We’ve lived in suspense long enough. The company finally debuted the Nothing Phone (4b) today, exactly as advertised. Two versions will be deployed in the global market, by the way. One has a larger battery than the other. This newcomer has the best endurance of all the Nothing phones to this date.
There’s one Nothing Phone (4b) version with a 5200mAh cell. That’s for the global market and will be seen in the UK and Europe as well. A 6000mAh version also exists, probably the one they claim has the longest battery life, and will be found in the Indian market.
They say the battery can run for at least 22 hours streaming videos. Now, both versions get slapped with the same 33W charging kit, and there’s no wireless charging for either model. Performance-wise, the phone is faster than the (3a) Lite, but worse than the (4a), which has a Snapdragon 7s Gen 4.
Nothing new 4b mobile is built around a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 that actually has the same die as the 7s Gen 4, but it’s downclocked to just 2.3 GHz. Nothing OS 4.1 is the default skin on the phone, and the core is Android 16. Three OS updates are promised for the (4b).
The base Nothing Phone (4b) is floored at 8/128GB. Then there’s the 8/256GB version, both UFS 2.2 and LPDDR4X-only. It’s a budget phone through and through. Its transparent upper half has a glyph bar with 5 LEDs. The lower block is a plain matte finish, and the phone is made out of plastic.
By the way, it only has two rear cameras: just a single 50MP main unit and an 8MP sensor for 120-degree FoV photos. We do have a selfie camera in the screen punch hole. It’s a 16MP sensor. All these cameras do 1080p/60 or 4k/30 videos. The screen is also pretty decent.
Big non-uniform bezels do not bode well for its appearance, but it’s a big 6.77” 1.5K resolution OLED at 120Hz. It will hit 1200nits outdoors and 2000nits peak. This Nothing Phone (4b) is tested for an IP64 rating. There’s an optical fingerprint on the screen, and we have BT 6/WiFi 6 modes. It even has stereo speakers. €330 (~PKR 105,000) is the official base MSRP for the Phone (4b).
