Instant fan and no longer with Samsung
I’ve only had it one day but I’m an instant fan! Camera quality does everything I need to do, the sound quality is AMAZING. I work in a warehouse, even on the low sounds, I can hear the difference. The Nothing Ears will probably stand on business. I have Metro, so it’s compatibility is great. Speed of everything, super great. Storage is nice and so far, no scratches. It comes with it’s on case. I do wish it had the dust proof lid. Glad I got it on a sale, but I feel it’s worth the asking price otherwise. The battery life makes a huge difference, coming from the 22S ultra. I notice a lot of differences. Highly recommend.

Fun, Practical, Effective Phone
Honestly, this phone is really cool and great.To start off, this phone basically synched up everything from my previous phone via Google, setup was surprisingly simple. It’s design is unique, and practical too.It’s performance is nothing to be bummed about, despite not having the latest chip it still runs like a dream. It’s OS is also very customizable, and the Glyph Matrix is a REALLY fun mechanic that can also be customizedThis phone, although it can be too gimmicky for some, is really fun and unique at what it does.Only real complaint is that finding a good case for it is complicated due to its special design

A great phone if u can get it on sale!
Almost everything about this phone is amazing. There’s honestly only two cons I have with this phone the first one being the price. If u can get it at a discount the dollar to value ratio is much better. I got mine at a decent discount so I’m happy with my purchase but if I was to buy this phone at retail price I think there are phones with better specs for what you pay. However this phone is more than just the specs (although they are pretty good) on paper. I came from a pixel 9 pro xl where specs aren’t everything and it was my favorite phone I’ve ever used up until this point. (I’m a pixel guy so there’s bias) I switch phones yearly though and any phone brand sold here in the US I’ve probably used at some point. Now after using the Nothing phone (3) this might just be my favorite ever. The software is just so clean. It takes great pictures especially with the recent software updates. It really feels unique and fun and is a nice change from my pixel or iphone without being too unfamiliar. The only other con I have is that it’s extremely difficult to find good/high quality accessories like phone cases and screen protectors. But if u can get this phone at a good price and find a good case this phone is great and better than many YouTube reviews might suggest.

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.

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.

Locked phone
I purchased this phone intending to switch over my current eSIM- sadly found out that I was somehow sold a locked phone despite it being listed as unlocked. Will be returning and *possibly repurchasing due to a promise of being re-sent a guaranteed unlocked phone. I will update this review upon receiving the correctly listed item

Solid Device
I’ll plan to come back in a few months with a more complete review. The device arrived in flawless condition, just as expected. The unique design really stands out in person, and the Glyph Matrix is a fun touch. Coming from a OnePlus Open, performance feels just as fast and responsive.That said, the camera lacks stability and overall image quality. I’m hoping LineageOS adds support soon so we can properly de-Google the experience.

Great phone, super powerful, amazing price
The phone specs are great, and it’s got a lot of power behind it. All the cameras are good, (especially the 50mp selfie). Not a personal fan of the Android fork they have, but I also run a Pixel 10 pro fold alongside this so im used to a more clean OS, (just a personal preference). For the price, you just cant beat what you’re getting out of the hardware from this phone, (regardless of weather or not you like its appearance). The Glyph thing is just a silly trinket gimmick they threw in there that serves little to no purpose and you’ll probably get bored with it after a couple minutes and never really use it. If you can still get this on the holiday deal discount I would really recommend it, but even if you don’t, this is a great deal with all the power it’s packing under the hood, and can hold its own with any high end phone out there.

Great phone, would recommend
Love the phone. The metal sides and glass back feel great. The glyph matrix seems gimmicky, but I actually enjoy it and use it daily. I use the essential space often too. The sound quality is decent, not as good as iPhone (what I switched from) but it does the job. The earpiece is a little quiet but I have earbuds with me most of the time. I love this phone a lot and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a unique conversation starter of a phone with clean software. The camera is mostly good, I don’t really have any issues with it except the HDR creates blurred subjects if they’re moving in photos, but I didn’t buy the phone for the cameras. People say the chipset is not flagship but I’ve never noticed any hiccups (until I put my animation speed at .5x, and I saw a couple hiccups but that’s a developer option) and now the phone often goes for much cheaper than it’s $800 starting price.My 4 star review is because I ordered the phone in mint condition. It came with scratches on the metal sides, a little scratch on the camera (the phone often tells me there’s dirt on my lens but it’s permanent scratch from a previous user), and no pre-installed screen protector. It now goes for way cheaper than the used-mint condition I bought it for, so it’s a little disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend trusting the used ones because it was not in mint condition as advertised. Unless you don’t really care about it.

Just buy it already stop doubting yourself you’re gonna like it
I bought this phone to support my good friend Carl. He owns this company and he’s a great guy. He’s always been very kind to me, offering to help with yard work, organize my pantry, or even rub my back when I’m in pain. Although he has offered, he’s never actually done any of those things. He once told me this saying: never do something when you can do nothing, and that really stuck with me. It’s for that reason I decided to nothing is better than something, and I’m so happy I made that choice.On a side note, while none of the above is true, what is true is that this is an excellent phone by an excellent company. Hallelujah and amen brother sister Harry.Okay I’m done now.
