Nothing Phone (3) Launch Window Confirmed: Coming as Early as July 2025

April 19, 2025 After months of speculation, Carl Pei, founder of tech startup Nothing, has officially confirmed that the highly anticipated Nothing Phone (3) will be launching in Q3 2025, giving fans a timeline to mark their calendars between July and October.

The announcement came during a brief AMA (Ask Me Anything) session hosted by Pei on Twitter/X earlier today. While previous leaks and internal memos hinted at Nothing’s AI-focused ambitions for the upcoming device, this is the first time a public release window has been directly acknowledged by the company.

A Flagship Follow-up Two Years in the Making

The Nothing Phone (2), launched in July 2023, earned widespread praise for its transparent design and clean software experience. With the Phone (3), Nothing is expected to elevate its hardware game further, while also introducing new AI-powered features, as previously teased by company memos.

The launch will place the Phone (3) in direct competition with several heavyweights, including Samsung’s next-gen foldables, Google’s Pixel 9 lineup, and Apple’s iPhone 16 series, all of which are expected to debut in a similar timeframe.

What to Expect from the Nothing Phone (3)

While official specs remain under wraps, industry insiders suggest that the Nothing Phone (3) could include:

• Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or 8s Gen 3 chipset

• Enhanced Glyph Interface with more customizable LED zones

• Refined AI integration, including on-device smart assistants

• Improved camera system and battery life

• Nothing OS 3.0 based on Android 15

The company has been vocal about pushing AI into its devices, positioning the Phone (3) as more than just a hardware refresh — instead, as part of a broader push into intelligent and minimal user experiences.

Launch Timeline and Market Impact

Given that the Phone (2) launched on July 11, 2023, analysts believe that Nothing may repeat a similar early Q3 strategy, likely in mid-July 2025. That would give the device a head start before Apple and Samsung reveal their major updates in August and September.

The competitive pricing and design-centric appeal of Nothing phones have helped the brand carve out a niche among Android enthusiasts and Gen-Z buyers. With Phone (3), the company could further solidify its position in the mid-to-premium smartphone segment.

With the countdown to Q3 now officially on, tech watchers can expect teaser campaigns, leaks, and official announcements to ramp up soon. Stay tuned for updates on pre-orders, specs, and pricing in the coming weeks.
