Nothing slashes Phone (3) and Ear (3) prices in the UAE for Black Friday

Nothing is running Black Friday and UAE National Day deals in the UAE until 9 December 2025, with discounts up to AED 700 on Phone (3), Phone (3a) series, Ear (3) and CMF Headphone Pro.

The Black Friday wave in the UAE is now joined by Nothing, and it’s stretching right through the UAE National Day break. The London-based brand is running a stack of offers on its Phone (3) family, the newer Phone (3a) line-up, plus Ear (3) and CMF Headphone Pro – with some bundles that make more sense than the usual random “gift with purchase” promos.

If you’ve been eyeing a transparent phone or a pair of quirky headphones, this might be the nudge your credit card didn’t ask for.

Nothing’s Black Friday & UAE National Day offers at a glance

Nothing is focusing on simple price cuts and bundles, not weird coupon codes or flash drops. The campaign runs across the UAE until 9 December 2025, covering both Black Friday and the UAE National Day long weekend.

Discounts up to AED 700 on Nothing phones
Offers cover Phone (3), Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, Phone (3a) Lite
Audio deals on Ear (3) and CMF Headphone Pro
Some variants are online exclusives on Amazon and Noon
Available across major UAE retailers and e-commerce sites

Nothing is positioning this as a thank-you to early UAE adopters. The UAE has been one of the brand’s key launch markets – we saw that with the earlier Nothing Phone (3) launch in the UAE.

For buyers, the important bit is simpler: you have a few weeks to decide which combo of phone, earbuds or watch makes the most sense for your budget.

Phone (3): flagship design with bundled earbuds

Nothing’s current flagship, Phone (3), keeps its premium pricing but throws in audio hardware to sweeten the deal. The phone still leans on that transparent back and Glyph lighting, plus Nothing OS with the brand’s minimalist styling.

Phone (3) 12GB+256GB – AED 2,599 with earbuds
Phone (3) 16GB+512GB – AED 2,899 with earbuds
Same transparent design and Glyph aesthetic
Nothing OS experience with the usual clean interface

If you wanted a Phone (3) anyway, this promo is basically a way to get a pair of earbuds thrown in without paying extra.

The Phone (3) sits at the top of Nothing’s line-up, and its appeal is less about raw specs and more about the design and software feel. For UAE buyers who prefer a cleaner Android skin and a phone that doesn’t look like every other slab, these bundles help justify the price, especially if you were already considering a new pair of wireless earbuds.

Phone (3a) & Phone (3a) Pro: mid-range with smart bundles

The Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro aim to bring the same Nothing look and smooth software to a lower price bracket, while still feeling like “proper” Nothing phones rather than stripped-down versions.

Phone (3a) 8GB+128GB – AED 849, Amazon exclusive
Phone (3a) 12GB+256GB – AED 1,199 with Buds 2
Phone (3a) Pro 12GB+256GB – AED 1,549 with Watch Pro 2 + Buds 2
Same iconically transparent design and Nothing OS experience
Focus on improved performance and value

Compared to the flagship, the 3a series cuts price first, not identity. You still get the transparent aesthetic and Nothing’s OS, just with less of the “top-spec at all costs” mindset. The Phone (3a) Pro bundle is the one to watch: a phone, smartwatch and earbuds in one stack is a decent starter kit for anyone trying to build a small ecosystem without going all-in on Apple or Samsung.

If you’re unsure where to start in Nothing’s line-up, the 3a series is currently the “sensible” choice: mid-range pricing, recognisably Nothing design, and bundles that actually add value rather than random accessories you’ll never unbox.

Phone (3a) Lite: budget-friendly, still recognisably Nothing

The Phone (3a) Lite takes the same idea even further down the price ladder. It’s meant for people who like the look and feel of Nothing but don’t care about pushing performance or camera specs.

