Nothing Phone 3 has officially launched, and with a starting price of ₹63,000, it enters the premium smartphone race with a bold design, clean software, and signature Glyph interface. But is it really worth the price tag? Here’s a quick breakdown of the top 5 reasons to consider — or avoid — the Nothing Phone 3 before you buy.
1. BUY: Transparent Design + Glyph Interface 2.0
The Nothing Phone 3 continues the brand’s iconic transparent design, now with improved durability and a more customizable Glyph Interface 2.0. The LED glyphs not only look futuristic but now support app-specific notifications, charging progress indicators, and LED-based volume feedback. If you’re into unique, conversation-starting hardware, this is a huge plus.
2. BUY: Clean OS Experience with AI Integration
Running on Nothing OS 3.0, based on Android 15, the phone offers a bloat-free, fast UI with minimalist aesthetics and Pixel-like smoothness. New this time is built-in AI features like voice summarization, smart reply, and real-time screen translation — all without compromising privacy.
3. BUY: Flagship-Level Performance
Powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, along with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB UFS 4.0 storage, the Nothing Phone 3 handles gaming, 4K recording, and multitasking effortlessly. Benchmarks place it close to top-tier Android flagships, making it great for power users.
4. SKIP: Camera Still Lags Behind the Best
Despite the improvements, the dual rear camera setup (50MP main + 50MP ultra-wide) struggles to compete with the likes of Samsung’s S23 or Google Pixel 8 in low light and dynamic range. The 32MP selfie camera is decent, but camera lovers may want more at this price point.
5. SKIP: Premium Price, Not So Premium Extras
At ₹63,000, the Nothing Phone 3 does not include a charger in the box, lacks IP68 waterproofing (only IP54), and wireless charging remains limited to 15W. There’s no periscope zoom or LTPO adaptive refresh either, which competitors offer in the same segment.
Conclusion: The Nothing Phone 3 is a bold, stylish, and clean Android phone that stands out — especially for those who value design, UI simplicity, and performance. However, if you’re spending ₹63K expecting top-tier cameras and flagship extras, you might want to explore other options. In short, it’s great for tech minimalists and creators, but not for hardcore camera geeks or feature chasers.
