The Nothing Phone 3 is available to pre-order – here's where to buy it
Nothing's Phone 3 looks a little different from its predecessors. The circular glyph matrix takes pride of place at the rear, next to an asymmetrical three-camera setup that's very like-it-or-hate-it. The white on black LEDs can flash up app notifications, countdown timers, and the current time when placed screen-down on a flat surface, as well as act as a pixellated selfie camera viewfinder.
It packs a triple-camera setup with three 50MP sensors: the main lens with OIS and f/1.68 aperture, a periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and AI-powered 60x 'super res,' and an ultrawide with a 114-degree field of view. All three cameras shoot 4K/60fps video, and Nothing's souped-up image pipeline promises sharper HDR, better portraits, and an action mode for fast shots. The phone comes in white or black, has Gorilla Glass 7i on the front, Victus on the back, slim bezels, IP68 water resistance, and a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen that reaches a blinding 4500 nits of peak brightness.
Under the hood, it's running on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, which is solid but not exactly top dog compared to pricier rivals. You'll get 12GB or 16GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB storage, a 5150mAh battery with 65W wired and 15W wireless charging, plus the firm's own monochrome-heavy Nothing OS 3.5. There's a promised upgrade to Android 16 and five years of software support.
Where to buy the Nothing Phone 3
If you're looking to get your hands on Nothing's latest budget smartphones, your best bet is going to be ordering directly or from third-party retailers. Unfortunately, the handsets aren't available on any carrier plans, so you'll need to purchase either device outright. For the first time, the Nothing Phone 3 is available for anyone to buy in the US without being part of the developer community.
In the UK, the device is up for grabs directly from Nothing. Phone 3 will set you back £799 for the base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Normally it would be £899 for the higher spec with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, but if you pre-order from Nothing it's £799 – making this model the better deal. As well as grabbing either handset straight from Nothing, the devices are also available from Amazon, Currys, John Lewis, and more. If you happen to be in London, the devices will be in stock at the brand's flagship Soho store as well.
Over in the US, the device is only up for grabs directly from Nothing for now. Phone 3 will set you back $799 for the base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Once again, while normally it would be $899 for the higher spec with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, if you pre-order from Nothing it's $799 – making this model the better deal.

The Nothing Phone 3 is available to pre-order – here's where to buy it
After releasing the Phone 3a and 3a Pro budget smartphones earlier this year, Nothing has shown off its latest handset. With a starting price of $799/£799, Nothing is putting this device in flagship territory, and it looks like it comes with the chops to match. The new smartphone is available to pre-order from today, and will begin shipping out to customers later this month. Nothing's Phone 3 looks a little different from its predecessors.

One of the best portable speakers now sounds better and lasts for longer
One of the undisputed kings of rock 'n' roll sound, Marshall's speakers are some of the best portable speakers for audio buffs. The Middleton is one of the best you can buy, and its smaller size makes it perfect to take on the go. And thanks to this second-gen model, the speaker sounds even better and lasts for longer. Marshall's Middleton II speaker is louder, tougher, and now plays for over 30 hours straight. The speaker gets proper 360-degree sound, which Marshall's calling it 'True Stereophonic.' It's designed so it doesn't matter where you're standing – audio should sound just as good. Bass gets deeper, highs are clearer, and it holds together even when you crank it, which, let's face it, you will. Visually, Middleton II sticks with the amp-inspired look, but there's been a bit of a glow-up. The new control knob is now multidirectional, so you can play, pause, skip tracks, answer calls, or mess with the volume by just twisting and pressing. And this speaker's built like a tank. IP67-rated means dust and water aren't an issue. It'll survive your pool parties, muddy fields, or whatever fresh chaos you throw at it. Marshall's also added a built-in mic for hands-free calls – thought it's not clear if there's any noise reduction at play. This speaker even offers the ability to use it as a power bank, which is one of my favourite features. The Middleton II even supports LE Audio, which is tech-speak for better Bluetooth efficiency and sound. Basically, your battery lasts longer and your music sounds crisper. The Marshall Middleton II is available to order directly from Marshall now. Or, you'll be able to nab it from third-party retailers like Amazon from 15 July. Pricing is set at $330/£260/€299.

My favourite iPad is $100 off in this early Prime Day deal
The iPad mini might be small in stature, but the latest model packs a mighty punch. In fact, it's my favourite iPad (and one of the best iPads you can buy) thanks to its portability. Apple's pint-sized powerhouse comes with refreshed internals and a design that makes it as pocketable as it is practical. And its even more of a steal with this Amazon deal ahead of the mega Prime Day sale. During Amazon's Spring Sale, the iPad mini (A17 Pro) is discounted by $100 from $499 to $399 – that's a rather excellent 20% saving on this top-rated tablet. On Amazon UK, there's a much smaller discount of £30 – taking the small tablet down from £499 to £469. I suspect the UK discount will grow when Prime Day actually hits, so British shoppers should hold off for the time being. At its core, the iPad mini 7 now packs the A17 Pro chip – the same powerhouse found in the iPhone 15 Pro. Compared to the A15 chip in the previous model, the jump in performance is substantial. Day-to-day tasks like browsing Safari with dozens of tabs open, switching between apps, and handling emails feel snappier than ever. Design-wise, Apple hasn't messed with the winning formula. The iPad mini 7 retains the sleek, Air-inspired aesthetic – an all-screen front, flat edges, and Touch ID integrated into the power button. At just 293g (Wi-Fi model), it's absurdly light and compact, slipping easily into a jacket pocket or a small bag. It's still the best iPad for one-handed use, whether reading in bed, annotating PDFs on the go, or using it as a high-tech clipboard in meetings. Connectivity has stepped up as well. Wi-Fi 6E ensures blazing-fast browsing and streaming, while the optional 5G model is great for those who need ultra-portable internet. The USB-C port remains, offering fast charging and seamless accessory compatibility, making the iPad mini even more versatile.
