Nothing Phone (3): 5 Big Changes to Expect from the Upcoming Flagship

Nothing Phone (3): 5 Game-Changing Upgrades Rumored for the July Launch

Nothing is gearing up to launch its first true flagship – the Nothing Phone (3) – on July 1, and expectations are sky-high. After two well-received mid-range phones, Carl Pei’s tech startup seems ready to enter the premium market. Here’s a breakdown of what we might see in this exciting new release.

1. Flagship-Level Performance with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 or 8 Elite

According to trusted sources like SmartPrix, the Phone (3) may be powered by either the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 or even the more advanced Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Both are strong contenders in the flagship space, offering top-tier performance for gaming, multitasking, and AI features.

2. Larger Battery – Possibly 5,000mAh+

Leaks suggest that the Nothing Phone (3) could feature a battery larger than 5,000mAh, an upgrade from the 4,700mAh unit in the Phone (2). With fast charging (likely 45W wired and 15W wireless), users can expect longer battery life and faster recharging.

3. Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.0 and AI-Powered Features

The new device is expected to ship with Android 15 and Nothing OS 3.0 pre-installed. One of the standout features could be the new Essential Space – a smart hub for storing notes, screenshots, and files, possibly accessible via a dedicated key, as teased with the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro.

4. More RAM as Standard – 12GB or More

The Nothing Phone (3) is likely to include 12GB of RAM as the baseline configuration. A higher-end variant might offer 16GB RAM with 512GB storage, which aligns with the increasing demand for more memory due to AI and multitasking needs.

5. Glyph Interface May Be Replaced with LED Matrix

A teaser released by Nothing hints at a change in the design language. The famous Glyph interface might be replaced by a LED matrix-style animation system, offering more functional notifications and interactions on the back panel.

The Nothing Phone (3) seems poised to be more than just a visual marvel – it’s shaping up to be a flagship that can compete with the best in the industry. With performance, software, and user experience taking the front seat, Nothing could truly deliver a flagship killer in 2025.
