About a month ago I needed a new phone. Not like I was trying to keep up with the Jones’s or anything. My phone was literally down to its last gasp of air. It was the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4 and I loved it for almost the entire time I had it, until the screen got all peely and it turned off every time I folded the phone closed. It was time so I narrowed my search down to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Motorola Razor Flip, and the Nothing Phone 3. I’d have to wait for the Nothing phone because at the time, the 3 wasn’t out yet. But I loved the idea of having something less ordinary. Peculiar. Plus am I the only one who misses a flashing light when there’s a text or email waiting for me to read it? The Nothing phones are known for having flashing lights when messages come in. Like the good ol’ days.
I couldn’t wait for the Nothing phone, though, because Verizon made me a great offer if I got the S25 Ultra. And I’m glad I took the offer because now that the Nothing 3 is out (it was my next choice, the Razor had mixed reviews and to be honest, I was tired of the flip phone life), the Nothing 3 doesn’t have the lights on the back anymore! It’s a shame because that’s a lot of what set it apart from all the other phones it competes with. Not only that, the asymmetry of the phone is pretty hideous. Just don’t let the owner of Nothing tell you otherwise. He comes across as little snooty but maybe he’s just an introvert. We’ll go with that until we have more info, right?
If you’re debating whether you want the S25 Ultra or something else, go with the Ultra. It’s got a few things that annoy me (notification pop-up style is impossible to configure properly!) but overall it’s an amazing phone with a lot of fun to be had. Plus, the camera is incredible with photos and video.
