 Nothing Phone 3 Review 2025: First True Flagship, Blast of Style and Performance

Launched in 2025, the Nothing Phone 3 is the brand's first True Flagship Smartphone. Carl Pei's company has now stepped out of the mid-range and entered the flagship league directly. This phone has Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, new Glyph Matrix design, and strong camera system.

The design of the phone has now become more premium, and it uses a high-quality body made in Chennai (India).

Display and Design

The Nothing Phone 3 has a 6.77-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Its brightness goes up to 3000 nits, making the screen look very clear even in sunlight.

Talking about the design, this time Glyph LED has been replaced by Glyph Matrix – that is, small LED dots that work smartly in a corner of the back panel. The back of the phone has now become even more transparent and textured, which makes its look ultra-premium.

Processor and performance

Nothing Phone 3 has Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, which is the company's first flagship-level processor. Along with this, it gets UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5X RAM, which makes both gaming and multitasking run very smooth.

This phone is fully ready for AI performance. The phone includes AI-feature based UI and camera system which gives you a smart user experience.

Camera performance

The phone has a triple rear camera setup – 50MP primary sensor, 50MP ultra-wide and 50MP 3x periscope zoom camera. There is a 50MP selfie camera on the front.

With this phone, for the first time, Nothing has introduced a periscope zoom camera, allowing you to capture distance shots with great clarity. Video recording gets 4K support and AI cinematic mode.

Battery and charging

The phone gets a big 5150mAh battery that lasts comfortably all day. Both 100W fast wired charging and wireless charging are supported. Along with this, reverse wireless charging feature is also provided in it, so that you can also charge other devices.

Nothing OS and software

The Phone 3 comes with Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, which gives a clean, minimal and smooth UI. The company is promising 5 years of Android updates and 7 years of security patches, which also makes it future-ready.

What's good in this phone?

In Nothing Phone 3 you get flagship processor, great camera system, premium design and long term software support. Along with this, a unique design language like Glyph Matrix makes it different from other phones. The camera setup is especially perfect for photography and video creators.

What is lacking?

The price of the phone is higher than the Nothing Phone 2, due to which some users may consider it expensive. Apart from this, Glyph Matrix will not be able to impress some people who were fans of the old LED strips.

Conclusion

Nothing Phone 3 is for those users who want a powerful and premium smartphone with a unique design. This phone is an all-rounder package that is a great combination of design, performance and long term support.
