London-based consumer technology brand Nothing today unveiled Phone (4b), the first smartphone in the (b) series and a new entry point to the Nothing product ecosystem.
Building on the success of the Phone (4a) series, Phone (4b) combines Nothing’s signature design with powerful everyday performance, intelligent software and long-term reliability.
It features Nothing’s Glyph Interface, category-leading Snapdragon processor performance, the largest battery ever in a Nothing smartphone, a 50MP OIS main camera, a 120Hz Super AMOLED display, and Nothing OS – one of the most distinct and loved Android experiences – along with Essential AI tools.
Eye Candy Design
Phone (4b) blends two defining design elements of the Phone (4a) series: the new Glyph Bar introduced with Phone (4a) and the highly acclaimed unibody design of Phone (4a) Pro. The result is the purest expression yet of Nothing’s design, bold, instantly recognisable and unmistakably Nothing. Selected from more than 20 internal design iterations, the final design balances visual simplicity, comfort and durability while establishing a distinct identity of its own.
Every detail has been engineered to enhance both form and function. True to Nothing’s design philosophy, Phone (4b) combines contrasting materials, textures and colour tones to create depth, character and visual precision throughout the device. The crystal-clear soft polymer camera module features smooth 3D curved edges that transition seamlessly into an eco-polycarbonate unibody, finished with a durable three-layer coating for a comfortable, fingerprint-resistant feel. Built to withstand up to 600 Newtons of bending force and rated IP64 for dust and water resistance, Phone (4b) is designed for everyday durability without compromising on aesthetics. Available in Black, White and Blue, each colourway has been carefully crafted to showcase Nothing’s signature transparent architecture.
Limited RCB Edition
As the main title sponsor of RCB, and to celebrate the club’s historic second IPL title, Nothing is introducing the Phone (4b) RCB Edition in partnership with Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Finished in an exclusive red colourway with bespoke RCB branding and collector’s edition packaging, it is the first official RCB smartphone collaboration. The Phone (4b) RCB Edition will be available today through an exclusive drop at Nothing’s Flagship Store in Bengaluru.
The Glyph Bar, Refined
Stay informed without constantly checking your screen. The signature Glyph Bar returns in a cleaner, more refined form on Phone (4b), continuing to deliver an experience unique to Nothing. Featuring 45 individually controlled mini-LEDs with brightness of up to 3,500 nits, it provides notifications, charging progress, recording indicators, and personalized alerts with exceptional clarity. By surfacing what matters at a glance, the Glyph Bar creates a more intuitive, less distracting way to interact with your smartphone.
Powered by Snapdragon
At the heart of Phone (4b) is the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, Qualcomm’s latest 4nm mobile processor, delivering performance close to the Phone (4a) and an AnTuTu score of over 1 million. Built on an advanced 4nm process, it offers improved sustained performance, greater power efficiency, and enhanced AI capabilities compared to older 6nm platforms. Paired with Qualcomm’s 6th Generation AI Engine, it accelerates on-device AI across photography, voice recognition, and the full Essential AI tools, enabling faster, more responsive everyday experiences without relying on the cloud for core AI functions.
Nothing’s biggest ever battery
Phone (4b) ships with the largest battery ever included in a Nothing smartphone. The smartphone features a 6000 mAh battery, 11% larger than Phone (4a) Pro, tuned specifically for the usage patterns and climate conditions of the Indian market.
Phone (4b) delivers up to 18 hours of mixed usage, one hour more than Phone (4a), including up to 22 hours of YouTube playback and 26 hours of Instagram browsing. Its 6,000mAh battery features Nothing’s impact-resistant Safe Cell Technology, retains up to 90% capacity after 1,200 charge cycles (around three years of daily use), and supports 33W wired fast charging, reaching 50% in under 30 minutes and a full charge in just over an hour.
