Nothing Phone 3 – An Overpriced Creation?

Is the Nothing Phone 3 Worth Its Price Tag?

Let’s get straight to it—Nothing Phone 3 just launched, and while it looks stunning, the ₹79,999 price tag (MRP ₹84,999) is hard to digest. The big question is: Are we paying for real innovation, or just a designer name with flashing lights?

What’s New in the Nothing Phone 3?

So, what exactly do you get for nearly ₹80K? Let’s break it down:

• Upgraded Glyph Interface – Now even more customizable, with extra functions tied to apps.
• Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Chipset – Powerful, but not on par with true flagship processors.
• 6.7” LTPO AMOLED Display – Sharp visuals with adaptive refresh rate.
• Triple 50MP Camera Setup – Great on paper, real-world results still mixed.

Sounds premium, right? But is it ₹80,000 premium?

How Does It Stack Up Against the Competition?

Here’s where things get interesting. For the same price, or less, you can get:

• Samsung Galaxy S24 – Flagship processor, proven camera, IP68 rating.
• iPhone 15 – Apple ecosystem, consistent updates, better brand value.
• OnePlus 12 – Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, better battery, faster charging.
• ASUS ROG Phone 8 – If gaming is your priority, it smashes the Nothing Phone 3.

In this company, the Nothing Phone 3 feels more like an upper-midrange phone in a flagship’s clothing.

Is the Glyph Interface a Game-Changer or Just Gimmick 3.0?

Look, the Glyph interface is fun. It glows, reacts to ringtones, can show timers or delivery progress bars—but how useful is it?

Unless you’re face-down on your desk all day, you probably won’t even notice it half the time.

Cool? Yes.
Essential? Not really.
₹80K-worthy? You decide.

Any Dealbreakers You Should Know About?

Some key things that are missing despite the price:

• Still no IP68 waterproofing
• No wireless charging improvements
• No major jump in battery tech – Same 4700mAh as Nothing Phone 2
• Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 – Slightly below the Gen 3 flagships

And here’s the kicker—Nothing Phone 2 launched at almost half this price. So unless you’re a die-hard fan of the brand or the transparent design, the leap in price feels… a bit much.

Should You Buy the Nothing Phone 3?

Here’s a quick decision guide:

Buy it if:

• You’re obsessed with minimalism and transparency (literally).
• You value design over specs.
• You love the Nothing ecosystem and want to stay in it.

Skip it if:

• You want flagship-level power, cameras, and long-term software support.
• You expect real innovation for the money.
• You’re looking for bang-for-buck—this phone isn’t it.

So… Is the Nothing Phone 3 Overpriced?

Let’s not sugarcoat it—yes, it feels overpriced.

For ₹79,999, expectations are sky-high. You want performance, premium features, waterproofing, and a wow camera. The Nothing Phone 3 is sleek and bold, but not competitive enough for that price bracket.

It’s a style icon, sure. But unless you really care about design and uniqueness, better options are out there.

What Do You Think About the Nothing Phone 3?

Has Nothing nailed it this time, or is the Phone 3 just a flashy letdown with a premium price?

Would you seriously shell out ₹79,999 for it?
Or do you think there are better, more practical choices out there for that kind of money?
