Nothing Phone (3) Launch Confirmed for July 2025 – “It’s a Magic Number”

Nothing has officially started teasing its next smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3), on social media. The company has now confirmed that the phone will launch in July 2025.
On their social handles, Nothing posted a short 6-second video showing the number 3, followed by the message:
“3. It’s a magic number.”
This teaser confirms both the name and the launch month of the upcoming phone.
Now remains the actual date of the launch event. So it could be in the first week or the second week of July.
What to Expect from Nothing Phone (3)
Recently, Carl Pei, the founder of Nothing, shared some exciting details. He said that the Phone (3) will feature premium materials, major performance upgrades, and better software. He called it “our true flagship smartphone.”
Carl also mentioned that technology should feel exciting again—not just in terms of design, but also with a user-first operating system.
So now, let’s see what the specs of the upcoming phone will be. It will surely have top-notch features, but the major question is about the chipset—will they go with the latest one, or take a step back?
Akis Evangelidis , co-founder of Nothing, also said: ‘Two years in the making. Our first true flagship. Over the past four years, we’ve been steadily building our product capabilities, and Phone (3) is the culmination of it all. I’m buzzing about it, just like when we launched Phone (1). Can’t wait!’
Expected Price of Nothing Phone (3)
Carl Pei hinted that the Phone (3) could be priced around £800 (about USD 1,064 or Rs. 90,850). For comparison, the Nothing Phone (2) with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage was launched at £629 (around USD 836 or Rs. 71,429) and was priced at Rs. 54,999 in India.

Based on this, the Nothing Phone (3) could launch in India at over Rs. 64,999, especially if the 12GB + 256GB model is the base variant. The phone is also expected to include advanced AI features, which could impact the pricing.
OnePlus
OnePlus 13s Brings Flagship Power in Compact Design

OnePlus has officially announced the launch date for its upcoming smartphone, the OnePlus 13s. The phone will be launched in India on June 5, 2025, at 12 PM.
The OnePlus 13s is a rebranded version of the OnePlus 13T, which was recently launched in China. This new device is exciting for OnePlus fans, especially because the company hasn’t released a compact flagship phone in a long time.
The OnePlus 13s is expected to be one of the most affordable smartphones powered by the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. This makes it a strong option for users looking for performance at a lower price.

Colour Options for India
In China, the OnePlus 13T was launched in Pink and Black. These two colours will also be available in India. In addition, a new Green colour option will be launched in India, which is expected to be exclusive to the country.
I also feel that the green color will be the best buy for everyone. But let’s wait for the actual in-hand feel.
Features of OnePlus 13s
The phone will feature a special 4400mm² Cryo-Velocity Vapor Chamber for cooling. This is an industry-first technology built into the back cover to keep the phone cool during long gaming sessions. It will be 8.15mm thin and weigh just 185 grams.

The Plus Key will debut with this device in India, although details on its function will be shared during the launch.
It includes an advanced antenna system with 11 antennas and comes with the G1 Wi-Fi chipset. The phone will also support 5.5G connectivity, offering faster and more stable network performance.
More information about the price, specifications, and features will be revealed during the official event.
OnePlus 13s Launch Date:
June 5, 2025, at 12 PM (IST)
Stay tuned for updates as OnePlus gets ready to launch what could be one of the most exciting compact flagship phones of the year.

Apple’s Slim iPhone 17 Air Leaks in New Photos

A new leak has revealed photos comparing the upcoming iPhone 17 Air to the iPhone 16 Plus, the model it is expected to replace. The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to launch this September alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Apple is believed to be replacing the iPhone 16 Plus with the new Air model because the Plus versions have not sold well in recent years. The company is hoping that the slimmer design of the iPhone 17 Air will attract more buyers.
The iPhone 17 Air is said to be extremely thin—just 5.5mm or 5.65mm, depending on which leak you believe. However, to achieve this slim design, it may come with a small 2,800 mAh battery, which is even smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge’s 3,900 mAh battery.
While the smaller battery may be a concern, Apple is expected to offer a battery case that adds extra power—though it might take away from the slim and light feel of the device.
The iPhone 17 Air will reportedly weigh 145 grams, lighter than Samsung’s 163g Galaxy S25 Edge. However, it will have only one rear camera, compared to the two cameras on the Samsung model.
The leaked images give us a first look at how different the iPhone 17 Air will be compared to the model it’s replacing. More details are expected to come out closer to the official launch.
