Nothing Phone 3a Lite could launch in India soon as the most affordable model in the company's Phone 3a series. The unannounced smartphone has reportedly been listed on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website, which indicates it could be launched in India in the future. The Nothing Phone 3a Lite is tipped to share some specifications with the CMF Phone 2 Pro, which was launched in India earlier this year. The CMF Phone 2 Pro features a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro SoC, a 6.77-inch AMOLED display, and a 5,000mAh battery.

Nothing Phone 3a Lite Could Bear the Model Number A001T

Tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414) shared screenshots of the BIS listing for the Nothing Phone 3a Lite on X (formerly Twitter), showing the model number A001T. This model number is similar to the model number for the CMF Phone 2 Pro (A001). The leaker suggests that the Nothing 3a Lite might be a redesigned version of the CMF Phone 2 Pro with a few tweaks.

An upcoming Nothing phone has just cleared BIS certification. This is likely the Phone (3a) Lite, which I revealed a few days ago.
