Retail One-Day Sales Push Nothing Phone (3) and Headphone (a) to Record Lows

Retailer-run, one-day discounts on Amazon and Best Buy steeply cut prices to create a short window of strong value for shoppers.

Overview

  • Amazon and Best Buy ran one-day deals on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, that dropped Nothing Headphone (a) to $109 for the black color and $119 for other colors while lowering Nothing Phone (3) to $499 for the 256GB model and $599 for the 512GB model.
  • Reviewers and price trackers called these the lowest prices seen since each product’s release and said the markdowns undercut earlier Prime Day and August discounts.
  • The Headphone (a) retains its headline features at the sale price, including hybrid active noise cancellation, a Transparency Mode, spatial audio with Hi‑Res certification, and up to about 135 hours of battery life without ANC.
  • The Phone (3) keeps its flagship-class hardware at the discounted price, including a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, high RAM and storage options, and a 6.67‑inch 1.5K AMOLED flex display, which reviewers said makes the device strong value at $499.
  • Prices vary by region and payment offers, such as Amazon India listings and ICICI instant cashback, and outlets warn these retailer-controlled, time-limited discounts may disappear once the promotion ends so buyers should act quickly if they want the savings.
