Nothing Phone 3 price in India further deteriorates due to less sales. It is officially available to purchase for Rs.40,000 (~450$) without using any bank offer or any exchange offer.

Phone 3 was launched in July for Rs.85,000 (~950$) and when the sale started on 23rd September, it came down to Rs. 50,000 (~575$) and now after 1 week of sale, the price is further decreased by Rs.10,000 (~120$)

Never seen a modern flagship smartphone lose 50% value officially in 3 months and all those who exchanged their old devices to get it at this price have been scammed successfully 🥀

Ok so its a crypto scam
Wild 💀😭

Thus, the grokipedia post has been deleted

Nothing Team scammed their loyal Nothing Phone 1 and Phone 2 users.

When the sale started, just a week ago, Carl Pei advertised that Phone 3 will be available for around Rs.35,000 to users who exchange their Phone 1 and Phone 2. Nothing advertised it so much such that they even pushed the offers through System notification on Phone 1 and Phone 2

So people utilized that offer and exchanged their Phone 1 and Phone 2 devices just to find that "only one week later", the same Phone 3 could be purchased for the same price without exchanging their old device.

RIP Exynos;
Tensor G1 (2021) - Tensor G5 (2025) 🪦🥀

​It's fair to say that Google's Exynos-backed Tensor era is actually coming to an end – day by day.

With the Tensor G5 being the very first Google-made SOC produced by TSMC, the most well-known competitor to Samsung Foundries, it seems like Google is now preparing for another major shift.

We will be straight: Tensor G6 (codenamed: Malibu) is full of surprises, including a brand-new modem, currently undergoing early internal testing.

We're talking about the - latest and greatest - MediaTek M90, unveiled at the MWC2025.

This modem is significantly faster and more energy-efficient compared to the current Tensor G5's modem, the Exynos 5400(i), featuring top-of-the-class features and record-breaking network speeds, possibly putting an end to Google Pixel's notoriously bad battery life as early as next year.

While it's still too early for definitive conclusions, what's your take? Comment down below!

Oh, and, stay tuned for more Tensor G6 & Pixel 11 news, we've a lot more for you 👀
