Nothing has expanded its 3a lineup in India with the launch of the Nothing Phone 3a Lite, a mid-range offering that continues the brand’s clean aesthetic but introduces a notable change: a new Glyph Light for alerts, replacing the iconic full Glyph Interface. With this, the company aims to bring the Nothing design DNA to a wider audience without pushing the price too high.
Price in India and Availability
The Nothing Phone 3a Lite comes in two configurations:
- 8GB + 128GB: Rs 20,999
- 8GB + 256GB: Rs 22,999
As part of launch offers, buyers can pick them up at effective prices of Rs 19,999 and Rs 21,999 through ICICI and OneCard bank promotions.
The handset will be available in Black, Blue, and White, and it goes on sale starting December 5 via Flipkart, Vijay Sales, Croma, and major retail stores across India.
Design and Display
Running on Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, the Phone 3a Lite is eligible for three major Android upgrades and six years of security updates. It features a 6.77-inch Full-HD+ Flexible AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, up to 3,000 nits peak HDR brightness, 387 PPI, and 2,160 Hz PWM dimming for better eye comfort.
Performance and Storage
Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage. It supports 8GB virtual RAM expansion and up to 2TB of additional storage via microSD—something the standard Nothing phones usually skip.
