"Glyph Light, more like Glyph Gaslight... Nothing just dropped its fifth phone this year, the 3a Lite, and the instant I looked at it, I was first shocked... then confused. Shocked because the phone looks exactly like Nothing's CMF Phone 2 Pro. No seriously, the camera placement is EXACTLY the same, the chipset is the same, the battery, screen, most of its internals are the same. It took me a full minute for my shock to subside before it was replaced by confusion."
"Why? Why would Nothing introduce a 'new' phone into its lineup when it's selling the exact same phone (for the exact same price) under its sub-brand? I have no definite answers (we're waiting for Carl Pei to reveal his underlying strategy), which is why it honestly feels so confusing. Two phones, practically twins (with probably just 2 small differences), and arguably running the same software on the same hardware for the same price."
Nothing released the Phone 3a Lite that closely matches the CMF Phone 2 Pro in design and components. The two phones share a FHD+ 6.77″ AMOLED 120Hz display, a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. Both run Nothing OS 3.5 with a six-year update promise and include a 5,000mAh battery with 33W wired charging and 5W reverse wired charging. Camera placement and two main sensors align, and neither supports wireless charging. The overlapping specs and identical pricing suggest rebadging and raise questions about product differentiation and brand transparency.
