The Nothing Phone 3a Lite is set to launch in India on 27 November, marking the company’s latest addition to its more affordable lineup. The new model is expected to bring a simplified version of the brand’s familiar transparent look, along with a design suited for daily use. While the full price will be revealed at launch, early estimates suggest it could arrive in a competitive bracket, making it the most budget-friendly option in the series. The Phone 3a Lite is likely to offer a large display, dependable performance, a clean software experience and a camera setup aimed at everyday photography. With these features, Nothing aims to attract users looking for a stylish smartphone at a reasonable cost.
Industry reports suggest that the Nothing Phone 3a Lite is expected to be priced at around Rs 20,000 in India. This means it will likely be more affordable than both the regular Phone 3a and the CMF Phone 2 Pro, making it a budget-friendly option in the lineup.\

The Nothing Phone 3a Lite is expected to continue the company’s signature transparent design, but in a more minimal form. Early details suggest it may feature a single Glyph light on the back that could glow for calls, messages, and other alerts. The phone is rumoured to launch in two colours, including black and white. Furthermore, it might offer an IP54 rating for basic protection against dust and light splashes.
On the front, the Phone 3a Lite is likely to include a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution. A 120 Hz refresh rate is also expected, which would provide smoother scrolling and gaming. The global model reportedly features high-touch responsiveness, and the Indian variant is expected to carry the same enhancement.
