Nothing’s upcoming flagship smartphone, the Phone 3, is set to launch globally on July 1, 2025. As anticipation builds, the company has started teasing key details, revealing that the Phone 3 will be manufactured in India. This announcement has generated significant interest, especially considering India’s growing importance as a tech manufacturing hub and as a key market for Nothing. The Phone 3 is expected to bring substantial upgrades in both design and performance, further elevating the brand’s global presence.

The company confirmed that the new phone will be produced at its Chennai facility, which employs around 500 people, 95% of whom are women. This move is expected to enhance production efficiency, reduce lead times, and better meet consumer demand. Nothing’s decision to manufacture locally aligns with its long-standing commitment to India, where all its smartphones have been made so far. Akis Evangelidis, Co-Founder and President of Nothing India, emphasized the significance of the Indian market for the brand, stating that the company is deepening its investment in local manufacturing, talent, and innovation, in alignment with the Make in India initiative.

In addition to manufacturing, Nothing is also focusing on improving customer service across the country. It is setting up five new service centers in major cities such as Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai. The company already has 20 priority desks and plans to add 10 more, along with expanding its network of authorized service centers. Retail presence has also grown significantly, with the number of stores increasing from 2,000 to 10,000 in just one year, demonstrating the company’s commitment to enhancing the user experience at every stage of the customer journey.

As for the Phone 3 itself, it is rumored to feature major changes, including a performance boost through the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and a possible redesign that may eliminate the signature glyph lighting interface. With these expected upgrades, the Phone 3 could be a compelling option for anyone looking to switch to a premium smartphone.
