When Nothing Phone entered the market, it seemed that Samsung and Apple would get competition in the flagship segment. However, nothing like this happened.

No Flagship Chip in ₹80K Phone? Nothing Phone 3 Faces Tough Questions
Talking about the processor, the company is not offering any flagship processor in the phone of Rs 80 thousand. OnePlus also gives Snapdragon 8 Elite processor in its 55 thousand rupees phone. Whereas in Nothing’s flagship phone you get Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor. The phone looks thick and boxy.
No Special AI Features in Nothing Phone 3
In terms of battery, the company has given a 5500mAh battery, whereas in OnePlus phones you get a 6000mAh battery. On the other hand, if we talk about AI feature, then Google and Samsung offer a much better deal.
Overall, we do not see this smartphone becoming the iPhone of Android in any case. Now only its sale will tell how much people are liking this phone. Now the question is why would anyone buy Nothing Phone 3. The company will have a better answer to this.
