Nothing Phone (3), Headphone (1) set to launch on July 1: What we know so far
Nothing is gearing up to unveil its highly anticipated Phone (3), which the company is positioning as its first 'true flagship' smartphone, at a major launch event in London, United Kingdom on Tuesday, July 1. Alongside the Nothing Phone (3), the British tech startup is also expected to introduce its first over-ear headphones called Headphone (1). There have been several leaks and rumours swirling about the design of the Nothing Phone (3) as well as the Headphone (1) in the run-up to the event. While customers do not have to wait long to see if these leaks and rumours are true, here's what we know so far about the Nothing Phone (3) and Headphone (1). In a video on the Android Show channel on YouTube, Nothing CEO Carl Pei announced that the Phone (3) will be priced around 800 pounds, which currently translates to $1,063 or Rs 90,500, taking into consideration the current exchange rate. This is almost double the price of the Phone (2), Nothing's most expensive smartphone to date. Pei also said that the phone would be designed out of 'premium materials' and will come up with major performance as well as software upgrades that will 'level things up'. The company has also confirmed that the incoming flagship will be powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. It will also boast a 50-megapixel primary camera that has been 'built for creators'. — Nothing (@nothing) June 26, 2025 A few days ago, the company's official handle on X posted a series of images that appear to have been captured using the Phone (3) with impressive zoom capabilities. The Phone (3) will also boast a Glyph matrix on the top-right corner of the smartphone. Coming to the design, a leaked image revealed that the Phone (3) has a translucent back and three center-aligned cameras. However, a newer image posted by Android Headlines shows an entirely different design with a separation between the three cameras. When light becomes language. Introducing the Glyph Matrix. Phone (3). 1 July. — Nothing (@nothing) June 19, 2025 The renderings show two cameras lined up next to each other and another that's in the corner of the phone and not really aligned with anything else. While the design renderings have not been confirmed by Nothing, it would be a bold camera layout if the leaks turn out to be true. Nothing has also announced that the Phone (3) will receive software support for a minimum of seven years, with five years of full Android OS updates and another two years of security patches only. With Android 16 having been released earlier this month, the Nothing Phone (3) is likely to run on the latest version of Android out of the box. In terms of India pricing, the Phone (3) is expected to come with a price tag of Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000 given the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset under the hood and premium flagship experience. It has also been rumoured that the Phone (3) will have a dedicated button that offers quick access to AI features, similar to the Nothing Phone (3a) series. But this will probably be confirmed only at the launch on July 1. Last month, Nothing posted a video in which it announced that it would be launching over-ear headphones for the first time in summer 2025. There has not been much else teased about the Nothing Headphone (1), except that Tom Ridley, one of the company's designers, said that they are looking to make 'a more interesting looking pair of headphones that say something about you.' Adam Bates, Nothing's global design director, also suggested that its buttons will feature distinct designs for each control function. Based on leaked photos and videos, the Headphone (1) sports a squircle earcup with Nothing's signature transparent elements and support for what appears to be a 3.5mm audio cable. In another set of unverified, leaked images shared on Instagram, the earcups for the Headphone (1) seem to resemble quirky cassette tapes. It show the headphones in black or silver colourways, with 'Nothing Headphone 1' and 'Sound by KEF' branding printed on either earcup.

