Nothing Phone 3 finally launched on July 1, 2025, with a lot of hype. This time Nothing has taken the bold decision to launch its phone as a flagship. Nothing Phone 3 pricing starts at Rs. 79,000 ($799), and it’s a direct competitor to Apple’s iPhone 16 and Samsung’s Galaxy S25.
Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 for $799 is a big disappointment for Nothing fans. The OnePlus 13 and Samsung Galaxy S25 with Snapdragon 8 Elite offer more performance. Nothing Phone 3 also comes with the USB 2.0 version, which means a lower transfer rate and a lack of support for USB to HDMI display out.
