Features
Every detail, verified.
01Network and SIM
Unlocked for EE, O2, Vodafone, Three and every other UK network, with 5G support. It takes a physical nano-SIM; eSIM support can vary by model, so message us before ordering if you need it.
02Display and Glyph Matrix
GSMArena lists a 6.67-inch OLED at 1260 x 2800 with up to 120Hz refresh. On the back, the Glyph Matrix is a small LED display that replaced the light strips on earlier Nothing phones. It can show the time, notifications, charging status and simple Glyph Toys.
03Performance and storage
The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 sits just below Qualcomm's top chip and handles games and multitasking well. It comes with 12GB/256GB or 16GB/512GB and has no memory card slot.
04Cameras
The rear has three 50MP cameras: main, 3x periscope telephoto and ultrawide. The front camera is also 50MP.
05Battery
The international model has a 5,150mAh battery (India's version is larger), with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging. Our minimum battery health at dispatch is 85%+ on every grade (Like New, Excellent and Very Good). It comes with a free USB-C charging cable and SIM ejector pin.
06Built to last and software updates
The Phone (3) is IP68 rated as manufactured; after refurbishment treat that as accident protection only. Nothing promises five Android upgrades and seven years of security updates from the July 2025 launch, which puts security support into 2032.
Condition
Pre-owned. Tested. Honestly graded.
The phone is second hand, refurbished and graded by how it looks. On a Phone (3), check the grade carefully: marks on the rear glass show over the Glyph Matrix. Every grade is fully working; the grade describes cosmetic condition, from Like New (no visible marks) to Very Good (visible signs of use). All grades carry our 12-month warranty.
Like New
No visible marks
Excellent
Light signs of use, hard to spot at arm's length
Very Good
Visible marks on the body; screen in good shape
Fully tested
Cleaned

Compare
How it compares
Phone (3) vs Phone (2): the Phone 2 has light-strip Glyphs, two cameras, IP54 and security updates only to 2027. Phone (3) vs OnePlus 13: the OnePlus 13 has a faster chip and a 6,000mAh battery; the Phone (3) has a longer update promise.
Our view
Is a refurbished Nothing Phone 3 worth buying in 2026?
Yes, if you want Nothing's design with flagship cameras and a long update promise. It is the newest Nothing phone we sell. If you don't need the periscope or wireless charging, the Phone (3a) costs much less.
Who it's for
People who want a distinctive phone they can keep for five years or more. For a lower price with a 2x zoom, choose the Nothing Phone 3a. See all refurbished Nothing phones.

What if it's locked to the previous owner's account?
Contact us straight away if it asks for a previous owner's Google or Nothing account during set-up. A phone you can't set up is faulty, so our 12-month warranty and your Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights apply.
