The Nothing Phone (3) might pack its fair share of controversial design decisions<\/a>, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not a sturdy piece of tech.<\/p>\n In a new teardown from JerryRigEverything<\/a>, we get a close-up look with exactly how durable Nothing\u2019s first-ever flagship really is. In short: It\u2019s pretty durable! Most of the first half of the video goes about as well as you\u2019d expect. The display\u2019s front Gorilla Glass 7i panel scratches at the usual Mohs level of six \u2014 with deeper grooves at a level seven, of course \u2014 while the aluminum frame scratches and chips under a standard razor blade. Both the camera glass and surrounding rings hold up well to external damage, and the burn test leaves its typical markings well after the display has cooled.<\/p>\n The bend test, of course, is what most JRE viewers come to the channel to watch. Despite some eyebrow-raising placement for those antenna lines along the frame, the Nothing Phone (3) proves as durable as anyone would hope, failing to bend or even flex under direct pressure. <\/p>\n The back half of the video is standard teardown fare, showcasing the removal of the back panel (with a full razor blade required to cut through the adhesive) to showcase what lies inside. The rear camera bumps are actually part of the rear glass, pulling away from the rest of the phone, as is the Glyph Matrix\u2019s capacitive button cover. Despite the back panel seemingly delivering a look into the insides of your phone, Nothing actually uses a protective shield over the rest of its actual internals to keep everything protected. Maybe the Nothing Phone (3)\u2019s overall design would\u2019ve been less controversial if that cover wasn\u2019t there \u2014 but I digress.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n Really, the coolest part of this teardown is, of course, a deeper look at the Glyph Matrix. That coin-shaped display features 489 total pixels, and thanks to the capacitive button needed to cycle through its various displays, the wireless charger actually features a cutout from its usual circle-shaped coils to allow for that sense of space. It\u2019s a solid look at the insides of a device that, apparently, is repairable enough to get a C rating from the EU, as seen at the beginning of the video. And, hey, JerryRigEverything\u2018s video ends with the disassembled Nothing Phone (3) turning back on after being reassembled. Not bad.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Nothing-Phone-3-Teardown-Revealing-the-Truth.-4-34-screenshot.png\")
