Conclusion and Cons
Nothing Phone (3) is an overall good phone, but it’s not worth ₹90,000 or even ₹80,000 because there are several cons at this price. The cons include: a USB 2.0 port, an optical in-display fingerprint scanner instead of ultrasonic, no vapor cooling chamber, absence of autofocus on the Ultrawide camera, an underwhelming Telephoto camera, Corning Gorilla Glass 7i, no charger in-box and a downgraded display with LTPS panel instead of the LTPO on the Phone (2). It also has a midrange 8s Gen 4 processor for a flagship smartphone of 2025.
While these are not bad for a smartphone, they are bad and not worth the price of ₹80,000. Although the design is mostly being disliked, let’s leave that to personal preference.
