Nothing has officially set the date for the launch of its upcoming smartphone in India. The company will unveil the device on March 4, 2025, at 3:00 PM. Although the exact model has not been confirmed, speculation suggests the phone could be the Nothing Phone 3, which is expected to follow the Nothing Phone 2. CEO Carl Pei has already confirmed the launch event, though it remains unclear whether the phone will be the flagship Phone 3 or a lower-end model, such as the Phone 3a.

Recent leaks point to the possibility of the device being part of the Phone 3a series, not the flagship model. A tipster noted that the Flipkart teaser page references achievements of the Nothing Phone (2a), implying that the new device may be part of this series.
