* TOP SoftwareMidrange

EDITORIAL: After competing with entry-level and midrange phones, Nothing claims it is ready to offer a flagship. The Phone (3) is their first attempt. It comes with just below top-shelf components, stabile and very functional OS with some useful new AI features. Nothing decided to replace the glyph interface that company's phones were known for with a dot matrix back screen of 489 LEDs that can provide a more contextual interaction.

PROs

unique and recognizable design with a see-through back panel, good SD 8s Gen 4 with UFS4.0 performance, 1-day endurance from a 5150mAh Si-C battery with 60min 65W charging (15W wireless), IP68 protection, 3 reliable 50MP cameras (main and periscope tele with OIS PDAF), good 50MP (no AF) selfie, good video recording, 5 years of updates of Nothing's mature and unique OS with (AI powered) Essential Space feature and a dedicated hardware button

CONs

boxy body, no SDmemory, no desktop replacement feature, slow USB-C 2.0 with no video-out

Midrange

EDITORIAL: Vivo V50 comes 6 months after the V40 and it brings the same Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip (same as V30 too), a bigger (6000mAh) Si-C battery and a selfie that is now also Zeiss enhanced. This is a great example of Vivoâs strategy of focusing on battery-screen-photography and is another midranger that will best many flagship phones with itâs very thin body and a lovely, solid feel (despite having a plastic frame), top battery life and excellent photo and video performance. This time, screen resolution is dropped to 1080 and the body is even wider than on V40. Could Vivo be saving the compact size for itâs future flagships?

PROs

thin and very comfortable to use build, Outstanding 2-day 6000mAh Si-C battery endurance with sub-60min 90W charging, good 1080p almost 1300nits 3840PWM AMOLED screen, IP69 element protection, 50MP OIS PDAF main + 50MP AF ultrawide + 50MP AF selfie â all with Zeiss optics for excellent portraits, great photographs and videos

CONs

wide 76.7mm body, a 1080 screen (albeit with HDR10+), no memory expansion, just 3 years of OS updates and no desktop replacement software (updated Jun 9, 2025)
