The company Nothing has expanded its Phone (3) lineup with a new device — Phone (3a) Lite, which is the most affordable smartphone in the series.
The device features a Panda Glass body and an aluminum frame, as well as an IP54 certification, providing protection against water and dust. The design maintains the recognizable brand identity of Nothing but is rendered in a simplified form. Two colors are available — black and white. The physical Essential Key button offers additional functionality.

Instead of a full-fledged Glyph system, an LED notification has been implemented here, which can function as an indicator for calls, a timer, or alerts from selected contacts.
