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.

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.

Google Prepares An Android-Powered Advantage For The Pixel 10 Pro
Pixel 9 Pro XL Google's I/O Developer Conference takes place May 20-21 this year. There will no doubt be a push on the latest version of Android and the tools provided in the sixteenth major version of the mobile OS. We may also have confirmation on the potential late Q2 launch date. This is earlier than last year and will benefit the upcoming Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro handsets. Android 16 is currently in public beta and is quite far down the roadmap. The recent release opened up to support a broader range of devices, although Google's own Pixel hardware remains the lead device. Android Headlines' Stephen Schneck reports on the potential launch date for the full version: "Android 16 could arrive on June 3, according to sources known to Android Headlines. If you'll remember, this year we saw Google release Android 15 to the AOSP on September 3, followed by availability of updates for Pixel phones over a month later, on October 15." This early arrival of Android 16 bodes well for the Pixel 10 family. With the Pixel 10 family launch pencilled in for mid-August, the Pixel team has plenty of time to work with the public release of Android 16 and integrate the operating system into the Pixel hardware. Unlike 2024's Pixel 9 family, the Pixel 10 family will now debut with the latest software. Given the intense focus on smartphone artificial intelligence tools in general, and Google Gemini in particular, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro will bring the latest tools to the market and potentially set the tone of mobile AI for another twelve months.
