- Nothing may be planning a new “Lite” or “T” branded phone.
- The move could extend Nothing’s reach into the budget segment below the Phone 3a series.
- Xiaomi and OnePlus have used similar naming strategies to compete in the budget space.
Nothing may be looking to broaden its smartphone range with the addition of more affordable models. The company has so far focused on flagship and mid-range devices, but that strategy could be evolving.
According to reliable leaker Yogesh Brar on X, Nothing is exploring phones branded as either “Lite” or “T” models. He didn’t share specific details, but noted that “Pro models are just not cutting it,” suggesting the company could be considering lower-cost alternatives to keep up interest. Brar was spot on with his tip about Nothing releasing three phones in the first half of 2025, so this rumor is certainly credible.
