A leaked internal email from Nothing founder Carl Pei and shared by Evan Blass, a.k.a. @evleaks, shared what we could expect from Nothing's newest smartphone. The company is supposedly hosting a "landmark smartphone launch" for the Nothing Phone (3), which is being touted as the brand's first flagship phone, in the first quarter of 2025. It will also supposedly be the brand's first device to integrate artificial intelligence features.

Nothing is also focusing on the phone's camera capabilities, with the company expanding its camera teams by 50%. Many smartphone AI features focus on camera capabilities, so this rumoured move isn't surprising.
