Nothing Phone 3a Lite India Launch Nov 27. Expected to be priced under Rs. 22,000, it features a Dimensity 7300 Pro, 120Hz AMOLED, 50MP main camera, and a unique simplified Glyph.
The Nothing Phone 3a Lite India Launch Nov 27, according to the London-based technology company Nothing. The handset, which is the company’s most reasonably priced phone outside of the CMF portfolio, had its worldwide debut in October as the first “Lite” variant. The launch of the Nothing Phone 3a in India would make the company’s unique software experience and design language more widely available at a lower cost. It has been revealed that the phone will be released in black and white, and bundled deals may be available.

The addition of preinstalled apps like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok—the latter of which won’t be accessible in India—is one of the most noticeable changes. This suggests a more youth-focused strategy, departing from Nothing’s previous strategy of bloat-free devices. Although these apps can be removed, their presence implies that Nothing is adjusting the Lite model for customers whose primary use case is still social media.

In the UK, the Phone (3a) Lite was introduced for GBP 249, or around Rs 28,000. The Phone (3a) Lite should cost between Rs 20,000 and Rs 22,000, given that the standard Nothing Phone (3a) costs Rs 24,999 in India. It will immediately compete with the iQOO Z-series, Realme P-series, and Vivo T-series, all of which provide feature-rich devices at competitive prices, at this price. Nevertheless, nothing appears to prioritise differentiators over raw specifications, such as design, software, and long-term maintenance.
The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite’s hardware includes a 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with Panda Glass protection, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, HDR10+, and a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits. It has a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro CPU, 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, and 256GB microSD-expandable UFS 2.2 storage. The phone has a 5,000mAh battery that can be charged with 33W. Although a little slower than some rivals, this is reasonable given the cost.

The Phone (3a) Lite’s design is streamlined while maintaining Nothing’s distinctive style. Higher-end models no longer include the complete Glyph Interface; instead, the Phone (3a) Lite has a single Glyph Light in the bottom corner of the glass rear panel. Despite its anticipated reduced price, it keeps the symmetrical frame and glass back that give the phone a high-end feel. Nothing’s primary differentiator, its visual identity, is preserved while maintaining brand consistency across price points because of this design.
If Nothing offers the Phone (3a) Lite for less than Rs 22,000, it would be a highly attractive option for those seeking a sleek, distinctive smartphone with long-term software support. Slower charging and the Glyph’s simpler setup seem like fair trade-offs for a gadget meant to make the Nothing experience accessible to those on a tight budget.
The camera configuration consists of a 2MP macro sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP primary shooter with EIS. With a 10x digital zoom, the 16MP front camera can record 4K video at 30 frames per second. In terms of software, the smartphone comes with Nothing OS 3.5, which is based on Android 15. An update to Android 16 with Nothing OS 4.0 is scheduled for early 2026. The business has committed to six years of security fixes and three years of OS updates.
