Upload: After Apple and Google, Nothing is the next big global brand to ramp up smartphone manufacturing in India. The company’s much-anticipated flagship, the Nothing Phone (3), is set to launch on July 1, and this time, it’s being manufactured at its Chennai factory. With several teasers already making rounds online, excitement is building fast — especially with news of a major design change.
Made in India: A Major Step Forward
The Nothing Phone (3) will be the first flagship from the company made entirely in Chennai, India, where over 500 people, 95% of whom are women, are currently employed. This facility already produces the Nothing Phone (2) and Phone 3a series, and the new model is part of the company’s mission to localize production and streamline delivery to Indian and global markets.
“India has been very important to us since the beginning. All our phones are made here, and the upcoming Phone (3) is the latest addition to that list,”
— Akis Evangelidis, Co-founder and India President, Nothing
Design: No Glyph Interface, But Surprises Await
Unlike previous models, the Phone (3) is reported to ditch the iconic ‘Glyph Interface’, which was one of the brand’s standout design features. However, Nothing is promising a new surprise in its design, which has already sparked intrigue among fans.
A partial glimpse of the back panel has been teased on social media, showing a minimalist, clean aesthetic — perhaps signaling a new visual identity for the brand.
Performance: Dimensity 9400 or Snapdragon 8 Series
The Nothing Phone (3), carrying the model number A024, is rumored to come with either:
-
MediaTek Dimensity 9400 series
-
Or the Snapdragon 8 Gen series
This suggests top-tier flagship performance — whether optimized for power efficiency or raw speed — will be a key selling point.
Expected Price of Nothing Phone (3)
CEO Carl Pei has hinted that the phone could carry a price tag of around £800, which converts to approximately ₹93,000 INR. This positions it squarely in the premium smartphone segment, competing with the likes of Samsung Galaxy S24, iPhone 15, and OnePlus 12.
Final Thoughts
With the Nothing Phone (3), the brand is not only embracing ‘Make in India’ but also signaling a bold new design direction. As the launch date of July 1 approaches, all eyes are on what Nothing has in store — especially now that it’s stepping fully into flagship territory.
