Nothing is gearing up to unveil its highly anticipated Phone (3), which the company is positioning as its first “true flagship” smartphone, at a major launch event in London, United Kingdom on Tuesday, July 1.
Alongside the Nothing Phone (3), the British tech startup is also expected to introduce its first over-ear headphones called Headphone (1). There have been several leaks and rumours swirling about the design of the Nothing Phone (3) as well as the Headphone (1) in the run-up to the event.
While customers do not have to wait long to see if these leaks and rumours are true, here’s what we know so far about the Nothing Phone (3) and Headphone (1).
Nothing Phone (3)
In a video on the Android Show channel on YouTube, Nothing CEO Carl Pei announced that the Phone (3) will be priced around 800 pounds, which currently translates to $1,063 or Rs 90,500, taking into consideration the current exchange rate. This is almost double the price of the Phone (2), Nothing’s most expensive smartphone to date.
Pei also said that the phone would be designed out of “premium materials” and will come up with major performance as well as software upgrades that will “level things up”. The company has also confirmed that the incoming flagship will be powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. It will also boast a 50-megapixel primary camera that has been “built for creators”.

A few days ago, the company’s official handle on X posted a series of images that appear to have been captured using the Phone (3) with impressive zoom capabilities. The Phone (3) will also boast a Glyph matrix on the top-right corner of the smartphone.

Coming to the design, a leaked image revealed that the Phone (3) has a translucent back and three center-aligned cameras. However, a newer image posted by Android Headlines shows an entirely different design with a separation between the three cameras.

The renderings show two cameras lined up next to each other and another that’s in the corner of the phone and not really aligned with anything else. While the design renderings have not been confirmed by Nothing, it would be a bold camera layout if the leaks turn out to be true.

Nothing has also announced that the Phone (3) will receive software support for a minimum of seven years, with five years of full Android OS updates and another two years of security patches only. With Android 16 having been released earlier this month, the Nothing Phone (3) is likely to run on the latest version of Android out of the box.
In terms of India pricing, the Phone (3) is expected to come with a price tag of Rs 50,000 to Rs 60,000 given the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset under the hood and premium flagship experience. It has also been rumoured that the Phone (3) will have a dedicated button that offers quick access to AI features, similar to the Nothing Phone (3a) series. But this will probably be confirmed only at the launch on July 1.
Nothing Headphone (1)
Last month, Nothing posted a video in which it announced that it would be launching over-ear headphones for the first time in summer 2025.

There has not been much else teased about the Nothing Headphone (1), except that Tom Ridley, one of the company’s designers, said that they are looking to make “a more interesting looking pair of headphones that say something about you.” Adam Bates, Nothing’s global design director, also suggested that its buttons will feature distinct designs for each control function.
Based on leaked photos and videos, the Headphone (1) sports a squircle earcup with Nothing’s signature transparent elements and support for what appears to be a 3.5mm audio cable.

In another set of unverified, leaked images shared on Instagram, the earcups for the Headphone (1) seem to resemble quirky cassette tapes. It show the headphones in black or silver colourways, with “Nothing Headphone 1” and “Sound by KEF” branding printed on either earcup.
