Nothing Phone (3) Pre-Booking Now Open in Nepal with Exciting Offers!

There were rumours… anticipation… There was much talk about the Nothing Phone (3). Not just last week, or last month — the talk has been there for literal years. After all the hype, Nothing Phone (3) is finally a reality!

What is the Price of Nothing Phone (3) in Nepal?

The Nothing Phone (3) is now available for pre-booking in Nepal. The early bird offer goes on till 14 July 2025, and taking advantage of this offer saves you up to Rs. 19,000 in cash while the CMF Buds Pro 2, worth Rs. 9,499, is bundled in for FREE! This will be applicable for the first 100 customers only!

Customers can opt for 0% EMI as well, wherein they can get 60% of the phone’s amount financed, all with just their citizenship.

Talking about the pricing, Nothing Phone (3) costs $799 in the US of A while our neighbours down south will be paying INR 79,999 for the 12/256GB of the phone. When we convert those numbers, it comes in at around Rs. 1,10,000, and Rs. 1,27,998, respectively.

Given the discrepancy between the two prices, it was hard for us to tell where the price of Nothing Phone (3) would lean. But Nothing Nepal was like — “Hmmn. Why not both?”

So, the maximum retail price for the Nothing Phone (3) in Nepal is Rs. 1,27,998, and Rs. 1,09,999 with pre-booking offers in place for the 12/256GB variant.

See what I mean? It’s the exact same numbers! Meanwhile, the 16/512GB will cost a maximum of Rs. 1,43,998 and Rs. 1,24,999 as a part of the offer!

GGWP on pricing, Nothing Nepal! Cheers!

As I said earlier, the Nothing Phone (3) was highly anticipated. And now that the product has dropped, there have been mixed opinions about it. Polarising as always, this company.

So, what’s going on with the Nothing Phone (3)? Did Nothing deliver here? Or was nothing delivered? Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of Nothing Phone (3) in this article.

Nothing Phone (3) Overview

Design

*exhales* Alright! Nothing has always been a design-focused brand, and their products have always been polarising. When they first did a phone, its design turned heads. It’s the same this time as well — the design is polarising for sure. But I don’t think it will grow into people the same way it did previously.

When I first looked at the phone, I immediately thought it looked like a mix between Google’s Project Ara and ROG Phone 9 Pro. If you know both those phones, then I think you’d agree too.

The phone has a grid-like finish on the back, which looks a bit tacky. While the phone looks almost prototype or concept device-like, the build quality is proper. The chassis is made of aluminium, the back panel is layered with Gorilla Glass Victus, and it is now IP68-rated. It ships in classic colours, i.e. black and white.

Now here is the headline:

R.I.P. Glyph Interface

Well, not really. Nothing did bury the LED strips that had become the company’s signature in favour of the new “Glyph Matrix”. They continue to use the term “Glyph Interface”, so it’s more like they updated the term rather than killed it. (So does this count as false marketing?)

Jokes aside, what is this Glyph Matrix? It is a combined unit of 489 micro-LEDs that serve various functions. It works as a clock, a camera timer, a torch, a notification indicator, and so on. Heck, you can even play games — dubbed “Glyph Toys”, like “Spin the Bottle” and “Rock, Paper, Scissors”.

It even works as a mirror, that you can use to take rear camera selfies or just for funsies. It is basically a low-resolution black-and-white secondary screen.

There is also a “Glyph Button” that lets you cycle through various functions or toy around with the Glyph Matrix. Nothing is even allowing third-party developers to explore usage for this Glyph Matrix of theirs.

Remember, I called this phone a cross between Project Ara and ROG Phone 9 Pro? This is also where the ROG part of the comparison comes in, because the Asus phone also had the mini-LED animation gimmick going on. They called it “AniMe Vision”, and you could play games on it too! Their laptops also have a similar thing labelled “Anime Matrix”.

The point is that the signature Glyph Lights are gone, and the Glyph Matrix takes the centre stage, which isn’t anything unseen before.

Snapdragon 8s Gen 4

Now this is where the company is getting, more or less grilled for. The Nothing Phone (3) was supposedly the company’s “First True Flagship”. This statement raised hopes among a lot of fans, who expected nothing less than the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

However, Nothing opted for the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 instead. If you aren’t familiar, the “s” in Qualcomm’s catalogue refers to an underpowered version of a certain chip. Thus, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 — despite being a powerful chipset — is no flagship.

Nothing probably could have saved itself from all this scrutiny had they gone with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which IS a flagship processor, albeit last year’s. Furthermore, from a quick comparison available online between the 8s Gen 4 and 8 Gen 3, both chips appear to be on a similar footing.

Nothing probably chose the newer chip for its updated graphical prowess; however, the “s” branding didn’t do them any favours, especially since they were calling the Phone 3 their “First True Flagship”.

