I actually prefer budget phones to flagships — but there's one thing phone makers need to fix
I'm a big fan of phones will small price tags. That's partly a reflection of my inherent cheapness — you'll have to use a crowbar to pry a dollar bill free from my wallet — but it's also an acknowledgment of a simple truth: the very best cheap phones can do nearly everything a flagship device can do these days. That's not to say you won't have to make compromises in some areas. Screamingly fast processors are generally reserved for more expensive phones, though unless you're regularly using demanding apps or graphically intensive games, you'll likely be just fine with the good-enough chipsets found in cheaper phones. More expensive models also benefit from better camera hardware and more extensive AI support, but there are enough lower-cost phones that hold their own in camera comparisons to make that trade-off less noticeable. As for AI, well, if you consider that feature a must-have for your phone, feel free to spend big on the latest flagships. For most people, though, AI-powered capabilities are a nice-to-have, not an essential part of the smartphone experience. That said, there remains one area where cheaper phones are clearly at a disadvantage. And it simply doesn't need to be that way. Cheap phones need more extensive software support from their device makers. That's especially true in this era where people want to hold on to their phones for longer, for reasons relating to both budgets and the environment. Our pick for the best cheap phone available right now — Google's Pixel 9a — stands out as a model of what phones under $500 could offer their users. Buy a Pixel 9a, and Google promises to deliver seven years of software and security updates. Notably, that's the same level of support you'd enjoy if you paid up for a flagship Pixel. But the Pixel 9a is clearly an outlier when it comes to software support. Scour the other sub-$500 phones we recommend, and you're not going to find any matching Google's pledge. Phone Price Software updates Security updates Google Pixel 9a $499 7 years 7 years Samsung Galaxy A36 $399 6 years 6 years iPhone 16e $599 5 years (unofficial) 5 years (unofficial) OnePlus 13R $599 4 years 6 years Nothing Phone 3a Pro $459 3 years 6 years Nothing Phone 3a $379 3 years 6 years Moto G Power 2025 $299 2 years 3 years Moto G 2025 $199 2 years 3 years The Nothing Phone 3a and Nothing Phone 3a Pro are both fine low-cost alternatives to the Pixel 9a, particularly when you consider that Nothing equips its phones with dedicated telephoto lenses. But both devices are only set to receive 3 years of Android updates, along with an additional 2 years of security support. Samsung's Galaxy A series of midrange devices come the closest to matching what Google offers Pixel 9a buyers. A Galaxy A36 phone receives 6 years of software and security updates, as well the Galaxy A56 when that phone ships in the U.S. later this year. (It's currently available in other parts of the world with that six-year guarantee, though.) Motorola brings up the rear, as its latest Moto G phones feature 2 years of Android updates and a third year of security support. That's actually a step up from the 2024 Moto G series, which only supported one Android update. Expand your search to phones that cost a little more than $500, and you'll see some more extensive support — though Google still sets the pace. The $599 iPhone 16e gets the same access to iOS updates as Apple's other iPhone 16 models, which should mean at least 5 years, though recent iPhone models have been able to count on longer support. The OnePlus 13R — a terrific midrange model — limits Android updates to 4 years, though you do get six years of security support with that phone. If you're buying a cheaper phone, it's likely because you don't want to spend $799 or more on a smartphone, which you'd have to do by turning to a flagship. But when phone makers cap the software support on a device, you're not getting as much value from your low-cost purchase as you should. Let's say you buy a Moto G 2025 — and why not since you get epic battery life, a stylish design and surprisingly good camera performance in a $199 device. But you'll also run into Motorola's limited software support, which means Android 17 is the last update you'll be able to count on. Maybe having the latest OS isn't as much of a priority to you, but even if you hold on to the Moto G until security updates run out, you'll still be looking for a new phone by 2028. And those seemingly low-cost purchases start to add up. There's more than just frugality at stake here. Even with phone makers using more recycled materials for their devices, it's generally a more earth-friendly approach to space out your phone upgrades even longer than you are now. Extending software support is a seemingly easy way to build more sustainable devices. I think phone makers are starting to recognize this. As noted Motorola's 2025 Moto G phones have better support than their predecessors, and that's not the only company moving in the right direction. Samsung used to cut off support for its Galaxy A phones at 4 years instead of 6. The OnePlus 13R's software support policy is more generous than what OnePlus offered for the OnePlus 12R. And both the Nothing Phone 3a and 3a Pro get an extra 2 years of security support compared to the Nothing Phone 2a. And Nothing has already confirmed that the Nothing Phone 3 is getting 5 years of Android updates plus seven years of security support. These are welcome changes, and I hope to see the trend continue with future phone releases. There should certainly be clear distinctions between flagship phones and more affordable models. But how long you're able to keep your phone shouldn't be one of those differences.

