The Nothing Phone 3 is available to pre-order – here's where to buy it
Nothing's Phone 3 looks a little different from its predecessors. The circular glyph matrix takes pride of place at the rear, next to an asymmetrical three-camera setup that's very like-it-or-hate-it. The white on black LEDs can flash up app notifications, countdown timers, and the current time when placed screen-down on a flat surface, as well as act as a pixellated selfie camera viewfinder.
It packs a triple-camera setup with three 50MP sensors: the main lens with OIS and f/1.68 aperture, a periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and AI-powered 60x 'super res,' and an ultrawide with a 114-degree field of view. All three cameras shoot 4K/60fps video, and Nothing's souped-up image pipeline promises sharper HDR, better portraits, and an action mode for fast shots. The phone comes in white or black, has Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, Victus on the back, slim bezels, IP68 water resistance, and a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen that reaches a blinding 4500 nits of peak brightness.
Under the hood, it's running on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, which is solid but not exactly top dog compared to pricier rivals. You'll get 12GB or 16GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB storage, a 5150mAh battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging, plus the firm's own monochrome-heavy Nothing OS 3.5. There's a promised upgrade to Android 16 and five years of software support.
Where to buy the Nothing Phone 3
If you're looking to get your hands on Nothing's latest budget smartphones, your best bet is going to be ordering directly or from third-party retailers. Unfortunately, the handsets aren't available on any carrier plans, so you'll need to purchase either device outright. For the first time, the Nothing Phone 3 is available for anyone to buy in the US without being part of the developer community.
In the UK, the device is up for grabs directly from Nothing. Phone 3 will set you back £799 for the base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Normally it would be £899 for the higher spec with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, but if you pre-order from Nothing it's £799 – making this model the better deal. As well as grabbing either handset straight from Nothing, the devices are also available from Amazon, Currys, John Lewis, and more. If you happen to be in London, the devices will be in stock at the brand's flagship Soho store as well.
Over in the US, the device is only up for grabs directly from Nothing for now. Phone 3 will set you back $799 for the base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Once again, while normally it would be $899 for the higher spec with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, if you pre-order from Nothing it's $799 – making this model the better deal.

Smarter laptops for sharper minds – meet the AI-powered PCs at Currys
Laptops aren't just laptops. They're powerful tools to help us work, create, and play, wherever we are. But they're not all made equal. Enter the latest generation of Copilot+ PCs with Intel® Core™ Ultra processors – all of which come supercharged with powerful AI features that are transforming how we write, call, browse, and create. And unlike some flashy tech fads that promise the future but deliver frustration, these notebooks truly deliver. Whether they're transcribing your notes in real time, or reducing background noise on an important call, they're quietly doing clever things without you even realising. Each one of these Copilot+ PCs is packed with purpose-built AI hardware – Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that take the strain off your processor and power new tools with impressive battery efficiency. You'll also find dedicated Copilot keys, giving you instant access to Microsoft's AI assistant with a single press. It's tech that adapts to how you work – not the other way around. With that said, here are five of the smartest picks available at Currys right now. Asus Zenbook S 14: ultra-thin power with AI at its core One of the thinnest and lightest Copilot+ PCs available, the Zenbook S 14 is a masterclass in AI-enabled productivity. Its powerful Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor includes a lightning-fast NPU for speeding up creative tasks like image editing and real-time voice transcription – with the added benefit of longer battery life thanks to efficient background processing. The dedicated Copilot key gives you instant access to Microsoft's AI assistant, while Asus' own AI suite handles cooling, audio tuning, and adaptive brightness. You also get a 3K OLED touchscreen that's perfect for pen input or pinch-and-zoom creativity, with cinema-grade visuals to boot. All that, in a body just 1.2 kg and 1.1 cm thick. Proof that power and portability aren't mutually exclusive. MSI Prestige 13 AI+ Evo: quietly clever, effortlessly efficient Some AI features are flashy. Others are quietly making everything better without you ever realising it. The Prestige 13 AI+ Evo is very much the latter – a laptop that uses AI to keep things cool, quiet, and distraction-free while you focus on your work. MSI's built-in AI Engine is designed to detect user activity and optimise