Nothing Teases Event at MWC 2024: Potential Preview of Phone 3 on the Horizon

Previous MWC Teaser: Nothing Hinted at the Chipset for Nothing Phone 2 in 2023

The launch of the Nothing Phone 2 in India marked the second smartphone offering from the UK-based brand, hitting the market in July of the current year. Anticipation now mounts for the anticipated successor, the Nothing Phone 3, slated to make its debut around a comparable timeframe in 2024.

In a recent development, the Carl Pei-led company has unveiled plans for an event scheduled during February 2024, coinciding with the Mobile World Congress (MWC). This event serves as an initial indication of the brand’s potential forthcoming product release. It’s worth noting that Nothing had previously confirmed the arrival of the Nothing Phone 2 during the MWC 2023.

Through a disclosed media invite (as reported by RapidZapper), Nothing has disclosed its arrangement for an event during MWC 2024. Dubbed ‘Nothing to See,’ this event is set to unfold on February 27, within the timeline of the MWC 2024 event scheduled from February 26 to February 29 in Barcelona.

If Nothing’s past moves are anything to judge by, we can consider the February event an early teaser for the Nothing Phone 3 or Phone (2a). Nothing used previous MWC conferences to build hype for its Phone 1 and Phone 2. Carl Pei showcased a prototype of the Nothing Phone 1 back in MWC 2022 whereas the brand confirmed the Snapdragon 8-series processor for Phone 2 at this year’s MWC.

 

 

Rumours about the Nothing Phone 3 or Phone (2a) have already emerged on the Web earlier. The company is speculated to stick to its transparent back design with the next handset.

A Nothing smartphone with the model number A142 was recently spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website. It is expected to come with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display and could include a mid-range Snapdragon or MediaTek Dimensity chipset.

Within its smartphone lineup, Nothing presently boasts the Nothing Phone 1 and the Nothing Phone 2. The latter made its debut in July, arriving with an initial price tag of Rs. 44,999 for the base model sporting 8GB RAM coupled with 128GB storage. Powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, this device showcases a revamped Glyph Interface complemented by LED lighting features.
