Nothing Phone (3) vs Samsung Galaxy S25 FE

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 S25 FE

The S25 FE adopts the flat-edge design language of the S25 series, giving it a modern, premium look. However, build quality concerns have emerged, with the polycarbonate back and Gorilla Glass Victus scratching more easily than expected.

• Flat-edge design mirrors the mainline S25 series — it looks like a flagship from the outside
• IP68 water and dust resistance is a welcome inclusion at this price tier
