Love the phone
My first Nothing phone. Switched from Samsung (I know, crazy). I wasn’t using the Samsung to it’s full potential and this phone checked off the boxes I cared about. It’s fast, small, light weight compared to my old phone. The battery gets me through an entire work day of listening to music/watching something.I love the design. The cameras are going to be hit or miss for some, but I personally like the camera placement. Speaker is good. The OS is fantastic. I was able to get rid of my custom launcher since this phone comes built in with widgets and customization. Very minimal bloatware on here, which was a huge selling point for me. All in all, would buy again.

A solid 4.5 stars
I really want to give this phone 5 stars. It’s so close to perfect for me. I know the specs aren’t the very best, but I love just about everything about it. There’s only 1 reason I can’t give it 5 stars so far. Maybe that will be fixed with software updates. I’ll update my review if so.Ok, so, first of all, the main selling point with this phone is Nothing OS. I’m coming from Pixel, which up until now was my favorite Phone OS. The simplicity yet customizability of Nothing OS is really nice, but overall it still feels a lot like a Pixel. The Nothing Widgets are really nice and overall thoughtful and make the experience just a little bit nicer than Pixel in day to day use for me.I am also someone who really enjoys music, and I appreciate that this is something Nothing focuses on. It supports aptX and Spatial Audio, sounding really nice with my both my earbuds and my bluetooth Edifier speakers.From the hand feel, I know this is subjective, but the standard 6.3″ Pixels are a little too small for my hands. The 6.8 Pro XLs feel too tall. The Nothing Phone 3 is the perfect size for me. It’s almost as wide as the Pro XL, but not as tall, making it still pretty easy to hold in one hand. I also really like the haptics. It’s got very satisfying feedback on everything.The rest of the hardware is fine. I liked the old Nothing designs better with the Glyph lights, and wish they hadn’t spend money and R&D on the Glyph Matrix, but functionally I probably never would use either, other than as a fill light/flash light, which is the only thing I’ve found useful for the Glyph Matrix so far. That being said, the build quality overall is really solid.Battery life is good so far. I’ve been charging it to 80% overnight and using about 4-5 hours of screen time a day and still having about 20% battery left at the end of the day. I imagine if I really pushed it I would probably want to have charged it to 100%, but for my use, this is working great.The cameras are all good hardware, though the end result isn’t always as good as on Pixels. I appreciate Nothing’s dedication to software updates here. Since getting the phone I’ve gotten 2 updates, and each one made improvements to the cameras. I have taken some really nice photos overall, though I do need to fiddle with the settings just a bit more sometimes to get the shot I want now. This is honestly OK by me as one gripe I had with my old Pixel was even after I would manually adjust the white balance to get the colors right, my Pixel would post process the image, throwing the colors off of what I had carefully chosen. I also really love the Nothing Presets, which are settings that you can select (or create for yourself) to automatically apply while taking photos. Once again they’re very thoughtful in their approach and make the photography experience much more fun.Now to the part where I have to knock off a star. When I first got the phone, the very first call I made I heard some weird static and glitching. I switched to bluetooth earbuds and it went away. I tested it again with another call and the same thing happened. Then I also noticed that there was a bit of a hissing sound from the top speaker/ear piece while playing music. I sent the phone back and ordered a replacement. By the time the replacement arrived I saw a new software update had appeared that addressed “noise on some phone calls”. That update fixed the call issues overall, but the earpiece/top speaker still has that hissing sound with music a bit. I’ve played the same music on my Nothing Phone 3 and my Pixel 7 side by side, and the Pixel 7 has a warmer, richer sound. Now, I understand they’re both phone speakers. They aren’t going to sound amazing. But, like I stated earlier, music is important to me, and Nothing, who also makes earbuds and headphones and has a focus on audio should be better here. Part of my choice in Nothing was that focus. I don’t use the phone speakers often, but it’s disappointing that when I do, it’s tinnier and just not as good as a 3 year old phone. There’s a chance that a software update can fix this, like it fixed the call quality issue, so I’m holding out hope there. But honestly, like I said, it’s a small issue for something I rarely use, so I honestly wouldn’t even knock off a full star for it if I could.Other thoughts:I like what Nothing is trying to do to be unique as a company. The design itself is a bit polarizing, but it looks better in person, and, you can cover it up for the most part with a case if you really don’t like it. I do like it. It took a little time to grow on me, but I appreciate the unique look. I know it’s hard to break into the market here in the US with how carriers give discounts for signing with them, but I really hope Nothing can pull it off, because they’ve done some really nice things with this phone.Since it’s just breaking into the market, there’s not a lot of cases for it available. I appreciate that they included a basic case in the box along with a pre-applied screen protector. I was able to find a case I like with a magnetic ring that works with magsafe accessories, but, I really like matte screen protectors, and to get one of those I had to order one elsewhere and pay for international shipping.

Fun and great phone
This phone is incredible. UX is great, battery life is better than most and it is just different, which makes it fun to use! No issues with performance at all. Great value for the money!

Great phone !
I don’t know why people trash talk this phone. I think its great.Display is crisp and BRIGHT. Camera’s are amazing.Glyph matrix is a conversation piece and a eye catcher.OS is clean no bloatware. I find myself liking this phone more and more.

Was nervous about buying this from Amazon. It’s always a good idea to record yourself unboxing expensive items from amazing incase the item isn’t what you ordered or it’s damaged so you can return it easily. However this came just fine.The phone is fantastic. Upgraded from iPhone 13pro. I will never go back to iPhone after this. I wish I done it earlier. The OS is unique very easy to personalise. It’s buttery smooth without any stuttering as you swipe and navigate through apps. Good weight and decent size screen. Comes preinstalled with a screen protector. Comes with a charging lead and a case in the box. Unheard of these days.The design really stands out. It has a cyberpunk style look to it which is really interesting after years of buying iPhones that all look the same.Indidnt bother with any amazon style insurance I opted for insurance from a dedicated firm which cost around £90 a year. Covers everything.Because it’s brand new the phone will have full and regular updates for the next 5 years so all in all I highly recommend this phone. Certainly worth the money.

Telefono che vale veramente questo prezzo! La batteria molto resistente, il telefono è molto funzionale e l’estetica (soprattutto dietro) è a dir poco meravigliosa. L’organizzazione è meravigliosa tanto che puoi scegliere quali app avere come icona. La chicca è la fotocamera. Basta andare a curiosare le varie opzioni e le foto vengono spettacolari. Consiglio vivamente questo telefono! LA SVOLTA!!
