Nothing Phone 3a Lite: Details

The Nothing Phone 3a Lite features a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution (1080 × 2392), a 120Hz refresh rate and 3,000 nits peak HDR brightness. It runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro, the same chip powering the CMF Phone 2 Pro, paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage.

For cameras, it includes a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro camera, while the front houses a 16MP selfie camera. The device is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with 33W wired charging and carries an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance.

 

The biggest visual change is the new Glyph Light — a simplified take on Nothing’s trademark LED design. Instead of multiple light strips, the Phone 3a Lite uses a single LED element capable of replicating core Glyph behaviours such as essential and silent notifications, camera countdown indicators and custom lighting presets for calls and alerts.

 

Running NothingOS 3.5 based on Android 15, the Phone 3a Lite includes several AI-enabled upgrades. The highlight is Essential Space, accessed through the Essential Key. It acts as a central hub for saved media and notes, offering natural-language search and contextual actions like creating calendar events from stored content. Other additions include Smart Drawer for automatic app grouping, Private Space to secure personal data and App Locker for protecting individual apps.

 

Nothing is promising three major Android updates and six years of security patches for the Phone 3a Lite. The device is also confirmed to receive the Android 16-based NothingOS 4 update in early 2026.
