Is it any good?
The Phone (3) is the most expensive phone Nothing sells in India, at ₹79,999 for 12GB + 256GB, and the only one with IP68, wireless charging and eSIM. It is for buyers who want Nothing's design and software without settling for mid-range parts.
On paper the money goes where it should. All four cameras are 50MP: the main camera, a periscope with 3x optical zoom, the ultrawide and the selfie camera. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is the fastest chip in the range, the 5,500 mAh battery charges at 65W, or at 15W without a cable, and Nothing promises 5 OS updates against 3 on its cheaper phones. Wi-Fi 7 is here too.
The catch is the gap to the ₹49,999 Phone (4a) Pro, which also has a stabilised 50MP periscope: the Phone (3) asks ₹30,000 more, and the 16GB + 512GB model adds another ₹10,000. It is also heavy at 218 g. If you want IP68 and wireless charging, this is the only Nothing that has them; if not, the Pro covers most of it.
