The Nothing Phone 3a Lite is most of the Phone 3a, only cheaper

• The Nothing Phone 3a Lite is now available in the UK and EU. • The £249/€249 phone shares several features in common with the more expensive Nothing Phone 3a. • Availability in other regions hasn’t been announced.

Nothing has launched a new budget phone. After teasing the release earlier this week, Nothing has started sales of the fourth member of the Nothing Phone 3 family, the Nothing Phone 3a Lite.

The Phone 3a Lite has plenty going for it, considering its £249 price tag: Nothing’s signature hardware design, Android 15 with three years of OS updates, a bunch of cameras, and a serviceable MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset paired with eight gigs of RAM. It doesn’t seem like we’ll be able to get this one in the States, though.
