Nothing Phone (3) Confirmed for US Launch: Full Availability Expected After Years-Long Wait

It’s been a long wait for US fans of Nothing smartphones. Nearly two years have passed since a Nothing Phone was officially released in the United States, outside of limited “beta” programs. But that’s about to change with the upcoming Nothing Phone (3), according to Carl Pei, the company’s founder.

The Nothing Phone (2) marked a significant step for the brand, being the first widely sold smartphone in the US in 2023. However, despite the growth Nothing has experienced since, subsequent devices – the Phone (2a) and Phone (3a) series, along with phones from the CMF sub-brand – have only been accessible to US buyers through a “beta program”. This program, while offering access, restricted sales to Nothing’s website and meant that the devices didn’t fully support US cellular bands, making for a less-than-ideal experience.

Now, Carl Pei himself has dropped some exciting news on Twitter/X: the Nothing Phone (3) is “100%” coming to the United States. While not entirely unexpected, given the wider release of the Phone (2), it’s hugely encouraging to hear, especially after multiple launches that sidelined the US market. It’s important to note that Pei’s tweet doesn’t explicitly guarantee a release *outside* of a beta program, but given the context, that’s the most hopeful interpretation.

A Bit About the Timeline

The Nothing Phone (3) is expected to launch sometime during the third quarter of 2025 (Q3 2025), potentially as early as July. It feels like a long time, but the anticipation is building!

What This Means for US Consumers

This confirmation is a big win, especially considering ongoing tariff challenges and uncertainties in the US market. While it's still possible the Phone (3) might initially be available only through Nothing’s own website or retailers like Amazon, the prospect of wider availability is thrilling.

Ideally, Nothing will form partnerships with major US carriers this time around. This would unlock more lucrative deals and bring those distinctive and unique Nothing phones to a much broader audience. It's quite a relief knowing the Phone 3 will even *make* it to the US after the previous roadblocks.

Nothing is a breath of fresh air in the Android world, consistently delivering devices that stand out from the crowd. The Phone 3a series and CMF Phone 2 Pro have proven that this company doesn't just churn out the same thing as everyone else – they’re bringing something new to the table. Many are hoping the Phone (3) will be a true flagship killer, and with Pei's recent announcements, the future is looking bright.
