Nothing has now confirmed the launch date of its next smartphone, which will join the Phone (3)<\/a>, Phone (3a)<\/a> and Phone (3a) Pro<\/a> (curr. $555 on Amazon)<\/a>. As expected, the device will line up as the Phone (3a) Lite. Not only that, but the Phone (3a) Lite will retain Nothing’s transparent design.<\/p>\n

For the time being, Nothing has provided a hint about what the Phone (3a) Lite looks like. Embedded above and below, the teaser also implies that the device features a much smaller Glyph interface than past Nothing smartphones. However, we would not be surprised if Nothing included more Glyph lights than the single one shown today.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Nothing will officially launch the Phone (3a) Lite on October 29 at 13:00 UTC. Based on recent leaks<\/a>, the handset will start at \u20ac249.99 (~$291) in the Eurozone with 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and a MediaTek Dimensity 7300<\/a> chipset. In other words, the Phone (3a) Lite should be about as powerful as the CMF Phone 2 Pro<\/a> or various Motorola smartphones like the Edge 60<\/a> or Moto G86<\/a>. Apparently, Phone (3a) Lite pre-orders will not begin shipping until November 4.<\/p>\n
