The Nothing Phone (3) received little love in a recent poll due to its divisive design and high price point, viewed as a major misstep for a company known for innovative design.
Criticism was directed towards the pricing of $800/£800/€800/₹80,000 for features like Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and non-LTPO display, which were deemed non-flagship.
Despite a potentially easier sell in the US market, the Nothing Phone (3) faces challenges in Europe and Asia with its current specs and price point. The battery size and features were also identified as drawbacks.
Carl Pei, a veteran in the industry and founder of Nothing, will need to reconsider the Phone (3) strategy after backlash over the pricing and features, reflecting on the need to reevaluate the product's position in the market.
