Weekly poll results: who needs the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite when the CMF Phone 2 Pro exists?

Nothing’s recent market strategy has left us scratching our heads – and it’s not just us, it seems. Last week’s poll shows that most people gravitate towards other offerings from the company instead of their latest release. The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite failed to convince the majority. Some will wait for reviews, a few are interested but the phone isn’t available near them – even so, most people would rather get the non-Lite Nothing Phone (3a) or pick up the CMF Phone 2 Pro. And why wouldn’t they – Nothing’s CMF models offer awesome value for money. We see it with the CMF Headphone...

For example, the Samsung Galaxy S25+ is $838 (or $850, depending on which color you want), which is the same price as on Samsung US with the instant discount. The Samsung offer has an alternative option – trade-in credit instead of a discount. Samsung Galaxy S25+ Amazon: $162/$150...
