Mark your calendars! Nothing’s biggest phone yet, the highly anticipated Phone 3, officially launches in India on July 1, 2025. This isn’t just an upgrade; it’s being pitched as the brand’s first true flagship, packing premium materials and cutting-edge tech. The star under the hood? Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei promises it delivers a massive 36% CPU speed boost over the Phone 2, plus huge jumps in graphics (GPU) and AI (NPU) performance.
Long-Term Love: Software Support You Can Count On
Nothing isn’t just focusing on hardware. They’ve already committed to impressive long-term software support for the Phone 3. Expect five full years of major Android OS updates and seven years of critical security patches. This means your phone stays fresh and secure far longer than most.
Design Evolution: The Glyph Gets a Matrix Makeover
The signature transparent look stays, but the iconic Glyph lighting on the back gets a revolutionary redesign. Forget the light strips! Leaked images and official hints reveal a brand new “Glyph Matrix”. Imagine a compact dot-matrix LED display tucked into the top-right corner of the clear back panel.
This isn’t just for show. This mini-LED panel can animate graphics – think battery levels, call alerts, notifications, and more, similar to some gaming phones. Essentially, Nothing has replaced the old Glyph bar with this versatile LED matrix, offering a fresh, visual way for your phone to communicate with you.

Performance Punch & Camera Credentials
The Phone 3 aims squarely at the premium market. Powered by that Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, Nothing claims users will feel the difference – that ~36% faster CPU, plus roughly 88% stronger graphics and 60% better AI processing compared to the Phone 2. It’s expected in powerful configurations, potentially up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
Rumors suggest a large, beautiful ~6.8-inch AMOLED display. The camera setup also sounds serious: a triple-lens system featuring a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), an ultra-wide lens, and a periscope telephoto lens for better zoom. To keep it all running, a beefy battery exceeding 5,000 mAh is likely. These specs, combined with the new chip, position the Phone 3 as a strong contender against other high-end Android flagships.
Launch Date & Indian Price Expectations
Circle July 1st – that’s the official global launch date. Nothing is making it a double feature, also unveiling their new Headphone (1) wearable the same day. Price whispers point to around $799internationally.
Here’s the good news for India: If Nothing follows its usual playbook (pricing phones roughly ₹15,000 lower here than the US price), we can expect the Phone 3 to hit Indian shelves around ₹58,000 to ₹60,000.
This positions it firmly in the premium segment but offers Indian buyers a potentially more attractive price point. In short, the Nothing Phone 3 is shaping up with a unique blend: its innovative Glyph Matrix design, the powerhouse Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, and competitive pricing look set to be its major strengths as launch day arrives.
