Nothing Phone (4b) Brings Power, Style, and Essential AI

London-based consumer technology brand Nothing officially introduces the Phone (4b), marking its first smartphone under the new (b) series. Building on the Phone (4a) series, the new device combines Nothing’s signature aesthetics with capable performance, intelligent software, and long-term reliability.

Moreover, Phone (4b) delivers an all-around smartphone experience through its Snapdragon processor, 120Hz Super AMOLED display, and 50MP OIS main camera. At the same time, Nothing OS and Essential AI tools bring a more connected and personalized experience to everyday users.

Eye Candy Design

First, Phone (4b) combines two standout design elements from the Phone (4a) series. Specifically, it brings together the refined Glyph Bar and the acclaimed unibody construction of Phone (4a) Pro.

After more than 20 internal design iterations, Nothing selected a final design that balances simplicity, comfort, and durability. Furthermore, contrasting materials, textures, and color tones create additional depth across the smartphone.

The crystal-clear soft polymer camera module features smooth 3D-curved edges. Meanwhile, those edges transition seamlessly into an eco-polycarbonate unibody with a durable three-layer coating.

As a result, the device feels comfortable while resisting fingerprints during everyday use. Additionally, Phone (4b) can withstand up to 600 Newtons of bending force and carries an IP64 rating.

Users can choose from Black, White, and Blue colorways. Moreover, each finish complements Nothing’s recognizable transparent design language.

Limited RCB Edition

As the main title sponsor of RCB, Nothing also introduces a special Phone (4b) RCB Edition. Furthermore, the collaboration celebrates Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s historic second IPL title.

The special edition features an exclusive red finish and bespoke RCB branding. Additionally, collector-style packaging gives the smartphone added appeal for dedicated fans.

Nothing will initially offer the RCB Edition through an exclusive drop at its Flagship Store in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, the collaboration marks the brand’s first official RCB smartphone partnership.

The Glyph Bar, Refined

The signature Glyph Bar returns with a cleaner and more refined approach. Moreover, it helps users stay informed without constantly checking their smartphone display.

With 45 individually controlled mini-LEDs, the Glyph Bar reaches up to 3,500 nits brightness. Therefore, it delivers clear notifications, charging updates, recording indicators, and personalized alerts.

Instead of demanding constant attention, the Glyph Bar surfaces important information at a glance. Consequently, users can interact with their phones more intuitively while reducing unnecessary screen checks.

Powered by Snapdragon

At its core, Phone (4b) runs on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, Qualcomm’s latest 4nm mobile processor. Furthermore, Nothing claims the device achieves an AnTuTu score exceeding one million.

The 4nm architecture improves sustained performance and power efficiency. Additionally, Qualcomm’s sixth-generation AI Engine accelerates on-device artificial intelligence across photography, voice recognition, and Essential AI tools.

As a result, users can enjoy responsive everyday performance without relying on cloud processing for core AI functions. Meanwhile, the processor gives Phone (4b) enough power for gaming, content creation, and multitasking.

Nothing’s biggest ever battery

Phone (4b) introduces the largest battery capacity in Nothing’s smartphone lineup. However, Nothing’s specifications list different capacities, with the device featuring a 5,200mAh battery.

According to Nothing, the phone delivers up to 18 hours of mixed usage. Furthermore, users can enjoy up to 22 hours of YouTube playback and 26 hours of Instagram browsing.

The battery also incorporates impact-resistant Safe Cell Technology. Additionally, Nothing states that the battery retains up to 90% capacity after 1,200 charging cycles.

For faster top-ups, Phone (4b) supports 33W wired charging. Consequently, users can reach 50% battery in under 30 minutes and achieve a full charge shortly afterward.

Flagship-Grade Thermal Management

Phone (4b) also brings advanced thermal management to its segment. Specifically, Nothing equips the smartphone with a 4,400mm² vapor chamber designed around its internal architecture.

This system helps maintain consistent performance during demanding workloads. Moreover, Nothing says the device can operate up to 2°C cooler during intensive tasks.

Consequently, users can experience more consistent gaming and 4K video recording performance. Furthermore, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 enables gaming performance reaching up to 90 FPS in BGMI and CODM.

The device can also support up to 120 FPS in select titles. Therefore, games such as Subway Surfers and League of Legends: Wild Rift can take advantage of smoother frame rates.

Masterful Photography at Every Level

Photography remains another major highlight of Phone (4b). Moreover, its 50MP OIS main camera combines optical and electronic stabilization for sharper photos and smoother videos.

