Nothing Phone (3) camera, battery, and charging specs leaked

Key Takeaways

1. The Nothing Phone (3) features a new camera layout in a triangle shape, with an expected additional rear camera and a 50MP selfie camera.
2. It may include wide- and ultrawide-angle lenses, both potentially using a 50MP sensor, and a 3x periscope zoom lens.
3. The display size remains at 6.7 inches but could offer better detail with an enhanced 1.5K resolution.
4. Charging capabilities are set to improve with 100W USB-C charging, while maintaining wireless and reverse wireless charging.
5. The Phone (3) will launch with a 5,150mAh battery and run on Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, not Android 16.

Most of the design of the Nothing Phone (3) is still not fully clear in the latest leaked image, but it seems to imply that its back cameras will be positioned in a loose triangle shape near the top of the back panel, next to the new Glyph Matrix interface.

Design Changes and Camera Features

This new generation appears to take a significant step away from the iPhone 16-inspired Nothing Phone (2). It is rumored to include an additional rear camera, one of which may be the same 3x periscope zoom lens that was first introduced in the (3a) Pro, which is currently priced at $529 on Amazon.

Moreover, it is likely to feature wide- and ultrawide-angle lenses, both possibly utilizing a 50MP sensor. Interestingly, the Phone (3) could also be the first flagship from Nothing to come equipped with a 50MP selfie camera.

Display and Charging Capabilities

The display size is expected to remain consistent at 6.7 inches, but it may offer better detail and responsiveness thanks to an enhanced 1.5K resolution. Additionally, the Phone (3) is rumored to support faster charging through USB-C with a significant upgrade to 100W technology, while still keeping the wireless and reverse wireless charging capabilities found in the (2).

Despite these advancements, the (3) might not represent a dramatic upgrade overall. The high-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip from its predecessor appears to be replaced by the sub-flagship, yet more recent, 8s Gen 4 in this leak.

Battery and Software Expectations

Lastly, the Phone (3) is anticipated to deviate from some major smartphone trends of 2025 by launching with a rather underwhelming 5,150mAh battery and running Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, instead of Android 16.
