Nothing Phone (3)
Nothing doubles down on its transparent aesthetic with a refined Glyph interface, premium materials, and IP68 durability.
Xiaomi 15
A premium compact flagship at 152.3 x 71.2 x 8.08mm and 191g with an aviation-grade aluminum frame and IP68 water resistance. It looks and feels genuinely premium, though several reviewers noted it's almost identical to the Xiaomi 14.

Nothing Phone (3)
A sharp 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED with 120Hz and up to 2,000 nits peak brightness delivers a smooth, vibrant viewing experience.
Xiaomi 15
The 6.36-inch 1.5K LTPO OLED is sharp, vibrant, and incredibly bright at 3,200 nits peak (tested up to 3,593 nits HDR). Ultra-narrow 1.38mm bezels and high-frequency PWM dimming above 3,000Hz round out an excellent display package, though OLED smear at lower brightness is a noted concern.
Nothing Phone (3)
The triple camera system co-developed with Samsung is a major upgrade, though processing still trails the best in challenging conditions.
Xiaomi 15
The triple 50MP Leica system shines with its main sensor and improved 2.6x telephoto, earning a DxOMark score of 146. Leica color profiles produce natural, pleasing images with excellent dynamic range. The ultrawide camera is the clear weakness, with noticeably more noise in low light and no autofocus.
Nothing Phone (3)
Snapdragon 8 Elite puts the Nothing Phone (3) in the same performance tier as Samsung Galaxy S25 and OnePlus 13.
Xiaomi 15
The Snapdragon 8 Elite with 12GB RAM delivers flagship-tier performance that's smooth and snappy for everyday use, gaming, and multitasking. However, the compact body struggles to dissipate heat under sustained loads, causing notable thermal throttling during extended gaming sessions.
