Nothing Phone 3 launch date set—first major flagship update since 2023

The Nothing Phone 3 launch date is finally locked in—July 1. This marks the first major update to Nothing’s flagship line since the Nothing Phone 2 way back in 2023. That’s a pretty long gap for the company, so the hype is definitely real.

Nothing broke the news on its official X page, though the announcement didn’t drop any new specs. Based on earlier leaks, the Nothing Phone 3 will land in both Black and White versions. Pricing should start at $799 for the 12/256GB model and $899 for the beefier 16/512GB SKU. That undercuts the OnePlus 13 by $50, which is a smart play.

But that’s not the only story here. There’s buzz that the Nothing Phone 3 could ditch its signature glyph interface, based on a cryptic teaser earlier this month. That’s a big shift—love them or hate them, the glyphs were Nothing’s signature move.

And if you’re in the US, here’s some good news: Nothing’s CEO Carl Pei has hinted that the Phone 3 could finally get a proper US launch, which didn’t happen with previous models. The big question now is what hardware Nothing will pack into its 2024 flagship, especially since $799 phones usually pack a Snapdragon powerhouse.

July’s almost here, so we’ll know soon enough if Nothing can deliver a real flagship hit.
