London-based tech company Nothing is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated flagship smartphone, the Nothing Phone 3, on July 1. The device is already generating buzz, thanks to a series of teasers and leaks that highlight major upgrades across design, performance, and camera capabilities.
50MP Periscope Telephoto Camera Confirmed
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Nothing officially confirmed that the Phone 3 will sport a 50MP periscope telephoto lens—a first for the brand. This sensor is expected to significantly enhance zoom performance and portrait photography. The accompanying teaser image also showcases a redesigned camera module, featuring exposed screws and clean, angular contours on the back panel.
Bold New Glyph Matrix Design
Nothing has also revealed a reimagined version of its signature glyph lighting system, dubbed the Glyph Matrix. According to promotional visuals, this new matrix will be situated near the top edge of the device, right next to the camera module. While the exact function remains unclear, it may offer enhanced visual notifications or serve new interactive purposes.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Chipset for Major Performance Boost
At the heart of the Phone 3 lies Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, which promises a substantial leap in performance. The new chip is said to deliver up to 49% faster GPU speeds compared to its predecessor, making the device ideal for gamers and power users alike.
Big Battery and Fast Charging
The Nothing Phone 3 will come equipped with a 5,150mAh battery (model NT05A), ensuring extended usage throughout the day. It will also support 65W fast wired charging, allowing users to quickly power up their devices with minimal downtime.
Runs on Nothing OS 3.3 with Android 15
On the software front, the device will debut with Nothing OS 3.3, which is based on Android 15. Users can expect a clean, bloat-free experience with unique design elements that align with the brand’s minimalist aesthetic.
Connectivity and Color Options
Connectivity features include tri-band Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, and NFC support—making the device well-suited for high-speed networks and contactless payments. The Nothing Phone 3 will be offered in two color options: White and Blue.
Expected Pricing in India
While the official price will be announced during the launch, insider leaks suggest that the Nothing Phone 3 could be priced around Rs 60,000 in India. This would place it in the upper mid-range to lower flagship category, marking it as the most premium offering from the company to date.
Final Thoughts
With an upgraded camera, high-performance chipset, large battery, and bold design changes, the Nothing Phone 3 appears to be a serious contender in the flagship smartphone space. All eyes will be on the July 1 launch event for more details and hands-on impressions.