The camera also works with a 360° ambient light sensor. Consequently, it can improve exposure and white balance across different lighting conditions.

Furthermore, the device includes a 119° ultrawide camera for broader compositions. This setup gives users greater flexibility, whether they capture landscapes, group photos, or everyday moments.

Nothing also brings its TrueLens Engine 4 to Phone (4b). Additionally, its Ultra XDR technology combines 13 RAW frames to produce richer shadows, brighter highlights, and more natural colors.

As a result, users can achieve computational photography results that traditionally appeared on more premium smartphones.

4K Video, OIS and Dual Capture

Phone (4b) records 4K video at 30fps. Moreover, OIS, EIS, and AI anti-shake work together to produce smoother footage.

The device also introduces dual video capture to its segment. Therefore, users can simultaneously record through the front and rear cameras.

Additionally, users can reposition the selfie window anywhere on the display. Consequently, creators gain greater flexibility when producing reaction videos, travel content, and social media clips.

Filters, Presets and Creative Tools

Beyond hardware, Phone (4b) brings several creative tools to photography and videography. Furthermore, users can explore exclusive Disco and DV filters for both photos and videos.

Signature Presets also provide quick styling options. Meanwhile, Playground helps users discover additional creative looks and visual treatments.

As a result, users can experiment with different aesthetics without relying heavily on third-party editing applications.

A Vivid Super AMOLED Display

Phone (4b) features a 6.77-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Moreover, the panel reaches 1,200 nits outdoor brightness and 2,000 nits peak brightness.

With HDR10+ support, the display delivers deeper blacks and vibrant colors. Additionally, its per-pixel light control creates stronger contrast across compatible content.

The 2,000-nit peak brightness also enhances HDR viewing. Therefore, highlights retain greater detail and clarity instead of appearing overly bright or clipped.

For gamers, the 1,000Hz instant touch sampling rate delivers responsive controls. Consequently, fast-paced gameplay can feel smoother and more precise.

Audio Designed for Immersion

Nothing also pays attention to the audio experience. Specifically, Phone (4b) features true dual stereo speakers for balanced sound and greater depth.

According to Nothing, the speakers deliver a 20% stronger stereo effect than Phone (4a). Furthermore, the brand’s 160-level volume control provides more precise adjustments.

As a result, users can fine-tune their listening experience more naturally. Whether watching videos, playing games, or listening to music, the audio system complements the immersive display.

Nothing OS 4.1

Phone (4b) runs Nothing OS 4.1, based on Android 16. Moreover, the software introduces refined animations, smoother interactions, and the new Soundscape Widget.

The software also supports 160-level volume control. Additionally, Nothing adds pixel-level micro-shifting technology to help reduce AMOLED burn-in.

For long-term users, software support also stands out. Phone (4b) receives three years of Android updates and six years of security patches.

Consequently, users can keep the device longer while maintaining access to important software and security improvements.

The Complete Essential AI tools, Without Compromise

Phone (4b) also delivers Nothing’s complete Essential AI experience. Furthermore, users gain native ChatGPT integration across the interface, clipboard, and widgets.

The device also supports Google Gemini, Circle to Search, and Hey Google. Meanwhile, the Essential Key provides quick access to Essential Space, Essential Search, Essential Voice, Essential Apps, and Playground.

Together, these tools help users capture, organize, search, and create more efficiently. Therefore, Phone (4b) brings the AI experience closer to everyday smartphone interactions.

Built to Last, Built Responsibly

Nothing approaches durability through rigorous quality control. According to the company, Phone (4b) undergoes 68 quality-control protocols across more than 95,000 tests.

Moreover, Nothing uses high-precision production lines and thousand-level cleanroom environments during manufacturing. Consequently, the company targets up to four years of optimal daily performance.

Sustainability also plays a role in the device’s construction. Phone (4b) carries a reported carbon footprint of 54.7kg CO₂e and incorporates recycled materials.

Additionally, its packaging contains more than 99% plastic-free materials. Therefore, Nothing continues its effort to reduce environmental impact across the product lifecycle.

Furthermore, Nothing will officially launch the device in the Philippines on August 15, 2026 through its official channels.

With its distinctive design, capable Snapdragon performance, 120Hz Super AMOLED display, 50MP OIS camera, and Essential AI tools, Phone (4b) brings plenty to the table. Moreover, its long-term software support and signature Glyph Bar strengthen its appeal for users seeking something different.
