‘Nothing’s first true flagship smartphone’ announced for July

Nothing on Tuesday (May 20, 2025) formally announced the launch of Nothing Phone 3 in July 2025 on X. The London based company has said that it will be “Nothing’s first true flagship smartphone — built with premium materials, major performance upgrades, and software that genuinely levels things up.”

Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei said at The Android Show: I/O Edition that the Phone 3 will be priced above £800. If he was serious about it, then the price translates above ₹90,000 in India.

It is hard to believe that a company which sells phones in above ₹30,000 price range suddenly goes beyond 90k to launch a phone in a price sensitive market like India, where the premium segment in led by Apple, Samsung and OnePlus.

Anyway, the Nothing Phone 3 will succeed the Phone 2 launched in July 2023. After that the company launched Phone 3a and 3a Pro in 2025, but skipped Phone 3.

A more than 5,000 mAh battery is also expected in Phone 3 but without a charger.

Triple 50 MP rear camera set up can be a possibility in Phone 3 along with a 32 MP selfie camera. The rear is more likely to have a dedicated telephoto lens.

Phone 3 could also use a 6.78 inch of flexible LTPO AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits.
