Nothing will not make a 'flagship' Phone (3) sequel in 2026

  • This year, Nothing CEO Carl Pei confirmed in a YouTube video that Phone 4 will not launch and Phone remains the flagship for this year.
  • The brand plans to double down on over-ear headphones this year while prioritizing the midrange Phone series with two variations, the company said.
  • Pei says Phone will feature premium materials and bold new experimentation in terms of color despite few specs or dates revealed.
  • The company announced a shift away from annual premium smartphone drops and plans to open its first New York City store and a Bengaluru store, expanding physical retail after launching Nothing Headphone in 2025.
  • Citing component costs, Carl Pei said the firm will not `churn out a new flagship every year` so upgrades feel significant, while phones like Phone will cost more with UFS 3.1 adoption.
