Nothing to launch 'T' or 'Lite' smartphone? Here is what we know so far
Nothing Phone 'T' or 'Lite' coming soon: Nothing budget smartphones are reportedly on the horizon, and the buzz is growing around the newly leaked "Lite" and "T" series, which are set to expand the lineup above the popular Nothing Phone 3a models. With Nothing's premium and mid-range offerings under pressure, insiders suggest the brand is preparing more affordable handsets—priced below the ₹20,000 mark—to capture a broader audience. Inspired by successful budget strategies from peers like Xiaomi and OnePlus, these Lite/T variants could mark Nothing's shift from exclusivity to mass-market appeal. If true, this move would signal a significant evolution for Nothing's roadmap, blending distinctive design with wallet-friendly pricing. Stay tuned to see how this expansion could reshape the brand's future in emerging markets.

Nothing might be forced to diversify its smartphone offering
Nothing Phone (3a) Pro vs. Nothing Phone | Image credit: PhoneArena Despite the fact that it doubles its annual revenue to more than $500 million and crossed $1 billion in lifetime sales last year, Nothing doesn't seem to content with what its phones sales look like on paper. Nothing plans to introduce new family of phones that will be sold alongside the company's already established 'Pro' lineup. Tipster Yogesh Brar claims Nothing is considering adding 'Lite' and/or 'T' branded phones to their lineup because 'Pro' models aren't enough to boost the company's revenue to healthy levels. Looks like Nothing could be adding 'Lite' or 'T' branded phones to their lineup.. Pro models are just not cutting it.. — Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) July 22, 2025 The rumor comes as a big surprise considering that Nothing already has a sub-brand specialized in entry-level smartphones: CMF by Nothing. The new Nothing Lite phones are likely to compete directly with the CMF lineup, unless the UK-based company makes them a bit more appealing hardware-wise. As far as the possible 'T' branded phones that Nothing is reportedly considering, these are more likely to succeed without cannibalizing any of the company's other smartphones. Typically, a 'T' branded phone is a more compact flagship, at least that's how OnePlus tagged their smaller top-tier phones. Assuming Nothing will do the same for its new family, it means fans of the brand will have the option to buy a compact flagship made by their favorite has a few options to diversify its lineup of smartphones, but we don't know for certain whether or not the UK-based company is even considering that, at least until more tipster chime in with more information on the matter. CMF Phone Pro 2 | Image credit: PhoneArena Nothing has been criticized for the price of its latest flagship, the Phone (3), which might be one of the reasons the company plans to offer customers a cheaper flagship. It remains to be seen how Nothing will name it, but the choices – Nothing Phone (3) T vs. Phone (3) Lite, don't seem too catchy. They're also quite unoriginal, so I sincerely hope Nothing finds a better naming scheme for its other smartphones in case this rumor proves to be accurate.

Nothing is rumored to be working on a new type of smartphone
Vlad, 22 July 2025 Nothing has recently launched the Phone (3), billed as its first proper flagship device, but the company is now rumored to be exploring new avenues. Namely, it's said to be adding 'Lite' or 'T' branded models to its lineup, as "Pro models are just not cutting it", according to an Indian leaker over on X. We're not sure which Pro models those are - the only recent Nothing handset with that branding is the Phone (3a) Pro, a mid-ranger that's better-specced than the non-Pro Phone (3a). Looks like Nothing could be adding 'Lite' or 'T' branded phones to their lineup.. Pro models are just not cutting it.. — Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh) July 22, 2025 Unfortunately, the source of this claim doesn't go into any more detail about these Nothing Lite or T phones, so we can't be sure what line the suffix would be applied to. A Nothing Phone (3) Lite? That's one thing. A Nothing Phone (3a) Lite? That's quite another. If there's actually any kernel of truth to this, then we'll undoubtedly hear more about Nothing's moves in the near future, so stay tuned for that.

Leak strongly hints that a cheaper Nothing phone is on the way
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR 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. Ryan Haines / Android Authority The move would align with recent efforts by Nothing to reach a wider audience. The Phone 3a and 3a Pro, priced at $379 and $459, respectively, marked a meaningful shift toward value, offering triple-camera setups, clean software, and eye-catching designs. While we praised both phones in our review, a lack of proper carrier support made them less than ideal for US buyers. If Nothing follows through with Lite or T-branded devices, it would be in good company. Brands like Xiaomi and OnePlus have used those naming conventions for years to sell trimmed-down or refreshed phones at competitive prices. It's a formula that's been working, with Xiaomi being the fastest-growing smartphone brand last year. Nothing hasn't confirmed anything yet, and there's no indication of a timeline. But with the Phone 3a series laying the groundwork, a true Lite or T model could be the next logical step for Nothing to grab a slice of the budget market. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Vivo V60 leak hints at Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 SoC, 6,500mAh battery and triple cameras: Launch timeline tipped
Vivo is reportedly gearing up to unveil the successor to its V50 smartphone in India next month. The upcoming Vivo V60, expected to launch on 19 August, has been the subject of several leaks, revealing key specifications, colour variants, and even design renders ahead of its official debut. According to noted tipster Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh), the Vivo V60 could come equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, a notable upgrade over the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 featured in the V50. The handset is also said to pack a massive 6,500mAh battery, potentially supporting 90W fast charging, as hinted by recent TUV and SIRIM listings. Brar suggests that the upcoming smartphone may continue the brand's focus on photography, possibly offering 50MP cameras, although the exact camera configuration remains unclear. The leaked renders point to a triple rear camera setup, arranged uniquely within a pill-shaped camera island, with an additional lens and LED flash positioned alongside it. Vivo's branding appears on the bottom-left corner of the rear panel. In terms of aesthetics, the Vivo V60 could be launched in three distinct colour options: Mist Grey, Moonlit Blue, and Auspicious Gold, further adding to its premium appeal. Adding to the excitement, the tipster also claims that Vivo might introduce OriginOS, its custom user interface based on Android 16, in India alongside the new handset. This would mark the first appearance of OriginOS in the Indian market, offering a fresh user experience compared to the company's traditional Funtouch OS. The Vivo V60 is expected to bring several upgrades over its predecessor, the Vivo V50, which made its Indian debut in February this year. The V50 features a 6.77-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with full-HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness of 4,500 nits. It is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC and houses a 6,000mAh battery with support for 90W fast charging. Camera-wise, it sports a dual rear camera setup (50MP main + 50MP ultrawide) and a 50MP front camera.
