Nothing Phone 3 to launch in July: 7 big and small changes that are expected
Nothing Phone 3 is expected to arrive in July 2025 and the phone is expected to bring several major changes over the model it is going to replace – Phone 2. Nothing has also dropped several teasers about the upcoming phone, revealing key details. Here are 7 big and small changes that are expected.
No Glyph interface The biggest change that we could see is the removal of the Glyph interface that has become the signature of Nothing phones. While the phone is expected to retain the transparent design language, the tacky-looking LED lights are likely to disappear.
Gaming-inspired rear panel The back panel is expected to feature interactive elements — with teaser hints suggesting users might be able to play retro-style games like Pac-Man directly on the rear display. It’s unclear whether these will include lighting effects or stay minimalist.
More AI-powered features Nothing is pushing deeper into AI. The Phone 3 will likely expand on “Essential Space” — a feature seen on the Phone 2a — with smart tools like a redesigned Smart Drawer, voice transcription, and possibly more context-aware UI improvements.
Top-tier display upgrade Rumours suggest a larger 6.77-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 3000 nits — making it the brightest and smoothest Nothing display so far.
Major performance boost with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Performance is set to jump significantly with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset under the hood. Expect faster app loads, better gaming, and improved thermal management — backed by up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
Price bump expected Carl Pei hinted at a higher price — around £800 globally — though India pricing may land near ₹55,000. That’s a noticeable jump from the Phone 2, positioning the Phone 3 more squarely in the premium flagship bracket.
Bigger battery with faster charging The Nothing Phone 3 is expected to pack a 5000mAh battery — the largest yet in a Nothing device — with support for 50W fast charging. That means longer daily endurance and quicker top-ups, which should appeal to power users and gamers alike.
