Nothing Phone 4b: They Can't Say It!
In a Nutshell
Nothing's new Phone 4B is a budget 330-euro Android phone with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, 120 Hz OLED, dual cameras, and full Glyph lights, but it has a plastic build, slower UFS 2.2 storage, and no wireless charging. It delivers the full Nothing OS experience and solid battery life at a lower price point than the A-series, targeting India and Europe. The phone essentially fills the gap below the A-series as Nothing's cheapest current model.

Nothing's head of marketing explained that the B stands for a continuation of their naming system where numbers represent generations and letters indicate different product segments. The B series builds on the success of the A series by expanding into a new segment while the A series remains their most premium line below flagship products.
The reviewer interprets the B as standing for budget, positioning the Phone 4B as an even cheaper option than the A series. The flagship Phone 3 sits at the top, followed by the A series, then the new B series at the bottom. The phone launches at exactly 330 euros or 300 pounds and is not available in the US market, though it targets India and Europe in a competitive price bracket.
The reviewer maintains a theory that Nothing cannot produce a high-end competitive flagship due to high costs relative to their production volume. A new theory suggests this phone was originally intended as a CMF Phone 3 Pro. Memory price spikes pushed the bill of materials higher than acceptable for the CMF sub-brand, leading to its conversion into a slightly more expensive but more premium Nothing Phone.
The Phone 4B measures 6.8 inches with a transparent window on the top half featuring more texture and exposed screws with metal-looking pieces. Glyph lights remain on the side. The entire body is plastic and feels plastic, though the clear top window appears more glassy and premium. Color options include blue, black, and white, all with black buttons on the flat sides.
