If you are a huge fan of Nothing Phones, this news might surprise you. Recently, Nothing Phone CEO Carl Pei teased that the new Nothing Phone 3 could be expensive. So, what should you know about it?
For your information, Nothing CEO Carl Pei shared that the new phone will cost around £800 (~RM3451.60) when it launches this summer. That new cost is thanks to Nothing's decision to go "all-in" on the new device by including "premium materials, major performance upgrades and software that really levels things up," according to Pei.
Additionally, the Nothing Phone 2 launched at £580 (~RM2502.41) in the UK and $600 (~RM2588.70) in the US, so selling the Phone 3 at £800 is a noticeable price jump. Assuming Nothing follows through on the premium upgrades, it's promising, though, maybe it'll make sense that the Phone 3 costs as much as a Pixel 9 or iPhone 16.
Interestingly, this is in contrast with Nothing’s principles. After all, the company made its name on affordable phones that have unique, premium designs. For example, the company launched the Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro in March 2025, the budget and mid-range counterparts to the Phone 3. Both phones use mid-range chips and camera sensors, but feature a futuristic design and clever AI features that you'd expect out of a much more expensive device.
We have yet to confirm other tech specs or the Malaysia release date for the phone. So, we should wait for more confirmation from Nothing. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly.
