Well, this processor may raise some eyebrows among buyers since the processor is not as flagship as the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It is said to be a cut-down version in terms of the GPU. Additionally, it does not come with an Oryon CPU, lacks K video recording, 4K/120fps slow-motion video, and more, which we usually expect from a flagship device. While it misses out on some features, it is still a powerful processor with impressive architecture. Therefore, it will be quite interesting to see the real-world usage of the processor with the Nothing Phone 3 model.
This year, Nothing is focusing on refining the design, performance, software, and bringing AI to the smartphone. While the official specifications are under the covers, the Nothing Phone 3 is expected to feature a 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1600nits peak brightness. It will likely feature a triple camera setup that may include a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Lastly, it is expected to be backed by a 5000mAh battery.

Nothing Phone 3 India launch tomorrow: Expected price, design, specs and everything else
The Nothing Phone 3 will launch in India on July 1, which is tomorrow. The device is coming nearly two years after the launch of the Nothing Phone 2. While the company has been tight-lipped about the full specifications, several leaks and teasers over the past few weeks have left little to the imagination. From a new camera system to faster charging and a fresh design language, the Phone 3 could be a step forward in many ways. Unlike the previous models that leaned heavily on design to grab attention, the focus this time seems to be more balanced — offering a mix of good looks, improved performance, and practical upgrades. The most notable change appears to be in the camera department, but there are improvements across the board. Here are the details based on the Phone 3 India launch tomorrow: Expected price, design, specs and everything elseNew processor?According to leaks, the Nothing Phone 3 will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. This is a big upgrade over the Snapdragon 778G SoC seen on the previous model. While it's not the top-of-the-line chip from Qualcomm, it is still part of the flagship series and should deliver smooth performance for most users. For everyday tasks, gaming, and multitasking, this processor should be more than capable, especially when combined with higher RAM options. However, companies like iQOO (Neo 10) and Poco (F7) are offering phones with the same chip for under Rs 35,000. It will be interesting to see how Nothing will convince users to buy its new offering at a premium is tipped to offer the Phone 3 in two configurations, one with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, and another with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. This gives users the choice to go for more memory if needed, something power users will likely camera upgrades?advertisement The biggest highlight of the Phone 3 could be its new camera setup. Nothing has officially confirmed that the device will feature a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. This will be the first time a Nothing phone includes a zoom lens, allowing up to 3x optical zoom. Along with this, leaks suggest there will be a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, giving the phone a triple camera setup — a clear step up from the dual-camera layout on the Phone the selfie camera is expected to get an upgrade. The front sensor may move from 32 megapixels to 50 megapixels, and there's a chance autofocus will be added this time, which would help improve selfies and video display, better batteryOn the front, the Phone 3 is likely to keep the same 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display as the Phone 2. While the size and panel might not change, LTPO tech ensures smoother refresh rates and helps save some battery. Speaking of battery, the Nothing Phone 3 could get a boost here as well, with a larger 5,150mAh unit replacing the 4,700mAh cell used in the previous what's more interesting is the rumour that it could support 100W wired charging. That would make it one of the fastest-charging phones in its segment. It is currently unknown whether the device will offer support for the wireless charging changes and Glyph updatesadvertisementNothing phones are known for their semi-transparent back design and unique Glyph interface. But this year, things might look a little different. Leaked images show a new camera arrangement with visible screws and sharper design elements. The new 'Glyph Matrix' display is expected to be placed in the top corner of the back panel, replacing the symmetrical light patterns of the previous models. Some users might find it interesting, while others may not like the change, but it does help the phone stand images also show the phone in black and off-white colours. We can see three cameras placed on different parts of the upper rear panel. There is no camera module, and the sensors are placed separately. But, they appear to be more prominent and protrude more than before. This is likely because of the added periscope lens. But nothing is confirmed and one should wait for the official and softwareAnother