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

Ahead of Phone 3 launch, Nothing reveals details of its India service centre network
With Phone 3 and Headphone 1 launch on the horizon, Nothing plans to increase its service network footprint in India by 10 percent by the end of this year, its co-founder and country head, Akis Evangelidis, has announced. Akis revealed that the company currently has a network of over 330 service centres out of which five are a Nothing-exclusive. Moreover, the brand seems to be covering more ground each day in terms of customer satisfaction, delivering a fix or solution to their problems and concerns, quickly and efficiently. advertisementThe Nothing co-founder dropped by one of their exclusive service centres in Bangalore ahead of Phone 3 launch and claimed the support staff there was able to resolve '98 per cent of issues in under 2 hours,' entailing a customer satisfaction score of more than 97 percent. Additionally, he applauded the team working at this centre, saying, "Huge shoutout to the team for the hard work and appreciate the warm welcome. Indian hospitality never fails." His visit highlights the brand's commitment to building a solid reputation not just for sleek hardware and transparent design but also for dependable, user-centric support. India, being one of Nothing's key markets, is central to this push. Currently, Nothing operates over 330 service centres across India, with five exclusive centres strategically located in major metro cities — Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai. In addition to these, the company runs 20 "priority desks" to offer faster service and reduced wait times for premium users and time-sensitive repairs. What's notable is that these aren't just token centres meant to tick a box. As per the stats shared, the Bengaluru facility is undoubtedly seeing significant footfall and handling cases with a rapid turnaround. But the brand isn't stopping there. With the launch of Phone 3, Nothing is gearing up to expand its service footprint even further. The goal is to increase customer care coverage by 10 per cent before the end of the year, which includes the addition of 10 new priority desks across India. 'We've been doubling down on customer care,' Akis said. "And while the numbers start to look good, we're not resting on our laurels. There's always room to improve and specific cases that can be handled better," he added. Nothing's approach seems to be resonating with the audience. The company has seen consistent growth in the Indian market, which is fast becoming its most important region globally. And with a user base that is increasingly vocal on social media, the emphasis on service quality could give the brand a clear competitive edge over legacy players that often outsource after-sales to third-party networks. As Phone 3 nears launch, all eyes will be on how Nothing translates this customer-first approach into the product itself, and whether it can keep pace with the rising expectations it has helped create. Phone 3 is set to launch globally, India included, on July 1.- EndsTune In

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.
