Nothing co-CEO Akis Evangelidis has revealed the company's big plans for Phone (3) support, which will be the longest running in the brand's history.

Here's What We Know

The company says its "first true flagship" will get five years of Android support and seven years of security patches.

Few gadgets can boast of such long updates, and if we make a comparison with the Nothing Phone (2), it claims 3 years of OS updates and four years of security patches.

In turn, the already released Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro will be updated on a "3 + 6" scheme.

In addition, Akis Evangelidis also spoke about the increased performance of Phone (3), which will be provided by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip compared to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-based Phone (2):
  • +88% in GPU
  • +33% in CPU
  • +125% NPU

The Nothing Phone (3) will be unveiled on the 1st of July.
