Next-Gen Smartphone Slated for Q3 2025 With AI Features & Transparent Design
The highly anticipated Nothing Phone 3 is set to debut between July and September 2025, according to Carl Pei, founder and CEO of the UK-based tech brand Nothing. Pei shared the update during a short “Ask Me Anything” session on X (formerly Twitter), confirming the smartphone’s Q3 2025 launch window.
This timeline matches the previous release patterns of the company:

Originally expected in 2024, the Phone 3’s release was delayed as the company shifted its focus to developing personalized AI features. In the interim, Nothing introduced the mid-range Phone 2a and Phone 2a Plus models.