Other Hardware

The Nothing Phone (3) has an LPDDR5X RAM of either 12GB or 16GB, which can be extended further via RAM Boost by up to 12GB. Meanwhile, for storage, we are getting 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0, and that’s all — no microSD card support here.

For power, the Phone (3) packs a 5,500mAh silicon-carbon battery, which in regions other than India has apparently been capped at 5,150mAh by some software wizardry. This time, we, the Nepali audience, will have to settle alongside the rest of the world. So, 5,150mAh it is — which is good enough.

In the meantime, the phone charges at a speed of 65W wired and 15W wirelessly. It can also charge other devices at a speed of 7.5W and 5W with and without a wire. Midrange phones like the Infinix GT 30 Pro boast a higher wireless charging speed of 30W, which would be great to see over here too. But, I won’t really complain since phones like the Galaxy S25 are still fine with 15W.

Display

For the display, we are getting a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution (1,260 x 2,800 pixels) and peak/outdoor/typical brightness of 4,500/1,600/800 nits, respectively. The brightest and highest-resolution screen the Nothing brand has ever shipped.

Other aspects include a 10-bit colour depth (1.07 billion colours), a 460PPI pixel density, and a 1,000Hz touch sampling. No mention of PWM dimming, though. Also, the bezels have grown slimmer. And they have always been symmetrical, so no surprise there.

Now, some more things that raise an eyebrow. The screen is an LTPS panel, which can go as high as 120Hz, but not lower than 30Hz. A “flagship” phone typically goes as low as 1Hz — some even drop down to 0.1Hz with their fancier LTPO panels. While this isn’t something that would hamper your viewing experience, it does eat into the battery life.

Then there is the fact that the screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 7i. This is definitely better than the Panda Glass we saw on the Phone (3a)s, but it is no Gorilla Glass Victus that the back panel of the phone has. Since one side of the phone already has the GG Victus, sandwiching the whole phone with it wouldn’t have been an unachievable task, I think.

Cameras

Time for the snappers. It was obvious that the Nothing Phone (3) would rock a periscope telephoto camera — the (3a) Pro came with one after all. But what wasn’t obvious is that the company’s “flagship” offering would have a smaller sensor than their midranger. 1/2.75″ vs 1/1.95″. In fact, the sensor size is the same as that of even the cheaper base Phone (3a).

Interestingly, an upside of this smaller sensor is an even shorter focusing distance for macros, now at just 5cm. In the meantime, addressing the elephant in the room — Nothing assured the 8s Gen 4’s improved processing power will offset the gap created by this hardware trade-off — hopefully, it will.

The main unit is a neat one, offering 50MP resolution on a 1/1.3-inch sensor — the same sensor size found on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Both the periscope and primary shooter are equipped with OIS and EIS capabilities.

The ultrawide on this phone is also 50MP, which is coupled with almost the same-sized sensor as the periscope snapper. Lastly, Nothing uses the exact same specs for the front camera to close out the quartet of 50MP shooters on the Phone (3).

Software and AI

Before I close out, let’s talk about the software, which is one of Nothing’s strongest suits. We are getting Nothing OS 3.5 with this phone — a slightly tweaked version of the critically acclaimed OS 3.1.

It is based on Android 15 and will support updates all the way to Android 20. This is a step up from the three years we had previously been getting. Likewise, the security patches will keep rolling for the next seven years.

Nothing introduced the “Essential Key” a few devices ago. It was a quick button that could save screenshots and images with notes or a voice memo. These memos would then be saved in “Essential Space“, wherein the phone’s AI would try its best to figure out what you just saved and prepare a list, create a reminder, and all that stuff. This button and space are still there.

However, the AI side of things has been expanded even further with the new “Essential Search“. This is Nothing’s do-it-all search box that you can access by swiping up from the bottom of your screen. Here, you can look for anything on-device: be it your contacts, device settings, or photos in your gallery. On top of that, you can even search random queries. But for this, you will unsurprisingly need to be connected to the internet.

Nothing Phone (3) Price in Nepal and Availability

The Nothing Phone (3) price in Nepal is Rs. 1,09,999 (12/256GB) and Rs. 1,24,999 (16/512GB) as part of the pre-booking offer, which runs until 14 July 2025. Only the first 100 customers will be able to get this discount while also bagging the CMF Buds Pro 2 for FREE!

The Nothing Phone (3) comes with a bold and polarising redesign, a three-camera system of 50MP, and a 5,150mAh battery with up to 65W charging support. Nothing has always had an edge with their software, and they are widening the use of AI while keeping it functional. All this is to say, there are good things going for the Nothing Phone (3).

However, the decision to call this phone their “First True Flagship” and go with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 has negatively impacted them PR-wise. Nothing Nepal has priced the phone quite competitively in Nepal. This doesn’t quite make it a dominant force in its price range like its lower siblings, but it is nonetheless just enough to make it an enticing option.
