Express Launch: The Phone (3a) Lite Arrives on October 29, Without Usual Teasing
Rumors were correct: Nothing has officially confirmed the arrival of its Phone (3a) Lite, set for October 29, which is just two days away.
This comes as a big surprise, as the British brand is known for weeks of teasing before each launch. This time, the first teaser has just dropped… and the presentation is already set for Wednesday. An express launch, even for Nothing.
According to previous leaks, initial sales are expected to start on November 4.
What We Know About The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite
The smartphone is expected to come in a single configuration:
- 8 GB of RAM
- 128 GB of storage
- Available in black and white, the brand’s signature colors.
Under the hood, it is rumored to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 7300, an octa-core processor combining four Cortex-A78 cores running at 2.5 GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores at 2 GHz, supported by a Mali-G615 GPU.
The smartphone has already appeared on Geekbench running Android 15, but it may launch directly with Android 16, as Nothing has begun rolling out this version on existing Phone (3a) devices.
Expected Price and Design
According to information from Dealabs, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite will retail for €249.99 in France, with prices potentially dropping to €239.99 in some European markets. For comparison, the standard Phone (3a) starts at €349.99.
No confirmation has yet been provided regarding the presence of the Glyph Interface, Nothing’s signature lighting system, nor any potential design modifications from its transparent look.
However, the official teaser shows a flashing light on the back, suggesting that the minimalist style will remain intact.