performance or battery life accordingly. The AI Noise Cancellation Pro system also uses a trio of beamforming mics to isolate your voice and block out unwanted noise – perfect for busy video calls or remote collaboration. And because the neural engine built into the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor handles these background jobs efficiently, you still get up to 24 hours of battery life. At under 1kg, with a 2.8K OLED display and premium magnesium-aluminium build, this is a serious featherweight contender with heavyweight intelligence. Asus Vivobook S 14 OLED: smart features that won't break the bank AI on a budget doesn't have to mean shoddy results. The Vivobook S 14 OLED brings plenty of Copilot+ smarts to the table – including a dedicated Copilot key and deep Microsoft integration. It uses the same generation of Intel® Core™ Ultra processors as the more premium picks here, and matches them with 16 GB of RAM and Intel® Arc graphics for creative workflows and casual gaming. But what really sets it apart is how Asus uses AI to smooth your daily routine. Features like Asus' StoryCube – designed to help manage photos and videos – plus AI noise cancelling and AiSense webcam tech, all help to streamline day-to-day tasks and virtual meetings, while its AI noise cancelling and AiSense webcam tech keep you looking and sounding your best on video calls. Battery life runs up to 16 hours too, and the Full HD+ OLED screen is vivid and punchy for both work and play. Lenovo Yoga Slim 9: minimalist design, maximum intelligence The Yoga Slim 9 shows just how invisible great design can be – in the best possible way. There's no visible webcam on this 14in 4K OLED stunner, because Lenovo's tucked it discreetly behind the screen. It appears when you need it, disappears when you don't, and helps deliver one of the cleanest screen-to-body ratios ever seen on a laptop. It's part of what makes the Slim 9 feel so seamless – just like the way it handles AI-enhanced tasks behind the scenes. With 32 GB of RAM, an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 processor, and a dazzling DisplayHDR True Black panel, this is a laptop that's built for creative and professional users alike. Add in facial recognition for secure logins and a suite of Copilot features, and you've got a machine that's just as clever as it is elegant. Behind that sleek design is a powerhouse of intelligent computing. Intel's silicon handles demanding tasks, while the AI engine is designed to support features like screen optimisation and noise filtering. A fingerprint reader handles logins in seconds, and the 120 Hz refresh rate keeps every swipe and scroll silky smooth. Lightweight, sharp, and ideal for digital creatives who want AI to enhance their flow – not interrupt it. Overall, these aren't just laptops with an AI sticker slapped on the lid. They're fast, capable machines designed from the ground up to help you think faster, focus better, and get more done with less effort. Better yet, they're all available now at Currys.

Nothing's new CMF Watch 3 Pro is a serious fitness tracker at a surprisingly low price
Looking for a new fitness tracker to slap on your wrist? There are plenty of options to pick from, but they often run pretty expensive. If you're looking for a more budget option, fitness features are often to first to be left behind. But the new Watch 3 Pro from Nothing's sub-brand CMF takes a different approach. This smartwatch is less than $100/£100, but takes fitness tracking seriously. It adds plenty of new health-focused features and tech to act the part. Plus, it looks rather smart on your wrist. Read more: Best cheap fitness trackers in 2025 reviewed CMF's new budget smartwatch is ideal for the everyday lot and casual runners, packing specs that wouldn't look out of place on something twice the price. Dual-band GPS promises proper route tracking, a fancy new four-channel heart rate sensor offers improved accuracy, and AI-driven coaching supposedly adapts to your fitness level. Throw in over 130 sports modes and you've got a fitness tracking cocktail that seems suspiciously well thought out. There's also a decent helping of smarts here. The Watch 3 Pro can chat with ChatGPT should you want to, takes voice notes and transcribes them, and delivers a daily feed of curated news. You can even make Bluetooth calls and use gesture shortcuts, while receiving notifications from your phone. I also appreciate the addition of a second mic for better call clarity. Looks-wise, CMF has gone for the whole minimalist-industrial thing again. The watch comes in Dark Grey, Light Grey, and a very loud Orange, with a metal case that doesn't scream budget. There's also a bigger, better AMOLED screen with thinner bezels – apparently offering 10% more screen than the previous model. You can pick from over 120 custom watch faces, including the ability to slap a video on your wrist if that's your style. Battery life's no slouch either. CMF reckons you'll get up to 13 days out of it, or around 4.5 if you've got everything turned on and glowing. Charging is a 99-minute affair, which is oddly specific, but impressive nonetheless. The best part is that you get all this for only $99/£99/€99. You can order it today directly from Nothing and third-party retailers. It's coming to even more countries later in the year.