Flagship-Grade Thermal Management
Phone (4b) features a bespoke 4,400mm² vapour chamber with a precision architecture tailored to its internal layout, delivering thermal performance comparable to Phone (4a). It keeps the device running up to 2°C cooler during demanding workloads, reducing thermal throttling for sustained performance in gaming and 4K video recording. Combined with Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, Phone (4b) supports up to 90 FPS in BGMI and CODM, and 120 FPS in titles such as Subway Surfers and League of Legends: Wild Rift.
Masterful Photography at Every Level
Building on the acclaimed camera experience of the Phone (4a) series, Phone (4b) features a 50MP OIS main camera that delivers exceptional detail and natural colour reproduction. Combined with optical and electronic image stabilisation (OIS + EIS) and a 360° ambient light sensor, and 119° ultrawide camera, it captures sharper photos, smoother videos and more accurate exposure and white balance across a wide range of lighting conditions.
Powered by Nothing’s TrueLens Engine 4, Phone (4b) features Ultra XDR imaging that combines 13 RAW frames to produce brighter highlights, richer shadow detail and more accurate colours than conventional HDR. Typically reserved for flagship smartphones, Ultra XDR brings advanced computational photography and more natural, true-to-life images to Phone (4b).
4K Video, OIS and Dual Capture
Phone (4b) records 4K video at 30fps, powered by the combined strength of OIS, EIS, and AI anti-shake, delivering smooth, stable footage without the need for additional equipment. It also introduces dual video capture to the segment for the first time, allowing users to record simultaneously with the front and rear cameras, while freely repositioning the selfie window anywhere on screen for greater creative control.
Filters, Presets and Creative Tools
Phone (4b) introduces a range of creative tools designed to make photography more expressive, including exclusive Disco and DV filters for both photos and videos, Signature Presets for instant stylistic control, and Playground for discovering new creative looks.
A Vivid Super AMOLED Display
Phone (4b) features a 6.77-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, 1,200 nits outdoor brightness, and 2,000 nits peak brightness, with HDR10+ support. Super AMOLED enables deep blacks through per-pixel light control and vibrant, accurate colour reproduction.
With 2,000 nits peak brightness, the HDR experience becomes significantly more impactful, highlights are rendered as intended, with greater nuance and clarity, rather than appearing crushed or clipped at lower brightness levels. A 1,000Hz instant touch sampling rate ensures an ultra-responsive experience, delivering precise control and smoother performance, especially in gaming.
Audio Built for Immersion
Every part of Phone (4b) has been designed with the user experience in mind, including audio. True dual stereo speakers deliver clear, balanced sound with impressive depth, with 20% better stereo effect than Phone (4a). Nothing’s unique 160-level volume control provides far greater precision than conventional volume systems, making every adjustment feel natural and effortless.
Nothing OS 4.1
Nothing OS 4.1, built on Android 16, brings the complete Nothing software experience to Phone (4b), with refined animations, smoother interactions, 160-level volume control and the new Soundscape Widget for personalized ambient audio, delivering a faster, more intuitive everyday experience. Built for longevity, Phone (4b) comes with 3 years of Android updates and 6 years of security patches, the longest software support in its segment. It also features pixel-level micro-shifting technology to help prevent AMOLED burn-in, extending display life through intelligent software optimisation.
The Complete Essential AI tools, Without Compromise
Phone (4b) brings the complete Essential AI experience without compromise, including native ChatGPT integration across the UI, clipboard and widgets, alongside Google Gemini, Circle to Search and Hey Google. Powered by the Essential Key, users can instantly access Essential Space, Essential Search, Essential Voice, Essential Apps and Playground, making it easier than ever to capture, organise, search and create, all with the same AI experience available on Nothing’s flagship devices.
Built to Last, Built Responsibly
Phone (4b) is manufactured on high-precision, thousand-level cleanroom production lines and undergoes 68 quality control protocols across more than 95,000 tests to deliver up to four years of optimal daily performance. Built with sustainability in mind, it has a carbon footprint of just 54.7 kg CO₂e, incorporates recycled materials throughout its construction and comes in over 99% plastic-free packaging (excluding the PET paper composite label).
