Nothing Phone 3 to launch next week: Check expected India price, camera, design, chipset and more

The Nothing Phone 3 is scheduled to launch next week, debuting alongside the brand’s first audio product, the Headphone 1. With the launch date approaching, Nothing has been steadily unveiling key details and features of its upcoming smartphone. Speculation and leaks have given us a glimpse of what the UK-based tech brand might unveil at the upcoming launch. So, if you’re considering buying the Nothing Phone 3, here’s a complete rundown of all the key details you should know before its official debut on July 1.

Meanwhile, the smartphone brand announced that it now has over 330 service centers nationwide, including five exclusive centers located in Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai — along with 20 dedicated priority service desks.

Nothing Phone 3 design:

According to fresh leaks from Android Headlines, new renders of the Nothing Phone 3 hint at two color variants — black and white. The smartphone is shown sporting a punch-hole display and features the distinctive Glyph-matrix lighting setup on the back panel. Its overall design seems to follow a style similar to the previously seen Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro.

The images reveal a rather unconventional rear camera layout. The top sensor is placed on the left, while the remaining two cameras sit side by side near the phone’s edge, creating an asymmetrical but bold arrangement. These leaked visuals are consistent with earlier teaser images released by Nothing, reinforcing the expected aesthetic of the upcoming device.

Nothing Phone 3 camera:

Nothing recently took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to unveil key details about the Phone 3’s camera setup, showcasing its new periscope lens design. According to the post, the device will come equipped with a 50MP periscope camera offering 3x optical zoom and an impressive 60x ultra zoom capability. It will also support a 10cm telemacro function, ideal for detailed close-up photography.

The company further emphasized a major design improvement—mentioning that the camera module on the Phone 3 is 74% thinner compared to the one found on the Phone 3a Pro, pointing to a sleeker, more refined build. In addition, Nothing described the camera as being “built for creators,” hinting at the inclusion of advanced photography tools or creator-focused features. In addition to the periscope lens, the Nothing Phone 3 is likely to boast a 50MP primary sensor along with a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens. On the front, the device is expected to sport a 50MP selfie camera, promising high-resolution images from all angles.

Nothing Phone 3 performance:

The Nothing Phone 3 has surfaced on Geekbench, shedding light on its performance powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. The benchmark results indicate that the device scored 2,076 in single-core and 6,577 in multi-core tests. The upcoming phone is likely to feature up to 16GB of RAM and operate on a custom OS built on Android 15, suggesting strong performance capabilities and next-gen software support.

Nothing Phone 3 India price:

The base variant of the Nothing Phone 3, expected to feature 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, is rumored to carry a price tag of £800 in the UK and $799 in the US. Based on these estimates, the smartphone could likely launch in India with a price range of Rs 70,000 to Rs 80,000.
