Nothing Phone (3a) Lite in for review

29 October 2025
Nothing's first Lite phone is here.

Sort by:

" LED in the bottom-right corner of the rear panel. It'll light up when you get notifications and it's quite bright. " Why not just put old school led notification light in front ? Multi coloured

    Nothing Phone (1) if it sucked

        With this device not having the CMF Phone 2 Pro's telephoto lens and heralding the arrival of lockscreen ads and bloatware in non-flagship Nothing OS implementations, the enshittification of Nothing has begun.

            What kind of company does this release a cellphone with a design like that? What do you think is cool?

              MakeMotoBetterAgain, 29 Oct 2025BTW, don't forget that this phone includes Meta's... moreI believe you can uninstall Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, but you can't uninstall Meta App Installer, Meta App Manager and Meta Services.

                  Mills, 29 Oct 2025- Ugly - No point - Overpriced Nothing and CMF is just... moreUnavailable spare parts even from Nothing themselves. Truly living up to their name.

                    why this phone is expensive? 😅 I'd rather cope on that CMF pro

                      Remember when Carl Pei made fun of 2MP macro lenses? Or how he promised no bloatware?

                                  Ugly phone

                                    That single LED looks so phoned in. Is that all they could do? I thought glyphs were their differentiating quality. 🤣

                                      - Ugly
                                      - No point
                                      - Overpriced

                                      Nothing and CMF is just like OnePlus and Oppo. Full circle!!

                                        BTW, don't forget that this phone includes Meta's apps and TikTok, which you cannot install at all, also the lock screen is auto set to show promoted news articles by default. Carl became a sell out to all the others in the industry.
