The new sensor is said to offer 3x optical zoom. Previous leaks have suggested a triple rear camera unit on the Phone 3. Besides the new periscope telephoto sensor, the camera setup is rumoured to include a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide shooter.

As per past leaks, the Nothing Phone 3 will have a 50-megapixel front camera. The phone is said to feature a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED screen with a 1.5K resolution and a 5,150mAh battery with 100W wired charging support. The phone could support wireless and reverse wireless charging.

Recently, Nothing confirmed that the Phone 3 will have a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset under the hood. The company also assured five years of Android OS updates and seven years of security patches for the upcoming phone. It is set to launch on July 1 alongside the Nothing Headphone 1.
