Nothing Phone (3) vs Samsung Galaxy A56 5G

Nothing Phone (3)

Nothing doubles down on its transparent aesthetic with a refined Glyph interface, premium materials, and IP68 durability.

• The transparent back panel with evolved Glyph lights remains the most distinctive design in smartphones — no other phone looks like this
• IP68 water resistance and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 bring flagship-grade durability that was missing from earlier Nothing phones
• Glyph interface now supports third-party app notifications with custom patterns, making it genuinely useful beyond novelty

Samsung Galaxy A56 5G

The A56 5G impresses with a design that belies its mid-range pricing. The glass back and metal frame give it a premium feel, and reviewers consistently praise how it looks and feels more expensive than it is.

• Glass back and metal frame create a genuinely premium look and feel that rivals phones twice the price
• IP67 water and dust resistance is excellent to have at this price point
