WE CHECK OUT FIRST FLAGSHIP PHONE AND OVER-EAR HEADPHONES FROM TECH FIRM TAKING ON THE BIG BOYS

- JUSTIN CONNOLLY

WANT FOR NOTHING

IT'S already been a big year for phone-maker Nothing... but this week it got a lot bigger.

The company launched even more products, taking it into uncharted territory a first “flagship” phone and a first pair of over-ear headphones.

I've been testing both out for a week or so, and I’m not surprised to find that I like what I've seen.

I'm a fan of Nothing's design vibe and these two new devices stick with the formula.

Here’s the lowdown on both.

PHONE (3)

Phone (3) marks the first time Nothing has moved away from the lowerand mid-market and aimed toward the top.

We're not quite talking pre mium, but we are looking at a phone that is set to duke it out with the likes of the iPhone 16 and the Samsung Galaxy S25.

At £799 it’s not a cheap phone. You would expect some premium specs for that, and the Phone (3) doesn’t disappoint on that score...

It’s powered by the rapid Qual comm Snapdragon Gen 4 chipset not quite state of the art, but certainly a lot faster than anything Nothing has had before. It’s not going to disappoint you.

Battery-wise we're also looking at a couple of serious upgrades with a 5,150mAh unit that will easily see you through the day and well into the next with normal use. Plus it supports 65W fast charging.

The screen is also the best you'll find on any Nothing Phone a 6.67 AMOLED screen that’s both bright and detailed.
