The Nothing Phone (3) is coming soon and new rumors swirling around the device suggest we’ll get better cameras, a bigger battery, and more.

Nothing teased Phone (3) earlier this week in an epilogue to “The Android Show,” revealing the the device will be the company’s first “true” flagship phone and will have a price to match. But outside of AI promises, we don’t know much about what this device will bring to the table.

SmartPrix is offering a bit of context. Along with spotting Nothing Phone (3) passing through the GSM database with model number “A024,” the publication cites its own sources to add a few tidbits.

Nothing Phone (3) will apparently have a “significantly reworked” camera that includes three sensors, one of which may be a “bigger periscope telephoto lens.” A “marginal” battery upgrade is also apparently planned with capacity somewhere over 5,000 mAh. Phone (2) had a 4,700 mAh battery, and both Nothing Phone (3a) Pro and CMF Phone 2 top out at 5,000 mAh. Phone (3) would also launch with Android 15 out of the box, despite Android 16 likely being available by that point.

We’ll likely hear more details about Phone (3) in the coming weeks and months, probably from Nothing itself, but it does seem that things are shaping up nicely.