Work, create, play, repeat: the ultimate all-rounder laptops are ready at Currys
Do you kick off your day bashing out emails over coffee? How about your afternoons? Wading through pre-sheets and client decks? And when it's time to clock off, do you unwind by editing your snaps, with some gaming and streaming thrown in for good measure? Sorry to bombard you with questions. If that all sounds remotely familiar, you need a machine that doesn't force you to choose between power, flexibility, and stamina. You need a laptop that's built to handle work, creativity, and play – sometimes all at once. Enter Curry's. It's stocking a new generation of Copilot+ PCs – ultra-capable Windows 11 laptops powered by Intel Core® Ultra™ processors – that are built to confidently handle whatever you care to throw at them. Whether you're plugging in for a full day of deep work, sketching out ideas on a touchscreen, or propped on the sofa with a film and your second packet of chocolate Hobnobs (no judgement here), these machines are made to keep up. With that in mind, we've rounded up some of the best laptops that deliver on all fronts – and you'll find them all now at Currys. ASUS Zenbook S 14: built for balance Light enough to carry all day, and powerful enough to handle practically anything, the Zenbook S 14 is a brilliantly balanced machine for people who jump between tasks and tools without missing a beat. At just 1.2 kg and a staggering 1.1 cm thin, it's a veritable featherweight. And yet, beneath its sleek chassis beats the power of an Intel Core® Ultra™ 7 processor with integrated Intel® Arc™ graphics, 32 GB of RAM, and a generous 1 TB SSD. A Tetris-worthy marvel. It's the screen that makes it a creative standout, though. The 14in 3K OLED panel is sharp, bright, and calibrated for colour accuracy – making it ideal for photographers, designers, or anyone who likes their Netflix served with richer blacks and punchy colours. The 120 Hz refresh rate brings silky-smooth scrolling and gaming prowess, while the touchscreen lets you swipe, tap, and zoom through projects with pinpoint precision. And if your workday involves bouncing between browser tabs, image edits, and presentations, this is the laptop that makes it all feel effortless. With up to 12 hours of battery life per charge, it'll stay with you through early starts and late finishes without biting the dust. How's that for peace of mind? MSI Prestige 13 AI+ Evo: creative power in your palm The MSI Prestige 13 AI+ Evo is what happens when you pump all your stats into performance and portability. It's not just light – it's under a kilo – and yet somehow still manages to squeeze in a 2.8K OLED display, a 1 TB SSD, 32 GB of RAM, and an Intel Core® Ultra™7 processor – complete with Intel® Arc™ GPU for accelerated video editing, rendering, and real-time creative previews. Phew. Whether you're slicing through footage, sketching out concepts, or just hopping between Excel and Illustrator, the Prestige 13 delivers snappy performance with zero fuss. Its high-resolution screen brings crisp detail and vibrant colours too, making it ideal for creative apps or just kicking back with a film when the workday's over. And with a full-HD webcam, three-mic array, and AI-powered noise cancellation, it's equally well-equipped for video calls – even if you're working from a busy café. Best of all, the battery just keeps going. You can get up to 24 hours of runtime from a single charge – long enough to work, play, and maybe even squeeze in a comforting episode or two of Friends before bed. ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED: versatility with attitude For creators on a budget – or anyone who just wants a sharp, dependable all-rounder – the ASUS Vivobook S 14 OLED is a smart choice. It's powered by an Intel Core® Ultra™5 processor and backed by Intel® Arc™ graphics and 16 GB of RAM, so whether you're editing photos, building decks, or playing the odd indie game, it can take the strain. You get a spacious 512 GB SSD too, with fast boot and load times for all your apps and files. The star of the show here though, is the screen. A Full HD+ OLED panel delivers inky blacks and bold contrast, and the 16:10 aspect ratio means more vertical space for working and browsing. It's slim, light, and stylish enough to carry into meetings or lectures, and quiet enough to double as a late-night binge-watching machine. You'll get up to 16 hours of battery life on a charge as well, so it won't run out of steam halfway through any major plot twists. All in all, a proper do-it-all machine that won't break your back – or your budget. Lenovo Yoga Slim 9: a premium experience, front to back The Lenovo Yoga Slim 9 isn't just a laptop. It's a statement. With a sculpted glass finish, an almost bezel-free 14in display, and camera hidden beneath the screen(!), it's an ultra-sleek creative powerhouse with zero compromise on performance. Inside, there's an Intel Core® Ultra™ 7 processor, integrated Intel® Arc™ graphics, 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of SSD storage – everything you need to power through work, design, and entertainment shenanigans. Its PureSight Pro OLED screen is a formidable sight to behold too – a 4K resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and DisplayHDR True Black 600 certification all combine to deliver exceptional detail and contrast. In short, if you're juggling spreadsheets in the morning, sketching ideas after lunch, and watching films at night, this is a screen that's more than ready to bring it all to life. Its touchscreen interface responds quickly and accurately as well, with enough clarity and fluidity to support stylus input for note-taking or digital doodling. And, despite all that power, it weighs just 1.2 kg – so you can take it anywhere (and look the business in the process). One device. Endless possibilities. Work, create, or play, these Intel Core® Ultra™ processors – powered Copilot+ PCs are built to support you through it all. They're light enough to follow you anywhere, smart enough to adapt to the task at hand, and powerful enough to do it all without breaking a sweat. Whether you're deep into a creative project, breezing through admin, hopping on a call, or just kicking back with a film or game, these laptops are ready to keep up. If that sounds good, then you'll find them all now at Currys. And if you're lucky, a few might even be available at a discount. Enjoy!
