Nothing’s flagship number series phones launch in July. The Phone (1) and Phone (2) were announced in the same month of 2022 and 2023 respectively. The London-based company is expected to follow the same tradition with the Phone (3). It will be the brand’s next major product announcement. While information about the Nothing Phone (3) is yet to surface on the web, Carl Pei shared an image on X that gives away a key detail.
Nothing Phone (3) could get an action button
Pei shared an image of the redesigned quick settings and notification panel on the Nothing OS. It is expected to be included on the Nothing OS 3 later this year. Coming back to the main context, the redesign is shown on a mockup of the device. At first glance, things don’t appear any different and it looks just like the Phone (2) and Phone (1).
However, eagle-eyed folks can notice that the mockup device has a new additional button on the right frame just below the power key. It is small and leads many of us to believe that it could be an action button, an alert slider, or a dedicated camera shutter button. The action button is found on the iPhone 15 Pro models whereas the alert slider is prominent on OnePlus phones. Upon a closer look, one can also notice that the power and volume rocker keys are also positioned higher on the device.
The speculations about the new physical button hint that it could be present on the upcoming Nothing Phone (3). The device in the mockup is seen with a metal frame, a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout, and minimal screen bezels. The Phone (3) is rumored to be powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor. The image shared by Pei surely does build the hype for smartphones. We expect more leaks to surface in the coming weeks.
