Nothing Phone (3a) Lite Launching In India On November 27

Nothing has confirmed that the Phone (3a) Lite will launch in India on November 27. Since the phone has already gone on sale globally, the India launch is expected to follow the same hardware and software profile, with the main differences likely showing up in pricing and availability.

Specs and Features

The global model runs Nothing OS 3.5 built on Android 16, and the brand promises three major Android upgrades and six years of security maintenance releases (SMR). It’s a dual-SIM (nano + nano) device, and Nothing hasn’t hinted at any India-specific changes so far.

The Phone (3a) Lite comes with a 6.77-inch Full HD+ Flexible AMOLED display rated for 120Hz refresh rate and 3,000 nits peak HDR brightness, which is pretty bright for outdoor use. It’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro, paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB internal storage. Storage can also be expanded up to 2TB via a microSD card, which you don’t see very often in modern mid-range devices.

Camera and connectivity

There’s a triple-rear camera setup with a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, and a third 2MP rear sensor. On the front, you get a 16MP selfie camera for photos and video calls.

Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and satellite navigation formats such as GPS, GLONASS, BDS, Galileo, and QZSS.

Battery and durability

The phone includes a 5,000mAh battery with 33W wired fast charging, and it can also perform 5W reverse wired charging, which might come in handy for accessories. For durability, it’s rated IP54 for dust and splash protection and features Panda Glass on both the front and back.

Possible Pricing For India

Nothing hasn’t shared an official price yet, but the Phone (3a) Lite is positioned as the most affordable model in the company’s main lineup, separate from its CMF brand. It’s expected to sit under the regular Phone (3a), making it the new entry point for buyers who want the Nothing experience at a lower cost.

Early reports suggest that the Indian price could land near ₹20,000, placing it in the competitive mid-range segment. For reference, the phone is listed in Europe at €249, which roughly converts to ₹25,000.
