Nothing - Phone (3) 512GB (Unlocked) - White

I've personally used the Nothing Phone (1), (2) & (3) at the time of writing, and I'll be honest, this review will be a little complicated, as some of the most important aspects of the device were improved, but there is just one small regression that I couldn't shake off, let me explain. To start, regarding performance with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, think of it as an 8 Gen 3 from 2024. The performance is about the same in most regards, but even though the 8s Gen 4 sounds a little weak, it honestly isn't even with the GPU too, as both the CPU and GPU smoke the processors in the (1) and (2), obviously a little less so with the (2) given it shipped with a 8+ Gen 1. If you go for the 512GB variant like I did, you'll also get an extra 4GB of RAM to play with too. In regards to build & design, you know what you want if you're considering this device; coming from the earlier Nothing devices however, I think you might have to warm up to the new Glyph Matrix on this device, as it's not as flashy (literally) as the (1) or (2), but, it's a heck of a lot more customizable (Glyph Museum on the Play Store, for example). It's also a little more abstract when it comes to the back design, but it's still unique to the brand. Elsewhere with the device, it's thick, it's heavy, but it feels premium all-throughout. Especially with the speakers, throw on Wavelet, tune it up, and I promise you that it can reach or even surpass the sound quality of the newest iPhones. With the display, it's about on par with the Nothing Phone (2) in regards to the actual display quality (lack of "dirty OLED", compared to the Phone (1)), and I think you won't find any issues with it, especially in regards to display flickering / PWM for those who are sensitive to it like I am. Just note that Nothing OS is a little limited with the amount of warmth you can apply via the OS' night light. The cameras, however, is where I get hung up. Both the main and telephoto are giant leaps ahead from the (1) and (2), as neither of them shipped with a telephoto lens (aside from the 2x sensor-crop). The main sensor itself is much larger than the prior models, and the 3x periscope telephoto has impressive tele-macro capabilities, however, because of this, they removed the autofocus hardware from the ultrawide lens, and as such, some of the photos I took with the ultrawide looked much softer than I would have liked compared to my Phone (1) and (2), and from what I can tell, the sensor itself is the same across all three from what I recall, it's just the lens design that's changed given it can't autofocus. It's a trade-off that I felt conflicted with every time I went to use the ultrawide lens with the Phone (3). Sure, the telephoto can also reach to 6x via sensor-crop, but I still wish I could have had AF on all three rear lenses. On one hand, with recent Nothing OS versions, you can select from (and even build your own) presets, similar to that of early Photographic Styles, but you can get a heck of a lot more advanced if you port in .CUBE files from a PC. Regarding everything else, like fast-charging & cellular performance, it's fine, but, I must note that you'll have the best experience on T-Mobile networks, like T-Mobile itself or Metro, or similar MVNO's that run on their network, as when I used all three Nothing phones with my Verizon SIMs, Wi-Fi calling was not available, and speeds were slightly limited due to band selection within the device's firmware. All things considered, if you want to stand out, this is absolutely the phone, or honestly, the brand, for you, but I would only suggest it if you want a phone that's higher than a midranger, but just a touch below a true, genuine flagship that gives you everything. In most regards, it's a perfect balance between form & function, but I'll be eager to see where the next generation goes from here. Just make sure you have a carrier that can make the most of this device before you dive in.

Nothing has the potential to be a great phone company the phone is great how ever, it does have some flaws the main camera good but when swirching to ultra wide and zoom you notic a major lost in quality. Also the camera app itself sucks theres no way to switch between the rear and front camera while recording also dual recording doesnt exist on this phone other then that good phone just not there yet but i do believe with time nothing phones will be top phones along side with Apple and samsung !!

I bought the Nothing 3 at $699 ($100 off) last month, which was a great buy, but even at full price, it will still be an excellent purchase. If you are looking for a phone that just works, excellent connectivity, great screen resolution and brightness, and no bloatware, this is your phone. I love the simplicity of the software, and just being able to search anywhere for what I need, and getting there quickly. This is as close as it gets to stock Android without overpaying for a Pixel phone right now. I think the cameras are great, although some people might think that are a little too bright, but I do like them that way (see samples from a sunset that I took). The phone is snappy and responsive, the fingerprint sensor is really quick even though is not ultrasonic. The essential button/space I found useless to my needs, but that being said, you can find ways to remap the button, and making more useful, and no, you don't have to be tech wizard to do it, it is very (extremely) easy to do. I remapped mine to three different functions: one tap - recent apps, two taps - flashlight, and press & hold - switch between ring, vibrate, and silent modes. If you are looking for a gaming phone, this is not the one. It is good for basic online games, but if you play heavy/GPU demanding games, this phone will struggle a little to keep up. I'm not a gamer, so this doesn't bother me at all. Finally, aesthetics, I love the look of the phone, I like that it is completely different from everything else out there, so you will either love it or hate it. There are some many good things to say about this phone, but I will leave at this, this is the best value in the market right now. You are getting a great phone that will match most flagship phones in most areas at LESS THAN HAVE THE PRICE!!! I have always had flagship phones and I switched from the OnePlus 12 to this phone and I can tell the difference is minimal. I hope this helps you with your decision.

Yeah it's one of the best under $700 phone I've ever used ever. The notification LEDs Circle in the back is just amazing it's a little tricky when you first get used to it but once you start to get used to setting it up it's pretty cool. Battery life is very good I can at least a good 8 hours with it and the cameras are really really sweet. Are they iPhone level not necessarily but they're very very close.. don't let the reviews for you try it for yourself see if this works for you

I love Motorolas but wanted to try something new.. I got multiple different phones in between my last one, and this phone. The nothing phone has been AMAZING. It's everything I've wanted and needed in a phone! The camera quality is amazing, and I do actual photography! Overall, not bad at all. I have told everyone about my nothing phone!
