Nothing Phone (3) gets another price cut at Amazon — is this under-rated phone now a better buy than the Pixel 10, Galaxy S25, or iPhone 17?

If you're shopping for a new phone but aren't sold on the usual Apple, Samsung, or Google options, this deal on the Nothing Phone (3) is well worth a look.

Right now, it's down to $599 (was $799) at Amazon, which is extremely close to the record-low price we saw over Prime Day just a few weeks ago. The device briefly hit $584, but this is the next best price I've seen.

On paper, the Nothing Phone (3) packs plenty of flagship-worthy hardware, including a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, a versatile quad 50MP camera system, and a sharp 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It doesn't quite match the Galaxy S26 in outright performance, but that's arguably beside the point.

Nothing has built its reputation on offering something genuinely different, with a bold industrial aesthetic and a clean, distinctive take on Android that stands apart from the competition. Combined with this record-low price, the Phone (3) makes a compelling alternative to more conventional flagship devices like the Galaxy S26 or Google Pixel 10.

Is the Nothing Phone (3) still worth it in 2026?

When we reviewed the Nothing Phone (3) at TechRadar, we came away impressed by its distinctive design, solid hardware, and polished software experience. Our biggest criticism was its launch price, which put it in direct competition with flagship phones from Samsung and Apple. That made it a tougher recommendation unless you were looking for something really different.

With today's discount, however, the Phone (3) is a more tempting option. While the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset doesn't quite match the raw performance of the Galaxy S26, it's still more than capable for everyday use and remains a strong performer by 2026 standards.

In terms of specs, the Nothing Phone (3) holds up well, with a vibrant 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, long battery life backed by fast charging, and a versatile quad-camera setup built around four 50MP sensors.

In our testing, the hardware consistently produced impressive images, although we'd still give the edge to Apple and Google when it comes to cutting-edge image processing. Still, for most people, the Phone (3) is still an excellent camera phone.

Of course, specs have never been the main reason to buy a Nothing phone. The real appeal is its distinctive love-it-or-hate-it design. It's very different from the usual iPhone or Galaxy look, and the brand has also carried the industrial design through to its software with its own re-skinned version of Android.
