Nothing made quite some noise in the market with its affordable offering, the Nothing Phone 2a. After that, all eyes are set on its next smartphone- the Nothing Phone (3). But now it seems we have to wait longer than expected as our beloved Carl “Bhai” has announced that we will not get a new smartphone in 2024. He shared that Nothing Phone (3) will be delayed.
CEO Carl Pei took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video that informed us that the next Nothing smartphone will get delayed. And the reason? They are trying to get the “product right”. Instead, we can expect the next smartphone in 2025.

Taking into consideration the latest AI wave that we’re all witnessing, Pei said that they are working to incorporate cutting-edge AI features on the upcoming Nothing smartphone. But he wants to get it absolutely right. This comes after the backlash against products like the Humane Ai Pin and the Rabbit R1. He said Nothing will incorporate the best AI features within the smartphone form factor only.
So Nothing is not planning to bring out a new device solely for AI but will focus on smartphones only. He said that he wants to “build a bridge from today’s app-based user experience to tomorrow’s post-app world.” All this, we’ll get to see in the upcoming Nothing Phone (3). And hence the delay.
If we talk about AI integration, Nothing has already started to integrate AI into its products. Recently, the Nothing OS 2.5.5 update was released which adds ChatGPT widgets to the home screen and a new feature to paste content into ChatGPT from the screenshot and clipboard pop-up. Also, ChatGPT was integrated into Nothing earbuds.
