Nothing Phone 4(b) specifications and feature

The Nothing Phone (4b) fuses the well-accepted design with durable polycarbonate unibody of the Phone (4a) Pro and the fan-favorite Glyph Bar from the Phone (4a).

Nothing says it has overhauled its signature light interface on the back. The new Glyph Bar uses a grid of 45 mini-LEDs split across five squares with no light ‘bleeding’.Users can visually track Uber rides, food deliveries, timers, and battery charging progress via the back lights. Users can set up custom light flashes for specific contacts or even configure the lights to flash when live cricket scores change.On the front is a 6.77-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a fast in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood, the Phone (4b) is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC, which offers a 240% leap in AI processing compared to the Phone (3a) Lite. The phone boasts a massive internal Vapor Chamber cooling system to prevent overheating. It supports smooth 120 frames-per-second (fps) gaming on titles like League of Legends: Wild Rift and up to 90 fps on Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI).

Coming to the cameras, the Phone (4b) features a 50MP main camera equipped with dual-axis Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to prevent blurry shots, alongside an 8MP ultra-wide lens.

Powered by the new TrueLens Engine 4.0 and an Ultra XDR mode co-developed with Google, the camera snaps 13 separate RAW photos at different exposures and instantly blends them together for stunningly real-life colours. One of the phone’s biggest selling points is its battery life. The Phone (4b) packs the longest-lasting battery of any Nothing phone to date: a 6,000 mAh battery into the Indian variant with impact-resistant Safe Cell Technology, extending the battery’s lifespan to retain 90% of its health even after 1,200 charges.

The phone is IP64 certified for dust and water resistance, is 20% more bend-resistant than the Phone (3a) Lite.The smartphone ships with the new Nothing OS 4.1 (built on Android 16), promising a clean, fast software experience with zero bloatware.
