Nothing Phone 3 – Nothing is back and ready to make waves again with its upcoming flagship — the Nothing Phone 3. Set to hit Indian markets starting July 1, this new model is already making noise for all the right reasons. It’s been almost a year since the Phone 2 came out, and this time, the company’s got some fresh tricks up its sleeve. From a revamped design to improved performance and camera features, here’s everything you need to know.

Saying Goodbye to the Glyph Lights

If you’re familiar with Nothing’s earlier phones, you probably remember the Glyph Interface — those funky lights on the back that blinked for calls, messages, and charging. Well, the Phone 3 is saying goodbye to all that. Based on recent teasers on X (yeah, Twitter’s new name), the new design looks cleaner and a bit more grown-up. No flashing lights, just a neat dual-tone back panel with some sharp edges and cuts that give off a more premium, modern look. It’s a big style shift, and it seems like Nothing is aiming for a more refined image this time.

What’s Cooking Inside?

Though the company hasn’t spilled all the specs officially, the leaks suggest a powerful processor, most likely flagship-level. This means smoother gaming, faster app switching, and lag-free multitasking. You’re also getting 12GB RAM, which is pretty solid for anything you throw at the phone — whether it’s editing reels, playing high-end games, or running several apps in the background.

The battery is getting a decent boost too. Rumors hint at a 5000mAh+ unit, which means fewer mid-day charging breaks. And when you do need to charge, expect it to be quick — Nothing has always been generous with charging speeds, and that’s unlikely to change now.

Triple Cameras and a Periscope Surprise

Let’s talk about the cameras. The Nothing Phone 3 is expected to rock a triple-camera setup, and the highlight might just be the periscope telephoto lens. These kinds of lenses let you zoom in far without losing much image quality — perfect for travel photography, nature shots, or even those sneaky candid clicks from a distance.

While detailed specs aren’t confirmed yet, if Nothing sticks to its usual game, we can expect great image processing, fun camera modes, and better night shots. Selfie lovers won’t be disappointed either, as Nothing usually delivers sharp front-facing cameras.

This One’s Gonna Cost You More

Now for the not-so-fun part — the price. Carl Pei, the brain behind Nothing, has dropped hints that the Phone 3 might cost around £800. That roughly converts to ₹90,000 in India, which is a pretty big jump from the ₹44,999 launch price of Phone 2.

Clearly, this time they’re gunning for the premium flagship crowd, not just the tech-curious millennials. Whether Indian buyers will accept that price tag — only time will tell.

Available on Flipkart from July 1

As usual, Flipkart will be the go-to place to grab the new Nothing Phone 3 in India. With the launch set for July 1, you can probably expect pre-orders to start around the same time. If you’re interested, it’s best to keep tabs on Flipkart and Nothing’s official handles for launch offers or early access deals.

CMF Phone 2 Pro – The Budget Hero

Not everyone wants to spend ₹90,000 on a phone, and Nothing knows that. That’s why their CMF sub-brand is also in the spotlight with the CMF Phone 2 Pro. This phone offers a similar triple-camera setup, 5000mAh battery, and even IP54 splash resistance, all at a much more affordable price.

A cool feature here is the removable back panel, which lets users easily swap parts or clean the internals. In a world of sealed smartphones, that’s kind of refreshing. With 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is a solid choice for budget-conscious buyers.

Final Thoughts

With the Nothing Phone 3, the brand is clearly evolving. It’s moving from quirky LED patterns to sleek aesthetics and serious specs. Bigger battery, better cameras, and a premium finish all point to Nothing’s desire to be taken seriously in the flagship space.

Meanwhile, the CMF Phone 2 Pro keeps the brand accessible for everyone else, offering decent performance and design without the hefty price tag. Whether you’re ready to splurge or just want a solid phone that doesn’t burn a hole in your wallet — Nothing seems to have something for you.
