Nothing Phone (3a) Lite launched in India starting at Rs. 20,999 with 6.77-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 7300 Pro SoC
Nothing has launched its latest smartphone, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite in India, following its global debut last month. It features a 6.77-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3000 nits peak brightness, identical to the standard Phone (3a).
It runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, the same one used in the CMF Phone 2 Pro. The phone includes 8GB of RAM along with support for an additional 8GB of virtual RAM. It runs Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5, and the company has confirmed that Android 16-based Nothing OS 4.0 will roll out in early 2026.
For optics, the Phone (3a) Lite equips a 50MP main camera with a large 1/1.57″ sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro camera. It also features Lock Glimpse, which displays wallpaper and related information on the lock screen—this too can be disabled. Nothing is offering 3 major Android updates and 6 years of security patches. The phone also includes Essential Space, an AI-powered hub for notes, ideas, and inspiration.
The Essential Key allows users to quickly interact with Essential Space—tap to capture and send content, long-press to record voice notes, and double-tap to access all saved items. It is powered by a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging, capable of reaching 50% in 20 minutes. Nothing claims the battery will retain over 90% health even after 1200 charge cycles. However, a charger is not included in the box.
