Nothing has launched the Phone (3a) Lite, marking its first entry-level smartphone under the main Nothing brand. While the company previously offered budget devices through its CMF lineup, the Phone (3a) Lite is the first device in this price range for the Nothing brand.
The smartphone is already available for pre-orders in Pakistan at Rs. 99,900 for the 8GB/256GB variant, slightly above typical budget prices. Internationally, the device is priced at $249.
The Phone (3a) Lite maintains Nothing’s signature transparent back design, featuring a single Glyph light for notifications. It sports a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth visuals and vibrant colors.
The screen offers 800 nits typical brightness, peaking at 3,000 nits, and is protected by Panda Glass. An optical under-display fingerprint sensor and a punch-hole front camera are also included. The phone comes in Black and White options.
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset, the device offers 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB internal storage, expandable via microSD. It runs on Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, with three major Android upgrades and six years of security updates.
Photography features include a 50MP main rear camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8MP ultrawide lens, and a 2MP macro sensor. A 16MP front camera handles selfies and video calls.
The Phone (3a) Lite is backed by a 5,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging, capable of reaching 50% charge in 20 minutes. A reverse wired charging option of 5W is also included.
In Pakistan, the 8GB/256GB model is available for Rs. 99,900 in both color options at major retailers such as PriceOye. With its combination of distinct design, capable hardware, and extended software support, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite aims to bring the brand’s signature aesthetic and user experience to a wider audience at a more accessible price point.
