Overview
- Nothing unveiled the Phone 4b on Tuesday with preorders open and general Indian sales set to start July 14, priced from Rs 34,999 for the 8GB/128GB model.
- The phone uses a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip, a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED display and a 50MP main camera with OIS, while the India unit uniquely ships with a 6,000mAh battery and 33W wired charging.
- Nothing redesigned its rear Glyph system into a 45‑mini‑LED Glyph Bar that shows notifications, timers and a recording indicator and retained a scaled‑back transparent-inspired design.
- Software is a key pitch: the Phone 4b runs Nothing OS 4.1 on Android 16 with Essential AI tools, native ChatGPT and Google Gemini access, plus a promise of three years of Android upgrades and six years of security patches.
- Early hands‑on coverage praises battery life, clean software and Glyph refinements but questions whether the midrange silicon and the Rs 34,999 starting price will compete with other strong value and midrange options.
