    Nothing just posted a teaser of what might be the Nothing Phone (3)

    By Timothy Teoh January 30, 2025

    Has Nothing just announced…an announcement? That’s the consensus online anyway after Nothing posted a rather cryptic short video on their socials. In the caption, it simply says “Power in Perspective. 4 March 10:00 GMT.”

    Though the brand did not confirm what it was alluding to, it’s a good guess to say it’s the Nothing Phone (3).

    The video shows what appears to be the Glyph Interface encircling an oblong and circular module. What it actually is remains speculative. Some netizens – and even GSMArena – have guessed that it’s an updated camera module with a triple-lens array, while others remarked that it looked more like side buttons.

    Unless Nothing officially confirms it, we will have to wait until the official unveiling on March 4th.

    For context, it’s been approximately 18 months since the Nothing Phone (2) was released. The single-numbered Phone models are the top-rung smartphone offerings of the brand, while the number-and-letter combination models are the mid-rangers. In 2024, Nothing launched only two mid-tier phones, namely the Phone (2a) and Phone (2a) Plus.
