Top 5 smartphones coming this July: Nothing, Samsung, Motorola and more
For smartphone enthusiasts, July is going to be one of the most action-packed months this year. From Nothing to Vivo, several smartphone manufacturers will be launching new budget and premium phones. From Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z series to the highly anticipated Nothing Phone 3, here's a quick look at some of the best smartphones coming next month. Next month, Motorola might launch a new G series device. While the company is yet to share the name and model number of the smartphone, a Flipkart microsite suggests that it will most likely be the Moto G96. As for other specifications, leaks and rumours have suggested that the Moto G96 will most likely be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and offer up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The smartphone will come with Hello UI based on Android 15 out of the box and get 3 years of OS updates. It is expected to sport a 6.67-inch pOLED screen with a 144 Hz refresh rate and get a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP Sony LYT-700C main sensor alongside an 8MP ultrawide shooter. The microsite also shows off four colourways – with leaks hinting that it will be available in Ashleigh Blue, Cattleya Orchid (lavender), Dresden Blue and Greener Pasture. Moto G96 is expected to start from Rs 22,000, but we recommend you take this information with a grain of salt since things may change down the line. Nothing CEO Carl Pei has confirmed that it will be launching its first flagship – the Nothing Phone (3), on July 1. For its upcoming premium device, the company is ditching its iconic Glyph interface for what might be a dot matrix display on the back. As it turns out, the Nothing Phone 3 won't feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite but instead will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, which powers the likes of the iQOO Neo 10 and the recently unched Poco F7. The Nothing Phone (3) is said to come with a huge 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen and offer up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. On the back, we might see a triple camera setup that consists of a 50MP primary lens, but we don't have much information about the other lenses. Nothing has confirmed that the Phone (3) will be made from premium materials and have 'software that really levels things up.'As for the price, the Nothing Phone (3) will be priced somewhere around 800 pounds, which roughly translates to Rs 90,000. Samsung recently sent out invitations for a July 9 event in Brooklyn, New York, where the South Korean maker is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The company's upcoming book-style foldable, Galaxy Z Fold 7, is said to offer an 'Ultra' experience. Rumour also has it that the phone will have a larger 8.2-inch inner display, which, if true, will make it Samsung's largest foldable smartphone ever. On the hardware front, we expect to see the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, but recent rumours have hinted that Samsung might go with its newly launched Exynos 2500. On the back, it is expected to feature a 200MP primary camera, with the telephoto shooter and ultrawide sensor expected to stay the same as last year. Coming to the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung might choose to go with a near bezel-less cover screen like the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra and pack in a 6.8-inch screen. Rumour also has it that the upcoming device will have a 50MP primary camera in addition to a 50MP ultrawide lens, come with One UI 8 based on Android 16 and have a 4,000mAh battery. Oppo is bringing its Reno 14 series to India on July 3. The upcoming smartphone(s) will be available on Amazon and Flipkart. Unlike its Chinese counterpart, the Indian version of the Reno 14 and the Reno 14 Pro will most likely be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8450 chipset and come with huge Silicon Carbon batteries. The Reno 14 Pro is said to sport a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen, whereas the Pro variant might be getting a larger 6.83-inch display. The Reno 14 is rumoured to sport a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP telephoto shooter, while the Reno 14 Pro will have a triple 50MP camera setup. If this is the same as the Chinese version, we might see a 6,000mAh battery on the Reno 14 and a slightly larger 6,200mAh battery on the Reno 14 Pro. Recently, Vivo unveiled its latest compact flagship smartphone – the X200 FE, in Taiwan. Following in OnePlus' footsteps, the company has now announced that its newest compact phone will soon be launched in India. While Vivo did not reveal the exact launch date, it is said to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset and offer IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance. The upcoming compact flagship will most likely be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset and get a huge 6,500mAh battery that supports 90W wired charging. On the back, we will see a Zeiss-tuned triple camera setup with a 50MP primary shooter, a 50MP telephoto lens and an 8MP ultrawide sensor. However, the biggest change might be in the software department, as Vivo might finally do away with FunTouch OS in favour of the feature-packed, aesthetically pleasing OriginOS.

Before Nothing Phone 3 launch, Nothing gives its Google Photos alternative gallery app an AI makeover
Nothing Phone 3 is coming on July 1 and just before its high-profile global unveiling, Nothing has announced a major update for its in-house gallery app, jacking up its features to make it more relevant and useful for its growing fan-base. Though it will be available across all Nothing devices, the Phone 3 will possibly be the first to launch with the updated Nothing gallery Nothing gallery app is a custom alternative to Google Photos that is available by default on all Android phones. It was first introduced late last year with the Nothing OS 3.0 update. Nothing usually does these things keeping its community in the loop and an in-house gallery app was a highly requested feature. Though, in the beginning, it was all bare bones with basic functionality leaving room for much, much more with future updates the first of which is now available for prime-time and CEO Carl Pei took to X, the platform previously known as Twitter, to green light the update while revealing full details of what's in store for Nothing phone users. Right out of the gate, it is getting some high-level photo and video editing capabilities. Pei said, users can now 'fine-tune key image parametres' including contrast, white balance, tone curve, and more at full resolution with 'close to zero compression or quality loss.' He added that all processing will run locally on device with 'no cloud uploads, no forced accounts, no subscriptions,' highlighting privacy as a critical feature of the new app is also promising up to 25 percent faster performance while processing images. The time to switch from camera to gallery is also reduced by 20 percent, according to Pei, who added that this was the result of tight integration between its phone hardware and camera pipeline. Your interactions with the app will also be now backed by subtle haptic feedback for more precise and intuitive tuning and the gallery app is also getting smarter with AI being able to categorise photos for a more unified visual experience. 'From typography to icons to motion, every element feels native to Nothing,' Pei Nothing gallery update is now available for Nothing phone users and the updated app is also available for download on the Google Play Store with Pei teasing, 'more exciting features are in the works.'- Ends advertisement

