Nothing releases slightly simpler Nothing Phone (3a) Lite
Apart from the slightly different look, it is good to look for differences between the new Phone (3a) Lite and its brother, the Nothing Phone (3a). A slightly different camera setup, a different chipset and the ability to insert memory cards now.
While Nothing has announced the Phone (3a) Lite, no one yet knows what it looks like from the front. UK-based Nothing has only published images of the back. There won't be much difference from the Nothing Phone (3a); the dimensions are virtually the same, right down to the screen resolution.
Nothing places the three cameras in a corner this time and they consist of a 50MP main, 8MP ultra-wide angle and a 2MP macro. That's a slightly lower resolution than we saw b y the Nothing Phone (3a). The processor is also different; a Dimensity 7300 Pro from MediaTek instead of one from Qualcomm. Still, we don't expect a drastic difference in performance.
Nothing OS 3.5
This is mainly because Nothing manages well to apply a clean and optimized Android version. This Nothing OS 3.5 is built on top of Android 15 and gets 3 OS upgrades and 6 years of security updates.
The design is again typical Nothing with transparent elements and the limited colors; black and white. The whole thing is IP54 waterproof and protected by Panda Glass. Also of note is the Essential Key that saves screenshots for you at the touch of a button and those who press longer can record voice memos. You can find all this content in Essential Space by pressing the button twice.
Price Phone 3a Lite
Nothing gives the Nothing Phone 3a Lite a price tag of €249. For this, you get the model with 8+128GB of memory. A version with 256GB of storage will also be released. Expect the device to hit stores this month in White and Black colors.
