Released a little over a year ago with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor under the hood that wasn't exactly the cream of the crop at that point either, the Nothing Phone (3) is... clearly not the best Android phone money can buy in 2026.

Of course, the decidedly unconventional (and somewhat divisive) 6.67-inch (semi) flagship is nowhere near as expensive as the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra, Google's Pixel 11 Pro XL, or even the "vanilla" Galaxy S26 and Pixel 11, and if you hurry, you can slash no less than 300 bucks off its regular starting price of $799.

The Galaxy A57 5G is not better than the Nothing Phone (3), but it comes from a bigger brand, promises unrivaled long-term software support, and for a limited time, it can be had at a solid discount too.

$300 off (38%)

If you hate how similar most high-end handsets look nowadays, you might want to consider the decidedly unorthodox Nothing Phone (3) with a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen in tow and a "Glyph Matrix" on its back. Powered by a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, the device is on sale at an unprecedented $300 discount today only in both an entry-level configuration with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage and an upper-tier variant packing 16 gigs of memory and accommodating 512 gigs of data internally.

This killer new Amazon deal eclipses all previous Nothing Phone (3) discounts offered by all major US retailers in the past (including during the e-commerce giant's Prime Day 2026 event a couple of months back), and although I obviously can't predict the future, I highly doubt we'll see a better promotion anytime soon (including for Black Friday or Cyber Monday in three months or so).

The higher-than-ever $300 discount, mind you, is available at the time of this writing on both 256 and 512GB storage variants in both black and white color options, and no, you don't need an Amazon Prime membership (this time around) to keep your spending in check. What you do need is to quickly decide if this is the right handset at the right price for you right now, as Amazon's outstanding promo is scheduled to go away at the end of the day.

The costlier model, remember, also packs an extra four gigs of memory compared to the cheaper variant in addition to twice as much internal storage space, so if you can afford it, that's definitely the better deal and smarter investment for the future at $300 under its $899 list price.

Whether you love or hate the... bold design choices made by Nothing for its latest high-end smartphone, this simply doesn't have a direct rival in terms of bang for buck at a similar price point today. That's because the 120Hz refresh rate-capable OLED screen, four different 50MP cameras, 5,150mAh battery, 65W charging support, and yes, even the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset are (way) better than what Google's Pixel 10a, Samsung's Galaxy A57 5G, or the Motorola Edge (2026) have to offer.

$90

$210

$120 off (57%)

Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
