Nothing has confirmed the launch date of its latest entry-level smartphone, the Phone (3a) Lite, which will officially debut on October 29 at 13:00 UTC. The device continues the company’s signature transparent aesthetic while introducing a more simplified lighting design compared to previous models.
According to the company, the Phone (3a) Lite “retains Nothing’s transparent design” seen in earlier models such as the Phone (3) and Phone (3a) Pro. A teaser image shared by Nothing suggests a smaller Glyph interface on the rear, possibly with fewer lighting elements than the multi-segment system used in the flagship range.
The new model is expected to ship with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset. Industry leaks suggest a starting price of around €249.99 ($291) in the Eurozone, positioning the device as an affordable alternative within the Nothing lineup.
Performance-wise, the Phone (3a) Lite is expected to compete with models such as the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Motorola’s Edge 60 and Moto G86, offering mid-range capabilities in a minimalist package. The company’s teaser hints that Nothing will focus on balancing design with value, maintaining its signature visual identity while reaching a broader market segment.
Pre-orders for the Phone (3a) Lite are anticipated to begin shipping from November 4, following its global unveiling. Nothing has not yet disclosed full specifications or regional availability beyond Europe.
