The buzzed-about Nothing Phone 3 will arrive later this year. Details are hard to come by, but here’s what we anticipate so far about the debut of this next-gen phone.

When Could the Nothing Phone 3 Be Released?

The Nothing Phone 3 is set to be revealed on July 1, 2025, at 1pm ET.

This makes sense considering the following:

• The Nothing Phone 1 arrived in July 2022, followed by the Nothing Phone 2 in July 2023. It follows that v3 will be ready soon.
• The mid-range series is already here. The company announced the Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro on March 4, 2025.

Is Nothing Even Considering the Release of Any Kind of Phone?

The company has a clear interest in refreshing the lineup. A new Nothing Phone arrived in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. It makes sense that this trajectory would lead to yet another release—this time, the Nothing Phone 3.

Our Thoughts on Potential Nothing Phone 3 Features

Since the Phone 3 isn’t an official product, it’s hard to say for sure what we’ll see in it. But we still have some guesses.

The Phone 2 made significant strides with a 4,700-mAh battery, an impressive boost compared to the Phone 1’s 4500 mAh (for comparison, the iPhone 15 Plus has a 4,383-mAh battery).

The newest model is likely to improve upon these gains and catch up with competitors by offering faster wired charging and bigger capacity.

While the overall look is likely going to remain untouched, if we had to put our money on one sure thing for the Phone 3, we’d say the signature Nothing Phone Glyph interface will see improvements akin to what we’ve seen from the Phone 1 to Phone 2.

The Phone 2 added six more LED panels, customizable notifications, and a composer for arranging ringtones.

Since release and ordering details are slim to none, pricing information is still forthcoming as well. However, based on past trends, it’s not unreasonable to believe that the Nothing Phone 3 will be priced similarly to the Phone 2, which starts at $599.

What Industry Experts Are Saying

A lot of buzz surrounds the processor Nothing will land on for its third-generation flagship phone. The Phone 2 leveled up from the Phone 1’s Snapdragon 778G+ to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.

Some speculation says that the Phone 3 will get a considerable upgrade. A leak on 91mobiles.com points to a Phone 3 with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, two big rungs above the Phone 2’s processor. Another idea is that the Phone 3 will stick to the trend of previous-generation chips, which would point toward a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Phone 3.

The dual-camera design of the Phone 1 and Phone 2 will likely carry over. Phone Arena reports that the Phone 3 might get Sony’s latest LYTIA sensor lineup, which could mean even more control and a richer photo-taking experience in various lighting conditions and environments.

Nothing CEO Carl Pei teased several shots of an updated design on X. Though the below post asks for feedback on Nothing OS user interface updates, many suspect that Pei might have leaked the Nothing Phone 3.

In this rendering, it has an additional external button on the right side. Some speculate this button could mimic the iPhone 15’s Action Button.

Pei also released a video on X announcing the company’s AI prototyping. Pei alluded to a heavy AI presence on the Nothing Phone 3. The only timing clue Pei offered was a “next year” tag for the slow rollout of AI, starting with the Nothing Phone 3.
