Goodbye, Nothing Phone (3) 👋 — 10 Months of “Innovation”

Yankee_212

Okay. See you when the Phone (4) drops. 👋

True bro the suffering is real for people with phone 3 and for other model users to and I badly hope that they fix the existing issues on all their models but some people will still defend and say buy a new phone if you have this much problem

Lucky and good for you bro. Enjoy the premium…♥️

I am done. Just using a Android phone. That’s it. Nothing. Just fed up with thier so called innovation and simplicity.

Yankee_212 No… no you won’t 😂 #DeluluCult

One less whiner 👍🏻

malutki7 This isn’t just whining. If you had to deal with these bugs too, you’d probably throw this phone away by now. People seriously don’t understand how frustrating it is to put up with these heating issues for six months+ straight. And it’s not just the heat — it causes slower charging and faster battery degradation too.

On top of that, we’ve got the camera performance getting worse, the green screen issue, and plenty of other bugs that are supposedly being “worked on” or “looked into”, but nothing actually seems to happen. Months go by, the same issues are still there, and we’re basically just told to wait.

One year of this is ridiculous.

mupparapu_pramodkumar I recently bought an iPhone 17 Pro Max and exchanged my Nothing Phone (3).

I just want to express an opinion from a purely technological standpoint, therefore setting aside Nothing’s current issues or the N Phone 3 issues.

With an iPhone 17 Pro Max, it’s easy to outperform not only the N Phone 3, but also around 90% of today’s Android phones on the market. 😅

(excluding the “true” flagships each brand offers that can genuinely compete with the iPhone)

Sirius_EU True. But Nothing phone 3 is priced near Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra and the ultra is far better choice than this. And they claimed it to be flagship.

UpawNothing

ca11mejp You are not comparing like with like. A proper comparison would be the S25 with NP3 both categorised as flagship phones and released around the same time. My advice to all who are disappointed with their purchase of the NP3 to purchase a phone from a different brand going forward like the OP has done.

UpawNothing +1 to this. Nobody is forcing you to use a Nothing phone if it doesn’t fit your needs as a user. You’re missing out on, what, a ChatGPT Voice shortcut and auto low lag mode on Nothing audio products? Is that really so big of a deal that you’d need to marry yourself to the brand?

I think the only thing worse is when people suggest that Nothing should focus less on the design and more on the specs, because of course a company whose whole thing is design first & specs second shouldn’t be so concerned about design.

UpawNothing

mupparapu_pramodkumar Good luck with the iPhone, I could buy one too but I won’t, I am one of the very few who love my NP3. I had an iPhone 13 mini once and eventually returned to Android, I found iOS to be quite boring. I also have an Honor Magic V5 and if I was forced to change from my NP3 would buy the Honor Magic 8 Pro.

mupparapu_pramodkumar Finally, you got a good phone, built like a solid brick. It would probably last through World War III. It would outperform the Nothing Phone (3) in almost every aspect, especially optimization, but not in multitasking and sideloading.

Uswer14565 Can you get the same statement from the Nothing team themselves? I’d genuinely like to see it.

People invested their hard-earned money based on the promises and expectations set by Nothing. When those promised features or basic issues remain unresolved for months, users have every right to question the company.

Supporting a company blindly doesn’t make the criticism wrong. If there’s a genuine issue, call it out instead of trying to counter the people raising it. A lot of users have already realised that these aren’t isolated complaints.

And honestly, calling a legitimate post “ridiculous” just because you disagree with it is what’s ridiculous here. If Nothing has a proper explanation, let them come forward and address it themselves.

mupparapu_pramodkumar Can you get the same statement from the Nothing team themselves? I’d genuinely like to see it.

You need a statement from the Nothing team confirming that they are a very small company, smaller than Samsung, Apple, or Google?

Edit: There is the statement you’re looking for:

Carl Today, we’re announcing new funding––USD $200M in our Series C round at a USD $1.3B valuation.

#42158

Apple and Google are “only” several thousands times larger, like 3,386 times for Apple over Nothing:

Samsung sells more S and A series devices in a single day than Nothing their all phones combined in a year. 241.2M phones annually, lately: https://counterpointresearch.com/en/insights/global-smartphone-shipments-grew-2-percent-YoY-in-2025

mupparapu_pramodkumar

grepGander So the answer to “Why can’t Nothing provide a premium experience or fix issues properly?” is… “Because Apple and Samsung are thousands of times bigger”? 😂

Nobody is asking Nothing to sell as many phones as Apple or Samsung. We’re asking you to deliver the experience you promised for the money we already paid.

If company valuation is the excuse for poor software, unresolved bugs and customer issues, then maybe stop marketing the phones as a premium experience.

grepGander

mupparapu_pramodkumar then maybe stop marketing the phones as a premium experience.

They are literally not doing that. Also to not repeat again - everything said by Uswer14565 (👏).

Edit: This is, again literally, the closest the come to marketing the Phone (3) as a premium experience:

They also never said that other budget phones (2a, 3a, 4a…) offer a “premium experience”.

mupparapu_pramodkumar

Uswer14565 So basically, because I bought from a smaller company, I’m supposed to accept every bug, poor software experience and unresolved issue without complaining? 😂

I knew Nothing was a smaller company when I bought the phone. What I didn’t agree to was: “Since we’re small, lower your expectations and accept whatever happens.”

Being a small company can explain why things take longer. It doesn’t make poor quality or unresolved issues acceptable forever.

And telling customers to “just go to another company” isn’t the solution either.

Because if customers leave one by one, eventually there will be Nothing left to defend. 😉

Customers are allowed to expect the product to work properly — regardless of the company’s valuation.
