Nothing has launched the Phone (3a) Lite in India, offering a mix of premium looks, strong features and smooth software at a pocket-friendly price. The company presented the phone in three colours—White, Black and a fresh Blue. The design uses a glass front and back with a plastic frame, and the textured finish adds a stylish look that stands out in the budget segment. Nothing claims the new Blue shade brings a unique pop of colour to its signature minimal design.
The Phone (3a) Lite will go on sale starting Friday, 5 December, on Flipkart and select offline stores. The 8GB + 128GB model carries a price tag of ₹19,999, while the 8GB + 256GB version costs ₹21,999.
The phone features a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with support for 120Hz refresh rate, HDR and peak brightness of up to 3000 nits.

The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset powers the device, along with the Mali-G615 MC2 GPU, making it suitable for everyday use and moderate gaming.
