Carl Pei reveals Phone 3's price range, Nothing's first true flagship coming soon

On the sidelines of Google's The Android Show, Nothing Inc. co-founder Carl Pei revealed that the upcoming Phone 2 successor will be a true flagship phone.

Pei also gave a hint that Phone 3 will be priced around £800. Based on the Foreign exchange rates at the time of writing this article, it will approximately cost around $1,066 or Rs 91,066. If the latter, like the current crop of Nothing phones are assembled in India, the cost is likely to be less, probably anywhere between Rs 65,000 and Rs 75,000 bracket.

Still, it will be quite expensive compared to the Phone 2 (review). It came with three variants with a price ranging between Rs 45,000 and Rs 55,000.

This is an indication that Nothing Inc., which is just three years old in the industry, is ready to take on the established players such as Apple, Samsung, Google and OnePlus in the premium segment.

In 2022, it started with mid-range prices starting at 31,999. Later launched lowered Phone (a) series and sub-brand CMF Phone series with prices ranging between Rs 15,000 and Rs 26,000.

In India, Nothing Inc. is the fastest-growing phone brand. Last year, as per Counterpoint Research report, the company recorded 577 per cent growth.

Last quarter (Q1, 2025), the London-based company clocked an amazing 156 per cent year-on-year growth in India.

Thanks to Nothing's CMF Phone and Phone (a) series, Nothing Inc. led the growth for five consecutive quarters, a feat no other mobile brand has achieved in the past decade in India, reported International Data Corporation.

Recently, Nothing launched two new handsets-- Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro. They too are incredible upgrades over the predecessor.

Now, with the Phone 3, Nothing will offer a new premium Android phone, alternative to Samsung's Galaxy S, OnePlus and Google Pixel phones.

Carl Pei confirmed that Nothing Phone 3 will come with high-quality materials, big performance upgrades and a better software experience.

"Nothing OS is our vision for how AI should work, not just bolted on but built in. A system that learns from you and works with you -- less of a menu, more like a teammate. We’re building the tech company we wish existed, one that creates with its community and brings joy and originality back to the category,” said Pei.

Nothing Phone 3 is expected to launch by the end of June or early July.
