By Taaza Wire Desk
The hype surrounding the Nothing Phone 3 keeps mounting, and fresh leaks are now giving us glimpses of major improvements that may turn this phone into the company’s most powerful so far. Leaked information suggests massive enhancements in the camera and battery sections, which may position it among other flagship phones in 2025.
Only days since CEO Carl Pei hinted at the Phone 3’s launch in The Android Show epilogue, there are already leaks painting a more detailed picture of what the device can expect to deliver. If true, Nothing Phone 3 is set to become the brand’s very first flagship.

Nothing Phone 3 Camera: Triple Sensors & Periscope Zoom?
According to a report from SmartPrix, the Nothing Phone 3 camera system will be a significant leap over the Phone 2. The upcoming device is expected to house a triple-lens camera setup, including a periscope-style telephoto lens for enhanced zoom capabilities. This marks a step up from the dual-camera system on the Nothing Phone 2, which featured:
- 50MP Sony IMX890 primary sensor
- 50MP Samsung JN1 ultra-wide lens
If the leak proves accurate, the new sensor array could position the Phone 3 as a serious photography contender in the premium smartphone space.
Nothing Phone 3 Battery Life: Slightly Bigger, Much Smarter
The Nothing Phone 3 battery is rumored to be just above 5,000mAh, with a slight upgrade from the 4,700mAh battery of the Phone 2. That may not be a huge boost, but better AI-driven optimizations and Android 15 could do a lot with this extra bit of capacity in day-to-day use.
In comparison:
- Phone 2: 4,700mAh
- Phone 3a Pro / CMF Phone 2: Up to 5,000mAh
- Phone 3 (leaked): >5,000mAh
This improvement aligns with the company’s focus on delivering day-long reliability without compromising on performance.
Nothing Phone 3 Price: A Premium Leap
Perhaps the most striking detail revealed so far is the expected price tag. Carl Pei recently disclosed that the Nothing Phone 3 will cost around EUR 800, translating to:
- ~Rs 90,000 in India
- ~$1,063 in the US
That’s nearly twice the launch price of Phone 2 at Rs 44,999, a considerable move towards premium flagship segment. This aggressive step indicates Nothing is looking to directly compete with Apple, Samsung, and Google in the high-end smartphone market.
Nothing Phone 3 Release Timeline and Software
Although no official release date has been announced, the inclusion of model number A024 in the GSM database means that the product is close to production readiness. The Phone 3 will be released with Android 15 pre-installed, even though Android 16 might already be out by the time it is released.
The move suggests a focus on stability and polish, which is what Nothing’s clean and minimalistic design philosophy would support.
Nothing Phone 3 vs Phone 2: What’s Better?
| Feature | Nothing Phone 2 | Nothing Phone 3 (Leaked) |
|---|---|---|
| Main Camera | Dual (50MP + 50MP) | Triple setup, with periscope lens |
| Battery | 4,700mAh | >5,000mAh |
| OS at Launch | Android 13 | Android 15 |
| Starting Price (INR) | ₹44,999 | ₹90,000 (approx.) |
| Positioning | Upper Mid-Range | Premium Flagship |
Final Thoughts
The Nothing Phone 3 is emerging as a daring, feature-packed flagship that diverges from its budget-friendly heritage. With the triple-camera setup, higher-capacity battery, and high-end pricing, the company is obviously going all-in on its third-gen smartphone.
While the leaks are encouraging, it is wisest to hold out until the official unveiling to make judgments. That being said, all indications are that Nothing is all-in with the Phone 3, focusing on breaking into the high-end smartphone space as it broke into the mid-range segment a few years back.
