Nothing Phone (3) Launching Today in India: Specs, Price, and How to Watch Live
Nothing company is all set to launch its new smartphone – the much-awaited Nothing Phone (3). The official launch event will be held tonight in London and streamed live for viewers around the world. This will be the company’s third smartphone and is expected to be its first true flagship device. The phone will be launched globally, including in India.
The Nothing Phone (3) launch event will begin at 6 PM BST, which is 10:30 PM IST for Indian viewers. Fans in India can watch the live event on the official Nothing YouTube channel. The company has also shared the livestream link on its social media pages under the event name ‘Nothing Event: Come to Play’.
While the official price of the Phone (3) has not been revealed yet, Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei has hinted that it could cost around £800, which is approximately Rs 90,000 in India. This would make it much more expensive than the Nothing Phone (2), which launched at a starting price of Rs 45,000. So, pricing for the Nothing Phone (3) would be around Rs 60,000 to Rs 70,000.
As for the specifications, the Nothing Phone (3) is expected to offer top-tier performance and features. It may come with a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device will likely be the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, which brings major improvements in CPU, GPU, and NPU performance.
In terms of cameras, the phone is rumored to have a triple-camera setup: a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, a 50MP main camera, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. It could also feature a large 5150mAh battery (currently it’s rated) with 65W fast wired charging, along with support for wireless and reverse wireless charging.
Another big highlight is the introduction of the new Glyph Matrix, which will replace the older Glyph Interface. This updated system is expected to offer a more advanced and stylish notification light setup near the rear camera. On the software side, the Phone (3) is expected to receive 5 years of Android updates and 7 years of security patches. The device will come running Nothing OS 3.3 based on Android 15.
It’s important to note that these details are based on leaks and early information. The final specifications, features, and pricing will be officially confirmed during the event tonight.
Nothing has released a big new update for its Essential Space feature. This update brings powerful tools that make the AI interface more useful, personal, and easy to control.
What is Essential Space?
Essential Space is a smart feature that was first launched with the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro. It helps users collect, manage, and remember information better by using AI tools. It is accessed by separate button called Essential Key.
What’s New in This Update?
- Google Calendar Integration:
Now, your tasks and events created by AI in Essential Space will automatically appear in your Google Calendar. This makes it easier to stay on top of your schedule.- Editable Memory:
You can now edit the tasks and summaries made by the AI. If the AI makes a mistake — like the wrong meeting time — you can fix it yourself.
- Essential Recorder (Now Editable):
Record meetings, interviews, or conversations, and get AI-made summaries and transcripts. A new “Flip-to-Record” feature lets you start recording just by placing your phone face down — a simple and private way to capture audio.
- Essential Recorder (Now Shareable):
You can now share your recordings as images, PDFs, or Markdown files with just one tap.
Availability
These new Essential Recorder features are already available on the Nothing Phone (3). They will soon come to the Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, and CMF Phone 2 Pro.
Please note:
The Flip-to-Record feature will only work on the Phone (3).
The Essential Space update will be delivered automatically through the Google Play Store.
Nothing has started rolling out the first official software update for the newly launched Nothing Phone (3). This update does not bring a new OS version, as it remains on Nothing OS 3.5, but the build number has changed to Metroid-V3.5-250711-2047-IND. The update size is 257 MB and includes several new features, improvements, and bug fixes that enhance the overall experience.
One of the key improvements is to the Glyph Interface. A new Caller ID feature has been added, allowing users to long-press the Glyph button during a call to display the contact’s name or phone number. The Essential Notification system now supports selecting either built-in or custom icons. Users will also get access to generative ringtones that include Glyph Matrix lighting effects and randomly generated vibrations. In addition, the visual effects of the Glyph interface have been improved, the stability of Glyph Toys has been enhanced, and the Glyph button is now more responsive to avoid accidental touches.
The Essential Space feature has also been upgraded. It now supports “Flip to Record,” which lets users flip the phone face down and long-press the Essential Key to instantly start taking meeting notes. These notes are automatically saved in a to-do list format, making it easier to organize tasks.
The camera system has received some significant updates as well. Core imaging enhancements have been made to improve HDR, Night Mode, and Snapshot scenes for both front and rear cameras. These changes result in better brightness control and cleaner images. HDR video processing has also been improved, offering more natural brightness and better display performance. The UltraXDR Display has been upgraded too, ensuring smoother transitions between highlights and shadows.
There are many other system improvements included in this update. The performance of a popular battle royale game has been boosted to support 120 FPS, and Wi-Fi latency has been reduced during gaming for a better experience. Private Space now allows users to switch the default Gallery app, and pocket mode has been improved to prevent accidental touches. The audio experience has also been refined by fixing noise issues that occurred while toggling spatial audio during music playback.
The update also addresses slow or inconsistent charging problems and fixes an abnormal battery level display after charging. Lastly, overall system performance and power consumption have been optimized to ensure a more stable and efficient experience.
Earlier, users of Nothing Phones were able to activate the Essential Search Bar by updating the Nothing Launcher to the latest version. While it brought some improvements, a few features were still missing — especially the useful AI Search option.
Actually, it’s from the Nothing Phone (3), which is running the latest Nothing OS 3.5 update and already has all the Essential Search features fully functional.
This new Essential AI Search (Universal Search) allows users to search for anything directly from the home screen or app drawer — no need to open Google Chrome. It shows relevant results, including images, and sometimes gives quick answers in paragraph form. However, in some cases, it may not show images.
Now, older Nothing Phones can also get this feature! We have extracted the APK (installation file) from the new Nothing Phone (3), and it works smoothly on older devices too.
Important:
Before installing the APK, make sure your phone already has Nothing Launcher version 3.3.4 or later.