Nothing Phone 3 is launching in 3 days and here is everything we know about it so far
Nothing Phone 3 is just 3 days away from its India launch, and we cannot keep calm. While the company is yet to fully unveil its upcoming flagship, the rumours have been churning since the beginning. The company has revealed that the phone will come equipped with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, a 50-megapixel primary camera and a new Glyph matrix. But this is not it, several leaks making rounds on social media also portray a good-enough picture to speculate about what the Nothing Phone 3 will bring. Let's look at what we know about the upcoming Nothing's flagship -- the Phone 3-- so Phone 3 India launch on July 1: Everything we knowDesign and display: Nothing has been playing its cards close to its chest when it comes to the design of the upcoming Nothing Phone 3, building anticipation and fuelling speculation among fans. While the company has dropped a handful of cryptic teasers and close-up visuals, it has yet to officially unveil the device in full. However, what is known is that the brand is doing away with its signature Glyph lighting interface, a traditional hallmark of its earlier models, and replacing it with a new 'Glyph Matrix', positioned in the top-right corner of the rear to alleged renders recently shared by Android Headlines, the Nothing Phone 3 will be available in two classic shades: black and white. The front is expected to feature a punch-hole display design, while the back showcases the revamped Glyph Matrix — a notable design shift from previous generations. The overall aesthetic bears some resemblance to the earlier Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro models, though subtle differences in shape and detail are evident. Nothing Phone 3 renders (Photo credit: Android Headline) advertisement One of the standout features of the leaked renders is the new camera layout. Unlike the typical vertical or horizontal alignment, the Nothing Phone 3 appears to have a slightly unconventional setup. The top camera sensor is placed separately on the left-hand side of the device, while the remaining two lenses are aligned next to one another near the edge of the phone. This unique arrangement lends a distinct identity to the handset and supports previous teaser images released by the In a recent teaser posted on X (formerly Twitter), Nothing offered a first proper glimpse at the upcoming Phone 3, confirming that the device will feature a 50-megapixel periscope lens — a clear indication that the phone is being positioned as 'built for creators.' In a follow-up post, the company shared a series of images that appear to have been captured using the Phone 3, showcasing the handset's impressive zoom capabilities, including what seems to be a telemacro marks a significant leap forward from the Phone 2, which notably lacked a telephoto lens entirely. That model was limited to just two cameras: a wide and an ultrawide sensor. The introduction of a dedicated zoom lens on the Phone 3 is certainly a welcome upgrade for photography enthusiasts and content creators Ahead of its official debut, Nothing has confirmed that the upcoming Phone 3 will be powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, positioning it as a strong contender in the premium smartphone segment. This marks a notable performance leap over its predecessor and signals Nothing's intention to compete more seriously with flagship devices from rival addition to the hardware upgrade, the company has made a bold commitment on the software front. Nothing has announced that the Phone 3 will receive software support for a minimum of 7 years — a promise that sets it apart in a market where long-term updates are still far from those seven years, five will include full Android OS updates, ensuring users get access to the latest features and improvements. The remaining two years will provide security patches only, maintaining device safety and stability even as major feature updates Phone 3: Price expectationsThe Nothing Phone 3 is officially set to launch on July 1 at an event in London. Alongside the new smartphone, the company is also expected to unveil its first pair of over-ear headphones, aptly named Headphones 1, which are rumoured to rival high-end offerings from the likes of Sony and for the pricing of the Phone 3, there's still no confirmed figure. However, considering the premium Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset under the hood and the way Nothing has positioned the device as a 'true flagship,' it's reasonable to expect a price tag in the region of Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000. This would place it firmly in the upper mid-range to flagship category, signalling Nothing's intent to take on more established players in the premium smartphone space.- Ends

The Nothing Phone 3 might have the weirdest camera design out there
Earlier this month, I wrote about a leaked image of what was rumored to be the Nothing Phone 3. That image showed a design with a translucent back and three center-aligned cameras. But a new set of supposed Nothing Phone 3 images reveal a different design — with one of the wildest camera layouts I've ever seen. Renders from Android Headlines show a phone with a translucent back but three cameras in a weirdly separated layout. Instead of a neat triangle like on Pro iPhones or the camera bar on Pixels, these renders show two cameras lined up next to each other and another that's in the corner of the phone and not really aligned with anything else. It's kind of like the bold camera layout for the Nothing 3A Pro, but even bolder. Details from teases directly from Nothing indicate that these renders could be representative of the real deal. Yesterday, for example, Nothing posted an image of the Phone 3's 50MP periscope lens on X, and its placement and design appear to match up with one of the cameras in the renders from Android Headlines. Nothing has also teased something it calls the 'Glyph Matrix' on the top-right corner of the phone, and Android Headlines' renders include an element that looks like it could be the Glyph Matrix in that same spot. We don't have long to wait to see if these renders are an early look at the phone's design. Nothing is set to fully reveal the Phone 3 – and the translucent, over-ear Headphone 1 headphones – on July 1st.

