Nothing Phone (3) available for pre-order from July 4: Check price, specs and other details
Featuring a 10-bit 6.67-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and outdoor brightness of 1,600 nits, the Nothing Phone (3) is powered by the newly launched Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a powerful chipset that can be found on some mid-range phones like the Poco F7 and the iQOO Neo 10. Compared to its predecessor – the Phone (2), Nothing claims that its newest device sports a 36 per cent faster CPU, 88 per cent faster GPU and performs AI tasks about 60 per cent faster.
The back of the phone carries over Nothing's transparent design language with geometric patterns. You also get a triple camera setup that consists of a 50MP primary sensor in addition to a 50MP ultrawide shooter and a 50MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The front of the phone also houses a 50MP selfie shooter. And while the rear cameras can capture videos in 4K resolution, for reasons unknown, the selfie camera can only record in Full HD (1080p).
Apart from the volume rocker and the power button, you also get the Essential Key, which was introduced earlier this year with the Nothing Phone 3a series. The Nothing Phone (3) comes with Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15 out of the box, with the company promising 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security patches.
As one would expect from a flagship device, you also get IP68 dust and water resistance, with the front and back of the phone protected by Gorilla Glass 7i and Gorilla Glass Victus, respectively. All of this is backed by a 5,500mAh battery that supports 65W wired and 15W wireless charging.
The Nothing Phone (3) is available in two colourways – Black and White. The base variant of the phone – which comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, is priced at Rs 79,999, while the 16GB RAM and 512GB version can be purchased for Rs 89,999. The company is also offering a special introductory offer where customers who pre-order the device will get one more year of warranty.

Mandya varsity gets AICTE nod to launch MBA, MCA programmes
Mandya: In a major boost to higher education in the region, Mandya University received approval from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to launch MBA and MCA programmes starting from the 2025-26 academic year. Additionally, the university is introducing emerging technology subjects—Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Cloud Computing—as optional electives in the Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) programme. Until now, students from Mandya aspiring to pursue postgraduate degrees in business administration or computer applications had to travel to other cities, often facing challenges related to travel, expenses, and accommodation. With this new development, students will now have the opportunity to continue their higher studies closer to home. Speaking to TOI, K Shivachithappa, vice-chancellor of Mandya University, said, "We received AICTE approval a few days ago. Many of our students pursuing BBA, BCom, and BCA were struggling to continue their studies in MBA and MCA due to the lack of local options. This initiative will provide much-needed relief and create new opportunities within the district." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Affordability for students: VC The university has allocated 120 seats for MBA and 60 seats for MCA, with admissions being routed through the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA). "This ensures affordability for students, with annual fees set at approximately Rs 75,000 for MBA and Rs 49,000 for MCA. In case seats remain unfilled through KEA, they will be filled through the roster system," Shivachithappa added. He also highlighted that the university has the necessary infrastructure and faculty in place to effectively deliver these programmes. "This move will also help the university generate internal resources and elevate its academic profile," he noted. Recognising the growing demand for AI and related fields, the university's syndicate approved the inclusion of AI, ML, and Cloud Computing as optional subjects in the BCA curriculum from this academic year. Looking ahead, the university is also preparing to launch Master of Physical Education (MPEd) and MEd programmes. While these will not begin this academic year, the groundwork for their introduction in the next academic cycle is already under way. This development marks a significant step in strengthening Mandya University's academic offerings and making quality higher education more accessible to local students.

Surat launches India's first solar smart bus stand with Wi-Fi, charging facilities
Surat on Wednesday launched India's first solar-powered smart bus station. Developed by the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC), the innovative electric bus depot at Althan has been built at a cost of Rs 1.60 crore and is being seen as a model of sustainable urban infrastructure for the rest of the high-tech facility is equipped with a 100 kW rooftop solar power plant and a 224 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Designed in collaboration with the German development agency GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft fr Internationale Zusammenarbeit), the station provides 24x7 green charging support through solar energy and repurposed second-life batteries. advertisementAdditionally, the station offers amenities such as free Wi-Fi, lighting for buses, and charging points, contributing to an improved commuter experience. Prakash Pandya, Executive Engineer at the Light and Energy Efficiency Cell of SMC, said that the solar power plant captures energy during the day, which is then stored in second-life batteries and used to charge electric buses at night. This approach not only eases the pressure on the local electricity grid but also advances the use of renewable energy in public transport. According to estimates, the solar bus depot is expected to generate about 1 lakh units of electricity annually, translating to energy cost savings of approximately Rs 6.65 lakh. More importantly, it serves as a crucial step towards achieving net-zero energy goals and fostering sustainable transport solutions in the project as a blend of advanced technology and environmental responsibility, Pandya said the initiative sets a benchmark in the reuse of batteries and clean energy deployment. "This is not just about infrastructure," he noted. "It's a long-term effort to make public transport green, efficient, and future-ready," he added.- Ends
