Nothing Phone 3 to launch in July: Expected design, features and more

Nothing is preparing to launch its next smartphone – Nothing Phone 3 next month. According to industry sources and company teasers, the phone is expected to bring design refinements and upgraded performance. While an exact launch date is yet to be confirmed, leaks and renders suggest Nothing Phone 3 will stick to the transparent rear design. However, subtle changes in the layout of internal components and LED glyph interface may offer a more polished look.

Nothing Phone 3 expected features
In terms of performance, Nothing Phone 3 is expected to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8-series chip. The smartphone is teased to offer a significant upgrade from the Phone 2’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. Users can also expect improved camera hardware and AI-based software features, aimed at enhancing mobile photography and video.

Nothing is also rumored to remove its Glyph Interface — the rear LED notification system. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Nothing shared a short video clip with the caption, “We killed the Glyph Interface.” The cryptic message has sparked speculation that the company may be overhauling or replacing the signature Glyph Interface—a key design feature of its previous smartphones—as part of its upcoming Nothing Phone 3 launch.

The phone will likely run on Nothing OS 3.0 , based on Android 15, featuring a cleaner interface and better battery optimization. The handset is expected to have a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. Nothing Phone 3 could house a 5,000mAh battery.

Nothing Phone 3 expected price
Last month, during The Android Show: I/O Edition, Nothing co-founder Carl Pei hinted that the upcoming Nothing Phone 3 could be priced around GBP 800 (approximately Rs 90,000). This would mark a significant price jump compared to the Nothing Phone 2, which launched at Rs 44,999 for the base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.
