Nothing, phone review 3: the pioneer

Nothing says that phone 3 is “the first real major phone”, and it has put its money in its place. The phone gets a full launch of the United States, and at $ 799, it completely costs the same Pixel 9, Galaxy S25 or iPhone 16.

This makes the 3 -year -old phone review, because there are only two real questions that concern: Is this good for such three? Will it be good like what we expect from the new or lower iPhone iPhone models?

The answer will reach the amount of what you like its unique appearance. Bad news for nothing is that the design of phone 3 is more exciting than anything there, even among the biggest fans of anything.

Phone 3 is the first phone nothing to give up the interface interface, which is an abstract pattern of LED points and strips that have become a brand design, nothing Phone 1 was launched in 2022. In its place, something smaller and accurate: the Dit Dot Matrix screen called the Glyph matrix.

Glyph matrix can view photos and icons, so instead of trying to remember what the programmed light shows the phone calls from your mother, you can set an expressive symbol to represent them (you can even use an image, but this is equal to the same amount of ancient lights when presented on the point matrix). You can use pre -identified designs or create your own image from an image, but if you want to use a specific emoji or the application icon, you will need to suspend the image file yourself to convert it. All of this must be enabled manually, the contact by contact, the application according to the application, so it is a good work of work.

Glyph matrix can also do reasonable things such as width of time or the remaining battery, strange things such as playing a solar clock or framing a personal photo using the back camera, and just strange things like rock music, paper, scissors or rotating the bottle. In practice or not, they are collectively called Glyph games, and you can ride them with a hidden hidden button on the background of the phone. You can always set the watches or battery index to start it permanently as a form of screen, too, which is a boring use but the best part of it for me.

The end result is a more practical system than it was – although it does not do much to dispel it Accusations – But it seems less unique, and follow -up in the aftermath of several years Asus Rouge phones That has similar second screens.

It also leaves the rest of the background background. A lot has been written about the mode of the asymmetric camera of the phone, but it is the arid white space that bother me more. Nothing is about the details and materials that draw the eye and alludes to the devices under it. But here, there is a narrow range of cameras and other details on the top of the phone, and at the bottom, nothing, nothing. I love the appearance of other company devices, but phone 3 is its first design – very busy at the top and very empty everywhere.

Nothing special design language passes through the program. Nothing OS 3.5, based on Android 15, is minimal and unilateral, with a lot of customization – to details such as planning the fast settings menu. Grayscale looks great, although it is a little useful when you try to find an application icon in a rush, but you can always switch to standard colored codes in Android if you prefer it. The new global search tape with artificial intelligence also helps apply applications, contacts, settings, and more.

Other large AI features were found in The return of the basic space,, Which is caused by the key devices for saving screenshots and audio notes, which will be analyzed by artificial intelligence to provide you with reminder of events or tasks, with a new option to add events to the Google Calendar. It can also summarize audio recordings, although you are limited to 300 minutes a month, with no option to buy more, and you only get a summary, not a full version.

But there is more than that you are more pioneer than just looking at the part. Nothing angered some fans by boasting about Snapdragon Gen 4 slices for the “pioneer” phone, which is also found in $ 399 POCO F7. Certainly, this is a slice of the lower tip of the leading space, less powerful than Snapdragon 8 Elite You will find in Galaxy S25. But Google’s pixel line has provided less pure energy since the company has turned into Tensioner chips at homeAnd 8s Gen 4 competitive. He did not fall backward or affected within a week with the phone, the processing of the images is fast enough, and it deals with games comfortably.

Some powerful specifications: 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage are great for the basic model, providing the space of its competitors. The 5,150mAh battery is larger than the alternatives and continues today comfortably, while 65W wire charging is the fastest in the piece. The OLED 120 Hz screen does not stop the competition outside the competition outside it at 6.67 inches.

There were no specialized cameras, but this did not cut them to the pioneer. Nothing upgrade 3 phone devices using a triple rear camera that uses 50-megapixel sensors in all fields-including the Selfie-camera-all its competitors outperform the accuracy. She says she has made a driver, too, giving priority to the richer shades and natural monuments.

The main camera works well in a good light through dusk. Some shots have a flat shine of excessive HDR effects, removal of contrast and details, although nothing post -processing is more restricted than some. The results decrease as soon as they become dark, the camera dominates excessive highlighting and crushing blacks in this process.

Telephoto is the best feature that this camera goes on, partly because iPhone 16 and Pixel 9 You don’t have one. Color adjustment is different from the main lens, being more flattering and cooler, but it takes pictures with an attractive natural peach effect, especially in macro mode.

In general, the cameras were slight Pixel 10 is rumored to jump to three camerasThis feature may disappear.

Back to the big question: Do you have to buy this on other pioneers? The phone comes 3 with more storage, larger battery, and faster charging. It is possible that you will overcome the pixels and the upcoming devices on these fronts. But the group of slides or cameras does not last, and there is a risk that these gaps will grow in the next few months.

However, none of the other pioneers seems like this. Depending on your taste, this may be a point in their favor. I do not like the design of the phone 3. But it is distinctive, and the official Messenger matrix Be able to Be strong if you take enough time to customize it. If this appeals, the Noteing 3 is the unique pioneer. Just make sure that you are happy to put the shape on the job.
