Nothing Phone 3 shoots for flagship status with flashy new Glyph tricks, but is it really worth the price?
The Nothing Phone 3 introduces the all-new Glyph Matrix module, a bold design shift meant to elevate the brand’s quirky identity. With a flagship price and powerful hardware, it promises a step up from past devices. But while it shines in some areas, like an unexpectedly strong macro camera, a number of tradeoffs keep it from feeling like a true flagship contender. Here’s my full review after more than two weeks of use.
