A top-end flagship smartphone featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 would be a priority for those wanting to a daily drive a premium handset, but not everyone wants to or can invest a decent chunk of change due to other obligations. For those sitting on a tight budget and still want exceptional specifications, the Nothing Phone (3) will satisfy the requirements of the majority of buyers thanks to its Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. Best of all, Amazon has slashed 20 percent from the base model, meaning that you can grab both the White and Black finishes from the online retailer for only $639.
With the prices of smartphones expected to rise considerably thanks to the DRAM crisis, the Nothing Phone (3) offers a capable assortment of internals, and, at the right price
Data from Counterpoint Research estimates that the Bill of Materials (BoM) will rise by up to 25 percent thanks to the memory crisis, with manufacturers rumored to bring back 4GB RAM configurations as they look to reduce specifications or sacrifice their margins. In short, Android handsets are going to get pricey, but if you’re getting a 20 percent discount on something like the Nothing Phone (3), you should seriously consider it, primarily when, in the near future, this $639 figure will shoot up to $800 in a couple of weeks.
Coming to the specifications, the Phone (3) sets itself apart from the rest of the pack thanks to its unique Glyph Interface that houses 489 LEDs. With this design, you can customize notifications or all sorts, ranging from messages, emails, and calls, and with a bevy of lighting effects right at your fingertips, you will definitely become the center of attention. The display is a 6.67-inch LTPS OLED panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a 960Hz PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to reduce eye strain, along with a crisp 2,800 x 1,260 resolution.
The Phone (3) will also receive up to five major Android updates, and if you haven’t upgraded to Android 16 when you grab yours, do so immediately. As for the camera, there’s a 50MP on the front side, and three individual 50MP units at the back that support wide-angle, ultrawide-angle, and a telephoto lens to deliver one of the most versatile experiences as far as smartphone photography and videography go.
The battery is a decent 5,150mAh cell that supports both wired and wireless charging and can last for the entire day. For a device that sits just a tier below the flagship category, Nothing Phone (3) offers a great combination of specifications, with its $639 price just at the right range to make you feel that you purchased something premium, while also not making you feel that you overpaid.
