Nothing Phone (3) Listed at Huge Discount on Amazon, But There’s a Catch!
The Nothing Phone (3) was launched about a month ago with a starting price of around Rs 80,000. But recently, people have noticed listings on Amazon showing the phone for as low as Rs 56,500. This huge price drop of almost Rs 24,000 is raising questions—is this offer real or a scam?
Currently, Nothing has not officially announced any price drop. However, they are running bank offers on Flipkart, which can reduce the price by up to Rs 10,000. Even with these offers, the phone still sells for around Rs 70,000.
So, where did this Rs 56,500 price come from?
When you search for the Nothing Phone (3) on Amazon, you will see some listings showing the 12GB + 256GB variant at Rs 56,500. But if you look closely, these phones are not sold directly by Amazon or by Nothing, but by third-party sellers like “BeautyVerse” and “Jai Ram Wholesale”.
Although Amazon will ship the product, the sellers are unknown and could be selling used, open-box, or even fake units. In fact, Nothing does not sell any of its products officially on Amazon India. Their official partners are Flipkart, Croma, Vijay Sales, and select offline stores.
If you’re planning to buy the Nothing Phone (3), it’s better to wait for the Big Billion Days sale, where you might get an official price drop. Right now, you can get the phone for about Rs 70,000 with card discounts, or even lower if you exchange your old phone. For example, if you exchange a Nothing Phone (2) in flawless condition, you could get the Phone (3) for as low as Rs 45,000.
Final Advice:
Do not trust listings on Amazon for Nothing phones. These are not official and may be risky. Always buy from trusted and official sellers to avoid scams or fake products.
The popular third-party dialer app N Dial, inspired by the clean design of Nothing OS, has received a major update called the Nimbus Update. This update brings a completely new user interface, smoother animations, and several practical improvements that enhance the overall calling experience on Android smartphones.
One of the biggest highlights of the update is the redesigned interface for Recents, Dialpad, Contacts, Favorites, and Contact Cards. Everything now looks more modern and minimal, matching the style seen on Nothing Phones. A new light theme called Nimbus has also been added, giving users a clean and bright look. Additionally, the navigation bar has been improved for better usability.
The app now includes haptic feedback when scrolling through contacts or using the dialpad, giving a more responsive feel. Users can also view and delete individual call entries for each contact, making call history management more flexible. Contact photos are now supported, and a new Albums View has been added in the Favorites section, alongside the classic grid layout.
To improve performance, N Dial now allows users to set a limit on call logs. Incoming calls no longer appear as pop-ups but are shown in the notification panel, providing a less distracting experience. The update also introduces features like quick notes during ongoing calls and external links for additional functionality.
In terms of technical improvements, the app’s animations are smoother, and overall performance has been boosted. Important bugs have been fixed, including issues with the proximity sensor and Bluetooth connections with smartwatches. The quality of contact images has also been enhanced.
N Dial is available for all Android smartphones, not just Nothing devices. It aims to provide a smooth, beautiful, and easy-to-use calling experience. Users can download the updated version from the Google Play Store, making sure the version name includes “Nimbus.”
Overall, the Nimbus Update brings major upgrades to N Dial, both in looks and performance. If you’re looking for a dialer that feels modern, simple, and closer to the Nothing Phone experience, this is a great option to try.

Himanshu Tandon, the head of POCO India, has stepped down from his role and is likely to join the smartphone company Nothing in August. According to a report by Moneycontrol, he is expected to lead Nothing’s CMF division.
Tandon was part of the founding team of POCO and became the head of its India operations in 2022. He worked under Sandeep Singh Arora, Xiaomi India’s Chief Business Officer, who joined the company from Samsung earlier this year.
This is the second major leadership change at Xiaomi India in less than a year. Earlier, in November 2024, Xiaomi India’s President Muralikrishnan B also left the company.
Xiaomi Faces Market Challenges, POCO Shows Growth
Tandon’s exit comes as Xiaomi is facing tough times in India. In the second quarter of 2025, the company’s smartphone shipments dropped by 25% compared to last year, falling to 5 million units. Its market share also dropped from 18% to 13%.
Despite this, POCO performed well. It increased its share of Xiaomi’s shipments in India from 30% to 41%, with 2.03 million units sold. According to Canalys, POCO’s success came from targeting Gen Z users, offering gaming features, and growing offline sales through JioMart Digital.
Tandon Likely to Lead Nothing’s CMF Division
Tandon is expected to join Nothing’s affordable and design-focused brand CMF. The London-based company recently shifted its global marketing team to India.
Nothing’s CMF brand, led by company co-founder Akis Evangelidis in India, has seen fast growth — 229% in Q2 — thanks to products like the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Phone 3a series.
Both Xiaomi and Nothing are expected to officially announce Tandon’s move in the coming days.
