Black Friday proper is a few weeks away, but we’re already seeing some great deals on the best Android phones on the market; the best I’ve seen so far might be for the weird and wonderful Nothing Phone 3, which you can now get for $678.99 at Amazon US and £629 at Amazon UK.

In a rare alignment of the Black Friday deals cosmos, the Nothing Phone 3 is discounted in both its 256GB variant and 512GB variant in both the US and UK. In the UK specifically, Amazon has sneakily undercut Nothing’s own Black Friday sale prices by £20 on the model with 256GB of storage and £30 on the model with 512GB of storage. Let’s take a look at the deals.
Today’s best Nothing Phone 3 Black Friday deals
The Nothing Phone 3 is a weird and wonderful contender from an outsider phone brand that already offers great value for money at its usual retail price, thanks to a robust camera system, large battery, and unique design. Both the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage and 16GB RAM + 512GB storage models are discounted. View Deal
In the UK, Amazon has undercut Nothing’s own Black Friday price for its flagship model on both the 256GB and 512GB storage models, which must be annoying at Nothing HQ, but is very good news for potential customers. Though the phone lacks a properly flagship-grade chipset, its triple-camera system and head-turning design will make up for it for a certain kind of user; if that’s you, now is the time to buy.

The Nothing Phone 3 is the company’s first undeniably “flagship” phone – Nothing made a big deal of that title when it launched the handset earlier this year. Equipped with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, 12GB or 16GB of RAM (tied to storage), and a triple 50MP camera system with 3x optical zoom, the Nothing Phone 3 looks to contend with the likes of the iPhone 17 and Samsung Galaxy S25.
But what you’ll notice first about the Nothing Phone 3 is its one-of-a-kind design – this is a properly unique-looking phone that builds on the qualities of its predecessors, with intentionally misaligned cameras and a quirky rear-mounted “glyph display” dot-matrix interface.
The Nothing Phone 3 doesn’t have quite the same processing power as its mainstream rivals, but does offer a lot for even its usual retail price of $799 / £799 / AU$1,509. As well as the aforementioned triple camera system, it has a 6.67-inch display, a 5,150mAh battery, and support for 65W charging.
We went hands-on with the Nothing Phone 3 just after launch, finding it to be an “abstract, asymmetrical vibe” of a handset. Nothing fans also swear by the clean and simple Nothing OS Android wrapper, though the brand has faced some controversy recently for its handling of the software experience. Still, this remains a strong contender from a quirky outsider brand.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro: free with a new unlimited line at Verizon
Moving on to the iPhone 17 Pro, Verizon’s current Black Friday deal lets you take this device home for free without the usual trade-in criteria. You will still need a new line on the carrier’s higher-end Ultimate unlimited plan, but this is a huge $30 per month saving on this stunning flagship. Unfortunately, you can’t bundle in a free iPad and Apple Watch here (like with the standard iPhone 17), but this is still one of the best Verizon deals yet on a device that we rate massively.
