Arrival & Event Delay
I arrived early, around 2:50 PM, even though the event was scheduled to start at 3:00 PM. We ended up waiting for almost an hour, and the event finally began around 4:00 PM. I didn’t mind the delay much because I got the chance to connect with some bright minds, and they served coffee too. Still, the timing is something they can definitely improve.
First Impressions of 3(a) lite
As soon as I entered the premises, I checked out the phone, and it felt amazing to see it in person. I personally dislike online launch, so this was refreshing. The design, the aesthetics—everything looked on point. I don’t plan to buy it right now, but if I had the budget, I honestly would, because it looks incredibly cool in person.
Freebies & Offers
I didn’t attend the event with the intention to buy anything; I just wanted the experience. They gave out freebies at the entrance—a 45W charger—and I got one too. They also offered Ear (open) to anyone who purchased the Nothing 3(a) Lite, with no limit of 20 units, which I thought was a great move.
Food, Music & Atmosphere
The event wasn’t just about tech—they also served food, both veg and non-veg. I ended up liking the veg option more, but I tasted both. The music was top-notch, and there was a photo booth that I really enjoyed. The venue matched the new blue color aesthetic perfectly—a very nice touch.
Giveaway Confusion
Now for the slightly controversial part—the giveaway. They mentioned a chance to win Ear (open) through a fun challenge, but the process seemed unclear. When I asked, they said the photo booth itself was the competition and they’d select winners based on photos they liked. However, when my photo was clicked, they didn’t ask for any details. I’m not sure how they plan to contact the winners. I still uploaded my photo on Instagram and tagged Nothing India—fingers crossed.
Overall Verdict
Despite the delay, they managed the crowd well. The freebies were good, and they kept their promise of giving Ear (open) to buyers—even more than 20 people got them. The photo booth was fun, the aesthetics were great, and the entire vibe was solid. Only the giveaway lacked transparency. Overall, I’d say the experience was amazing, and if this event happens in your city or nearby, you should definitely check it out.
