Nothing Phone (3a) Lite in for review | Infinium-tech

We’ve had a Nothing Phone, a Nothing Phone Plus, a Nothing Phone Pro, and a few CMF phones, but this is the first time Nothing has released a Lite phone. Meet the Nothing Phone (3A) Lite, the brand’s first entry-level phone under its own brand.

Upon further inspection, the Nothing Phone (3A) Lite is a close counterpart to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but this phone is slightly lighter and has a more capable camera system. However the rest of the specs are almost the same – you get a 6.77-inch 1080p 120Hz AMOLED, a 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging, and a 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro SoC.

Nothing Phone (3A) Lite

It’s not clear which phone is better looking. The CMF is unique with its swappable rear panel, but the Nothing Phone (3A) Lite features Nothing’s signature semi-transparent rear glass panel.

The phone has a matte frame and glossy glass panels, making for a relatively slippery unit in the hand.

It also has a sort of glyph interface, but it’s now reduced to just a single LED in the bottom-right corner of the rear panel. It will light up when you get notifications and it’s quite bright.

The Nothing Phone (3A) Lite comes in black and white colours. It starts at $249/€249/£249 for the 8/128GB trim and goes up to $279/€279/£279 for the 8/256GB version. The open sale starts today and we just received the device for review so we’ll be adding it to our review pipeline as well.

Inside the box there is a USB-C cable and a plain silicone case.
