
Oppo launched the K13 Turbo series smartphones in China last week, and it has been teasing these phones in India for the past few days. Oppo hasn’t revealed when it will launch the K13 Turbo series in India, but we’ve learned from a reliable source that the lineup will debut in India in the week of August 11. To be more precise, between August 11 and August 14.
Oppo’s K13 Turbo series includes two phones – the Oppo K13 Turbo and the Oppo K13 Turbo Pro. Both have similar designs and specs, with the most significant difference being the chipset. The K13 Turbo is powered by the Dimensity 8450 SoC, while the K13 Turbo Pro has the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip at the helm.
One of the biggest highlights of these phones is the built-in cooling fan, advertised to help the devices run 2–4°C cooler under high-load conditions. Oppo’s Indian branch said this fan module will be IPX6, IPX8, and IPX9-rated, and the smartphones will have 7,000 mAh batteries under the hood.
We are yet to get an official confirmation on whether or not the Oppo K13 Turbo and K13 Turbo Pro’s Indian models will share the design and specs with their Chinese counterparts.
