Nothing has launched the Phone 4b in India, starting at Rs. 34,999, featuring a transparent design, upgraded Glyph Bar and Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip. However, it faces tough competition from OnePlus Nord 5 and Redmi Turbo 5, which offer stronger processors, bigger batteries and faster charging at similar prices.

The Nothing Phone 4b has launched in India, making it the first phone from the London-based tech giant in the 'b' series. It comes with the brand's usual visual flourish, a clear back panel, an upgraded Glyph Bar and a design language that instantly sets it apart on a store shelf. But the Rs. 34,999 to Rs. 38,699 price band it occupies happens to be one of the most fiercely contested segments in the Indian smartphone market. The question worth asking is whether striking design alone is enough to win over buyers who have several strong, spec heavy alternatives at similar or even lower prices.

What does the Nothing Phone 4b bring to the table?

The Nothing Phone 4b runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset with up to 8GB of RAM, paired with a 6.77-inch AMOLED display at 120Hz. Its standout feature is a 6,000mAh battery, the largest Nothing has fitted into a phone, with 33W wired charging. The camera setup includes a 50-megapixel main sensor with optical image stabilisation and an 8-megapixel ultrawide lens. Nothing backs the device with three years of OS updates and six years of security patches, and wraps all of it inside a design built around the Glyph Bar and a bend resistant unibody with IP64 protection.
