Key Takeaways

Glyph Matrix rear display and transparent look make the Phone (3) the most distinctive flagship on the shelf.

A bright 6.67-inch 120Hz AMOLED, triple 50MP cameras, and 65W charging cover most flagship basics.

Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is an upper-midrange chip, so raw power trails the Galaxy S25 and Pixel 9 at this price.

Cameras are capable in daylight but can be inconsistent in low light versus rival flagships.

Good Guys buyers rate it 5.0 from 2 reviews, praising the photo quality and better-than-expected RAM and processor.

Fans coming from the 2a and 3a say they love Nothing OS and its quirky customisation options.

Users argue $1,509 is too steep for the specs, noting a Pixel 9 or Galaxy S25 Ultra can be found cheaper.

Some AU forum posters call the design polarising and question flagship value at this price.
