London-based tech disruptor Nothing just dropped a bombshell: Its upcoming Phone (3) will get 5 years of Android updates and 7 years of security patches – smashing industry standards! As someone who’s tested every Nothing device since 2022, I can confirm this changes everything for Indian buyers tired of short-lived phones.
Key Highlights
- Record-Breaking Support
- 5 years of major Android upgrades (vs. Samsung’s 4 years)
- 7 years of security updates – longest in Android history!
- Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Beast
- 88% faster GPU, 33% quicker CPU vs. Phone (2)
- 125% AI boost – perfect for Instagram/TikTok creators
- Massive Upgrade
- Phone (2) offered only 3 OS updates → Phone (3) adds 2 extra years
- Security patches jump from 4 to 7 years (like iPhones!)
Why This Matters to India
Nothing’s co-founder Aquis Evangelidis revealed this game-changer on social media after fans demanded longer support. My take? This targets India’s price-sensitive market where people use phones for 5+ years.
*”When I checked with Mumbai retailers yesterday, pre-booking interest is already 3X higher than Phone (2). Indians love longevity!”*

During my Phone (2) long-term test last monsoon, I noticed lag after 18 months. With Phone (3)’s raw power + extended support? You’ll save ₹15,000-₹20,000 by skipping upgrades!
