Nothing is messing with its naming scheme again. The Phone 4B is here, and it’s the company’s cheapest handset yet. But if you’re in the US, don’t get your hopes up — like previous budget Nothing phones, it’s skipping the North American market.
The 4B replaces last year’s Phone 3A Lite. It borrows design elements from both the 4A and 4A Pro — the unibody look of the Pro, but in plastic instead of metal, paired with a refined version of the Glyph Bar notification LEDs from the regular 4A.
Available in white, black, and blue, the phone has an IP64 rating for dust and water protection. The specs are what you’d expect from a budget device: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, 8GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB of storage. The 6.77-inch display is a 120Hz OLED. Cameras are basic — a 50MP main sensor with OIS and an ultrawide with no listed resolution.
The battery’s the real highlight. At 5,200mAh — or 6,000mAh if you’re in India — it’s Nothing’s biggest yet. It ships with Android 16, and Nothing promises three years of OS updates plus six years of security patches.
Pricing starts at £299 / €329 (around $400), launching July 17th in the UK, Europe, and India. That’s about £50 more than last year’s 3A Lite.
The launch comes alongside Nothing’s new Ear 3A earbuds, which interestingly are getting a US release. And the company’s dedicated budget brand CMF won’t be releasing a phone this year, citing rising RAM prices.
