It's a UK brand , u cant expect it to be sold like China spec price , if compared to iphone , for western people it consider cheap

That is because China making some crazy phone around these year with great spec and great price , even samsung can't compete the spec and price with china phone anymore.


But if u compared to Pixel 9 Pro , the chip they use consider better alot than pixel....

Bro , Made in India but their company base on UK , must understand bro , just like Tesla car was manufacture in China but stil it's a western company.

So a product from western company wont be as cheap and as good spec as china base company , but if u compared Western vs Western company , the cost at $799 which is actually consider "CHEAP" at their country , u can't compared it with Xiaomi , Oppo , Vivo , because they are mainly compete with their own western country like the iphone / pixel / motorola.


iphone 16 pro 256gb - $1199 (A18pro)
pixel 9 pro 256gb - $1099 (Tensor G4)
samsung s25 ultra - $1299.99 (8Elite Galaxy)
motorola Edge 50 Ultra - $1099 (8sgen3)
One Plus 13 12gb/256gb - $899.99 (8Elite)
Nothing phone 3 - $799 (8sgen4)

Base on USA Official Retail Price


In their own country , it consider as "CHEAP" phone , in here we feel expensive because we have Xiaomi , redmi , poco , realme , iqoo , oppo , honor , vivo of choice. So have to understand the marketing , western brand never CHEAP one la just like Volvo , merc , BMW . mana ada good spec with cheap price one.


If u ask me , the real OVERPRICE flagship phone that not worth the money was the Sony Xperia 1 VII

So u talking those release almost 6 month phone to VS just release phone? To be fair , compared apple to apple , Retail Price vs Retail Price, if u want to talk about DISCOUNTED price , there was never END Story.


U guys saying Nothing Phone was over price , yes if u compared to CHINA phone , it easily OVERPRICE in HERE , Why? Because we are lucky enough that we got alot of choice over here , but for WESTERN country , the choice was limited , they either go for Iphone , Samsung or Pixel , xiaomi Ultra wasnt cheap too at the western market , so the $799 isnt "OVER PRICE" for them , understand the words and what i;m trying to send here , at the end NOTHING was a brand from UK , do u expect they give u 8Elite Plus triple 50mp Sensor camera at $799 ? They know the MATH bro and they know the MARKET , if they put in 8Elite into their phone , it will be pricing at least $999 at the western market.


I already list the price list over there , make your own summary , which phone have 8 Elite Plus triple 50mp sensor camera at $799 on WESTERN market?

Even the cheapest Samsung S25 $779.99 was only give u 8Elite Plus 50mp+12mp+10mp , that not even close to the Nothing Phone 3 triple 50mp camera.



If u want to talk about CONSUMER MINDSET , why China Phone selling so cheap price at CHINA but after masuk malaysia market the price different was so huge? Then why u stil supporting Global unit as they marking up so high profit in here? Why dont u making loud sound to protest at the road because of the over pricing China phone in malaysia? LOL


Vivo S30 Pro mini 12+512 selling at 3799 YUAN = RM2253 but Vivo X200FE 12+512 retail RM3199 in malaysia
Iphone 16 pro max $1199 x RM4.3 = RM5155.70 but retail at RM5999 in malaysia
Nothing phone 3 $799 x RM4.3 = RM3435.70 but retail at Rm3299 yet kena say over price

Math fail?

Highly agree on this point , sometime people too concert about software support , let me tell u , u wont be happy on the latest software on your old phone especially your phone SoC arent into flagship level , it will slow down your phone and drain your battery quickly , promise of security update will be more important than the major update , the best OS for your phone was actually the one out of box , because that the only OS fully optimize for your phone , and most of the time major update on old phone wont get great optimization and causing alot of problem.

In my opinion , 2 year Major OS stil usable , max 3 , even my fren who using iphone 14 pro max regret of updating to iOS18 because the stupid photo album + battery drain , imagine once iOS26 came out with liquid glass , do u think it will ok on iphone 14promax?

Trust me , no any OS will be better than straight out of box.
