If you needed a reason to look forward to 2025, maybe Nothing’s three new phones might be enough to keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming year. For now, the rumored Nothing Phone details are few as we only have word from some of the most well-informed tipsters to go on, however, considering the busy year Nothing has had, it won’t be a surprise to see a full range of new smartphone offerings from the company.
A Geekbench listing for the Nothing phone 3 is at the heart of the excitement around the company’s next venture in the smartphone category, paired with rumors from tipster Yogesh Brar.

Nothing Rumored to Have Three New Phones for 2025—Here’s Everything We Know
Nothing has had quite a few successful launches this year, both in and outside the smartphone category. The Nothing Phone 2 and 2a borrowed from the design aesthetic of the original Nothing Phone, while the Nothing CMF Phone 1 left us with a brand-new take on smartphone design. The Nothing Ear (a) and Nothing Ear (open) also found a loyal customer base that quickly embraced the products’ unique designs.
The Nothing phone 3 was initially expected to see a 2024 launch, but CEO Carl Pei announced that the release had been pushed back. Perhaps Nothing’s three new phones in 2025 will leave us with a fresh series that has both “Pro” versions along with more basic alternatives to cater to a full range of customers.
Geekbench Listing for the Nothing Phone 3
The rumored Nothing Phone 3 details revealed through the Geekbench appearance suggest we’re getting a new device with the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC featuring an Adreno 810 GPU. The phone is expected to have 8GB RAM and support Android 15 to power the Nothing OS. The device, codenamed A059, scored 1,149 and 2,813 points in Geekbench’s single and multi-core tests, respectively.
On the surface of things, the SoC may appear to be a little disappointing considering that initial rumors surrounding the phone spoke of a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. The company hasn’t revealed the details of the Nothing phones launching next year, but it may still live up to expectations considering CEO Pei has spoken of a “redefined” smartphone that will come with the AI experiences that everyone is currently looking for in their handsets.
We may also have a Nothing Phone 3 Pro model that takes the specs revealed through the Geekbench data one step further.

Additional Rumored Nothing Phone Details
The Nothing Phone 3 could have a 6.5-inch display while the more “Pro” variant could feature a 6.7-inch display. Some rumors suggest that there could be multiple RAM configurations for customers to choose from. A listing for an A059P phone on the IMEI database suggests this could be the Plus or Pro smartphone with a Dimensity 9400 SoC.
Fans have been hopeful about the possibility of an Action button but there is no concrete evidence to suggest this is a detail we’ll see incorporated. All of Nothing’s three new phones could launch in mid-2025, but there could be a staggered release with only the first model or two in the first half of the year.
There are 3 new phones from Nothing under active development right now.
These Will likely cover H1 2025

The Nothing Phone 3 could be priced at around $599 USD and the Pro variant may be marked up at $699 USD. These numbers are only estimates, but they build on the expectations set by previous launches.
Nothing may or may not continue with interesting design choices like a Glyph lighting configuration on the back, a glow-in-the-dark setup, or even the CMF phone’s modular design, but we love a good surprise and Nothing always delivers in that regard. The company is never coy about the details of its devices closer to launch day, so we’ll likely hear from the source itself soon enough.
