Nothing Phone 3 has gone on sale in India. The two devices were unveiled last week and are now available to buy on Flipkart, Flipkart Minutes, Vijay Sales, Croma, and other leading retail stores in India. The price of the smartphone starts at a whopping Rs. 79,999.  Now that the sale has commenced, here’s a definitive guide to help you understand whether it is a good phone for its price tag.

Nothing Phone 3 pricing and availability details in India

As mentioned, the Nothing Phone 3 is priced in India at Rs. 79,999 for the 12GB RAM option and the 16GB RAM option is priced at Rs. 89,999. The phone is up for grabs in two colour options – black and white. If you pre-ordered the Nothing Phone 3, then the company was bundling a free Nothing Ear (a) alongside. However, that offer no longer exists.

Even then, Flipkart has listed a slew of bank discounts on its site. There’s a Rs. 5,000 off on HDFC, ICICI, and IDFC Bank card holders. A slew of no-cost EMI options are also listed.

Nothing Phone 3 design

The biggest selling point of the Nothing Phone 3, apart from its flagship-level specifications, is its design. The unique back panel design with the Glyph Matrix is impressive. The dedicated Glyph button allows users to switch between utilities, ambient interactions, and games. The design is surely impressive and is should be a big draw, if looking to buy a new smartphone.

Nothing Phone 3 cameras
The other big highlight of the Nothing Phone 3 are the three 50-megapixel cameras at the back and a 50-megapixel camera up front. At the back, there is a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS, 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 50-megapixel periscope lens. The phone has an action mode to take blur-free ultra XDR photos. The camera specifications are truly flagship-level and should procure amazing photos. Initial reviews also laud the camera setup on the Nothing Phone 3.

Nothing Phone 3 specifications
The processor on the Nothing Phone 3 is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, a SoC that is flagship-level and is likely to be integrated in the Pixel and the Samsung Galaxy flagship lineups as well. Other specifications include a 5,500mAh battery, an iP68 dust and water resistance, Corning Gorilla Glass protection, and Essential Space 2.0. The Nothing OS 3.5 UI that is powered by Android 15 is said to be sleek, intuitive and heavily customizable. The storage options are listed to be at 256GB and 512GB.  

Considering all of these parameters, the Nothing Phone 3 stands tall with all of the other flagships out there from Samsung and Google, and is a great option to consider. Nonetheless, the OnePlus 13 gives it strong competition at slightly compromised specifications (it has a bigger battery, though) and a lower price point.
