Here's everything we know so far about the Nothing Phone (1) Lite.
We had reached out to the company to get a clarification on the Nothing Phone (1) Lite, and in their response, they too called it a "rumour" and quoted Pei's tweet. However, this hasn't stopped Twitterati from speculating. Comments on Pei's thread seemed to suggest that people were taking the "fake news" comment as a dismissal to the absence of the Glyph interface, and not the existence of the watered-down phone.

According to the previous leak, the Nothing Phone (1) Lite was supposed to debut in October, which we believe would be too early, as its elder sibling - Nothing Phone (1) - was recently launched in India. It could retail at around Rs 24,999 for the base 6GB RAM/128GB storage variant.
As far as the specifications are concerned, the Lite variant was said to pack a 5,000mAh battery and feature a 42W charger inside the box, but ditching the wireless charging support. The rest of the Nothing Phone (1) specifications were said to remain the same as the Nothing Phone (1): 6.55-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel, Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+, dual 50MP rear cameras, and a 16MP front camera.
