Nothing has confirmed July 7 as the launch date for the Phone (4b) in India, introducing the company’s first b-series device at an expected starting price of around ₹25,000.

The 4b sits below the Phone (4a) series in Nothing’s lineup. It’s the company’s attempt to push its design identity into a lower price bracket, bringing the transparent-back aesthetic and Glyph interface to buyers who couldn’t stretch to the (4a)’s asking price.

Specs Confirmed Through Geekbench and Official Teasers

The Phone (4b) will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and Android 16 out of the box. A Geekbench listing for the device surfaced ahead of the launch, showing single-core scores of 1,088 and multi-core scores of 3,155. The display is a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. Battery capacity is 5,400mAh.

Camera hardware looks minimal by 2026 mid-range standards. The rear setup centers on a 50MP primary sensor as part of a dual-camera configuration. Storage options are expected to be 8GB+128GB and 8GB+256GB, with three color variants at launch.

The Glyph Gets a Redesign

One of the more visible changes is how Nothing has handled the Glyph interface. The multi-segment vertical Glyph panels from earlier phones are gone. In their place is a single horizontal Glyph Bar positioned just below the camera module — a design that first appeared on the Phone (3a) series. Nothing has released a sketch video teasing the change. The transparent rear panel stays.

The Glyph Bar lights up for notifications, calls, and app alerts. Fewer segments mean simpler visual patterns, which suits a device aimed at users new to the Nothing ecosystem.

Flipkart Confirms the Sales Channel

Nothing has put up a dedicated microsite on Flipkart, locking in the e-commerce platform as the primary Indian sales channel. The launch event starts at 3:30 PM IST on July 7. Pricing will be officially revealed then, though leaks point to a range between ₹25,000 and ₹30,000 for the base model.

If the price holds near that lower end, the (4b) would compete directly with the Motorola Edge 50 Pro and the iQOO Z9x — phones that currently dominate the segment in India.

The July 7 launch event starts at 3:30 PM IST, and Nothing will confirm pricing then.
