Overview

  • A Nothing spokesperson told Bloomberg there are no plans to reduce the Phone 3’s $799 price tag, reinforcing its positioning as the company’s first true flagship.
  • The company confirmed that India—its largest market—is not the core focus for the Phone 3, highlighting a selective regional strategy that has unsettled some fans.
  • Reviewers continue to praise the transparent chassis and the new Glyph Matrix LED interface alongside the refined Nothing OS 3.5 skin.
  • Critics point out that the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset underdelivers compared with flagship silicon and that the triple 50 MP camera system can produce muted or grainy images.
