Nothing has started rolling out a new software update for the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite in India. This update is based on Nothing OS 3.5 and was released in December, but it does not include a new Android security patch. The update comes with the build number Galaxian-V3.5-251212-1008-IND and has a small download size of 29.88 MB, indicating that it mainly focuses on minor improvements.
One of the key changes in this update is related to Lock Glimpse. After installing the update, Lock Glimpse is turned off by default. Even if the feature was previously enabled, it will be automatically disabled once the update is completed. This suggests Nothing is making some adjustments to how the feature behaves by default.
Apart from this, the update brings overall system stability improvements. Nothing says it has fixed a few known bugs, which should help in delivering a smoother and more stable day-to-day experience for users.
Although this update is released in December, it is worth noting that no new Android security patch is included with this release. The update is being rolled out in phases and may take some time to reach all Nothing Phone (3a) Lite users. Users can manually check for the update by going to Settings > System > Software update.
Apart from this, Nothing has confirmed that the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite will receive the Nothing OS 4.0 update based on Android 16 in early 2026, most likely in January.

CMF by Nothing appears to be teasing two new products, and its latest social media post has given fans another clue to speculate about what could be coming.
Yesterday, CMF shared images of Snivy (#0495) and Victini (#0494) from Pokémon. The post did not reveal any product names or additional details, but the two Pokémon could potentially represent the two upcoming products.
CMF has already expanded beyond smartphones, with products including smartwatches, neckbands, TWS earbuds and headphones. If the company is preparing two new products, there is a possibility that it could introduce something from an entirely new category.
One possibility could be a portable speaker or another audio product. CMF already has a strong presence in the audio segment with its earbuds and headphones, making a speaker a logical next step for the brand.
However, there is currently no confirmation that the Pokémon references are directly related to the products. The numbers #0494 and #0495 could simply be part of the creative teaser.
Interestingly, CMF also recently announced a Community review program, which could potentially be related to these upcoming products. However, Indian users are once again not eligible for the program.
For now, CMF has kept the details under wraps, but these teasers suggest that two new products could be coming soon.
