It's not like a bad phone but the price needs to reflect it's true value. It's just too high right now.

Won't be surprised if those here that eventually buy it come from the Pixel 9 Pro XL (that's even way more pricier like $1,459 for 128GB on Google official SG Store) though......

I got my pixel 9 Pro XL 256gb from Moby Shop...it went as low as $1030 during 11.11 last year.

Sadly to some who are busy coping with daily RL pressures (like cost of living), Mobile Shops for these are fast becoming disguised TOTO for mobile phones. Always ended up buying phones overpriced instead due to horrible timing to buy, especially budget ones <S$200, needless to say flagships costing S$1k+, aka heartland purchase scam, the type even Scamshield have no way to protect against.

Hilariously Reddit (r/Nothing) seems to think otherwise, especially buyers from markets that give Nothing Headphones (1) free with purchase of Phone (3) actually, unlike here where they give only Nothing Ear (a) instead.

Perhaps these are the REAL target market for that device, and Nothing is doing a better-than-expected job in reaching these buyers.

Mostly angmohs who don't have access to other brands other than Samsung and Apple I guess..

Even more like pro-privacy westerners who HATED being unneccesarily spied on by BOTH eastern & western "big brothers" kind of customers. Even Nothing Community page have a user tutorial on how to "de-Google" your Nothing Device as a GrapheneOS alternative (since that currently is paywalled to Pixel Devices right now).

Another group of customers are also those who share fond memories of OxygenOS (the main OS Android Skin of OnePlus Devices BEFORE Oppo bought them over and switched to Oppo's ColorOS). They see NothingOS as a "spiritual successor" to OxygenOS since Carl Pei founded the company in 2020. And yes, PRC was one of the countries that never got Nothing products officially launched there, only in Taiwan & Hong Kong SAR out of the Mandarin-speaking Region.

I reckon you're paying more for the design and software than for the actual hardware.

Not surprised at that, because that's exactly what Nothing is trying to tell us with their products, like making their OS skin first then making the hardware to harness the software functions, reminiscent of OnePlus pre-Oppo days and Samsung pre-S7 period.

Heck, even Samsung now officially going the Chinese Phone route for their next flagships: Designing their OS Software around their phone hardware, with the Galaxy Z Series getting the best features and Galaxy S getting refined updates, and finally the rest (Galaxy A, M and J Series) getting updated bread crumbs.

Does anyone having the Nothing Phone 3 check under clone apps if WhatsApp business is available to be cloned?

Speaking of Chinese Phone, apparently dunno if it's more of Chinese phone copying Nothing's marketing strategy for Phone (3), the Vivo X Fold 5 is trying its best to outfail that, S$2,499 including Zeiss and Distro Taxes for its foldable with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and AI Functions everywhere that is difficult to switch off or limit its use.