Nothing's Phone 3 Hasn't Even Launched and It's Already Pissing People Off
Nothing's Phone 3 hasn't officially launched yet, but thanks to what looks like a major leak from Android Headlines, the internet—as it often does—is having some discourse . Just like with Nothing's incoming Headphone 1, leaks suggest that the company is taking a pretty big swing on the design for its flagship phone, and I'm not sure if that swing is quite connecting. Name a bigger downgrade — Noah Cat (@Cartidise) June 26, 2025 One of the biggest changes is that the Glyph Interface is dead. Last month, Nothing posted on X: 'We killed the Glyph Interface.' That design feature—a bunch of LED lights on the back of the phone that flash for notifications and timers—will be replaced with a small dot matrix display in the phone's top right. If the new 'Glyph Matrix' is as capable as its predecessor is anyone's guess, but it definitely has much smaller footprint. Just take a look for yourself: When light becomes language. Introducing the Glyph Matrix. Phone (3). 1 July. — Nothing (@nothing) June 19, 2025 With that shift away from a large Glyph Interface, there also seems to be a big aesthetic tweak to how the phone's backplate looks. For some devices, switching up the backside of the phone might not be a big deal, but Nothing has made something of a name for itself with its 'transparent' design, so it's only natural that fans might react strongly to any tweaks. And react strongly, they have… Honestly, I'm at a loss for words. I haven't seen a design downgrade this disappointing in a long time. It's almost as if a 10-year-old was handed a puzzle and while all the pieces fit together, the end result just doesn't look right at all. Credits: — Chandan (@that_chand) June 26, 2025 For the record, it's not 100% confirmed if this is truly what the Phone 3 will look like when it's released early next month, but if it is, it's certainly going to polarize fans. To me, it looks a lot like the Phone 3a, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but maybe a strange choice if you want to differentiate your flagship phone from your more midrange-focused device. The element that seems to be dividing everyone is how the periscope zoom lens (that's the one shown in the upper left corner of the leaked images) is misaligned with the main and ultrawide lenses. Why is it off-kilter? It looks like a design mistake. In portrait or landscape orientation, it just looks… strange. And think about what kind of weird-ass cutout cases will need to have to protect around the three camera lenses. To be fair, the Phone 3a Pro also has a misaligned periscope zoom lens that turned heads but also turned people off. Nothing's always found creative—and sometimes cringey—ways to build up buzz for its new product launches, and by going with such a bizarre camera lens design, it's definitely generated a lot of opinions on both sides of the spectrum. One thing I will say is that I really don't love the camera system. Like the Phone 3a Pro, the Phone 3 appears to include a periscope camera, which is great for enhancing optical zoom but also juts out slightly from the device. Personally, I find its presence in a camera system kind of annoying—I said as much when I reviewed the Phone 3a Pro when it came out. I'm not saying solid optical zoom isn't nice to have—it is—but for me, the footprint that it leaves on a phone or camera module is too great to justify the benefits. But hey, different strokes for different folks. I've seen some evangelists out there, too, so it's too early to say whether this thing is really going to rub people the wrong way, though there is a pretty vocal chorus of critics right now. Unpopular opinion but I absolutely love the design of the Nothing Phone (3). I feel that the Glyph Matrix will be more useful. The camera setup looks unlike anything else. Flat metal sides & thin bezels are good too. #Phone3 — Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) June 27, 2025 I guess we'll find out soon whether it's a hit or a miss, so if you're not a fan, try and save some of that heat for the phone's official reveal on July 1. If you love this thing, then get ready to defend it or just put your money where your mouth is and buy one at what's expected to be flagship pricing.

Nothing Phone 3 design just leaked in full — here's what the new renders show
The Nothing Phone 3 is coming very soon, and should feature a whole new design. The question is, what is that design actually going to look like? Well, these newly leaked renders (via Android Headlines) show off the phone from just about every angle. Unsurprisingly, Nothing is carrying on with the design style that it's best known for — with similarities to the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro. You get the same semi-transparent look, and the unique arrangement of the rear camera array. Admittedly there's also no visible Glyph Interface hardware, meaning that Nothing's trademark rear-mounted lights may not be coming. The company did warn us this would be happening. However, there is an LED Glyph Matrix in the top right corner of the phone. The images show that being used as some kind of equalizer, which could add that unique "wow" factor to the phone in place of the Glyphs. There's also the opportunity for better personalization, thanks to the multitude of LED lights. Color wise, if Android Headlines' info is accurate, we're looking at a choice of white, black or blue. I use the word leak quite lightly here, because Nothing has a habit of revealing a bunch of key phone specs ahead of the official launch. Like the fact the Phone 3 won't have a Glyph interface on the back. One of those reveals is that the Phone 3 will be powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. While not quite as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Elite found in other flagship phones it's still a new chip that should prove better than other options. And for a cheaper price. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. There's also confirmed to be a 50MP telephoto camera, and while we've not been given exact confirmation, rumor has it that the main and ultrawide lenses will have the same resolution. The rumors also suggest that we'll get a 5,150 MAh battery, 100W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. And it's all packed into a 6.7-inch phone with a FHD+ OLED display. We don't have long to find out, though, since the Nothing Phone 3 launch event is scheduled to take place next week on July 1 at 6 p.m. BST / 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT.
