Nothing Phone (3) Goes Official: Price, Specifications, Features & Launch Offers
Nothing has officially launched its latest smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3), in India. This is the company’s third phone and the direct successor to the Nothing Phone (2). It comes with a refreshed design, powerful performance, and new smart features.
The Phone (3) features a large 6.67-inch AMOLED LTPS display with 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The screen supports HDR10+, 10-bit color, and can reach up to 4500 nits peak brightness, making it one of the brightest smartphone displays available. It is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i on the front.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a high-performance processor built on the 4nm process. It comes with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, ensuring smooth performance for gaming, multitasking, and everyday use.
The Phone (3) runs on Nothing OS 3.5, based on Android 15. For the first time, Nothing has promised 5 years of Android OS updates and 7 years of security patches. The company has also confirmed that Nothing OS 4.0, based on Android 16, will arrive in the third quarter of 2025.
Nothing OS 3.5 introduces several new features. One of the key highlights is the Essential Search, a smart universal search bar that can find contacts, photos, files, and even give real-time answers like weather or calendar updates. Another feature is Flip to Record – users can start recording and summarizing conversations by simply flipping the phone face down. There’s also Essential Space, an AI-powered section that organizes your notes, thoughts, and content like a personal assistant. According to the company, 1 in 5 users already use it weekly.
The iconic Glyph lighting has also evolved. The traditional LED strips are replaced with a brand-new Glyph Matrix, a 25×25 micro-LED grid (489 micro LEDs) on the back. It can display useful tools like a digital clock, solar clock, compass, stopwatch, and battery level. Nothing will also launch a Glyph SDK, allowing developers to build creative tools and features using the Glyph Matrix.
In terms of cameras, the Phone (3) is packed with impressive hardware. It has a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto lens with up to 60x digital zoom. For selfies, there’s a 50MP front camera. All four cameras support 4K video recording at 60fps, offering pro-level video capabilities.
The device comes with a large 5500mAh silicon-carbon battery, which supports 65W fast wired charging. It can charge from 0 to 100% in just 54 minutes. It also supports 15W wireless charging and 5W reverse wireless charging to power other devices. The phone is also IP68-rated, making it resistant to dust and water.

The Nothing Phone (3) is available in two color options – Black and White. It is priced at ₹79,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model, and ₹89,999 for the 16GB + 512GB model. With bank and exchange offers, the effective prices can drop to ₹62,999 and ₹72,999, respectively.

Himanshu Tandon, the head of POCO India, has stepped down from his role and is likely to join the smartphone company Nothing in August. According to a report by Moneycontrol, he is expected to lead Nothing’s CMF division.
Tandon was part of the founding team of POCO and became the head of its India operations in 2022. He worked under Sandeep Singh Arora, Xiaomi India’s Chief Business Officer, who joined the company from Samsung earlier this year.
This is the second major leadership change at Xiaomi India in less than a year. Earlier, in November 2024, Xiaomi India’s President Muralikrishnan B also left the company.
Xiaomi Faces Market Challenges, POCO Shows Growth
Tandon’s exit comes as Xiaomi is facing tough times in India. In the second quarter of 2025, the company’s smartphone shipments dropped by 25% compared to last year, falling to 5 million units. Its market share also dropped from 18% to 13%.
Despite this, POCO performed well. It increased its share of Xiaomi’s shipments in India from 30% to 41%, with 2.03 million units sold. According to Canalys, POCO’s success came from targeting Gen Z users, offering gaming features, and growing offline sales through JioMart Digital.
Tandon Likely to Lead Nothing’s CMF Division
Tandon is expected to join Nothing’s affordable and design-focused brand CMF. The London-based company recently shifted its global marketing team to India.
Nothing’s CMF brand, led by company co-founder Akis Evangelidis in India, has seen fast growth — 229% in Q2 — thanks to products like the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Phone 3a series.
Both Xiaomi and Nothing are expected to officially announce Tandon’s move in the coming days.
A new app called NoVolume is gaining attention among Nothing Phone users for its clean, minimal design that matches the unique style of Nothing OS. If you’re bored of the default Android volume slider, this app might be the perfect upgrade.
The NoVolume app lets users slide to adjust the volume smoothly, swipe right to show the default Android volume panel, and even change the position and sensitivity of the slider. It works well with Nothing Phone (1), Phone (2), Phone (2a), Phone (2a), Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, CMF Phone 1, CMF Phone 2 Pro, Nothing Phone (3) and even other Android phones.
What makes it stand out is its simple UI and customizability. It blends perfectly with the Nothing Phone’s transparent and minimal design language. Users can personalize how and where the slider appears, making it both functional and stylish.
You can download the NoVolume app from Google Play Store.
The best part? It doesn’t require root access. Just install it like any other app and start using it right away.
For those who love the Nothing OS aesthetic and want to add a new touch to their phone’s interface, the NoVolume app is worth checking out.
Nothing recently launched its Phone (3), which the company says is its first true flagship device. But now, new rumors suggest that Nothing may be planning to expand its smartphone lineup even further.
According to a well-known Indian leaker on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the company might be working on new models under the “Lite” or “T” series. The leaker claims that “Pro models are just not cutting it,” hinting that Nothing might be looking for a new direction.
It’s not completely clear which models the leaker is referring to. Recently, the only Pro version from Nothing was the Phone (3a) Pro which is a mid-range phone with better specs than the regular Phone (3a).
At this time, no detailed information has been shared about the possible Lite or T models. For example, it’s unclear whether Nothing will release a Phone (3) Lite, a Phone (3a) Lite, or both. Each could target different types of users depending on price and features.
If the rumor is true, more leaks and official updates from Nothing may follow soon. Until then, users can check out the company’s current flagship that is the Nothing Phone (3) which is already available.
