What reviewers say

Good

  • Unique design with glass back and Essential Key
  • Bright 10-bit 120Hz HDR OLED
  • Loud speakers
  • Distinctive, polished software
  • Steady performance, no throttling
  • Strong cameras, especially the zoom
  • Eye-catching transparent design

Not so good

  • Essential Key moves the power button
  • Only IP64
  • Zoom camera can't film 4K
  • No charger, no wireless charging
  • Heavy at 211 g
  • Photo quality inconsistent
  • Speakers distort at full volume
  • GSMArenaRecommendedMar 2025

    Well-rounded and distinctive rather than powerful; few real faults and nothing cheaper looks like it.

  • MySmartPrice82/100Mar 2025

    Great design and software, but beyond the periscope and selfie cameras it is the same as the Phone (3a); good for Nothing newcomers, skip if you own a (2a).

  • Business TodayRecommendedMar 2025

    One of the best picks below Rs 35,000 for buyers who want a distinctive phone and experience over raw specs.

  • India TVRecommendedMay 2025

    Solid mid-ranger for people who value looks and the basics over top speed or box extras.

  • Distinctive daily driver with a bright, accurate screen and fast charging; the camera is its weakest link, especially in low light.

Common complaints

  • After the Sept 2025 update a Glyph light segment could stay lit until restart (Nothing India confirmed a fix was coming)
  • Nothing OS 4.0 rollout was paused in Dec 2025 because of bugs across the 3a series
  • No wireless charging
  • Not great for heavy games
  • Weak 8 MP ultrawide
  • Large camera bump and plastic frame
  • Speakers lack bass

For the Glyph light bug, Nothing India support confirmed the issue and said service centres could apply a temporary fix until an update.

From: Kimovil user opinions (4), Android Authority (owner reports of stuck Glyph light), Nextpit (Nothing OS 4.0 rollout paused over owner-reported bugs)
