Nothing Phone (4b) release - Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, 6.77-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display, and 50MP OIS camera for ~RM1629

After all the teasers, Nothing has officially announced the Nothing Phone (4b) from £299 (~RM1629) in London. Featuring a 6.77-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display, rear Glyph Bar design, a 50MP OIS primary camera, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, it places above the CMF phone and below the Nothing Phone (4a) series. No Malaysia release dates yet though.

Same Glyph Bar looks

Design-wise the Nothing Phone (4b) combines design elements from previous iterations, pairing a simplified version of the rear Glyph Bar with a unibody polycarbonate rear panel. The outer body features a multi-layer coating to reduce fingerprints, and the chassis is certified with an IP64 rating for dust and water protection. 

Powered by Nothing OS 4.1 built on Android 16, Nothing says it will support 3 years of operating system upgrades and six years of security maintenance patches. There’s also a collaboration with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricket team for an RCB Edition variant distributed exclusively at the company's flagship location in Bengaluru.