Phone (3a) Lite 8GB+128GB – AED 699, exclusive to Noon and Amazon
Phone (3a) Lite 8GB+256GB – AED 799, exclusive to Noon and Amazon
Lighter, simpler take on the 3a design
Keeps the basic Nothing aesthetic and software feel

We’ve already gone into more depth in our Nothing Phone (3a) Lite UAE breakdown. In short, it’s the entry point for the brand. You still get the vibe – semi-transparent aesthetic, clean software, simple styling – without paying flagship money.

At this price, you’re trading away some performance headroom and camera flexibility. But for everyday UAE use – WhatsApp, calls, scrolling and a bit of video – the Lite tier is aimed at people who want a phone that looks interesting, not a spec sheet for bragging rights.

Ear (3) & CMF Headphone Pro: audio deals to match

It’s not just phones in the promo. Two audio products get included too: Ear (3) under the Nothing brand, and CMF Headphone Pro from Nothing’s sub-brand CMF.

Ear (3) – AED 599
CMF Headphone Pro – AED 209
Both sit in the mid-range audio bracket
Designed to pair neatly with the Phone (3) and 3a series

We’ve already covered Ear (3) in the UAE, with its standout “Super Mic” built into the case and stronger ANC performance. If you’re already set on Nothing for your next phone, this promo basically lets you keep everything within the same design language and app.

On the over-ear side, CMF Headphone Pro gives you long battery life, playful modular earcups and better-than-you’d-expect ANC for the price. It’s not trying to crush Sony or Bose, but it does make a compelling “daily driver” pair of headphones for office, metro and flights out of DXB.

Where to buy in the UAE – and how long the offers last

The good news: you don’t need to hunt for some obscure reseller to find these deals. Nothing is rolling them out across the usual big-name retailers plus the main online players.

Offers valid across the UAE until 9 December 2025
Available at Sharaf DG, Jumbo, e& (Etisalat), du, Virgin Megastore, Emax
Online via Amazon and Noon, with some models exclusive
Limited-time campaign tied to Black Friday and UAE National Day season

The timing is neat. You get Black Friday pricing, plus enough runway to still grab a device after UAE National Day if payday arrives late. Just keep in mind that online exclusives on Amazon and Noon may move faster, especially the cheaper Phone (3a) Lite configurations.

If you’re in the market for a new phone and already like Nothing’s approach to design and software, this promo window is probably the best chance this year to jump in without paying full launch prices.

FAQ

How long do Nothing’s Black Friday offers run in the UAE?

Nothing’s Black Friday and UAE National Day offers in the UAE are valid until 9 December 2025. After that, prices are expected to go back to standard RRP, unless retailers run their own separate promos.

Which Nothing phone has the biggest saving?

Nothing mentions discounts up to AED 700 across the range, but the best “value” isn’t just the biggest cut – it’s where the bundles land. The Phone (3a) Pro package with Watch Pro 2 and Buds 2 is likely the most stacked bundle, while the Phone (3a) Lite models give you the lowest entry price.

Are any of the Nothing deals online exclusives?

Yes. The Phone (3a) 8GB+128GB is exclusive to Amazon, while the Phone (3a) Lite (both 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB) is exclusive to Noon and Amazon. If you want those exact variants, you’ll have to shop online rather than at a mall store.

Do the Phone (3) deals include Ear (3) or other earbuds?

The promo lists Phone (3) bundles “with earbuds”, but doesn’t lock in a single specific earbud model in the press release. Expect retailer-specific bundles – some may pair the phone with Nothing earbuds, others with different models depending on stock and agreements. Always double-check the product listing before you pay.

Is it better to buy a Nothing phone now or wait for Boxing Day / New Year deals?

For the UAE, Black Friday plus UAE National Day is usually one of the strongest deal windows of the year, especially for phones and audio. There may be year-end promos later, but there’s no guarantee they’ll be better than an up-to-AED-700 discount plus freebies like earbuds and a watch. If you already planned to buy a Nothing phone, this is a solid time to move.
