Nothing Phone (3a) Lite launched Globally with 6.77-inch FHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 7300 Pro SoC
Nothing has launched its latest smartphone in the Phone (3a) lineup, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite, following the 3a and 3a Pro. It features a 6.77-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3000 nits peak brightness, identical to the standard Phone (3a).
Powering the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro SoC, the same chipset found in the CMF Phone 2 Pro. It supports 120 fps gaming in BGMI, offers 53% improved network performance, and features a 1000Hz touch sampling rate. The phone includes 8GB of RAM with an additional 8GB of virtual RAM.
It runs Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5, and the company has confirmed that Android 16-based Nothing OS 4.0 will roll out in early 2026. Unlike previous models, this one comes preloaded with Instagram and Facebook, though users can uninstall them if desired. Nothing also promises 3 years of Android updates and 6 years of security patches.
A new feature, Essential Space, serves as an AI-powered creative hub for capturing notes, ideas, and inspirations. The Essential Key lets users quickly interact with it — press to save content, long-press to record voice notes, or double-tap to access all saved materials.
In terms of cameras, the Phone (3a) sports a 50MP main sensor (1/1.57″), an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro camera. It comes in White and Black color options, featuring a glass back with Panda Glass protection.
The device packs a 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging, capable of reaching 50% in 20 minutes. Nothing claims the battery will retain over 90% capacity even after 1200 charge cycles. As with previous models, no charger is included in the box.
