Nothing Phone 3 teaser confirms summer launch, £800 price, and built-in AI

The Nothing Phone 3 teaser just dropped—and this one actually tells us something. After skipping a flagship release in 2024, Carl Pei finally confirmed that the Phone 3 is launching this summer. He shared the update during Google’s Android Show, giving fans their first real taste of what to expect.

This early Nothing Phone 3 teaser highlights a few key things: a summer launch window, a price around £800 (about $1,060), and a major push into AI. Pei says the device will bring “premium materials,” “performance upgrades,” and “software that really levels things up.” In typical Pei fashion, that could mean anything—but it sounds like Nothing is finally ready to join the flagship race for real.

Pei says the team has been working with its community to bake AI features right into the system. He describes it as “not just bolted on, but built in.” That’s a subtle jab at the current trend of adding AI for the sake of it. Nothing wants its software to feel more like a natural extension of how you use your phone—adaptive, personalized, and useful.

That’s what the company’s new “Essential Space” is all about. It’s a suite of AI features introduced with the 3a and 3a Pro, focused on daily utility. You’ve also got the new “Essential Key,” a physical button that launches AI tools like voice notes or smart content search. If it all works as advertised, it could be one of the more thoughtful implementations of AI on a smartphone so far.

With a summer launch locked in, we won’t have to wait long to see if Nothing delivers. If they do, the Phone 3 might finally be more than just cool marketing—it could actually be a serious flagship contender.
