If you’ve been wondering when the Nothing Phone (3) is finally going to make its debut, you’re not alone. After launching the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro earlier this year, many fans were expecting the main flagship to follow closely. Now, Carl Pei—Nothing’s founder and CEO—has confirmed the launch window for the much-anticipated device.
Launch
During a recent Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on X (formerly Twitter), Carl Pei revealed that the Nothing Phone (3) will be launching sometime in the third quarter of 2025. That means we can expect it to arrive between July and September.
This timing keeps Nothing’s tradition intact. The first Nothing Phone (1) launched in July 2022, followed by the Phone (2) in July 2023. Although the company skipped a new mainline model in 2024, this year’s schedule aligns with their previous release pattern.
Why the Delay?
While Nothing hasn’t officially explained the decision to skip a major flagship in 2024, the launch of the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro suggests a strategy focused on expanding its mid-range segment. These devices cater to users who want the Nothing experience at a more accessible price point. The flagship Phone (3) is expected to bring in higher-end hardware and fresh features, likely including design and performance improvements.
What to Expect
So far, there haven’t been any official specs or hardware leaks for the Phone (3). However, if the past is anything to go by, we can expect some key upgrades. The Phone (2) was powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, featured a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display, dual 50MP rear cameras, and a 4,700mAh battery with fast wired and wireless charging.
Here’s a quick look at what the previous model offered:
| Feature | Nothing Phone (2) |
|---|---|
| Processor | Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 |
| Display | 6.7-inch LTPO OLED, 120Hz |
| Rear Cameras | 50MP wide + 50MP ultrawide |
| Front Camera | 32MP |
| Battery | 4,700mAh, 47W wired, 15W wireless |
The Phone (3) will likely build on these specs, possibly including a newer Snapdragon chip, improved battery life, and smarter software features—potentially incorporating more AI capabilities, which Carl Pei has hinted at before.
Teaser Campaign Coming Soon
Although the Phone (3) hasn’t been officially shown off yet, Nothing has been known for its creative marketing. Based on the July launch timeframe, it’s likely that teaser images, short videos, or community updates will start surfacing in May or early June. Keep an eye out for those, especially if you’re active in Nothing’s online community.
The confirmation that the Phone (3) is on its way is great news for fans who’ve been waiting for a true flagship refresh. While details are still sparse, the consistent launch pattern and Nothing’s track record suggest we won’t have to wait too long before the company starts dropping hints.