small but useful addition this year could be the eSIM support. This was missing on the Nothing Phone 2 and could be helpful for users who want to switch networks more easily or travel custom software, known as Nothing OS, is expected to continue offering a clean and minimal Android experience. Over time, the brand has improved software stability, and users will likely see more polish and fluid animations this time Phone 3: India price expectationsWhile global pricing leaks suggest a price tag of $799 (around Rs 68,000), the India price is expected to be more competitive. The Nothing Phone 3 might launch somewhere between Rs 50,000 and Rs 60,000, depending on the variant. This would make it a strong contender against rivals like the Pixel 9a and iPhone 16e. Carl Pei had earlier hinted that the Phone 3 could be priced at a very premium level, costing "around EUR 800." This is around $1,063 in the US and Rs 90,500 in India after conversion. Of course, this won't be the price in India because European prices are usually high. For your reference, the Nothing Phone 2 was announced in India with a starting price tag of Rs 44,999.- Ends

Nothing Headphone 1 specifications leaked: Expected to launch with 80 hours of battery life, LED charging indicators, a personal sound profile, and more
AllNewsAppsScience And Future New leak may have revealed just about every Nothing Headphones 1 spec | Credit: X Nothing Headphone 1: Nothing Headphone 1 leak captures attention before the launch, revealing features that promise a major entry into the wireless audio scene. Leaks highlight an impressive 80-hour battery life (with ANC off) and robust 40 mm drivers tuned in collaboration with respected audio firm KEF . Weighing in at 329 g, the Headphone 1 promises a blend of premium comfort and top-tier sound performance, even aiming to challenge the likes of Sony and AirPods Max. Add features like adaptive ANC, spatial audio, rapid five-minute charging, and dual-device connectivity, and it looks like Nothing is positioning this as a must-have for audio enthusiasts. With design and endurance turning heads, this leak hints at a standout debut for Nothing's first over-ear cans. Nothing Headphone 1 launch date Just stepped off stage at @sxswlondon, a massive thanks to @lucyhedges for hosting the session. We discussed how we've built @Nothing by breaking the rules: ✖️ No copy-paste features ✖️ No corporate fluff ✔️ Just beautifully bold design, genuine community co-creation, and a… — Carl Pei (@getpeid) June 5, 2025 At its launch in London on July 1 , Nothing will formally debut the Nothing Phone (3) and its first-ever headphones, the Nothing Headphone 1, after hinting at its foray into the over-ear audio industry earlier this year. However, we now get a first glimpse at what appears to be a daring new addition to Nothing's expanding product ecosystem, according to a recent leak via Android Headlines and tipster Yogesh Brar. Nothing Headphone 1 expected specifications Nothing Headphone 1 looks and feels of buttons, plush cushioning, & nifty carry the color matching as be a hit if they manage to price it under Rs 20k.. Want to see a quick hands-on?? — Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) June 28, 2025 The source indicates that the Nothing Headphone 1 will weigh 329g, significantly more than Sony's WH-1000XM6 (252g) but less than Apple's AirPods Max (384g). Nothing seems to target directly at the high-end end of the audio market, including claims that these headphones will perform better than the AirPods Max, a high standard in the realm of expensive wireless headphones. According to rumors, the main sound signature of the Headphone 1 is delivered by specially tuned 40mm speakers. However, Nothing's collaboration with British audio expert KEF is inspiring. KEF, well-known for its high-fidelity speakers and cutting-edge audio technologies, has significant audiophile credentials. The leak also suggests how long the future music device's battery would last. Users can anticipate up to 80 hours of playback with active noise cancellation (ANC) off and about 35 hours with ANC on when using the AAC codec. That equates to 54 hours with ANC off and about 30 hours with it on for users who choose higher-resolution LDAC streaming. Those figures place the Headphone 1 in a competitive market, especially for heavy listeners and long-distance travelers. Nothing has compromised on intelligent features in addition to sound and endurance. In addition to dual-device connectivity, wear detection, low-latency gaming mode, LED charging indications, a personal sound profile, and even "Find My Device" functionality, the Headphone 1 will support Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair. The company has tried to include as much functionality as possible, which, considering Nothing's often minimalist philosophy, feels pleasantly unironic. Nothing Headphone 1 expected price Although the Headphones 1's official price has not yet been disclosed, the features and performance claims indicate they will likely fall into the premium range. However, if Nothing's previous price approach is any indication, they may somewhat undercut the flagship products from Apple and Sony. The Nothing Headphone 1 is rumored to cost less than Rs 20,000.
