Regardless of having launched 4 smartphones in 2025 to date, Nothing is rumoured to be weighing up the launch of an all new Lite handset.
Tipster Yogesh Brar has taken to X to say that Nothing is trying so as to add a ‘Lite’ or ’T’ telephone to its roster.
In accordance with Brar, it might appear that Nothing is disenchanted with the reception of its “Professional fashions”. We’re just a little confused by this, as the one ‘Professional’ telephone in Nothing’s vary is the Nothing Telephone (3a) Professional, which is a mid-ranger that isn’t truly all that Professional, in conventional phrases.
Apart from which, there’s already a Nothing Telephone (3a) that undercuts the Nothing Telephone (3a) Professional, to not point out the CMF Telephone 2 Professional.
Nothing Telephone (3) Lite?
We’d recommend that the tipster is as a substitute saying that the Nothing Telephone (3) – arguably the model’s first true flagship telephone – isn’t performing in addition to it might like.
Taken in that mild, a potential Nothing Telephone (3) Lite or Nothing Telephone (3T) would symbolize a extra reasonably priced almost-flagship. In that sense it could possibly be extra in step with the Nothing Telephone (2) which arrived in 2023 at a beginning value of £579.
That telephone gave us a mix of flagship and mid-range specs, and in the end felt like a really succesful mid-range telephone. Maybe Nothing is trying to recapture that portion of the market.
Nothing could possibly be at a crossroads
The unique submit is frustratingly mild on specifics, so we are able to solely speculate at this level.
All we are able to say for now’s that the Nothing Telephone (3) is “probably the most thrilling flagship telephone in years”, although it falls wanting the equally priced Google Pixel 9 and the Samsung Galaxy S25 once you get right down to sensible issues.
You possibly can argue that an Extremely mannequin is as fascinating as a Lite one, however we’ll see how issues play out over the subsequent yr or so.
