The official unveiling of Nothing’s third flagship device is under a week away at this point. The London, England-based phone-maker is set to unveil the Nothing Phone 3 on Tuesday, July 1, with the company’s first headphones in tow.
The device, which Nothing describes as a “true flagship,” will officially be available in the US via Amazon. From what we already know, the device will run on Qualcomm’s April 2025-announced Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, paired with a new dot matrix display on the rear.
Apart from those details, though, not much has officially been revealed by Nothing. However, what this new leak reveals is as good as official confirmation.
The Nothing Phone 3 passed through the FCC on June 23rd, as spotted by The Tech Outlook, shedding light on several previously-unknown specs. The device is internally codenamed ‘Metroid,’ and carries the model number A024 — the same model number mentioned in the FCC listing that classifies the device as a “Smart Phone.”
The device will ship with Android 15-based Nothing OS3.3 preinstalled, with the phone-maker’s Android 16-based update to come at a later date.
Expect a price hike for the new flagship
The usual connectivity bands are all supported, paired with Wi-Fi 6E with triple band support and NFC. More importantly, though, the listing mentions that the device will boast a 5,150mAh battery, making it the biggest cel in a Nothing phone ever. For reference, the Nothing Phone 1 has 4,500mAh. The Nothing Phone 2 took it up to 4,700 mAh, followed by the Nothing Phone 2a’s impressive 5,000mAh cell.
We were pleased with the Nothing Phone 2a’s battery performance, and we’d expect nothing less from the upcoming flagship. Elsewhere, users can expect up to 65W of wired charging speed, which is much faster than the Nothing Phone 2’s 45W cap.
The listing also highlights the device’s eLabels, which give us a good idea of some of the countries Nothing aims to sell the Phone 3 in. These include: The European Union, France, the United States, Canada, Australia/New Zealand, Taiwan, and Japan.
From what we already know, the device will likely $800 — $200 up from the Phone 2’s $600 price tag. This might make it difficult for the device to carve out a niche in a competitive flagship market, especially considering that the base S25 is available to pick up for $800.
