Worth it, just get it on sale.
It's a really good device, has good enough camera's, good performance and battery. Near stock android OS with distinct exclusive features, my only real complaint is the price, if it was only starting 649....... Either way, it's a good daily driver.

It's Just a Really Solid Phone Experience!
I had been looking for a new phone on and off for a few years, and really started looking in the past few months since my existing phone was old. So old, that current apps would randomly crash. Not fancy games; no, Google messages, email, YouTube. I had an LG G8X Thinq Dual Screen(I really miss the separate/dual screens) :( It had the same specs as a Galaxy S10. Both the G8X and the S10 came out at the same time in 2019. Why Not Samsung?! Samsung, is outrageously over priced, and is full of bloat apps, and duplicate apps. Some, like KNOX you maybe shouldn't remove. There has been absolutely no outward innovation from Samsung in over 10 generations. All the phones look the same and all run over $1000. The phone also runs several AI agents, that I am not a fan of. The folding screens are a travesty across the board. 2 or 3 separate screens is the way to go. Why not Apple? Apple's history of 'playing games'(the battery limiting fiasco, fighting with app makers, internal planned obsolescence, $%&ty phone repair support without paying a kidney, for AppleCare, which the company continually tries to say 'does not cover X, Y, Z'. If you didn't have problems, great! I've worked in an Apple care approved repair company, and the number of times we had to turn down customers because AppleCare didn't cover the perfectly reasonable repair, was bonkers! Then we get to the sky high price for the phone, and the all intrusive Siri AI. "Hard No" Why Nothing? It's different, and leans toward use, instead of flash! Besides the Glyph features, the phone is really meant to 'get things done' In the settings, you have the options to use the normal flashy app icons, or 'grey scale' icons. You can also opt to show or hide the app names. Less clutter, so you can focus on 'that thing you are trying to do'. Yes the Nothing Phone 3 does have AI, as EVERY$$%%@#$THING does these days. Sadly, you can not fully disable or remap the 'AI' button. However, with a few minutes of tinkering in the settings, you can mostly disable the 'Nothing AI' features. Now the phone works as I really like it, plane and 'bare bones'. Great Job Nothing! The "Glyph" features are cool, make no mistake. It's nice to have...it's kind of a 'mullet phone'(LOL Sorry). Business up front, and party in the back. LOL Spin the bottle, dice, and the sun clock are neat and great for the odd party. The dice glyph has already settled several decisions with my friends and I, with a quick 'odds or evens' decision. LOL. The phone does have wireless charging. The coil is hidden under the decorative back façade. It's a little wonky and difficult to position on some wireless chargers(especially some portable battery banks with wireless charging), because the coil is shaped to make room for the 'glyph' button. But, it does work. Verdict, I'm a big fan of the phone and will likely stay with Nothing if they continue on this track. The camera is much better than the G8X, but I don't really care about a camera. I take more photos of serial numbers(I work it tech) than Instagram photos. If I can read the serial number, that's all I need. I'm not a fan of AI and I'm not really a mobile gamer. - No/minimal AI? Check! - Camera that works? Check! - 12/16GB of RAM for multi-tasking? Check! - Wireless Charging? Check! - Clean UI? Check - The speakers are a big improvement over the G8X, still very much 'phone speakers', but a nice boost, to movies/videos chilling at home. * I don't really have anything to say about the CPU(Snapdragon 8s Gen4) Not the Elite. I really haven't seen a problem not having the flagship proc. As the Nothing CEO said, they focused on a really good phone experience, and that's what they've done. No issue! The only things, I would change are personal nit pick gripes. - Option to disable/remove AI across the board - Reduce text/UI spacing. I like a really compact interface. I want to be able to see as much information on the screen as possible. - Make the wireless charging coil 'easier' to position. Great job Nothing!

Balanced, every feature feels well planned
Amazing phone. It's barely been a few days but so far it feels like this is what I've been wanting in a phone for so long. It feels like the phone works for me and not I for the phone. All the smart features feel well thought out and not shoved down your throat like other ecosystems. If you have their headphones and watches it feels solid, not like apple, but for the price you're paying that feels less like a problem and more like a feature.

Great phone but with carrier support issues
Great phone overall my reduced rating is that the phone I was sent is unable to be activated on eSIM (its enabled on the phone for eSIM2) on Tmobile. IMEI 1 or 2 are not recognized by the process in the app or from the Tlife agent. I had to escalate to a supervisor to have them activate by the EID which is their system reads as a generic IoT device. Its very strange as their website shows the phone is fully supported. The phone will also not recognize esim to esim transfers on Android between devices which is very strange. Otherwise the phone works great with snappy processing and a great feel and interface. Camera results are great to my eye with a very moody contrast look. Battery life is outstanding. It feels just as fast as my S25 Ultra so no concerns there even though the processor is technically weaker.

