Ahead of the Google I/O Event on May 20th, Google dropped a special edition of The Android Show to unveil some of the new features and experiences coming...

I’ve been using the Nothing Phone (2) for over a year now, and it hasn’t disappointed me except for the camera performance at night. If the cameras on the Nothing Phone [3] are good for night photography, I’ll definitely buy it. Otherwise, I’ll wait another year and go for the next flagship.

Phone(3)如果处理器不是骁龙8gen3或者骁龙8elite的话，想要在中国大卖，这价格至少得减半😮‍💨

Well the price in India will not be 90k cause no one even knows about Nothing only a handful of population knows about this tech company. I know abg it but my bro hates it says its chinese even though its not (ps : he is an apple fanboy but a lil less - didn’t get the applel watch cause its crap )

i say its good he says its not

I say price in india will not exceed 65k inr cause then it will be harshly compared to oneplus 13 and s25 and they will lose to already established flagships . It is flagshipbut its their first flagship.

The price should be equal to s7 i.e. 60k max

P.S. PLEASE REMOVE THE STRIKE IT WAS AN HONEST MISTAKE

RapidZapper At that price the Phone 3 will tank in India, and Nothing Phone 2 is a classic example. The price is just too high. Nothing should remember that it tastes success owing to the A series, a mid-range option. At that price people will deviate to the apples and Samsungs of the world. Imho Nothing must launch the 3 and 3 Pro, pricing them at 45k and 55k respectively. At that price the devices will take off. Let’s see what happens.

I think this is not the correct price. It is to create the hype of the product. We all are waiting for the phone 3 to launch.

I’m using phone 2 and the only reason it did not do well in India was because if the price. And Carl is smart to know what works in India. See the 3a and 3@ pro pricing. So jumping straight from 49999rs for phone 2 to 90000rs for phone 3 is not the risk Carl will take.

Because as soon as the price touches 70k, people will start considering samsung iphones and other 8 elite ones.

So I think even if it is a “true” flagship, a pricing between 60k to 70k will be more than enough.

Let’s see how it goes. Desperately waiting for it.

I don’t know when we will get to see the design and hardware. Hoping soon….

I pre-ordered the NP1 and NP2 as soon as they were announced, and got them day 1. However, the NP3 price makes me nervous.

As someone who got the 1+1 via invite and then stayed with OnePlus until the NP1 launched, this feels like a familiar trajectory. I’d rather they continued to aspire to be a “flagship killer” rather than an actual flagship to be honest but I guess if you can’t beat them, join them.

I’m still optimistic, but if that’s the price then they really better do something to earn it (and hopefully avoid the 3a camera bump).

Why CMF phone 1 is charging slow though it is showing “charging rapidly” ?

Djprogram

RapidZapper I’ll

RapidZapper I’ll wait for the spec, it’ll either be the 3a pro or the 3

AlexMrngstr69 You’re expecting too much right now. I can assure you, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision won’t be included, and neither will Netflix support for them.

You’ll likely get HDR10 and HDR10+, but instead of setting high expectations and being overly hopeful, it might be better to wait 6 to 9 months if you can. By then, you’ll see better options and prices dropping across all ultra-premium phones.

Right now, nothing beats this brand in terms of marketing hype and offering a clean, ad-free OS experience. But if you read reviews and blogs, you’ll see the OS still feels incomplete. It’s mostly stock Android with a custom skin and fonts, and many issues and community feature requests are being overlooked.

You might want to consider alternatives like Samsung, Sony, or other Android brands that offer more mature and complete experience.

AlexMrngstr69

thalapathy well I don’t have to read reviews my friend. I am an active user. I know the OS needs improvement. And ther are bugs here and there.

But I am not complaining.

The thing is if nothing wants to launch a flagship they might need to provide these features for selling the phones to a larger audience.

That’s what I am highlighting here.

RapidZapper US price will focus on being competitive to OnePlus, so $849 USD. That is what I would do if I were in sales.

Uday

very aspirational and cyberpunk. may be we’ll reach such a level after a decade or so, but really cool to even think 👀

RapidZapper No, it’s too pricy for a Nothing.

AlessioSpadini

Too expensive for me. I’ve nothing phone 1. And suppose that I will remain at same price…

If this phone supports micro sd card support like the cmf phone 2 pro

The I will be happy to say I will be one of your usa beta testers. Because I like the idea and what carl is doing.

+ I Work in a job that minimal phone contact besides my music it would be helpful to not look at my phone.

+ it Would also help to train me not to touch my phone so much

But micro sd card support is a must

I am big fans of nothing but I want to say to say something but upcoming Phone (3) This is a link to IQOO Neo 10 because look at the price of it and power of it under ₹35K ($420) if nothing release a budget variant of phone (3) then it should have features like this neo 10 you can add to cart a look compare with current Nothing phone it is still more powerful than every nothing phone ever released

My friend problem with comparing them to nothing is I bet they have a big Chinese market. That helps lunch a phone.

The other end of this is you got someone like me who knows a lot about phones and what is out in the wild but you have me saying what the hell is this brand.

Honestly it looks like one of those fake welcome phones from the listing page. I would never buy it on that idea alone.

But nothing as a phone and company is doing everything right @carl is a very smart man and would be happy to add nothing to the list of phones I have used over the years.

But they need micro sd card support.

On the matter of the phone you linked I would never touch it because I am getting strong fake phone vibs from it

’Xxxxxx-

After noticing it’s vivo maybe I would use it but the marketing for it is still very bad off the listing pictures you linked.

Kawar Yo Kawar, I get where you’re coming from—when a phone looks unfamiliar, it’s easy to doubt it. But this isn’t some knockoff. It’s backed by a solid brand, and the specs clearly show it’s built to perform. First impressions can be off, but the hardware speaks for itself.

Brand Isn’t Everything: iQOO might not have the “cool” branding like Nothing, but it’s backed by Vivo, a global leader in smartphone tech. It’s not some sketchy no-name—it’s a serious player with proven tech behind it.

Insane Performance: Neo 10 comes with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, 16GB RAM (plus virtual), UFS 4.0 storage, and scores over 2.4 million on AnTuTu. Nothing Phone (2) and even the expected Phone (3) or Phone (3) Lite just don’t match that raw power.

Battery & Charging Monster: A 7000mAh battery with 120W charging is almost unheard of in this range. It charges 1 to 50% in just 19 minutes, and still keeps a slim profile. No compromises.

Display & Camera Quality: You’re getting a 144Hz 1.5K AMOLED display with 5500 nits brightness and Vivo’s flagship camera tuning—50MP Sony OIS + 32MP front. That’s elite level stuff, not entry-tier.

Software Support: Neo 10 runs Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15, and promises 3 years of Android + 4 years of security updates, which is solid. But yeah, Nothing still has the edge in software experience—cleaner UI, No blotwares, closer to stock, and overall more refined.

Price vs Power: All of this under ₹35K is honestly impressive. For anyone who cares about raw performance, battery, and display quality, this kind of hardware at this price point is hard to beat.

I’ll say it again—I really appreciate what Nothing is building. The design language, software experience, and brand identity are all headed in the right direction. And with time, there’s no doubt the performance side will catch up as the company continues to grow and refine its products.

But right now, being a fan doesn’t mean overlooking where other devices are clearly ahead in raw specs and value. Credit where it’s due.

This isn’t about hype. It’s about what you get for your money—and right now, Neo 10 is setting the bar.
