Nothing has yet formally disclosed the exact processor destined for its next affordable handset, but the brand has confirmed that the Phone (4b) will launch globally on July 7 at 11 AM BST with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip inside. The precise model remains officially unnamed; however, recent Geekbench listings point to the 4nm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4. While this platform sits a tier below the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 found in the more expensive Phone (4a), it should still handle everyday multitasking with ease.
Leaked internals and software
Benchmark listings and insider information suggest the chipset will be paired with 8GB of RAM and storage capacities reaching 256GB. The device is expected to ship with Nothing OS 4.1, a clean, bloatware-free interface built atop Android 16.
Design and display
Leaked live images indicate the Phone (4b) retains the transparent rear aesthetic the brand is known for, although it adopts a plastic frame to keep costs down. The handset has appeared in Blue, Black, and White colorways, with the Blue and Black variants sporting contrasting black accent buttons. On the front, rumors describe a 6.7-inch Flexible AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth visuals at a price-conscious level. This positions the phone in a competitive segment where high-refresh-rate OLED panels are increasingly common even among mid-range devices.
Camera and battery upgrades
For photography, a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization is expected to lead the rear module, flanked by an 8MP secondary sensor. A 16MP front-facing camera is reportedly on hand for selfies and video calls.
Perhaps the most striking rumored upgrade concerns battery life. While early whispers predicted a standard cell, newly leaked system images hint at a 6,000mAh battery. If accurate, this would be the largest battery ever fitted in a Nothing smartphone, potentially delivering exceptional multi-day endurance. It would be supported by 33W fast wired charging.
