Amazon just marked down the Nothing Phone 3 to $678.99, its lowest price yet, according to price trackers. That’s about $120 off the usual $799 tag for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage base model.
It’s the company’s most ambitious phone to date, moving confidently into flagship territory while keeping intact its trademark minimalist aesthetic. This PCMag review calls it “the company’s best yet,” awarding it an “excellent” rating for performance, design, and camera improvements.
The Phone 3 keeps Nothing’s signature transparent back, now redesigned with a Glyph Matrix—a ring of 489 micro-LEDs that light up for notifications, timers, and even playful “Glyph Toys” like a mini clock or a spin-the-bottle game. It’s a fun detail, though one you’ll probably either love or switch off entirely. The phone feels sturdy, built from 100% recycled aluminum and shielded by Gorilla Glass 7i, with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. Its 6.67-inch AMOLED display is sharp and bright, with a 2,800 x 1,260 resolution and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate that keeps scrolling and animations smooth.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip powers through everything from multitasking to heavy games like Genshin Impact without a hitch. The 5,150mAh battery lasted about 15 hours in PCMag’s rundown test and supports 65W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and reverse charging for smaller devices.
What do you think so far?
Camera performance is another step forward for Nothing. The triple 50MP setup covers wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto ranges, producing images with crisp detail and accurate colors. The software side feels clean, too—Nothing OS 3.5, layered on Android 15, keeps things simple without unnecessary clutter. It’s not loaded with AI features like some rivals, but it gets the basics right, offering five years of Android updates and seven years of security patches (which is reassuring longevity).
The only major drawbacks are the lack of mmWave 5G support and the still-limited AI integration, which might bother future-focused users. But overall, the Nothing Phone 3 manages to feel refreshing in a market where everything looks the same.
