Nothing Phone 4b surfaces on Geekbench with Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 ahead of July 7th launch
Nothing may be sparsely revealing details about its upcoming “budget” phone, the nothing Phone 4b, but it’s time certifications and listings start doing most of the talking. The Nothing Phone 4b has appeared on Geekbench ahead of its launch in India on July 7th, giving us an early look at the hardware. Here’s what the listing reveals.
Nothing Phone 4b specifications
The Nothing Phone 4b listing, spotted by us, suggests that the device will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and Android 16 out of the box. The benchmarked unit, carrying model number A009P, scored 1,088 in the single-core test and 3,155 in the multi-core test on Geekbench 6. It also achieved an OpenCL score of 2,896, indicating the performance users can expect from the Adreno 810 GPU.

Nothing has already teased the device and recently shared a sketch video revealing parts of its design. The phone appears to retain the company’s signature transparent aesthetic. However, leaked visuals suggest it could feature a single rear camera, a decision that may divide opinion in a market where even entry-level and mid-range smartphones typically offer dual-camera setups.
The Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor features CPU clock speeds of 2.30GHz, 2.21GHz, and 1.80GHz across its cores. While benchmark scores do not always reflect real-world performance, the chipset has already been seen in devices such as the OPPO K13 5G and Realme P3 5G.
For reference, the OPPO K13 5G launched in India at Rs 17,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant, while the Realme P3 5G debuted at Rs 16,999 for the 6GB + 128GB model. This gives an indication of the performance segment Nothing could be targeting with the Phone (4b).
India launch details
The Phone (4b) is scheduled to launch globally on July 7th. Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis recently explained the company’s revised product naming strategy. According to him, numbers will represent product generations, while letters will define product segments. He also confirmed that the a-series will remain Nothing’s most premium lineup below its flagship smartphones, while the newly introduced b-series is aimed at a different segment, presumably budget. The company is also retiring the “Lite” branding as it streamlines its portfolio.
Users shopping in the sub-Rs 30,000 segment, waiting until the July 7th launch may be worthwhile. The Phone (4b) could deliver a similar Nothing experience at a lower price, though its final value will depend on pricing, cameras, and overall feature set. With budget phones from OPPO, Realme, iQOO, and Motorola already competing aggressively in the sub-Rs 25,000 segment, Nothing will need more than just its transparent design to stand out.
