TL;DR Nothing has launched the Nothing Phone 4b in Europe, India, and the UK.
The new phone has a unique design and dual rear cameras, but battery capacity varies between India and the rest of the world.
The Nothing Phone 4b starts at £299 / €329.
Nothing has been teasing the Nothing Phone 4b for a while now, and it’s looking like one of the more interesting cheap Android phones of 2026. The waiting is finally over, though, as Nothing has now fully launched the new phone.
The Nothing Phone 4b features a distinctive design, as you’d expect from the upstart manufacturer. The phone has a wide camera island for the two rear cameras, complete with a vertical light bar. This new Glyph light bar consists of 45 mini-LEDs and lights up for notifications, charging progress, video recording, and “personalized” alerts.
The camera bump also has visible screws and metal-like bits, while a CMF-like circular indent punctuates the lower half of the plastic rear cover. Expect an IP64 rating here, which means it’s sealed against dust but is only splash-resistant. In saying so, Nothing claims the phone can be immersed in 25cm (~9.8 inches) of water for 20 minutes.
Nothing Phone 4b: What’s under the hood?
Digging into the core specs, the new phone has a 6.77-inch 120Hz OLED screen (1,200 nits of outdoor brightness), a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of internal storage. That Snapdragon processor is still a squarely budget affair, but it does bring a claimed 11% performance boost over the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3. That’s in large part due to Qualcomm finally upgrading the CPU (4x Cortex-A720 and 4x Cortex-A520) after years of using aging cores. The new chip also delivers a 29% GPU performance boost and an NPU with INT4 support for more robust on-device AI features.
