Welcome to the latest edition of your favourite TechnoBugg Weekly Roundup series. We had multiple launches last week. Nothing introduced its new Nothing Phone 3 and its first-ever over-the-ear headphones. Nothing has introduced the smartphone with the multiple updates compared to the previous generation, but the pricing of the device is really disappointing, and this pricing might decide the fate of the company in India. There are many other interesting updates from the world of technology and without making any further delay let’s get into the article to look back to the last week.
TechnoBugg Weekly Roundup: A look back at the last week
You can check out the five trending news stories of last week, along with the two mentioned news stories from the world of technology, below.
Nothing Phone 3 goes official
The device comes with the new Glyph Matrix and the Nothing Phone 3 sports a 6.67-inch LTPO AMOLED display. The device also features a dynamic refresh rate from 60Hz to 120Hz and the display is integrated with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader.
It comes with the power of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 mobile processor along with up to 16GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage. The Nothing Phone 3 features a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, a 50MP OIS periscope camera that supports 3x optical zoom, 6x lossless zoom, and up to 60x AI Super Res Zoom. The periscope lens of the device will also work as a macro lens, and the device also comes with a 50MP ultra-wide lens. The device also features a 50MP front camera.
The device runs on Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5 out of the box and it is promised to receive five major Android updates and seven years of security patches for the device. The device houses a large 5,150mAh battery with 65W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. The device also supports reverse wireless charging at 5W. The device also comes with an IP68 rating, and the device has metal frame.
Nothing Phone 3 pricing disappointed
The 12GB RAM / 256GB storage variant of the device has a price tag of ₹79,999 while the 16GB RAM / 512GB storage option comes with a price tag of ₹89,999. It’s very hard to understand its price-to-specifications ratio. The Nothing Phone 3 apparently lacks dedicated cooling technology and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Crucially, it doesn’t even come with the latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, yet its price point is surprisingly high.
I’m genuinely disappointed with the pricing and the strategy of the company’s top executive, Carl Pei. The pricing would be far more palatable if the device were around ₹40,000, but Nothing is asking almost double that. Carl Pei’s statement that “Not for everyone, perfect for someone” feels like a weak justification; when pricing a product, it needs to be sensible for its target market.
Given the device is manufactured in India, this pricing becomes even more perplexing. When consumers spend their hard-earned money, they deserve to get value, and here, it seems completely out of sight. I’m genuinely uncertain about Nothing’s future in India, but I wish the company good luck. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the device’s pricing in the comments section below.
Nothing Headphone 1 launched
The device is co-developed with British audio specialist KEF, and it comes with Nothing’s signature transparent design with a lightweight aluminum frame. The device features memory foam and oil-resistant PU leather.

The device comes with up to 80 hours of battery life without ANC and 35 hours of battery life with ANC. The device also supports fast charging as well. You can also control various features as the tactile roller on the earcup adjusts volume and playback, the device also features in dedicated button that offers quick access to AI assistants via the Nothing X app. The device also features an 8-band EQ for tuning the sound. The device is priced at ₹19,999 in India with early discounts.
Honor Magic V5 unveiled
