Nothing has just launched two new hearables, namely Nothing Ear and Ear (a) in markets like the US, Europe, and India. The brand’s next major announcement is likely to be the Nothing Phone (3). The name suggests that it could be a flagship offering similar to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered Nothing Phone (2), which made its announcement in July 2023. Here is a look at what to expect from the Phone (3).

Nothing Phone (2)

1. Chipset

A recent report claimed that the Nothing Phone (3) will feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. It is a relatively new chipset and only a few phones featuring it, such as the Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, the Redmi Turbo 3, and the iQOO Z9 Turbo, have been launched in China.

The Redmi Turbo 3 is likely to be rebranded as the Poco F6 in India. There is a possibility that the Z9 Turbo may make it to the Indian market with a different branding. Hence, there is a possibility that the Nothing Phone (3) may rival these phones in India and some other markets. Unfortunately, the other specs of the Phone (3) haven’t surfaced yet.

2. Price

The Nothing Phone (3) is rumored to be priced between Rs 40,000 (~$480) and Rs 45,000 (~$540) in India. To recall, the Phone (2) was announced with a starting price of Rs 44,999 (~$540) last year.

3. Launch timeframe

The announcement of the Nothing Phone (2) in July 2023 raises the possibility that the Phone (3) will make its debut around the same time this year. Notably, this year has seen a trend in which phone successors from the previous year launched approximately a month earlier. Therefore, there is a possibility that the Phone (3) could arrive by the end of Q2 this year.

4. CMF by Nothing’s First Smartphone in Works

CMF, Nothing’s sub-brand that offers affordable devices with a focus on color, material, and finish, is said to be working on its first smartphone. The device is said to have an “A015” model number and “Tetris” codename. India seems to be one of the markets to receive the device as it was recently approved by India’s BIS certification platform.
