Nothing Phone 3 Leak Confirms A024 Model Number

On Thursday, Nothing shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) that revealed a portion of the rear panel of the upcoming Nothing Phone 3. It appears to be the bottom right portion of the smartphone, and it reveals that the model number A024 pertains to the Nothing Phone 3, which is set to launch in India and global markets on July 1.

Another tweet from the Nothing India account on X confirms that the handset will be manufactured in India. Meanwhile, Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis wrote in an X post that he is looking to visit the company's factory in India again. Nothing assembles its smartphones at a plant in Chennai, which has over 500 employees.

While the company has been gradually revealing parts of the Nothing Phone 3, a journalist recently leaked a purported render that shows the entire rear panel of the handset. It reveals a transparent panel, like the company's previous phones, minus the Glyph interface. The image also suggests the phone will have a triple rear camera setup located in a circular camera island.

According to previous reports, the company will equip the upcoming Nothing Phone 3 with high-end specifications. This means that it could be equipped with a Dimensity 9400 SoC, or a Snapdragon 8 series chip. Nothing CEO Carl Pei recently suggested that the handset will be priced around GBP 800 (roughly Rs. 93,000), which means it could compete with smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 or the iPhone 16.
