The Nothing Phone 3 is gearing up for a launch soon, with CEO Carl Pei revealing price details for the upcoming device. While he hasn't shared specific pricing for each region, Pei has hinted that the phone will come with a significant price hike compared to its predecessor, the Nothing Phone 2.

-
Flagship Status: Nothing's co-founder, Akis Evangelidis, has confirmed that the Phone 3 will be the company's first true flagship phone, implying a higher price tag.
-
Estimated Price: According to Pei, the Nothing Phone 3 is expected to launch at around EUR 800, which translates to approximately $1,063 (USD) or Rs 90,500 in India.
Price Expectations in India:
-
Price Adjustments: While the phone will likely carry a higher price in Europe, the Indian price is expected to be lower. The Nothing Phone 2 started at Rs 44,999 in India, and a Rs 45,500 increase would be considered too steep.
