Nothing Phone 4b launch and expanding smartphone lineup

Overview

The budget‑mid‑range Nothing Phone 4b, the first model of the new “b‑series”, was announced in late June 2026 and officially unveiled on 7 July 2026. Design teasers showed a transparent rear with a new colour option and an expanded Glyph Bar. The handset ships with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC, 8 GB RAM, 128‑256 GB storage, a 6.77‑inch Full‑HD+ AMOLED panel (120 Hz, up to 2 000 nits) and a dual‑camera module headed by a 50 MP sensor. Battery capacity varies by market – 5 400–6 000 mAh – with 33 W fast charging. Pricing is positioned around €329/$299 in Europe and roughly ₹35 000–₹40 000 in India, where it launched with EMI options via Bajaj Finance and later appeared at a discounted ₹29 999. A limited “RCB‑edition” with a matte‑red finish was released for the Indian IPL market. The launch coincided with the introduction of the Nothing Ear (3a) earbuds, priced at €/£/€99. Reviews in July confirmed the 4b’s specifications and highlighted the absence of NFC and eSIM, a trait shared with the newer 4a and 4a Pro models. By the end of July the company’s portfolio comprised six phones across budget, mid‑range and premium tiers. This lineup includes the flagship Nothing Phone (3) with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and periscope telephoto lens, and the entry-level CMF Phone 2 Pro. In August 2026, Nothing expanded its reach by launching the Phone (4a) series in Vietnam. The Phone (4a) Pro features a 7.95 mm metal frame, a 1.5K 144Hz AMOLED display, and a 50MP periscope lens with up to 140x digital zoom. The standard Phone (4a) utilizes a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip and Nothing OS 4.1.
