News NOTHING's first flagship phone "Nothing (3)" to cost "around" $899.

I thought Nothing 1 was their first flagship phone.

It will launch in the third quarter, meaning between July and September 2025. The Nothing Phone (3) supposedly uses "premium materials" and gets a significant performance upgrade. Assumably, the phone could be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite.

I was looking forward to this (not that I was going to buy) but $899 is no joke for their brand.

Phone 1 was more like a mid-ranger IMO. Also, at that price (900 USD), if they could not distinguish Phone 3 from other Android manufacturers, it would be a tough sell.

Hold on your horses brands, Nothing is coming to eat into your share.
If they could really make some innovative choices in the budget segment, I am very interested to see what craziness they can bring to premium tier. Nothing should normalize having headphone jacks , sd card slots, custom buttons and high quality audio back to the phones and maybe even 3D tech (i remember a time when lots of brands jumped onto 3d for a little while.) Make phones fun again

I remember they had followed a similar strategy for OnePlus. OnePlus One was a steal, OnePlus X was okay, and OnePlus 3 onwards was pricey.

I had the oneplus one , two and 3t , the oneplus one was an amazing phone for the time, 2 was good to look at but had so many heating issues, the 3t was perfect .

Pei is smoking something good, looking at rumors, Nothing is planning on using 8 Gen 3, aside from that they wont be matching Apple/Google/Samsung camera quality anytime soon and then they are expecting 90k for that phone?

Good luck selling it, peeps might buy it if it was priced at 40-50k but any buyer sinking that kind of dough, will not even look at Nothing, aside from that useless glyph gimmick, is there anything of value? OS might be good, but afaik its just stock with barely any Nothing exclusive features on it.

IMO, its gonna follow the path of Phone 2, launched at 55k iirc, and it was selling for 40-45K 3 months down the line
