The Nothing Phone (4b) will be officially unveiled on Tuesday, July 7, which is actually quite exciting for budget conscious buyers. This mid-range smartphone is set to be positioned as a more affordable alternative to the Nothing Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro. In the teaser video embedded below, Nothing reveals the smartphone’s design for the first time, which significantly reduces the use of transparency compared to the Phone (4a).
A Closer Look at the Design and Features
At least the surface of the large, rectangular camera module is transparent, giving it a distinct look. Nothing has incorporated a Glyph Bar with only five large LEDs instead of seven, which is a bit of a downgrade but still functional. As before, this LED bar is likely to indicate incoming messages and provide visual feedback for the camera’s self-timer. The Nothing Phone (4b) will be available in at least one blue variant, plus other colors. The smartphone features a flat plastic frame with black buttons and a display with relatively narrow bezels.
Storage, Colors, and Chipset Details
According to information from the leaker Yogesh Brar, the Nothing Phone (4b) will be available in three different colors and two storage configurations: either with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash storage, or with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Nothing is said to be using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, which features four ARM Cortex-A720 performance cores and four Cortex-A520 efficiency cores. In a benchmark leak, the smartphone has already come close to matching the performance of the Nothing Phone (4a), which is impressive for a cheaper model.
Display, Camera, and Battery Expectations
Despite its lower price, Nothing is expected to include a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a 50-megapixel main camera; no details are yet available about the second rear camera, which is a bit vagure. The battery’s 5,400 mAh capacity is only average, nothing special here really. All other details regarding the device’s specifications and price are expected to be confirmed by the launch on July 7 at the latest, so we wont have to wait long for the full picture.
