Nothing Phone 3 vs iPhone 16 vs Galaxy S25 specs: Nothing, on Tuesday, July 1, launched the Phone (3), its first-ever flagship phone. The latest from the London-based phone comes with a transparent back panel and has a rather unique design, which is controversial at best.
With the Phone (3), Nothing has ditched its iconic Glyph interface and replaced it with Glyph Matrix, a programmable mini-LED screen that can show time, icons and inform you of calls and notifications. In terms of design, the Nothing Phone (3) stands out from the likes of the Apple iPhone 16 and the Samsung Galaxy S25, both of which have a minimal-looking industrial design that looks and feels premium.
With a starting price of Rs 79,999, the Nothing Phone (3) positions itself in the hyper-competitive flagship smartphone segment, which is dominated by the likes of Apple and Samsung. If you are thinking of buying the Nothing Phone (3), here’s how it stacks against the Apple iPhone 16 (review) and the Samsung Galaxy S25 (review).