Nothing Phone 3 specs leak claims 3 key upgrades are coming — what we know
The Nothing Phone 3 is claimed to be the company's first true flagship phone. However, the truth of that claim depends entirely on the device's specifications. Thankfully, a recent leak on X by relatively unknown leaker Gadget Bits (via Android Authority) has given us an idea of the possible specs. According to their post, the Nothing Phone 3 will feature a 6.7-inch LTPO display with a 1.5k resolution. While this might be the same size as the current Nothing Phone 2's 1080p OLED display, the new display should offer more detail better power efficiency thanks to an LTPO display's ability to use variable refresh rates. Alongside the screen, the leak states that the Nothing Phone 3 will be coming with a 50MP main camera, a 50MP periscope camera with 3x zoom, a 50MP ultrawide camera and a 50MP front camera. The Nothing Phone 2, in comparison, features a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide and a 32MP main camera, with no telephoto camera at all. The rumored camera loadout for the Phone 3 is closer to the cameras we saw on the Nothing Phone 3a Pro, although that phone's ultrawide camera was only 8MP. 🚨 ExclusiveNothing Phone (3)- 6.7" 1.5k OLED LTPO display- 50mp + 50mp 3x periscope + 50mp UW- 50mp front- 5150mAh battery (typ) + 100W charging- Wireless + reverse wireless charging- NFC, eSIM- Nothing OS 3.5 on Android 15- Snapdragon 8s Gen 4Launching on July 1st 21, 2025 The next thing to take note of is that the phone will supposedly feature a 5,150 mAh battery, which is larger than any of the other phones in Nothing's roster. This larger battery, when combined with the power-saving screen, could help the Nothing Phone 3 find a place on our best phone battery life list. On top of that, the leaks state that the Nothing Phone 3 will feature 100W charging, which is a marked improvement from the 45W seen on the Nothing Phone 2, and the 50W featured on the newer Nothing Phone 3a. While some might have hoped that Nothing would include the Snapdragon 8 Elite, Nothing Co-founder Carl Pei recently confirmed in a YouTube video that the phone will feature the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. While we haven't had a chance to test a phone with this chip, Pei indicated that the Nothing Phone 3 will be faster and offer better performance than the Nothing Phone 2 and its Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. We also have a good idea of what the phone is going to cost users in the U.S., thanks to a recent leak on Bluesky. When Nothing first teased the device during Google I/O, it was stated that the phone would cost £800 in the U.K. The leak states that the phone will cost $799 for the base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Meanwhile, the 16GB/512GB configuration will cost around $899. The Nothing Phone 3 is looking to be a marked improvement over the current models, at least if this leak is accurate. However, it's always worth taking anything like this with some healthy scepticism, especially if it's from a relatively unknown source.

Nothing Phone 3 will not come with LED Glyph lights but there's something new
The Nothing Phone 3 launch countdown has begun, with just a few days left until the official debut on July 1. The UK-based smartphone brand has been teasing the launch for a few weeks, providing a small glimpse of its first 'true flagship' phone. This year, Nothing is killing the Glyph Interface, which was introduced in both the Phone 1 and Phone 2 models. Now, the company has started to tease a new rear panel element called 'Glyph Matric,' which has a dotted matrix-style lighting. This will likely give the smartphone a whole new look and feel, and we are being honest, this move may be adopted positively among the buyers. Therefore, if you have been waiting to get your hands on the Nothing Phone 3 model, then here's everything you need to know. Also read: Nothing Phone 3a Pro vs Nothing Phone 2a Plus: Is it the upgrade you have been waiting for? Nothing has shared a new teaser on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), revealing that it's replacing the Glyph Interface with the new Glyphic Matrix. The post caption said, 'When lights become language', with the teasing showcasing dotted LED lights on the top right corner of the smartphone. This new revelation gave slight hope to fans about the design, but the placement of the Glyphic Matrix does not match the tipped design render of the Phone 3 model. There are also assumptions around the internet that the leaked Phone 3 design was simply a prototype for the Phone 3a Pro model. Also read: Nothing Phone 3a vs Phone 3a Pro: Which model offers better value, features, and performance? As of now, Nothing has revealed the purpose or functioning of the Glyph Matrix, but we expect it to be customisable. Therefore, we may have to wait until launch to know how this design revelation will work out for the Nothing Phone 3 model. Alongside the new Glyph Matrix, Nothing has also revealed that the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 will power the Phone 3, bringing 5 years of software updates and 7 years of security patches. We also expect to see AI-powered features and greater integration into the Nothing OS. Also read: Nothing Phone 3a Pro Unboxing: First look at the design Reportedly, the Nothing Phone 3 is expected to be priced at $799 in the US. However, in India, the price of the smartphone could cost around Rs.68000 in India for the base storage variant. The smartphone could offer a 12GB RAM + 256GB and 16GB + 512GB storage option during launch.
