The wait is nearly over! Nothing has officially announced that its new Phone (3) will launch on July 1, 2025. This will be the company’s first real flagship phone. For the first time, it will use a powerful, latest-generation chip — the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, which means the Phone 3 will be faster and more powerful than ever.
Massive Performance Boost
With the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 powering it, the Phone 3 is expected to be much faster and more powerful than the Phone 2. According to Nothing, users can look forward to:
- Up to 36% faster CPU speed
- Around 88% stronger GPU performance
- A 60% boost in AI and NPU tasks
This means the phone will work faster, run graphics-heavy games more smoothly, and handle AI features like voice commands and smart photo editing more efficiently.
A Balanced Flagship Approach
While the Phone 3 won’t use Qualcomm’s top-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Elite chip, it will still have the powerful 8s Gen 4 processor. Nothing chose this to keep the phone more affordable while improving other key areas like design, battery life, and camera quality.
By skipping the most expensive chip, Nothing plans to give users a premium experience at a lower price — something the brand is known for.
Expected Features
While full details will be revealed at the launch event, here are some features that are likely:
- A 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
- A 5,000mAh battery with fast charging support
- A triple camera setup, possibly without the Glyph interface
- Runs on Android 15 with Nothing OS 3
- Promises 7 years of software support (5 years of OS updates + 2 years of security patches)
This long-term update promise puts the Phone 3 in a small group of smartphones that are truly future-ready in terms of performance and security.
Launch and Availability
The official launch is set for July 1, where Phone 3 and a new pair of wireless earbuds called “Nothing Headphone 1” will be revealed. The devices are expected to go on sale soon after the event, with availability in India and other global markets.
Final Thoughts
The Nothing Phone 3 is looking like a strong contender in the flagship-killer category. With a powerful processor, stylish design, long-term software support, and features that focus on what users really need, it could be a great choice for both tech lovers and everyday users.
If you want a phone with premium features at a fair price, the Nothing Phone 3 could definitely be worth the wait.
