I tested the Nothing Phone 3 — it's a fabulous phone, just not a flagship

The Phone 3 is Nothing's best phone yet — but it doesn't have what it takes to outshine its Chinese rivals.

Thankfully, there's Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 alongside the usual AptX codec suite, and I didn't see any issues making calls or connecting to my home network.