Incredible Innovation
Wow, in a world of boring yearly phone releases we get this gem from Nothing. This phone is flawless so far. Great battery life, a beautiful display, excellent connectivity (Google Fi). The phone is phenomenal and the fact that you get a massive amount of storage makes it even better. Nothing is a great company as well and they are really emerging as the next great innovators in multiple tech segments.

A Brick Within 1 Month
It was an ok phone, until it broke in 1 month. I got this as a replacement for a Google Pixel 6 after I had that phone for 4 years. Upon receiving the phone I noticed it was a nice build and Nothing OS was sorta cool. But that's all the good I have to say about it. The Novelty of the OS soon wore off, no big deal. I was with a phone that was medium in quality. This phone does not feel like a flagship phone. Actually I would say it underperformed the Google Pixel 6 I had by a great margin. Loading times were sloppier and there was a lot less functionality in the phone itself when doing simple tasks. I expected less functionality than Google of course since nothing is a small company but the fact that their phone from 2025 could not outperform a pixel 6 from 2021 chagrined me a great deal. Nevertheless I expected it to run better in subsequent OS updates. Until. . . Suddenly it just stopped working. I never let this phone charge overnight, nor did I abuse this phone battery in any way. The phone itself simply never turned on again after a month of use. I woke up one morning after using the nothing phone 3. Just 5 hours before I was using it and now it wasn't charging or anything you could imagine my frustration. This wasn't the only time either, the phone briefly didn't turn on or charge a week prior to this but it worked eventually after a few minutes. This time was different. Not to mention this phone would die from 20% overnight to 0%. My Google Pixel 6 could still hold a charge at night going from 20% to 19%. So here is what I had to say if you want a long lasting phone that performs well, I would not recommend this phone unless you want to gamble that you don't also receive a defect. I should have my refund in a few days and I will update this review to let you know how that process went. Thank you.

Second to NONE!!!
If you're interested enough to even know or be looking into Nothing's products (particularly their phones) I can say without a doubt, you %100 will NOT be disappointed!!! Phone 3 (black) unlocked 16gb RAM 512gb Storage (no SD slot) Nothing OS 4.0 (Android 16) Running on Verizon network Coming from my previous phone which was a mid tier Motorola (construction work, particularly roofing, didn't bode well for expensive devices as they tend not to enjoy 2 story falls) this was a quantum leap in every aspect. I have owned and purchased pretty much every brand of high end device either for myself or my daughters and this will still be choice moving forward. The build quality is second to NONE. Outside of the design language, this could come in an Apple or Samsung box and you wouldn't be none the wiser. Anyone who says different is a lie. Obviously cosmetic appeal is entirely subjective, but as far as it's choice of materials and build quality they are 1:1 with all other flagships. Performance is beyond what I could have asked for. This being a little skewed in my situation as I came directly from a very mid tier device nonetheless the real world performance is indiscernible from my oldest iPhone or my youngests Galaxy. I haven't owned a device with an AMOLED display in years, and I forgot just how much of a difference it makes. The 120hz refresh is rock solid, and only time I could get it to drop frames/stutter is with multiple videos playing (verified w/ dev tools 'show FPS' option) which was easy to test with the multitasking options in Nothing OS 4.0. Synthetics will show a performance difference but the user will NEVER notice it in real world use. Add in the additional customization offered on too if what Android 16 already does, this makes Samsung and most other Android devices seem locked down as an iOS device. If your even partially intrigued by the Glyph Matrix, I can say you will actually find legitimate uses for it beyond it's novelty which I was more than impressed by. The overall polish of the OS would have me forgiving anyone who forgets they are using an Android device, Nothing has done a fantastic job of eliminating anything that feels 'generic' from their OS and making into something that feels completely unique (and that is in my opinion). Battery life is what you would expect from a high end, large format, flagship tier device although I do wish it was a little better, this is an area that it cannot match the likes of an iphone in. Even using multiple efficiency options like adaptive brightness etc. I'm still a little unimpressed. Although I must add that when it comes to charging, its fast as hell when using the factory cord with a compatible fast charge PD box. I don't recall the actual charge specs of the top of my head, but it's fast enough to heat up the cord substantiality. If I had to rate this I would give it 9/10 as I don't believe anything is perfect. Nothing WILL be my next device after my experience with the Phone 3. The only person I would tell to consider something else would be in regards to your carrier. The biggest downfall i see is the fact none of the major carriers in the US offer the Nothing kine. I am on Verizon and I literally just pulled my SIM out of my previous device, put it in my P3, and it instantly connected with absolutely ZERO issues. I have read that other carrier's do not play nice with Nothing devices as of now, so I suggest doing your research if you are on any carrier other than Verizon currently.

