Nothing Sets Oct. 29 Reveal for Phone 3a Lite, Its First Entry-Level Model

The budget 3a Lite signals a shift toward partner apps and lock‑screen content to help subsidize hardware costs.

Overview

  • Nothing will unveil the Phone 3a Lite today at 13:00 GMT, with an official teaser showing the transparent design and a single rear LED in place of the usual Glyph array.
  • Positioned below the Phone 3a, the 3a Lite is the brand’s first dedicated entry‑level device and is expected in Black and White with an 8GB/128GB base configuration.
  • Benchmark listings attributed to model A001T point to a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, 8GB RAM, Android 15, and midrange performance scores.
  • Pricing leaks indicate a European starting price of €249.99 in France (and about €239.99 in some markets), with sales reportedly slated to begin in early November, possibly November 4.
  • Nothing has confirmed it will include select pre‑installed partner apps and an optional Lock Glimpse lock‑screen feature on non‑flagship phones, a change likely to shape reception of the 3a Lite; India availability details remain unconfirmed.
