Why buy the Nothing Phone (3)
- Three 50MP cameras, including real zoom. The 3x periscope with stabilisation gets you close to the stage at a concert or the pitch at a match without losing detail.
- Support until 2032. Seven years of security patches from launch is longer than any earlier Nothing phone, so this is a phone you can keep.
- IP68 and a tough build. An aluminium frame, Gorilla Glass on both sides and full submersion protection mean a heavy downpour is not a worry.
- Fast charging both ways. 65W by cable, 15W wireless, and it can share power with earbuds or another phone.
- A selfie camera that shoots 4K. The 50MP front camera records 4K at 60fps, useful for vlogs and video calls.

| IP68, glass and aluminium build | No memory card slot |
| 65W wired and 15W wireless charging | Glyph Matrix is smaller and less useful than it looks |
