Nothing is preparing to expand its product range in the middle segment. A more affordable alternative is now added to the series, which was previously introduced with the Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro models. The model, which will be called Nothing Phone (3a) Lite, is expected to be available in Europe before the end of 2025. Leaked information shows that this model will be on the shelves on November 4, 2025.
According to information from France-based sources, the European starting price of the device will be 249.99 euros. The price seems likely to vary by country; It is stated that in some regions this amount may decrease to 239.99 euros. This pricing will be valid for a single configuration with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. This detail also coincides with previous leaks. However, it is stated that color options will be limited to black and white.
Nothing Phone (3a) Lite processor and RAM capacity seen with test results
A Nothing device listed in the Geekbench database with model number A001T most likely points to the Phone (3a) Lite. This model was tested with MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300 processor and was found to work with the Android 15 operating system. The presence of 8 GB RAM on the device shows that it offers a structure sufficient for mid-segment users in terms of performance. In the first Geekbench test, the single-core score was measured as 1003 and the multi-core score was 2925. In the other test, values of 1023 and 2920 points were obtained. Although these scores lag behind some competing models with the same processor, the difference is explained by the fact that the unit tested was most likely a prototype.
Although these results do not give the full picture in terms of performance, they give clues about the potential of the device. The fact that the software is not yet in its final version may also have directly affected the test results. Moreover, since hardware balance has not yet been fully achieved in such early tests, the data must be evaluated within a limited framework. It is expected that these differences will be closed in the commercial version and even the performance will increase. Because previous models of Nothing had also made visible improvements with the latest software updates. This situation may proceed similarly in the Lite model.
The visual design of the device is not yet clear, but looking at Nothing’s previous products, a certain design line is expected to be maintained. The transparent back cover and LED light-supported interface details have become the trademark of the brand. However, considering that this model will be more economical, some design details may have been simplified. However, the fact that color options are limited to white and black strengthens the possibility of simplification. In addition, details such as the overall size of the device, screen frame and material quality are still unknown. It will not be a surprise if more visual leaks emerge in the near future.
On the other hand, there is still no official information about the basic features of the phone such as battery capacity, camera setup and screen type. It is estimated that this information will become clear as the launch date approaches. However, based on the previous Nothing models, the use of OLED screen and dual camera installation has been expected. However, the fact that the Lite model will appeal to the low price segment also suggests that this hardware may be trimmed. It is possible that a simpler system would be preferred, especially on the camera side. However, the official statement must be waited for these details to be confirmed.
Phone (3a) Lite targets entry-middle segment users with its technical equipment and price level. The Dimensity 7300 processor promises sufficient performance for daily tasks and multi-application use. Offering 8 GB RAM can also ensure that the device does not cause problems in long-term use. The fact that it comes with the Android 15 operating system is a significant advantage in terms of up-to-dateness. However, there is no statement yet on how long the software support period will be. But considering previous models, one can expect at least three years of software updates.
The price-performance balance of the device is at a remarkable level, especially for the European market. In times of economic difficulties, users tend to turn to phones that are affordable and offer adequate performance. Nothing may also aim to exploit this vulnerability with Phone (3a) Lite. Considering its price segment, the device will compete directly in the market with similar models from brands such as Samsung, Xiaomi and Motorola. This will be one of the main factors that will determine the success of the Lite model. Elements such as user experience, update speed and service support will also play an important role in this process.
