Nothing has officially launched its first budget smartphone under the main brand, called the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite. Although the company already sells affordable models through its CMF lineup, this is the first time it has introduced a lower-priced phone directly under the “Nothing” name.
In Pakistan, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is now available for pre-orders at Rs. 99,900, while its international price starts at $249.
Design and Display
The Phone (3a) Lite keeps Nothing’s signature transparent back design, featuring a single Glyph light that shows notifications. The front side has a 6.77-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, giving smooth and colorful visuals.
It supports up to 3,000 nits peak brightness and comes protected by Panda Glass. The display also includes an in-display fingerprint sensor and a punch-hole selfie camera. Buyers can choose between Black and White color options.
Performance and Software
The smartphone runs on MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro, paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage. It also includes a microSD card slot for expanding storage.
It runs Nothing OS 3.5, based on Android 15, and the company promises three major Android updates and six years of security patches, making it a reliable long-term device.
Cameras
On the back, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite has a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro camera.
For selfies and video calls, there’s a 16MP front camera that delivers clear, everyday photos.

The phone is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging, which can charge up to 50% in 20 minutes. It also offers 5W reverse wired charging for small gadgets.
