After few weeks with the Nothing Phone (3) — here’s my brutally honest take. It’s beautiful, fast, thoughtful… and still a little flawed. 🧵 Full review below 👇 #NothingPhone3 #review

8/ We are planning a trip, not a telecom obstacle race. Kindly help. 🙏 @airtelindia @Airtel_Presence #Airtel #Postpaid #TelecomIssues

7/ Airtel, all we want is: ✅ Clear info in the app ✅ A simple process ✅ No prepaid-postpaid ping pong 🎾 #Airtel #Postpaid #Telecomlssues

6/ App pushes us to postpaid. Support pushes us to store. Store pushes us back to prepaid. We are running in circles like a loading icon. 🔄😩 #Airtel #Postpaid #Telecomlssues

5/ Store said, “We cannot do KYC for online postpaid. Convert back to prepaid and then again to postpaid.” Us: So basically UNO reverse card? ♻️😂 @Airtel_Presence @airtelindia

4/ We called 121. They said “Sir, please visit the store.” Store time. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ #Airtel #Postpaid #Telecomlssues

3/ Later someone told us, “Bro, online postpaid will not work in J&K without KYC.” Our reaction: 😳💀 #Airtel #Postpaid #Telecomlssues

2/ App was like “Go postpaid, go postpaid.” 🔔 We converted. Still no hint that the SIM will behave differently in J&K. 🤷‍♂️ #Airtel #Postpaid #Telecomlssues

1/ So we friends planned a trip to J&K ✈️🏔️ Everyone knows prepaid SIMs sleep like a panda 🐼 in J&K. So we thought let’s be smart and switch to postpaid through the Airtel Thanks app. Easy click. No KYC. No warning. Just vibes. ✅ #Airtel #Postpaid #Telecomlssues

Nothing OS 3.5 (Android 15) is minimal, fast, and expressive. The Dot Engine animations are buttery. It makes the OS feel alive without being flashy. No ads, no bloat, just clean visuals. 5 yrs OS + 7 yrs security updates — respect.

Still USB 2.0 — which means file transfers crawl, even with the 5A cable. No HDMI display output, so you can’t connect it to a monitor or use wired screen mirroring. No video-out, no DisplayPort Alt Mode, nothing. That’s disappointing.

Battery life = reliable. 5500 mAh silicon-carbon cell lasts 1.5 – 2 days easily. - 65 W wired → full charge in ~54 min. - 15 W wireless + reverse charge support. Only complaint: USB 2.0 port — transfer speeds crawl. The USB-C port is honestly the weakest part of this phone

Tried micro-photography with the periscope macro mode — that’s where it blew my mind. You can focus absurdly close, and detail retention is wild. even fabric threads look like art. (macro photo samples) all photos are unedited

Camera setup = all 50 MP. Main (OV50H, OIS), Periscope (3× optical + AI zoom), Ultra-wide (114°), Front (4 K 60 fps). The new TrueLens Engine 4 nails HDR and shadows. Night shots finally look real, not painted.

Performance? Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 + LPDDR5X + UFS 4.0. Apps open instantly, gaming stays smooth, and thermals are under control. Benchmarks mean nothing — this thing just feels fast.

Now the display — 6.67″ AMOLED, 1.5 K+, 120 Hz adaptive. Peak brightness hits 4500 nits (crazy for HDR). 10-bit colour, HDR10+, 100 % DCI-P3. Sharp, fluid, and readable even under sun.

The Essential Key + Essential Space combo is genuinely useful. - Press once — screenshot or quick note. - Hold — voice-to-text recording with on-device AI. It organizes everything automatically. It’s like a built-in personal assistant, not a shortcut.

The Glyph Interface is totally reimagined. Now a 489-LED matrix disc instead of strips — it’s cleaner and smarter. Caller IDs, app signals, clocks, even mini-games like Spin the Bottle. Paired with the new Glyph Button, it’s finally more than a gimmick.

Speaking of cases… the in-box case one? 😬 Nice gesture, poor execution. Turns yellow in weeks and feels cheap. Nothing should’ve shipped a hard-back case with TPU sides so we can actually protect and flaunt this art piece.
