After the launch of the Nothing Phone (1), rumors have surfaced about a device dubbed the Nothing Phone (1) Lite being in development. This device is said to lack some of the highlight features present in the Nothing Phone (1) like the Glyph interface LED lights, and wireless charging.

However, Nothing CEO and Co-founder, Carl Pei, has outright denied these claims, stating that it’s “Fake news”. Pei said this in a tweet replying to an article shared by Android Police which talks about the alleged Nothing Phone (1) Lite in detail.

The Nothing CEO did not clarify if his comment refers to the existence of the phone itself or if it is targeted at the rumors that the Nothing Phone (1) Lite will lack the Glyph interface and wireless charging. For now, it would be safe to assume that the company is not working on a watered-down version of its debut smartphone. The company is currently having a hard time with the quality control aspect of the Nothing Phone (1), with customers complaining about design flaws, hardware issues, and quality issues like getting dust under the glass back.

Relatedly, a different rumor has emerged suggesting that the company is working on two new wireless earphones, which will succeed the original Ear (1) model. According to a tipster, the upcoming earphones will include the Nothing Ear (1) Stick, and another pair of earbuds which could be called the Nothing Ear (2).

Nothing could be working on its next phone. According to a report by The Mobile Indian, the next Nothing smartphone could be called the Phone (1) Lite. The moniker of the device suggests that it will be an inferior version of the Nothing Phone (1), which debuted last month. Before reading ahead, readers are advised to digest the leak with a pinch of salt as the company has denied the existence of the Nothing Phone (1) Lite.

It has been just a few days since the Nothing Phone (1) has been made available for purchase. The company has already encountered issues like shipment delays and quality issues with the device. Hence, it appears that Nothing will not be talking about the Phone (1) Lite even if it exists.

The report reveals that the Nothing Phone (1) Lite will be almost identical to the Phone (1), but it will lack two features. The Lite model will not have the LED layout called the Glyph interface on the back, and it will lack support for wireless charging. It may house a larger 5,000mAh battery.

Apart from these changes, the Lite (1) may not differ from the Phone (1). The device could be bundled with a 42W charger. However, it will only support 33W rapid charging. The publication claims that the Phone (1) Lite may break cover during the upcoming festive season in India.

To recall, the Nothing Phone (1) has a 6.55-inch AMOLED Full HD+ display that produces a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 778G+ and comes with 8 GB/12 GB of RAM, 128 GB/256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, and a 4,500mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. It has a 16-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel (main) + 50-megapixel (ultra-wide) dual-camera setup.

The Nothing Phone (1) Lite could be priced under Rs 25,000. The report states that Phone (1) may receive a price cut during the next festive season in India.
