It may debut as the most budget-friendly Nothing smartphone in India.
The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite has been circulating in rumours for quite a while. Although no solid details surfaced earlier, the smartphone recently appeared on Geekbench. Now, a fresh leak has disclosed its launch date and price.
Nothing Phone (3a) Lite may launch as early as next month
According to DealLabs, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is expected to hit the European market on November 4, 2025. This suggests a global and Indian launch could happen around the same time, indicating a much closer release than anticipated.
Interestingly, with only a few days left, Nothing has remained silent about the device. The inclusion of the “Lite” tag is both surprising and intriguing, as it is said to be the brand’s most affordable smartphone yet.
DealLabs reports that the Phone (3a) Lite will be priced at €249.99 for its 8GB + 128GB version, which translates to roughly ₹26,000. However, considering the Nothing Phone (3a) and Nothing Phone (2a) Plus already exist in that segment and are available for less, the Lite model must be priced lower.
To claim the title of the cheapest Nothing smartphone in India, its price should stay under ₹20,000. The ₹15,000–₹20,000 range would make it a competitive option against phones like the Realme P3 Ultra, Motorola Edge 50 Neo, and Lava Agni 3.
Reports suggest the Phone (3a) Lite will position itself between the Nothing Phone (3a) and CMF Phone 2 Pro. The Geekbench listing also revealed a Dimensity 7300 chipset. Based on leaks, here are the expected specifications:
- Full HD+ 120Hz AMOLED display
- Nothing OS 4.0 (based on Android 16)
- 50MP main + 8MP ultra-wide camera
- 16MP front camera
- 5,000mAh battery with 33W charging
- 8GB RAM and 128GB storage
With the launch seemingly around the corner, Nothing is expected to make an official announcement soon. Stay tuned for more updates on the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite.
