    Nothing Phone 3a Lite overview

    Nothing Phone 3a Lite price in Kenya starts at KSh 29,800. Announced on 29 October 2025, it is a midrange 5G smartphone that runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chip, and has a triple rear camera system led by a 50MP main camera. The 6.77-inch AMOLED display has a 1080 × 2392 resolution, 388ppi pixel density and a 120Hz refresh rate for fluid scrolling. The panel reaches up to 1,300 nits in high-brightness mode and peaks at 3,000 nits, which keeps it readable in bright light. The screen uses 2160Hz PWM dimming and is protected by Panda Glass.

    The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chip is built on a 4nm process and combines an octa-core CPU clocked at up to 2.5GHz with a Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. A microSDXC card slot adds room for more files. It runs Nothing OS 3.5 on Android 15, with software support covering up to 3 major OS upgrades. On the back, it has a 50MP f/1.9 main camera with phase-detection autofocus, an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera with a 120-degree field of view and a 2MP macro camera. The rear cameras record 4K at 30fps and 1080p at up to 120fps, with gyro-assisted electronic stabilisation to keep handheld video steady. Selfies and video calls use a 16MP f/2.5 front camera, which records 1080p at 30fps.

    The Nothing Phone 3a Lite is powered by a 5,000mAh battery. It supports 33W wired charging and 5W reverse wired charging, so it can share power with other devices. The battery reaches 50% in 20 minutes with wired charging. The phone connects to 5G and 4G LTE networks and supports Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC and GPS. SIM support covers dual nano-SIM. It has a USB-C (USB 2.0) port with OTG support, but no 3.5mm headphone jack.

    The phone measures 164 × 78 × 8.3mm and weighs 199g. It is built with a plastic frame and a Panda Glass back, with a glass front. This model is available in Black, White and Blue. It is rated IP54 for protection against dust and water splashes, not immersion. Unlocking uses an optical under-display fingerprint sensor.
