Nothing built its name on flagship-looking phones with a mid-range price tag, and the Phone (4b) pushes that idea one step further. It's the first phone under the brand's new "B" series — a line meant to sit below the (4a) and bring the transparent design language to buyers who don't want to spend flagship money. Launched in India on 7 July 2026, it's already seen a couple of price drops, a few retail-exclusive offers, and a limited-edition colourway tied to the IPL. Here's where things stand as of late August 2026.
Launch Price and Current Price
The Phone (4b) went on sale at ₹34,999 for the base 8GB RAM / 128GB storage model. Since launch, that price has come down, and as of 24 August 2026 it's sitting closer to ₹31,188–₹31,198 depending on the retailer and ongoing bank offers.
| Variant | Launch Price | Current Price (Aug 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| 8GB + 128GB | ₹34,999 | ~₹31,188 |
| 8GB + 256GB | ₹38,699 | ~₹34,000 (varies by retailer) |
Prices move around a fair bit with sale events, so treat these as ballpark figures rather than fixed numbers. Flipkart's Freedom Sale, for instance, pushed the base variant down to around ₹30,280 once card discounts were applied — the lowest it's been since launch.
Bank Offers and Exchange Bonus
Nothing leaned on the usual playbook at launch: stack a bank discount with an exchange bonus and the effective price drops noticeably.
- Instant bank discount brings the 8GB/128GB model down to around ₹29,999
- The 8GB/256GB variant drops to roughly ₹33,699 with the same combination
- Exchange bonuses vary depending on the condition and model of the phone being traded in
These offers rotate depending on the retailer's active sale event, so it's worth checking Flipkart or the retail partner directly before buying if you're counting on a specific discount.
Where to Buy
The Phone (4b) isn't a Nothing-exclusive online release the way some of the brand's earlier phones were. It's available across:
- Flipkart (primary online partner)
- Croma
- Reliance Digital
- Vijay Sales
This wider retail spread is a shift from Nothing's earlier strategy of leaning almost entirely on online-only drops, and it makes the phone easier to physically check out before buying — something a lot of first-time Nothing buyers seem to want.
Colour Options
| Colour | Notes |
|---|---|
| Black | Standard launch colour |
| White | Standard launch colour |
| Blue | Standard launch colour |
| RCB Edition | Limited red colourway tied to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, released as part of Nothing's IPL marketing push |
The RCB Edition is the one generating the most attention online, mostly because Nothing rarely does licensed or team-branded colourways. If you want it, it's worth checking stock early since limited runs tend to sell out faster than the standard colours.
What You're Getting for the Price
A price tag only means something in context, so here's a quick look at what the (4b) actually packs:
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Chipset | Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 (4nm) |
| Display | 6.77" FHD+ Samsung Super AMOLED, 120Hz, up to 2,000 nits |
| RAM / Storage | 8GB LPDDR4x / 128GB–256GB UFS 2.2 |
| Rear Camera | 50MP main (OIS) + 8MP ultra-wide |
| Front Camera | 16MP |
| Battery | 6,000mAh with 33W wired charging |
| Build | Polycarbonate unibody, IP64 rated |
| Software | Nothing OS 4.1 on Android 16, 3 years of OS updates, 6 years of security patches |
The Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 is a step down from what you'd find on the (4a), and the 33W charging cap plus UFS 2.2 storage are clear cost-cutting choices. Nothing's own reasoning is that this generation of B-series phones needed to hit a lower price point despite an industry-wide jump in memory chip costs — which is also why the (4a) and (4a) Pro have both crept up in price this year.
Is the Price Worth It?
For what you're paying, the (4b) still gives you Nothing's signature transparent design, the Glyph Bar, a genuinely large 6,000mAh battery, and a long update commitment most budget phones don't offer. The trade-offs — an older chipset, capped charging speed, and UFS 2.2 storage — are the kind of compromises you'd expect once a company aims for a lower price bracket rather than chasing spec-sheet wins.
If design and software longevity matter more to you than raw performance, the current ~₹31,000 price puts it in a reasonable spot against other mid-rangers in the same bracket.
Once you've picked up the phone, it's worth protecting that transparent back panel — you can check out cases built specifically for the Nothing Phone (4b) case if you want something that fits the design without covering it up entirely.
