With that, it's a Wrap!

For all the latest news from the tech world, stay tuned to Gizbot!

Nothing Phone (3) vs Phone (2)

Nothing’s third flagship is here, and it’s not holding back. With the launch of the Nothing Phone (3), Carl Pei’s team isn’t just tweaking what worked with the Phone (2); they’re boldly leaning further into their identity. But does the ₹79,999 price tag reflect innovation or eccentricity? And if you're already using the Phone (2), is it really time to upgrade?

Nothing Phone 3 First Impressions

It’s not a phone made for everyone. It doesn’t try to win on pure specs. Instead, it leans into personality, aesthetic, and a fresh take on interaction. And honestly, I respect that. There are too many clones in the smartphone market. Nothing is at least trying to do something different. But at ₹79,999 (12GB + 256GB) and ₹89,999 (16GB + 512GB), it’s entering brutal territory — a segment where Apple and Samsung rule, and even established Android brands like Xiaomi, Vivo, and OPPO struggle to break through.

Nothing Headphone 1 launched in India

The Nothing Headphone 1, launched in India on Tuesday, accompanies the Nothing Phone 3. These headphones are also available in select global markets. They feature active noise cancellation (ANC) and 40mm dynamic drivers, with sound tuning by British audio company KEF.
