Nothing has finally launched the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite smartphone in India as it had promised, after the global launch last month. The phone has a 6.77-inch FHD+ 120Hz Super AMOLED screen with up to 3000 nits peak brightness, same as the Phone (3a).
It is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro SoC, same as the CMF Phone 2 Pro. It has 8GB of RAM and up to 8GB of virtual RAM. The phone runs Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5, and the company has promised Android 16-based Nothing OS 4.0 will be available in early 2026.
It comes preloaded with Instagram and Facebook out of the box, but can be uninstalled. There is also Lock Glimpse that shows wallpaper and info related to it on the lock screen that can also be disabled. The company has promised 3 Android OS updates and 6 years of security patches. This also comes with Essential Space, an AI-powered hub for note-taking, ideas, and inspirations.
You can press the Essential Key to capture and send content to Essential Space, long-press to record a voice note, and double-tap to head straight to all your saved content.
This has a 50MP main camera with a large 1/1.57″ sensor, 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 2MP macro camera. It comes in White, Black and Blue colours with a glass back that has panda glass protection.
The phone still retains a 5000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging, which can charge up to 50% in 20 minutes. The battery capacity stays above 90% even after 1200 charging cycles, says the company. However, this doesn’t come with a charger in the box.
