Nothing Phone 3: Ugly or Design Revolution? The Internet is Divided!
Brace yourselves, the tech world is split again! The Nothing Phone 3, the first true flagship from the young tech brand Nothing, was officially unveiled on July 1st, but instead of universal praise, its design has sparked a wildfire of divided opinions. Is this innovation or a disaster?
What’s new? The Nothing Phone 3 comes in black and white, starting at around 700 euros for the 12 GB RAM model, while the 16 GB version costs about 800 euros. It features four cameras: three on the back and one on the front. The main rear camera is 50 MP with optical image stabilization, and the periscope camera offers 3x optical zoom and telemacro shooting from just 10 cm away. The AMOLED display measures 6.67 inches with FHD resolution and a peak brightness of up to 1200 nits.
Design that divides the internet But it’s not the hardware causing the storm—it’s the design! Nothing removed the famous ‘glyph’ lights from the back and added a ‘glyph matrix’ in the top right corner—a small circular screen that shows notifications in a dotted matrix form. This isn’t just for looks—it can reduce time spent staring at the main screen and serve as a fun or useful notification tool. You can see who’s calling, display a digital clock, stopwatch, and even play a spin-the-bottle game.
But the camera… The biggest criticism is about the camera layout on the back. They’re asymmetrically placed, which annoys many. Some have outright called the phone ugly, including famous tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, who said, “Yes, it’s ugly.” But he added that Nothing is known for its different design approach and some will like it.
On the flip side, tech TikToker Tyler Morgan said right after unboxing that the phone looks nice, is thick, heavy, and feels premium.
Internet explodes! On social media, the debate is fierce. Some say, “Ignore the haters, it’s brutal!” while others scream, “It’s awful, please pull the phone back!” Some even offered their own design fixes, while others praise the brand’s courage to go against the grain.
What do the numbers say? Despite the divided opinions on design, early reviews on performance are promising. Sales will tell if Nothing hit the mark or missed with this device.
Conclusion The Nothing Phone 3 isn’t just a phone—it’s a challenge to conventional design. Is it a bold move or a design fail? The internet is split, and you? Would you dare carry this phone? Or is the camera layout your nightmare? Drop a comment, maybe together we can figure out how to make it prettier—or at least have a good laugh at the tech world’s expense!
If you made it this far, maybe it’s time to think about your next phone. Or just leave a meme in the comments. No judgment.
