Nothing Phone (3) Series: An In-Depth Look at Three New Models Launching in Early 2025

Recent reports indicate that Nothing is developing three new smartphones slated for release in the first half of 2025. These models are the Nothing Phone (3), Nothing Phone (3) Pro, and a Plus variant. This article delves into the known information regarding their specifications, pricing, and comparisons to their predecessors.

According to leaks, the Nothing Phone (3), codenamed "Arcanine" (after the Pokmon) and model number A059, will feature a 6.5-inch display and be priced at $599 (approximately 4270). It has appeared on GeekBench, showcasing a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with 8GB of RAM, achieving a single-core score of 1149 and a multi-core score of 2813, suggesting powerful performance.

The Nothing Phone (3) Pro, codenamed "Hisuian Arcanine" (referencing the Pokmon's variant) and model number A059P, is expected to boast a larger 6.7-inch display and a periscope telephoto lens for enhanced photography capabilities. It's projected to be powered by either the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 or Dimensity 9300+ chipsets. Both represent the pinnacle of current mobile processing technology.

The Dimensity 9300+ utilizes TSMC's 4nm process, featuring a 1x3.25GHz Cortex-X4 + 3x2.85GHz Cortex-A715 + 4x2.0GHz Cortex-A510 CPU architecture and a 12-core Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU clocked at 1300MHz. The Dimensity 9400, built on the more advanced TSMC 3nm process, employs a full-large-core design, boasting approximately a 40% CPU performance improvement and a nearly 41% GPU performance boost compared to the Dimensity 9300, while achieving up to 44% lower power consumption. Both chipsets efficiently handle demanding tasks, run large applications and games, and enhance overall phone performance, battery life, and real-time AI functionality. The Nothing Phone (3) Pro is expected to retail at $699 (approximately 4982).

Currently, information regarding the Nothing Phone (3) series is limited, but we can extrapolate features by referencing the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus, released in July. The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus features a right-angled frame, a dual-camera setup, black and white color options, a signature transparent back cover, and customizable LED light strips. It's powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro processor, offers up to 12GB+256GB memory (8GB+256GB standard), a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display supporting a 120Hz refresh rate and 1300 nits peak brightness, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

In terms of imaging, the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus boasts a 50MP wide-angle main camera (Samsung GN9 sensor) and a 50MP ultrawide camera (Samsung JN1 sensor), with OIS, EIS, and 10x digital zoom. It features a 50MP front camera, a 5000mAh battery with 50W fast charging and 5W reverse wired charging, IP54 dust and water resistance, dual stereo speakers, NFC, Google Pay support, Nothing OS 2.6 based on Android 14, and promises 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches. The 8GB+256GB variant was priced at 27999 (approximately 2424), while the 12GB+256GB version retailed at 29999 (approximately 2597).

Comparing the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus, we can anticipate significant improvements in the Nothing Phone (3) series' imaging and performance, albeit potentially at a higher price point. However, with the official launch still some time away, specifications and pricing remain subject to change. The Nothing Phone (3) series launch will undoubtedly garner industry attention, and its eventual performance is highly anticipated. We will continue to monitor updates and provide readers with the latest news. We eagerly await the official unveiling of the Nothing Phone (3) series and its potential to continue the Nothing brand's legacy of unique design and outstanding performance.
