Nothing's newest and most affordable smartphone of 2026, the Phone 4b, officially went on sale in India on July 14, marking the debut of the company's new B series. Available on Flipkart and across retail partners including Croma, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales, the Phone 4b is positioned as Nothing's most accessible entry into its ecosystem yet, starting at Rs. 34,999 for the 8GB/128GB base variant and Rs. 38,999 for the 8GB/256GB model.
Launch offers are worth factoring in before paying the sticker price. With an instant bank discount of 7.5%, the base variant gets reduced to Rs. 29,999, while the 256GB model reduces to Rs. 33,699. In addition, there is nothing that offers extra money through an exchange offer to customers who have an old phone to trade, which means even more discounts on top of the bank discount.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset powers this phone alongside the 4,400mm² vapour chamber cooler, which deals with heat generation when in use. It comes with a 6.77-inch Super AMOLED screen from Samsung with a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as an optical fingerprint reader on the screen.
At the rear end, there is a 50MP main camera with both dual-axis Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), an 8MP ultrawide camera with 119.5° field of view, and it can record 4K videos at 30fps using Nothing's TrueLens Engine 4. On the front end is a 16MP selfie camera.
One of the most impressive features of this phone is its 6,000mAh battery, which is also the biggest that any Nothing phone has had so far and can be charged to 50% in only 27 minutes using a 33W fast charging capability.

Nothing has committed to three Android OS upgrades and six years of security patches.
The redesigned Glyph Bar, replacing the earlier Glyph Interface with a compact grid of 45 mini-LEDs claimed to be 40% brighter, sits at the back, letting users set custom light patterns for calls, track delivery status, and visualise volume and timers. Dual stereo speakers with what Nothing describes as a 20% better stereo effect compared to the Phone 4a round out the audio package, making the Phone 4b a more complete mid-range option in a segment that's becoming increasingly competitive.
