Following its international release approximately one month prior, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is slated for an Indian market debut. The company has officially announced the launch date as Thursday, November 27th. Further specifics regarding the device will be disclosed at a later time.
The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite represents the company’s inaugural budget-oriented smartphone under the primary Nothing brand. Previously, Nothing had strategically launched its entry-level offerings under the CMF by Nothing sub-brand. A notable example of this strategy includes the CMF Phone 2 Pro, which was introduced earlier this year. The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite can be understood as a derivative of the CMF Phone 2 Pro, offering a similar, albeit adjusted, feature set.
Mirroring the CMF Phone 2 Pro, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite incorporates a 6.77-inch, 1080p 120Hz AMOLED display and operates on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset. Key specifications such as battery capacity (5000mAh) and fast charging capabilities (33W) are consistent across both models, alongside similar storage and memory configurations. Furthermore, the two devices share comparable physical dimensions.
The primary distinguishing factor between the two models lies in their design. The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite adheres to the signature transparent back glass aesthetic characteristic of other Nothing-branded devices, while the CMF Phone 2 Pro features replaceable solid back panels available in various colors. The Phone (3a) Lite exhibits slightly increased thickness and weight compared to the Phone 2 Pro. A significant differentiation point pertains to the camera system. While both devices incorporate the same main, wide, and front-facing cameras, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite substitutes the 50MP 2x telephoto lens of the CMF Phone 2 Pro with a 2MP macro camera.
