    Nothing Phone 3 Appears on GeekBench with Snapdragon 7s Gen 3

    Nothing has not missed the chance to unveil its top-tier smartphones this year, with the latest premium model, Phone (2), introduced in 2023. Now, details about its successor have emerged on a benchmarking platform, revealing the chipset that will power the forthcoming Nothing Phone (3). Let’s dive into the specifics.

    Nothing Phone (3): A Shift to Mid-Range?

    Recent leaks show the new device on the GeekBench platform (Via 91Mobiles), with the model number A059, which is believed to be the Nothing Phone (3). This model boasts the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC and comes with 8GB of RAM. The performance benchmarks indicate that it achieved 1,149 points in the single-core test and 2,813 points in the multi-core test. The listing also indicates it will come with Android 15 OS right out of the box, likely based on the NothingOS 3.0 custom interface.

    A Surprising Direction?

    It might seem peculiar, given that the Nothing Phone (2) was a high-end device featuring Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Therefore, the transition back to a mid-range option with the Phone (3) might remind some of the Phone (1). However, this could just represent the entry-level model of the Phone (3) lineup. A few months ago, two unidentified Nothing Phones appeared in the IMEI database, labeled A059 and A059P, with the latter likely representing a more powerful Pro version.

    Launch Timeline and Features

    As per the current information, the launch of the Nothing Phone (3) could be postponed until 2025. There are also hints that it might come with an Action Button. The standard Nothing Phone (3) is expected to have a 6.5-inch display, while the Nothing Phone (3) Pro could feature a larger 6.7-inch screen. Initially, there were rumors of the third iteration being equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but it seems to be shifting towards a mid-range status again. Meanwhile, the Pro variant could be named the Nothing Phone (3)+ and may utilize the Dimensity 9400 SoC.

  • Nothing Phone (3) Launch Delayed to 2025

    Nothing Phone (3) Launch Delayed to 2025

    Nothing unveiled the Nothing Phone (2) in July 2023, sparking speculation about the Phone (3) launching in the same month this year. In a video message, Nothing founder and CEO Carl Pei talked about the company's plans to integrate AI features into its devices, hinting at the Phone (3)’s arrival.

    Carl Pei reveals AI integration on Nothing Phone (3)

    Carl Pei expressed his views on the current state of artificial intelligence and its integration with consumer technology. He acknowledged the significant attention AI has received, noting that while some developments are impressive, others can be confusing.

    Pei emphasized that smartphones will continue to be the primary platform for consumer AI, citing the vast user base of over 4 billion and the annual shipment of more than 1 billion smartphones as proof of their ongoing relevance. He pointed out the need for a major overhaul in the way we use smartphones, as the current user experience has remained largely unchanged for over a decade.

    He envisioned a future where smartphones offer a highly personalized, dynamic, and cross-device interface that fosters a more human connection with technology, making interactions feel more natural and intuitive.

    Pei mentioned that for the past two months, the Nothing team has been working on designing and prototyping AI interactions. He shared some initial concepts to illustrate their vision, with plans to introduce these innovations gradually, starting with the Phone (3) next year. This suggests that the Phone (3) may not launch this year.

    Since its inception, Nothing has focused on building comprehensive capabilities and has successfully established itself as a notable player in the smartphone industry, being the only company to do so in the past decade. Pei highlighted the company's commitment to a creative culture that prioritizes exceptional user experiences and thoughtful integration of software and hardware. With stability and solid growth plans in place, Nothing is ready to advance further and make significant contributions to the consumer AI landscape.

  • First Look: Nothing Phone (3) with Action Button Revealed

    First Look: Nothing Phone (3) with Action Button Revealed

    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.

    Poco F6 Rival: Expectations from Nothing Phone (3)

    Nothing has recently introduced two new hearables, named Nothing Ear and Ear (a), in markets like the US, Europe, and India. The brand’s upcoming significant reveal is anticipated to be the Nothing Phone (3), hinting at a potential flagship offering akin to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered Nothing Phone (2), unveiled in July 2023. Let’s delve into what can be anticipated from the Phone (3).

    Nothing Phone (2)

    A recent report indicates that the Nothing Phone (3) is expected to incorporate the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, a relatively new addition with only a handful of phones embracing it, including the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, the Redmi Turbo 3, and the iQOO Z9 Turbo, released in China.

    The Redmi Turbo 3 might undergo rebranding as the Poco F6 in the Indian market. Likewise, there’s a chance that the Z9 Turbo could enter the Indian market with an altered branding. This situation hints that the Nothing Phone (3) might pose as competition to these phones in India and other regions. However, detailed specifications of the Phone (3) are yet to emerge.

    Pricing and Launch Details

    Rumors suggest that the Nothing Phone (3) could be priced between Rs 40,000 ($480) and Rs 45,000 ($540) in India. Notably, the Phone (2) was initially priced at Rs 44,999 (~$540) upon its launch last year.

    Following the unveiling of the Nothing Phone (2) in July 2023, it is plausible that the Phone (3) might be introduced around a similar timeframe this year. This year has observed a trend where the successors of phones from the previous year are launched roughly a month earlier. Thus, it is feasible that the Phone (3) could make its entry by the end of Q2 this year.

    CMF by Nothing’s First Smartphone in Development

    CMF, a sub-brand of Nothing focusing on affordable devices with an emphasis on color, material, and finish, is reportedly developing its inaugural smartphone. The device is assigned the model number "A015" with a codename "Tetris." India is likely to be among the markets to receive this device, as it recently obtained approval from India’s BIS certification platform.
