  • Nothing has posted a teaser video revealing the Phone 4b’s design.
  • The Nothing Phone 4b launches in India and globally on July 7th.

When a Nothing phone launches, there’s always greater anticipation around its design, and rightly so since the company does pretty interesting things with its signature transparent aesthetic. Similar is the case with the Nothing Phone 4b, which is confirmed to launch as one of the company’s more affordable phones on July 7th. Shortly after leaks emerged giving us what could be the clearest look yet at the upcoming smartphone, the same leaked design was confirmed by a teaser video posted by Nothing which completely revealed the phone’s design.

Nothing Phone 4b design and colour options

A new video posted by Nothing’s global X page shows the Phone 4b will continue Nothing’s distinctive design language. This came shortly after tipsters Abhishek Yadav and Debayan Roy shared renders showcasing the phone in different colour options.

The official video plays out with the Phone 4b being sketched. The design is very Nothing, featuring a transparent-inspired rear panel, visible screws, flat sides, rounded corners and the Glyph lighting system arranged in a bar like the Phone 4a. There’s a dual rear camera setup in two large left-aligned cutouts which sit on an iPhone 17 Pro-like plateau with the LED flash and Glyph system. Between the cameras and Glyph strip sits a pill-shaped module housing the LED flash and another circular sensor or decorative element. The plateau seems to have a bit of a texture with accents on the top and right and some screws placed asymmetrically to lend to the industrial aesthetic. Overall, the placement of the plateau gives the design a more symmetrical look than other Nothing phones. The phone uses a flat-frame design with rounded corners. The frame appears metallic, although leaks suggest the final product may use plastic.

While the video shows only a blue option, the leaked image shared by Roy shows white and dark grey/black colours too. The blue version is arguably the most striking, as the coloured internal panel makes the transparent-inspired design elements stand out more prominently. 

India launch details and expected price

Nothing co-founder and India President Akis Evangelidis has confirmed that the Phone 4b will sit below the Phone 4a in the company’s portfolio, establishing what appears to be the long-term positioning of the b-series. Current leaks suggest the Phone 4b could be priced around Rs 30,000 or slightly higher. If accurate, that would place it below the Nothing Phone 4a, which starts at Rs 37,999 in India, while competing with devices such as Motorola’s starting Edge 70 series models, OnePlus Nord CE phones and Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy M47 and Galaxy F70 Pro.

A recent Geekbench listing had already pointed to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset. Nothing will likely rely on its distinctive hardware design, clean Android experience and long-term software support to justify the price premium, if the leaks are true. For buyers who prioritise those factors over performance, the Phone 4b could emerge as one of the more interesting options when it launches on July 7th.
