This is the same launch cycle that the company followed for Phone 1 and Phone 2 as well. This London-based startup is raising the expectations of users by calling this new phone as the “first real flagship”. This time the company has promised to use premium materials and major improvements in performance and software. According to many leaks and reports, Nothing Phone 3 will have many important updates, ranging from better processor to brighter display. Let’s know in detail what major changes can come in Phone 3 compared to Phone 2.
Big upgrade in processor
Nothing Phone 2 used Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which was a powerful chipset at the time. But for Phone 3, the company has indicated to improve the performance further. According to the leak, the Phone 3 can have either Snapdragon 8 Elite or Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, which will be much faster and efficient than the Phone 2. This means that this phone will give a smoother experience in gaming, multitasking and high-performance apps.
Changes in camera setup
The Phone 2 had a dual rear camera setup, which had a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. But the Phone 3 is likely to have three rear cameras. It will include a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, which will support 3x optical zoom. This will greatly improve the photography experience, especially in zooming and capturing details.
Promise of brighter display
Nothing Phone 2’s display peak brightness was 1600 nits, which is quite good. But leaks suggest that the Phone 3 could reach 3000 nits, which will improve contrast and visibility on the screen, especially in sunlight. The brighter display will allow users to see clearer and more vibrant images.
Bigger battery and faster charging
The Phone 3 is expected to get a bigger 5000mAh battery, which will be better than the 4700mAh battery of the Phone 2. It will also get 100W fast charging support, while the Phone 2 had 45W charging. Apart from this, the Phone 3 can also get support for 50W wireless charging, which will give more convenience to the users. All these features will help in running the phone for a long time and charging quickly.
Price and launch awaited
Nothing Phone 2 was launched in India at a starting price of Rs 44,999. This time the company’s CEO Carl Pei has said that the price of Phone 3 can be around £800 (about Rs 80,000), but in India it can be between Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000. This price fits it in the mid-range to premium segment, where customers expect better quality and performance.
Overall, Nothing Phone 3 will see a lot of improvements in terms of performance, camera, display, battery and design, which will make it a much better and powerful smartphone than Phone 2. Users should track it as soon as it launches in July 2025 as this phone can give tough competition in the market.
