Published grade / five-factor mean
F 34/ 100

The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.

Why this grade

iFixit scored the Nothing Phone 3 at just 3/10 (v2.1): a tedious, somewhat destructive opening procedure hampers all repairs, screen repairs are 'among the toughest we've seen,' and Nothing provides no official repair parts or instructions. A built-in battery pull-tab and modular USB-C port are the only positives. No official self-repair program, manuals, or schematics; little public parts-pairing data (the one bright spot). Hard iFixit score gives medium confidence on a low-F.

Methodology & scope

Five dimensions are scored 0–100 and weighted equally: parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing and software freedom. The letter scale is A (90–100), B (80–89), C (70–79), D (60–69), F (below 60).

This assessment was last assessed Jun 9, 2026. Its assessment scope is Smartphones and is not a claim about every device the maker ships.
