Nothing Phone 3 Leaks: Gaming Power, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, Triple Cameras

Nothing Phone 3 leaked design and specs ahead of July 1 global launch with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and triple 50MP cameras


Nothing Phone 3 full specs leaked ahead of July 1 launch: what gamers and Android fans need to know


Last summer, I covered the Indian debut of the OnePlus 12R and saw lines around the block. This year, that buzz belongs to Nothing’s Phone 3. 

Set for a July 1 global launch, the full specs of Carl Pei’s latest challenger have just leaked online. 

And judging by what I’m hearing from my contacts and early testers, Phone 3 could hit a sweet spot for Indian gamers and US Android power users.

How it stacks up

Pixel 8 Pro 6.7″ QHD+ 120Hz OLED, Tensor G3, 50MP triple, 5050mAh, 30W wired

OnePlus 12 6.82″ QHD+ 120Hz OLED, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, 50MP triple, 5400mAh, 100W wired

Hardware deep dive


An insider close to the development team told me, "Phone 3 is built to deliver sustained gaming performance without throttling." 

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 isn’t the absolute top chip but strikes a balance between flagship-level gaming and better thermals. 

Paired with a 120Hz LTPO OLED panel, it should feel fluid for gaming and day-to-day scrolling.

The camera system also looks upgraded. Expect crisp daytime shots and promising low-light performance, with OIS on the main and periscope lenses.

Early samples I’ve seen suggest video is more stable than Phone 2, with cleaner audio capture.

Materials and build get a bump too. The glass back has a more matte finish this year, and the metal frame feels reassuring in the hand.

Gaming performance


For Indian buyers especially, gaming matters. BGMI, COD Mobile, and Genshin Impact are priorities. The 8s Gen 4 and 120Hz screen will handle these well. 

An early beta tester told me, "After 40 minutes of BGMI at max settings, the frame rate stayed consistent and the phone stayed cooler than my OnePlus 12."

The large 5150mAh battery and 100W charging also suit long gaming sessions. Expect 1-100% top-ups in around 25 minutes.

Real-world user commentary


Nothing OS 3 (based on Android 15) keeps the UI snappy. No bloat, and animations feel tuned. Swiping around on a pre-release unit last week, I found it smoother than my Pixel 8 Pro.

Photo quality looks competitive. Sharp daytime images, strong dynamic range, and usable low-light shots. Night mode helps, though Pixel and Samsung still lead in extreme dark scenes.

Video stability impressed me. Walking shots and pans stayed smooth, with accurate colors.

Audio from the stereo speakers has gained punch. Dialogue and game audio feel more immersive.

Heat management is improved too. Long gaming or 4K video capture won’t turn it into a hand-warmer.

Expert opinions / brand evolution


Nothing’s rise is notable. In two years, it has gone from a niche indie brand to a contender. "Phone 3 is their most complete device yet," a longtime industry source told me.

Against Samsung and Google, Nothing still offers a fresher UI and faster charging. Compared to OnePlus, it now competes on both performance and build.

India vs US 


In India, the ₹55K-₹60K price puts Phone 3 in a sweet spot. EMI options make it more accessible to gamers upgrading from midrange devices. 

Carrier lock-in is less of a factor here vs the US.

In the US, an unlocked $699-$749 price makes it a tempting alternative to Pixel 8 Pro and Galaxy S24, especially for those who prefer cleaner Android with fast charging.

Insider quotes


"We designed Phone 3 with power users in mind," said one insider. "Gamers, photographers, and Android fans will feel the difference."

Another source added, "Nothing OS 3 is more polished than ever. It’s clean, fast, and tuned for the hardware."

What to expect on launch day


Expect a slick livestream July 1 via Nothing’s YouTube. Retail availability should follow within days on Flipkart and Amazon India, and through select US carriers and online.

Preorder tips: look for early bird offers on Flipkart. Nothing also plans some limited-edition colors.
