Nothing's first B-series phone is also skipping the US
Nothing has announced the Phone 4B, its first B-series handset and a successor to last year's Phone 3A Lite. The budget device combines design cues from the 4A and 4A Pro but, like previous cheaper Nothing phones, will not be sold in the US.
Nothing is expanding its budget phone lineup with the Phone 4B, marking the first device in a new B series. This model takes over from the Phone 3A Lite launched last year and sits below the A-series handsets.
Design-wise, the Phone 4B borrows from both the Phone 4A and 4A Pro, which debuted earlier this year. It features a unibody design similar to the Pro model, but made of plastic instead of metal, and incorporates an improved version of the Glyph Bar notification LEDs from the standard 4A. The phone comes in white, black, and blue and carries an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance.
Under the hood, specs match the budget segment: a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 256GB of storage. The 6.77-inch display is a 120Hz OLED panel, while cameras are basic: a dual rear setup with a 50-megapixel main sensor featuring optical image stabilization (OIS) and an ultrawide lens with unspecified resolution. The battery stands out as a highlight, with a 5,200mAh capacity (6,000mAh in India) – the largest ever in a Nothing phone. It ships with Android 16 and Nothing promises three years of OS updates plus six years of security patches.
The Phone 4B is priced at £299 / €329 (around $400) and launches on July 17th. That's a £50 / €80 increase over the similarly-specced Phone 3A Lite. Like previous cheap Nothing phones, it will not be released in the US; availability is limited to the UK, Europe, and India. By contrast, the new $99 Ear 3A earbuds, announced alongside the phone, will launch in the US.
Nothing also confirmed it will not release a new phone under its CMF budget sub-brand this year, citing rising RAM prices.
