The Nothing Phone (3) and Nothing Headphone (1) have officially launched globally, marking the company’s latest attempt to stir up the saturated tech market.
Carl Pei’s brand continues to focus on bold design, and this time, it’s betting big on style and simplicity-but is that enough?
The Nothing Phone (3) keeps the transparent aesthetic alive and adds refined touches to the glyph interface. Available in 12/256GB and 16/512GB configurations, the pricing starts at $800 in the US and similar figures across the UK and Europe. Interestingly, India once again gets special treatment-its model comes with a beefier 5,500mAh battery, compared to the 5,150mAh unit in the global version, along with Flipkart exclusivity and regional pricing perks.
That said, tech enthusiasts are raising eyebrows over the specs. For $800, you’re looking at an optical fingerprint scanner, a non-LTPO display, and aging sensors. Critics argue it’s more fashion than function, especially when compared to alternatives like the OnePlus 13, which offers better hardware and value at a lower price.
The Nothing Headphone (1), priced at $300, is the brand’s first over-ear headphone. Reviews are still pending, but first impressions highlight premium build quality and a design-first philosophy. Availability mirrors that of the phone, with Flipkart handling India’s sales exclusively and Amazon/Nothing’s site covering other major regions.
While Nothing’s aesthetic-driven approach has carved a niche, the market is less forgiving when the specs don’t match the style. Whether this sleek duo turns heads or just turns people away remains to be seen. More detailed reviews are incoming, but first impressions paint a mixed picture of style over substance.