Nothing just made a move that fans have been waiting on
Phone (2). | Image credit – PhoneArena As the countdown to the Phone (3) begins, Nothing isn't just hyping up the new hardware – it's also making serious moves on the software side. Remember when Nothing dropped its own Gallery app alongside Nothing OS 3.0 last year? Well, now it's finally getting the editing tools it should've had from the start. Carl Pei shared the news in a series of posts and this update really does bring some important new tools that make the app feel a lot more the core of the update is a full editor that lets you handle both photo and video tweaks right inside the app. No need for third-party tools anymore. Here's what you're getting: Basic editing tools: Six crop and rotation options to get your framing right. Six crop and rotation options to get your framing right. Color tuning: 12 adjustment sliders to fine-tune how your photos look. 12 adjustment sliders to fine-tune how your photos look. Filters: 10 filters designed by Nothing, with adjustable intensity (0–100). 10 filters designed by Nothing, with adjustable intensity (0–100). Video controls: Trim clips, adjust volume, and tweak slow-mo playback speed. Fans finally get the long promised filters. | Image credit – Nothing The app is designed to take advantage of Nothing's own hardware and camera pipeline, so everything should feel snappy and smooth. The company even claims that moving from the camera to the Gallery app is now 20% faster, with image processing speeds improved by 25%. Moving from camera to the app should be faster. | Image credit – Nothing But it's not just about speed. The app now brings a more unified and polished feel across Nothing's UI, from motion effects to typography. Even features like Image Cutout are now powered by the Dot Engine, which brings a unique feel when you long-press on a subject in your photo. There's also AI-based photo categorization. The looks is more unified. | Image credit – Nothing Nothing's promising pro-level control over image quality, too. You can fine-tune things like white balance, contrast and tone curve at full resolution, with almost no quality loss or compression. There's even haptic feedback baked into every tool, giving you a more precise, tactile editing and a bonus for HDR fans: Nothing's Ultra XDR support now keeps HDR data intact using gain maps embedded in JPEGs – something most third-party apps can't manage. In theory, what you see should match exactly what your camera captured... though, of course, we'll have to test that ourselves to be sure. The contrast is not right? You can finally fine-tune it. | Image credit – Nothing Finally, editing is done entirely on-device, which is a big deal for those who care about privacy and quality. This app doesn't push you to the cloud. No forced logins, no syncing across devices, no subscriptions. Your photos stay on your phone – end of story. That is what Nothing says, at least. And that alone makes it stand out. Google Photos, for example, is powerful and convenient and its on-device/cloud hybrid editing is impressive. But once you edit something, it usually ends up synced to your Google account. That can be fine for most people and Google does have some of the strongest security in the business – but if you're the type who wants total control and local-only editing, Nothing's approach might feel way more appealing. It's great to finally see Nothing give its software the type of attention it's been promising for a while. After all, it's something fans have been asking for since the start and was missing from every update so far. Carl Pei says even more features are coming soon and if Nothing wants to be taken seriously in the premium phone space, this kind of polish is a must. Especially with the Phone (3) expected to come in hot around the $800 mark. That's serious iPhone and Galaxy phone money and if Nothing's asking for flagship cash, the experience – software included – needs to match. The Phone (3) launches next week, so keep an eye out.

Nothing Phone 3 Battery And Charging Details Leaked: What You Can Expect
Last Updated: Nothing Phone 3 launch is getting closer and the leaks are making it easy to see what the new flagship device will offer. Nothing Phone 3 details are getting clear as day with every leak and with the official launch next week, we have more specs revealed through various sources. Earlier this week, we talked about the rumoured Phone 3 specs which includes the display size, camera setup and the battery size. But now we have more certifications that share accurate details about the new Nothing flagship phone. The FCC filing has been mentioned in this report, which has details about the Nothing Phone 3 specs like battery, its charging speed and even the model number which the company has revealed itself. The Phone 3 is said to pack a 5,150mAh battery which is just marginally bigger than what you get with the Phone 3a series and even just 300mAh bigger than the Phone 2 model from the company. Going by these numbers, it feels like Nothing is unlikely to adopt the silicon carbide tech for its battery, something that would have made it possible to fit a 6,000mAh unit like the OnePlus 13, in a sleek body. The display is being tipped to be flat like most of the phones launched in 2025. The leak via Gadget Bits earlier claims the new model will get a 6.7-inch OLED LTPO display with 1.5K resolution. He also says the Phone 3 will offer a triple camera system that includes a trio of 50MP wide, 3x periscope telephoto and an ultra-wide lens. The previous battery details from the tipster suggested Nothing could support 100W charging speed but that seems unlikely with the latest updates. Nothing CEO Carl Pei has hinted at a starting price of EUR 800 for the Phone 3 but that does not mean we will see the device launch at the said range. In fact, using the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset means the company will have to realign their strategy, especially in markets like India, where you have the Poco F7 and the iQOO Neo 10 available for under Rs 35K with the same hardware.
