Nothing Phone (3) costs $499 at Amazon, $200 below its list price

If you want a phone that looks a little different from the usual slab, Amazon lists the black Nothing Phone (3) with 256GB of storage for $499. That is $200 below the retailer’s displayed $699 list price, and the deal includes the version with 12GB of RAM.

When I checked, Amazon was selling and shipping the new, unlocked phone itself. It was in stock, and the $499 price did not require a coupon or Prime membership. Standard free delivery was available to the location I checked, while Prime members were offered a faster option.

The $200 difference compares the current price with Amazon’s list price; it does not tell us what the phone cost immediately before this offer. For context, Nothing’s US store also lists the black 12GB/256GB model for $499, so Amazon is not the only place selling it at this price.

The Phone (3) puts a small display on its back

The most distinctive part of the Phone (3) is its transparent-style rear design and circular Glyph Matrix. Nothing describes the interface as a way to show visual alerts and small interactive features on the back of the phone. If you like keeping a phone face down, that gives you another way to see certain notifications.

Up front, there is a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip is paired with 12GB of memory in this configuration, and Nothing lists a 5,150mAh battery. How long it lasts will depend on how you use the phone.

There are three 50-megapixel cameras on the back and a fourth 50-megapixel camera on the front. The handset also carries an IP68 rating. Those specifications are useful if you want flexibility for photos and some protection against dust and water, though the rating is not a promise against every kind of damage.

Check your carrier before buying the unlocked Phone (3)

This is an unlocked phone, but unlocked does not mean every carrier will support it equally. Amazon lists support for AT&T and T-Mobile, while warning that Verizon compatibility is limited and saying it does not recommend the phone for that network. I recommend checking with your carrier before ordering, especially if you use Verizon or a smaller provider that relies on its network.

The linked offer is for the black 12GB/256GB model. Other configurations and colors can have different prices, so confirm the selected version, seller and current total on Amazon’s product page before you buy.
