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.
