Figures as published (August 1, 2026). Prices written in the article text are our catalog's figures when it was written, and prices move — each phone's current price and its status (observed with a date, or an estimate) are on its page and in the “Phones mentioned” cards below, and any device or brand count above belongs to that date.
Nothing is a relatively new British brand, founded by one of the co-founders of OnePlus, with its first phone landing in 2022. Since then we have logged 13 devices, priced from JOD 95 up to JOD 459. It is not a giant like the big names, and that is part of the story: you are buying something that looks different, but you are also buying it on different terms.
The transparent back and the Glyph lights
What sets Nothing apart before any spec sheet is the look: a transparent back that shows off the internal design, and a Glyph light strip that flashes for notifications, calls and timers. In practice it is more visual flourish than function. It can genuinely help if you leave the phone face-down in meetings, and it can just as easily become background noise after two weeks. If you put a normal case on from day one, you are paying for something you will never see.
The second half of the pitch is Nothing OS: a clean interface with none of the preloaded clutter and ads you get from other skins at the same price. That suits anyone who wants a quiet, simple phone. The flip side is that if you are used to feature-heavy interfaces with tools baked in, Nothing will feel a bit empty.
The prices: JOD 95 to JOD 459
- Nothing Phone (3) — JOD 459 (up to JOD 539 depending on the version), our performance index 88, Snapdragon 8s Gen4, a 6.67-inch OLED 1.5K screen at 165Hz, a 5150mAh battery, a 50+50+50 camera set with a 50MP front camera, and 12GB of RAM.
- Nothing Phone (4a) Pro — JOD 399, index 66, Snapdragon 7 Gen4, a 6.83-inch AMOLED 1.5K screen at 144Hz, a 5080mAh battery and 50+50+8 cameras.
- Nothing Phone (4b) — JOD 259, index 54, Snapdragon 6 Gen4, the biggest battery in the family at 5200mAh and a 6.77-inch screen at 165Hz, but only a 50+8 camera and a 16MP front camera.
- Nothing Phone (2) — JOD 185, index 77, Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 and a 6.7-inch screen at 165Hz. A 2023 phone whose numbers still hold up.
- Nothing CMF Phone 1 — JOD 115, index 54, Dimensity 7300, a 6.67-inch AMOLED at 165Hz, a single 50MP camera and 6GB of RAM.
On raw numbers alone, Nothing Phone (2) at JOD 185 with an index of 77 delivers the most performance per dinar in the whole family, more than Nothing Phone (4a) Pro at JOD 399 with an index of 66. The catch is age: it is an older device, so battery wear and years on the clock belong in the calculation. One more thing applies across the range: every recent phone on the list charges at 33W, including Nothing Phone (3) at the top of the price list. If fast charging is a priority for you, Nothing is not leading the field here.
The CMF line is the brand's budget arm, starting at JOD 115 with Nothing CMF Phone 1. Just above it, CMF Phone 2 Pro sits at JOD 169 with a Dimensity 7300 Pro and 50+50+8 cameras. The idea is that you get an AMOLED screen and a 5000mAh battery for very little, in exchange for clear compromises: a 16MP front camera and simpler materials. At that price it is a sensible pick for a second phone or a first phone for a school-age kid.
Warranty before looks
Nothing does not have the broad official presence the big brands do, and units usually arrive through importers and local sale listings. The price can look good, but you lose things that matter: an authorised warranty, a service centre nearby, and spare parts if the screen breaks. Before you pay, ask directly who the warranty is from, how long it runs, and where the phone gets repaired if something fails. Watch availability too, since quantities are limited and the colour or storage version you want is not always around. In short: Nothing suits someone who wants a phone that looks different with clean software and is willing to deal with the import route. If you want a phone you can buy and forget with a guaranteed warranty behind it, look elsewhere.

The figures here are computed from the Phones JO catalog itself — specifications taken from manufacturers’ official announcements, and prices from dated observation runs of OpenSooq listings for new units.
