Realme 15 Pro Plus India Launch: Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 7,000 mAh Battery, ₹28,999 Starting Price I still remember standing in a small mobile shop in Connaught Place five years ago, holding my first Realme phone. The device was surprisingly snappy, yet affordable - an unusual combination at the time. It felt like Realme had cracked the code for Indian buyers seeking high performance without spending a fortune. Today, the launch of the Realme 15 Pro Plus promises to revisit that philosophy, but with a far more ambitious approach. This article evaluates whether Realme’s latest midrange flagship lives up to the hype, combining real-world hands-on impressions, local insights, and verified specifications. Power Under the Hood: Midrange Performance Redefined The Realme 15 Pro Plus is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, while the standard Realme 15 comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 7300+ SoC. Both are built on efficient 4nm fabrication processes, promising higher performance and better th...
Nothing Phone 3 and Headphone 1 leaks reveal big design shift, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 inside
*Nothing’s next flagship smartphone and debut over-ear headphones are already stirring buzz online, with new leaks pointing to bold changes in design and hardware.
Here’s what tech enthusiasts can expect from the Nothing Phone 3 and Headphone 1.
I still remember when the first Nothing Phone hit the market - that fresh transparent design and the quirky Glyph lights gave Android fans something exciting after years of sameness.

Lately though, chatter across forums and Telegram groups has been shifting: will Nothing stick to its formula, or change direction entirely this year? With the latest leaks surfacing this week, we’re finally getting clearer hints.
Ahead of the July 1 launch, more detailed reports on both Nothing Phone 3 and Nothing Headphone 1 are emerging.

The phone seems ready to shake up the brand’s familiar look, while the headphones aim to compete head-to-head with big names like Sony and Apple in premium audio.
Let’s dive in.
Nothing Phone 3: Dropping Glyph lights, adding flagship power
Among the biggest surprises in the latest leaks is the apparent removal of the Glyph LED interface - the signature design element of Nothing’s previous phones.

Nothing Phone 3: Dropping Glyph lights, adding flagship power
Among the biggest surprises in the latest leaks is the apparent removal of the Glyph LED interface - the signature design element of Nothing’s previous phones.
Instead, reliable tipster accounts suggest that Phone 3 will introduce a new transparent back featuring a dot-matrix style display, somewhat inspired by Asus ROG Phone concepts.
For hardware, here’s what we know:
Component Details
Display 6.7-inch OLED, 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh
Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4
Camera (rear) 50MP main, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP telephoto (3x zoom)
Front Camera 50MP
Battery 5150mAh, 100W wired charging
Wireless Charging Yes, with reverse wireless support
Expected Price (India) ~Rs 60,000
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is an interesting choice. It delivers near-flagship gaming and AI performance - close to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 - but could help keep prices slightly below ultra-premium rivals.
One early comment from an insider who has seen prototype devices: “Phone 3 feels smoother and snappier than the 2a or Phone 2, and the new back design is quite eye-catching - though long-time fans might miss the Glyph.”
During a brief conversation with a friend who owns the Phone 2, he mentioned the Glyph lights were more of a novelty after six months. So in that sense, the design change may reflect what users are really doing with these features in day-to-day life.
The camera stack is another leap forward. All 50MP sensors - even for telephoto and front - suggest Nothing wants to be taken more seriously in mobile photography this time around.
For battery and charging, 100W wired support stands out, likely allowing a full charge in under 30 minutes (based on similar setups from other brands).

Wireless and reverse wireless keep the device competitive for power users.
Pricing is tipped around Rs 60,000 in India, positioning it clearly in the upper-midrange/entry-flagship space. This would make it the most expensive Nothing product yet and will likely draw comparisons to OnePlus 12R, Pixel 8 and similar rivals.
Nothing Headphone 1: Aiming for premium sound
Perhaps more quietly, Nothing Headphone 1 marks the brand’s first move into over-ear audio - and potentially one of the most interesting ones yet.
Leaked images via community accounts show a minimalist, patterned design - distinct from the transparent earbud aesthetic, but still recognizably “Nothing.” The form factor looks premium, though no fully transparent elements are obvious this time.
A tipster from a supply chain source hinted that the headphones will support both wireless and wired modes, with full compatibility for Hi-Res Audio and Lossless codecs.

That positions them closer to audiophile-friendly competitors like Sony WH-1000XM5 and Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless.
Component Details
Design Over-ear, minimalist “Nothing” look
Wired Support Yes (for Hi-Res and Lossless audio)
Wireless Codec Support Expected to support LDAC / aptX HD (TBC)
Expected Price ~$300 USD
As of now, deeper details like ANC levels, battery life, or driver size haven’t surfaced. Sources I follow - and have verified with past correct Nothing leaks - suggest the headphones are tuned for balanced, slightly warm sound rather than bass-heavy.
For a first product in this category, this would be a smart move: competing directly with Sony and Apple means tuning needs to hit a sweet spot for most users.

A financial press leak spotted on Financial Express recently also hinted that Nothing may bundle the headphones with Phone 3 at launch in select markets - a strategy we’ve seen from other challenger brands.
In casual chats across tech Telegram channels, the headphone design has already sparked interest. One audiophile group moderator posted: “If Nothing tunes it right and the build is premium, $300 seems fair. Will need to see how ANC stacks up though.”
Nothing Phone 3 expected to feature Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, all-50MP camera array, and a new design ditching Glyph lights.
Expected India price ~Rs 60,000 puts it in uper-midrange/entry-flagship bracket.
Nothing Headphone 1 targets $300 premium segment, with wired Hi-Res and wireless Lossless support.
Design shift suggests Nothing evolving beyond “quirky” brand roots - aiming at mainstream premium buyers.
Official reveal confirmed for July 1, 2025 - global markets including India likely to follow soon after.
As always with pre-launch leaks, a few details could shift, but so far the trend seems clear: Nothing wants to be seen not just as an edgy indie brand, but as a serious competitor in high-performance phones and audio gear.
I’ll be watching closely when the launch event kicks off - and I’ll post fresh takes as soon as we get hands-on info.

New Nothing Phone 3 will not have Glyph lights; new back display is coming.
Powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip inside.
Cameras: 50MP on all lenses.
Very fast charging: 100W wired, wireless also supported.
