The Nothing Phone (3), set to launch on July 1, 2025, marks the company’s first foray into the flagship smartphone market. It aims to compete with established players in the high-end segment, building on its previous mid-range offerings. Sources suggest that the Nothing Phone (3) may feature a powerful Snapdragon chip, likely at least as capable as the Dimensity 9400e.
Speculation points towards either the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 or the Snapdragon 8 Elite, signaling a commitment to flagship performance. This anticipated hardware upgrade is one of the most exciting aspects of the phone. Another significant enhancement is expected in battery capacity.
The Nothing Phone (3) is rumored to house a battery exceeding 5,000mAh, offering a clear improvement over its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (2), which had a 4,700mAh battery. Faster charging options, including 45W wired and 15W wireless charging, are also anticipated. In terms of software, the device is likely to launch with Android 15 and an updated version of Nothing OS 3.0.
This iteration may include advanced AI features, with a particular focus on the Essential Space, an AI hub for organizing notes and screenshots. RAM configurations are another topic of interest, with rumors indicating that 12GB of RAM will be standard. There are also options for a more robust set-up with 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage, a move that aligns with both the demands of modern applications and Nothing’s goal of presenting a true flagship experience.
Lastly, the Nothing Phone (3) may introduce a redesign of the now-familiar Glyph interface. Early visuals suggest an LED-matrix animation may replace the Glyph design, indicating a shift towards a more functional aesthetic while enhancing the overall user experience.
