I tested the Nothing Phone 3 — it's a fabulous phone, just not a flagship

Nothing Phone 3 review on Android Central.

With the Phone 3a and CMF Phone 2 Pro, Nothing proved that it knows how to make terrific budget phones. The brand's unique design philosophy combined with its focus on delivering a great value allowed it to carve out a niche in markets like India, and that's no small feat.

Nothing is now aiming to emulate the same with the Phone 3, a flagship that's designed to go toe-to-toe with the likes of the Vivo X200, OnePlus 13, Xiaomi 15, and the Pixel 9. At the outset, there's plenty to like with the phone; it retains Nothing's design ethos, and you get a new Glyph Matrix pattern at the back with better usability.
