Nothing Phone (3a) Lite: All The Features And Price

No Phone 3A Lite Medium Range Smartphone

Nothing breaks its own rule by presenting the Phone (3a) Lite, its first medium-low range mobile phone. Although the company already owns the CMF brand for budget products, it is committed to bringing its unique design at an affordable price point through its main brand, which until now was reserved for premium smartphones.

This device completes the trilogy of the series (3rd), alongside the basic model and the Pro with a proposal that maintains its fundamentals. It inherits the impressive 6.77-inch Super AMOLED display, as well as the iconic Glyph interface with LED lights. More than a “Lite”, It’s the boldest statement of intent in the saturated midrange: Proving that transgressive design and cutting-edge technology can be within everyone’s reach.

The essence of Nothing, now accessible

Its biggest distinguishing feature is the incorporation of the iconic Nothing design, with clear glass back and a single Glyph light for notifications. The screen, however, is its main strong point: a 6.77-inch Super AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate and an extraordinary peak brightness of 3000 nits, protected by Panda Glass.

In the photographic section, it has a versatile system driven by a 50 MP main camera with OIS, accompanied by an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 2 MP macro sensor. For selfies it includes a modest 16 MP camera.

No 3A Lite Phone In Use

The terminal runs Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15. Nothing is committed to 3 major OS updates and 6 years of security patchesensuring a long useful life. New is Essential Space, an AI-based hub for storing notes and ideas, accessible via a dedicated physical button (the Essential Key).

Autonomy is guaranteed by a 5000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging (capable of reaching 50% in 20 minutes)which promises to maintain more than 90% of its capacity even after 1200 cycles. Please note that, as usual, the charger is not included in the package.
