Nothing Phone (3) Confirmed for US Launch: What to Expect

Great news for fans in the US! Carl Pei, the CEO of Nothing, has confirmed that the Nothing Phone (3) is "100%" coming to the United States. This announcement breaks with the company’s previous strategy of limiting availability of some models via beta programs.

While the Nothing Phone (2) did make its way to the US market in 2023, other models like the Phone (2a) and phones from the CMF sub-brand were only available through restricted beta programs, lacking full US cellular band support. This caused frustration among US buyers eager to experience Nothing’s innovative devices.

Responding to a fan on Twitter/X, Carl Pei unequivocally stated that the Nothing Phone (3) will arrive in the US. Although he didn't explicitly confirm it would be sold outside of a beta program, considering the context and previous US availability of the Phone (2), it's highly likely this time will be different. This could signal a broader strategy from Nothing to fully embrace the US market.

The anticipated launch window for the Nothing Phone (3) is Q3 2025, potentially as early as July. This timeline aligns with previous launches, such as the Nothing Phone (2) which debuted in July 2023.

Beyond availability, details about the Nothing Phone (3) remain scarce. However, a leaked internal email from Carl Pei suggests major AI upgrades and significant user interface improvements are in the works. This could position the Nothing Phone (3) as a major upgrade over its predecessors. Furthermore, there are hints about the possibility of AI integrations and improvements to Essential Space, potentially integrating more seamlessly with calendars and productivity apps.

Performance-wise, speculations point towards the use of a Snapdragon 8 Elite or Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip. Design-wise, expect Nothing's signature transparent rear panel and Glyph Interface to make a return, possibly with a new telephoto lens similar to the Phone (2a) models.

Pricing for the Nothing Phone (3) is still unknown. Given the expected upgrades and AI integration, the price point may differ from the Nothing Phone (2)'s launch price of ₹44,999 in India. We'll have to await the official launch to get concrete details on the phone's features and price.

This news confirms that Nothing is committed to the US market. As we approach Q3 2025, more details will undoubtedly surface about the Nothing Phone (3).