I LOVE the camera and love this franchise.
I absolutely love the Nothing franchise so far. Really good phones for cheap. There's some things here and there that can urk me with how it functions but usually they take of those things with updates or it's something I can look pass. I have the white one but got the black one for my dad and usually he complains about phones but I haven't heard him do so yet. He seems to like it. I've dropped this phone more times than I can count and it still does not have a scratch on it. I would recommend getting a secondary screen cover. It comes with one already on but with how much I drop my phone, I bought some cheaper glass one's. Camera quality is very important to me and I ABSOLUTELY love this camera. Picks up really good at night as well. I also love the glyph function, it turns heads, allows me to see my notifications or the time in meetings without seeming rude and helps out with taking pictures with friends on your back facing camera. Here are some pictures I've taken so you can see the camera quality if that's what you also care about.

Parecchio soddisfatto
Telefono davvero bello, soprattutto per il design che è diverso dal solito. Lo schermo è ottimo, fluido e luminoso, mentre il sistema è veloce e senza inutili app preinstallate. La fotocamera fa buone foto e la batteria dura tranquillamente tutta la giornata. Mi piace molto anche l'interfaccia Nothing, semplice e curata. Per chi cerca uno smartphone particolare e affidabile è un ottimo acquisto.

Gros coup de cœur : original, fluide et endurant !
J'utilise ce Nothing Phone (3) et franchement, c'est une excellente surprise à tous les niveaux. Voici mon ressenti après l'avoir bien pris en main : Design et Interface : L'interface Nothing OS est toujours aussi agréable, simple et épurée, un vrai bonheur au quotidien. Le système Glyph au dos est certes un petit gadget visuel, mais c'est très ludique. Surtout, ça permet de poser son téléphone face vers le bas pour suivre ses notifications grâce aux lumières, ce qui évite d'être tout le temps tenté de déverrouiller l'écran. Écran et Performances : Le téléphone est ultra fluide et ultra réactif, même lors de longues sessions. L'écran est magnifique avec un excellent taux de rafraîchissement. Petit plus très appréciable : la fréquence descend à 1 Hz quand on utilise l'Always-On Display, ce qui est top pour l'optimisation. Photo et Autonomie : La batterie tient vraiment bien la route, rien à redire. Côté photo et vidéo, la qualité est parfaite. Pour les photographes amateurs, c'est un régal : on peut sortir des clichés magnifiques et facilement les exporter pour les corriger ou les retoucher sur un logiciel dédié. Bilan : Le plus gros point fort à mes yeux aujourd'hui, c'est le tarif. Avec la récente baisse de prix d'environ 15 %, il est devenu vraiment incontournable pour sa gamme. Si vous cherchez un smartphone original, performant et excellent en photo, vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !

Quality and functionality at a great price.
This phone replaced a OnePlus device which needed to be upgraded. I tried to get the OnePlus 13 for many months and gave up. I researched the Nothing phones and was lucky to get the phone 3 with max memory. The data transfer was a breeze and the UI proved silky smooth and mind blowing in it's speed. Since the upgrade my OnePlus buds pro 2 didn't have anc and some of the other features so I replaced them with the noting ear (a). What an improvement in sound quality and bass. The anc is much better too. Both items are worthy contenders in my opinion.

Great unique phone
Was nervous about buying this from Amazon. It's always a good idea to record yourself unboxing expensive items from amazing incase the item isn't what you ordered or it's damaged so you can return it easily. However this came just fine. The phone is fantastic. Upgraded from iPhone 13pro. I will never go back to iPhone after this. I wish I done it earlier. The OS is unique very easy to personalise. It's buttery smooth without any stuttering as you swipe and navigate through apps. Good weight and decent size screen. Comes preinstalled with a screen protector. Comes with a charging lead and a case in the box. Unheard of these days. The design really stands out. It has a cyberpunk style look to it which is really interesting after years of buying iPhones that all look the same. Indidnt bother with any amazon style insurance I opted for insurance from a dedicated firm which cost around £90 a year. Covers everything. Because it's brand new the phone will have full and regular updates for the next 5 years so all in all I highly recommend this phone. Certainly worth the money.
