Hey guys,
I just got my hands on the Nothing Phone (3).. my very first Nothing device! Super excited to share my first look experience, especially on this bold and daring design choice from Nothing..

Before we dive in, here’s a quick unboxing video of the Nothing Phone 3.

I won’t bore you with the usual box and packaging details.. you already know the drill and what comes inside

If you say this phone’s design is UGLY, then you’re absolutely RIGHT.. because that’s YOUR opinion. And as they say, BEAUTY is in the eye of the BEHOLDER."
But Seriously.. at first glance, the Phone (3) might not give you that instant ‘love at first sight’ vibe… but wait until you actually hold it. The second I lifted it out of the box, I caught myself falling for the design.. just like that😍

What I particularly like is how the phone feels truly premium in hand without a case. I mean, that’s how it’s supposed to be, right?😁
Thing is.. I was even more eager to check out every tiny hidden details in the design. I don’t know about you guys, but to me, this is a truly beautiful masterpiece


The top-left camera misalignment with the bottom, which a lot of people are talking about, actually feels really cool and intentional to me. If it were perfectly aligned, it would’ve just been another boring camera setup on this design


Since I haven’t used any previous Nothing phones, I’ve never experienced the Glyph lights. But I really wish Nothing had added them to the Phone (3) alongside the Glyph Matrix… it would’ve been even more amazing. After all, the Glyph lights have been a signature design element since the Nothing Phone (1) series.
Speaking of the Glyph Matrix… I’d say it’s about 60% useful out of a 100 percent. I’ll explain why in my next post, along with a full review.. I just need a little more time to play around with this bad boy.😎
I won’t praise the design too much, but honestly, it has surpassed my expectations compared to the bad reviews I’ve seen online.
But just to note, all of this is purely my personal opinion and interpretation.. I don’t know what works for you.
In conclusion, I’m just happy to see a brand making bold decisions and shaking up the smartphone industry with some crazy design ideas.
Make Tech Fun Again,
