Nothing’s flagship phones traditionally launch in July, with the Phone (1) and Phone (2) unveiled in the same month in 2022 and 2023. The London-based company is likely to continue this pattern with the Phone (3), marking its next significant product reveal. While details about the Nothing Phone (3) remain scarce, Carl Pei has shared an image on X hinting at a crucial feature.
Possible New Action Button on Nothing Phone (3)
Pei posted an image showcasing the redesigned quick settings and notification panel of the Nothing OS, anticipated to be part of Nothing OS 3 later this year. The redesign appears on a mockup of the device, which at first glance resembles the Phone (2) and Phone (1).
However, keen observers will notice a new button on the right frame, just beneath the power key. This small button suggests it could be an action button, an alert slider, or a dedicated camera shutter button. The action button feature is present on the iPhone 15 Pro models, while the alert slider is common on OnePlus phones. Additionally, the power and volume rocker keys are positioned higher on the device.
Speculations and Features
The speculation surrounding this new physical button indicates it might be included in the upcoming Nothing Phone (3). The mockup shows the device with a metal frame, a centrally placed punch-hole cutout, and minimal screen bezels. Rumors suggest the Phone (3) will be powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. Pei’s image builds anticipation for the new smartphone, and more leaks are expected in the coming weeks.
