Some phones arrive quietly, even when they’re great. Others ride months of anticipation — take Samsung’s Galaxy S series or Apple’s iPhones. Then there are phones that get validation only after release, like Huawei’s recent flagships. But rarely do we see a phone stir buzz a year before it even exists. Believe it or not, that’s exactly what happened with the Nothing Phone (3). Which is now up for pre-booking in Nepal as well. So let's learn more about everything the Nothing Phone (3) brings to the table, alongside its official price in Nepal and pre-booking offers.
Nothing Phone (3) Overview
So this is the first time in years a smartphone has been teased, speculated, and patiently waited on for so long. And to be fair, when most brands are pushing out updates every 6–8 months, things can get... repetitive. The differences between iterations feel minimal.
People lose interest. But Nothing? Somehow, they’ve kept the curiosity going — not everywhere, but within a small corner of the tech world, that niche space where phones *actually* look different.
Some...design changes
The design had already leaked weeks before launch. And, well, reactions online were anything but quiet. On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), some users called it "...a total overkill in the name of experimentation, I will gladly rather take Samsung's boring design upgrades " while others used terms like "uninspired" or even "hideous" to describe the look.
Of course, others defended the evolution. But either way, the design sparked strong, polarizing takes. Yeah, but to say the least, the camera placement does appear quite weird, and perhaps it's quite understandable that it might not be very appealing to many.
Regardless, you get glass in the back, an aluminum frame, and a major update, that is the Glyph Matrix — a smaller, monochrome version of the signature Nothing Phone glyph interface, now composed of 489 individual LEDs. But there’s a new IP68 rating, which replaces the earlier IP54.
That means it’s now dust-tight, not just resistant. Small change, but a step up. Oh, and there's eSIM support now. So one nano SIM plus eSIM, with any two usable at a time.
Display
The display is still 6.67 inches, but it now uses a 120Hz AMOLED Flexible LTPS panel instead of just LTPO OLED. Resolution gets bumped to 2800 x 1260 pixels, brightness now peaks at 4500 nits and pixel density rises to 460ppi. It’s flat, not curved, like previous Nothing phones and supports HDR content. Overall, the screen now hits a better balance between sharpness and refresh rate.
Performance
It was long expected that if Nothing's "first-ever flagship" would perhaps get a magnum upgrade, like with a Snapdragon 8 Elite or even something like Snapdragon 8 Gen 3?
Alas, Nothing Phone (3) is powered by Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, although a massive step up from the 8+ Gen 1 on the Phone (2). The processor here is based on a 4nm process and features Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720 cores. In addition, it’s paired with the new Adreno 825 GPU, which nonetheless should offer better graphics output overall.
On top of that, the phone ships with Android 15 and Nothing OS 3.5, with a promise of 5 major Android upgrades. That’s more than what Nothing offered before.
Cameras
Following the launch of the Phone (3a), it should have been obvious that this flagship phone should get a triple camera. The camera setup on the Phone (3) makes a big leap. It now includes a triple 50MP system on the back. The main sensor is the OV50H, offering OIS, a 1/1.3” sensor size, and a wide f/1.68 aperture.
Next, there’s a 50MP periscope lens with 3x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom, something completely missing from the previous generation. The third camera is a 50MP ultrawide, with EIS and support for Staggered HDR.
Together, the setup covers wide, zoom, and ultra-wide use cases in a balanced way. On the front, there’s now a 50MP selfie camera, up from 32MP last year. It supports EIS, Staggered HDR, and records up to 4K at 60fps.

Better battery, much faster charging
The battery has been upgraded to a 5150mAh cell, which is larger than average in this range. It supports 65W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, 7.5W reverse wired, and 5W reverse wireless charging.
Nothing no longer includes a charger in the box, but you do get a 5A charging cable, which supports full-speed wired charging if used with a compatible adapter. All things considered, battery life should stretch longer than the previous model, especially given the more efficient Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset.
Connectivity
In terms of connectivity, the Nothing Phone (3) covers all major bands and features. It supports dual 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.3. Navigation support includes dual-band GPS (L1+L5), NavIC, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, and QZSS. It also has USB Type-C, but skips the headphone jack — same as last year. Sensors include an in-display fingerprint scanner, gyroscope, e-compass, ambient light sensor, proximity, and even a flicker sensor.
