Hey so a lil confused about this two devices. They are now going for similar prices. Cannot make up my mind about which one would be better. And everywhere it seems reviews comparison was between one plus 13 and nothing 3 because of the initial pricing for nothing.
These are my needs
Don’t care about cameras or ai features.
For this budget not caring for camera is a sin!
I own a mirrorless setup that I am pretty satisfied with. So my phone gets used for only some random snaps.
how are you even comparing these two phones. I understand NP3 was going to 39k for sometime but now they are back to original price and quite more than 13R.
My preference is NP3 if the final cost is around 35K.
Been using 13r for 20 days and the battery life is just so great i don’t have to charge my phone everyday,camera on the other hand is decent at best,performs surprisingly good under low light but is okayish in everything else, cellular reception is also really great
So tbh I just asked because I am not exactly sure how to judge the nothing 3. Have seen the reviews but most compare it to the one plus 13 and not 13r and conclude that op 13 is better and np 3 is overpriced.
Looking at the specs (And I maybe wrong and please correct me in that case) - one plus has better battery and display and nothing has better processor. So I am not exactly sure how to judge them. Hence the post. Also I am okayish with either of the softwares though nothing looks cooler.
Also prices are genuinely similar last I checked.
I’d take the np3 for 35k
i will change my purchase decision just by looking that ugly back camera design on both devices. top of that both has shitty ui, childish fingerprint, charging animations.,
I have used nothing ui based phone in my home. Yes it in clean but it looks so ugly and boring, comparing to other phones the ui doesn’t look good at all only thing that you can say that it is clean out of box And in one plus you have to delete unwanted apps that will take 2 mins. Online you will see reviews of nothing ui is clean , believe you will get sick of it. Notification panel looks so bad.
One plus has more raw power than nothing.
One plus has better display any day.
And not just bigger battery one plus has its super fast fast charging.
And it’s very hard to praise nothing phone 3. To be honest the tagline at which this phone was launched a flagship phone doesn’t even have a single flagship thing. Not even a single feature of nothing can be said that it is the best in segment or among the best in segment
So which one you are buying finally ???
Leaning very heavily towards one plus.
Few reasons:
Liked how one plus gave replacement for screens due to green line issue. Also now you get life time warranty on screen.
Nothing 3 is on fk. Have had very negative experiences with fk recently. So one plus seems like a better purchase to me atm.
I also wanted to buy the 13r. I guess better wait for a month or 2,if you can, as prices may drop once 15 release is announced in India. 
with Amazon ICICI CC cashback , now 13r will be 37k.
Would be best to wait for 15r drop. Either price will reduce further or get 15r which is more performance centric. I plan to get 15r just because of the larger battery and no requirement of camera. Also price is apparently gonna go down.
15 is good phone , so 15r will be good too. Can also check 15s(if launched successor of 13s).
Also check out iQOO 15. It’s offering great specs and will start from 52-54k.
