Nothing, a UK-based consumer tech company headed by Carl Pei is set to launch a new smartphone in the Indian market. A cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter) featuring the numbers ‘3, 2, 1’ has sparked curiosity about the upcoming launch. While the product's name was kept hidden in the social media post, it is still undisclosed as the recent hints confirm that it will be a phone, not an audio device.
Phone launch confirmed
Akis Evangelidis, the co-founder of Nothing has confirmed that the upcoming release is indeed a phone, via a tweet posted on X. Further speculations are being made by the fans and expert communities, stating if the device will be the Nothing Phone (3) or the CMF Phone (1).
However, the leaks have mentioned that both the models are rumoured to debut in July. However, the company has yet not indicated a dual launch, which might add another layer of mystery.
Design hints
The teaser image, which was posted on X, showcases a rear panel, with an all-black design, having a matte finish- diverging from the semi-transparent style of previous Nothing phones which were launched by the company.
As per the speculations made, the new smartphone might be under the branding of the CMF- introducing the Phone (1) under the sub-brand. This is because the company recently introduced the Phone (2a), which is a budget-friendly variant, and retains the semi-transparent aesthetic.
If the phone is Nothing Phone (3), then the new variant could feature the new design, providing a fresh look for the series.
Pricing and features of the upcoming smartphone
As per the speculations made, if the device teased is the CMF Phone (1), then it will be priced at around Rs 20,000.
If the upcoming device is Nothing Phone (3), it is then anticipated to range from around Rs 40,000 to Rs 45,000.
Although, the teaser image also suggests a possible removable rear panel, which indicates a visible screw on the back.
Countdown to launch
As the launch date approaches, more and more details will be teased by the tech player.
The "3, 2, 1" hint further suggested a significant countdown, which possibly indicates the third-generation Nothing Phone.
