Plucky British tech startup Nothing confirmed the launch date on Tuesday for its major phone launch of the year. The Nothing Phone 3 will make an appearance on July 1, the company said in a press release.
Nothing's founder and CEO Carl Pei loves to drop hints about his company's upcoming product launches, and in this sense, it's business as usual with the Nothing Phone 3. Speaking last month during Google's Android Show event, Pei confirmed the Nothing Phone 3 would be the company's "first true flagship" and would cost around £1,000 (£800).
He also promised that the phone would feature "premium materials, major performance upgrades and software that levels things up." Nothing's take on AI -- a feature called Essential Space that we first saw on the Nothing Phone 3A Pro -- has been one of our favorite uses of AI from Android phone makers so far. We're keen to see how Nothing will up its game with this latest phone.
Competition remains strong as ever between Android phone makers, but Nothing has been one of the most exciting companies to break into the market in the past five years. Its design-led strategy is a breath of fresh air in the landscape of very similar looking devices.
The company, which released earbuds as its first product, also announced a partnership with British audio maker KEF last month. Together, they promised that they already had "several acoustically co-developed products already in the works and launching later this year."
It looks like 2025 might be the biggest year yet for Nothing, so put the July 1 date in your diary now to make sure you don't miss one what could be one of the more interesting phone launches of the summer.
