Nothing Phone 3 launch did not happen this year and the company seems to be planning for something big in 2025
The Phone 3 is expected to come with AI features and some new upgrades
The highly anticipated Nothing Phone 3 might be just around the corner. A recent teaser from the debut video for Nothing Ear Open in September 2024, along with sightings in the IMEI database, suggest the Phone 3 launch might not be far away. Now, a popular benchmarking site has listed the upcoming device, revealing hints about its processor, RAM, and OS, sparking excitement for the next Nothing flagship phone.
Nothing Phone 3 Launch Rumours: All Details
A Nothing phone with the model number A059 was recently spotted on Geekbench, believed to be the Nothing Phone 3.
The device scored 1,149 points in the single-core test and 2,813 points in the multi-core test. It is reportedly equipped with an unidentified octa-core chipset, which is likely the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC. The listing also suggests the inclusion of an Adreno 810 GPU and support for 8GB of RAM, with the possibility of additional RAM options.
The phone is expected to run Nothing OS, which is based on Android 15. It would be very surprising to see Nothing launch the Phone 3 with this chipset, especially with its flagship nature in play.
Nothing Phone 3: What to expect
The release of two new Nothing smartphones, model numbers A059 and A059P, spotted on the IMEI database earlier this year, points to an imminent launch in India. The A059 model is likely to be the standard Nothing Phone 3, while the “P” in the A059P may signify a “Plus” variant. For comparison, the model numbers for the Nothing Phone 2 and its Plus variant are A142 and A142P, respectively.
Additionally, 91Mobiles reports that the base Phone 3 could feature a 6.5-inch display and be codenamed Arcanine. Previous reports have suggested the device may be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, while the current Nothing Phone 2 runs on the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
According to these reports, the Nothing Phone 3 Plus, codenamed Hisuian, will likely feature a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 CPU and a 6.7-inch display. It may also be marketed as the Nothing Phone 3 Pro. As for pricing, the base model of the Nothing Phone 3 is expected to cost around $599 (approximately Rs 50,500), while the Pro version may be priced at $699 (around Rs 58,900).
