Nothing Phone 4b Renders Leak in Three Colours Ahead of July 7 Launch

Three colour renders of the Nothing Phone 4b have surfaced from Indian tipsters, days before the phone’s confirmed India launch. The renders, shared by Abhishek Yadav and Debayan Roy, show a Blue variant and a White-and-Black pair, all carrying the transparent-style rear panel Nothing has used on its recent phones.

The renders are the visible news. The structural story sits beneath. Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis has confirmed the b-series sits below the Phone 4a in the company’s lineup, replacing the Lite branding and absorbing the budget slot left open by the cancelled CMF Phone 3 Pro.

Three colourways surface in leaked renders

The renders trace a familiar Nothing design language. Both Yadav and Roy’s images show a transparent-inspired rear with visible screws, flat sides, and rounded corners. The Glyph lighting is arranged in a bar similar to the Phone 4a, not the strip seen on Nothing’s flagship phones.

What stands out in the renders is the camera layout. The images show two large circular cutouts in an elongated camera island, with a pill-shaped module for the LED flash and what appears to be a secondary sensor sitting between the cameras and the Glyph bar. This central placement gives the rear a more symmetrical look than other Nothing phones, with the lenses set directly into the panel rather than housed in a raised module. Yadav’s render of the Blue variant matches Roy’s set on the broad shape, though Yadav’s image stops at one colour.

The Blue, Black, and White colourways come from Roy’s render set. Nothing has not commented on the visuals, and the renders cannot be confirmed as authentic until the company officially unveils the device. The Nothing India account separately posted the official Phone 4b sketch teaser, which showed multiple possible camera layouts and left the final design uncertain.

The b-series slots below the Phone 4a

Nothing’s co-founder has been explicit about where the Phone 4b lands. Akis Evangelidis, who is also the company’s India President, has confirmed the b-series sits below the Phone 4a in Nothing’s lineup. He framed the move as a permanent hierarchy rather than a one-off suffix on a single device. The ‘b’ marker is, in other words, a new product tier.

That changes the comparison frame inside the Nothing roster. The Phone 4a is positioned as the premium range below Nothing’s flagship phones, and the 4b is meant to live in the slot immediately under that. The b-series sits in the slot the Phone 3a Lite occupied a generation earlier. Evangelidis has separately said the Lite suffix is being retired as Nothing streamlines the way it names phones, with letters now standing in for whole segments. The b-series itself will be a repeating tier in future releases, not a one-time model.

A Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip surfaces on Geekbench

The chipset is on the record. A Geekbench 6 listing confirms Nothing’s choice of silicon for the 4b. The benchmarked unit’s usable memory read 7.25GB, consistent with the 8GB variant flagged by the test software.

The benchmark places the device in the same performance bracket as other phones on this chip shipping in India, where the silicon has been on shelves for over a year. Stepping the 4b down to a 6-series Snapdragon is a deliberate positioning move, not a spec slip. The remaining unknowns are configurations rather than the chip itself. The chip runs the latest version of Android out of the box, which lines up with Nothing’s pattern of shipping new phones on the most recent Android version.

• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 (SM6650)
• GPU: Adreno 810
• RAM: 8GB (usable 7.25GB on the benchmarked unit)
• OS: Android 16
• Model number: Nothing A009P

Tipster Yogesh Brar has separately said the device will be available in two memory configurations at launch, though Nothing has not announced specific storage variants. The 4a’s 5,400mAh battery is the reference Brar used when he said the 4b would carry “the same battery size as other models.” Buyers waiting for Nothing to confirm the configurations will get the answer at the launch event.

Replacing the Lite, absorbing a CMF-shaped gap

The b-series replaces more than a name suffix. Nothing launched the Phone 3a Lite in 2025 as the model below the vanilla Phone 3a, and the b-series is taking that slot in the lineup on a permanent basis. The previous Lite variant did not sit under a dedicated letter, so the new tier formalises a budget band Nothing has carried on an ad hoc basis for years. Nothing’s lineup is now structured around three named tiers: flagships at the top, the a-series in the upper mid-range, and the new b-series tier at the bottom. CMF’s phone business is parked for the year.

[B series] avoids overusing suffixes and provides a clearer naming structure as the portfolio expands.

Akis Evangelidis, Nothing’s co-founder and India President, wrote that on X. The co-founder’s post on the b-series naming arrived in the days before the Phone 4b launch was confirmed.

The CMF angle is what gives the b-series its timing. Nothing had planned a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro as the CMF Phone 3 Pro, but Evangelidis confirmed on June 19 that the device will not ship in 2026. The cancellation has been tied directly to memory prices, with India Today reporting Nothing pointed to rising memory costs as the reason.

Leaker Yogesh Brar has said on X that the cancelled hardware has been moved under the main Nothing brand. Nothing India posted the design sketch on June 21 with a one-word caption, ‘(b)usted.’ Nothing has not publicly confirmed that the 4b is the re-badged CMF project, but the timing and the stripped-down design language fit. The CMF cancellation has effectively redrawn where the Indian sub-Rs 25,000 Android tier sits in 2026.

The cancellation sits inside a wider pullback in India’s budget Android segment. Brands are pruning parts of their portfolios as memory costs rise, a context Nothing’s co-founder named directly in his June 19 cancellation post. The Phone 4b inherits the slot the cancelled CMF successor would have occupied, even if Nothing has not put a CMF badge on the device.

Price expectations point near Rs 30,000

The price leak lines up with the b-series slot. Tipster Debayan Roy has said the Phone 4b could land around Rs 30,000 or slightly higher in India, a band that sits below the Phone 4a’s starting price. The 91mobiles report on Roy’s tip notes the 4b would compete 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. Samsung has not officially launched those M-series and F-series models, so the comparison remains forward-looking.

Nothing has not confirmed any India price for the 4b. The “around Rs 30,000” figure is the most cited leak but it has not been corroborated by a second independent source on the same number. India’s pricing for budget Android phones has been moving up across the board this year, with multiple brands repricing or spec-reducing older models.

Five details Nothing has not officially confirmed ahead of launch:

• Official India price
• Final rear camera configuration (single or dual)
• Storage and RAM variants
• Display size and specifications
• Battery capacity

Even if the Rs 30,000 figure holds, it is a meaningful shift up the price ladder for a Nothing phone that aspires to be the brand’s entry point. The b-series now occupies the slot immediately below the Phone 4a. Nothing has not commented on a final figure, with the price leak from Roy being the most cited data point so far. Buyers weighing a Nothing device below Rs 35,000 will get the b-series badge, and buyers at the 4a tier keep the premium positioning. The Phone 4b teaser following the CMF Phone 3 Pro cancellation details how that gap materialised. Either way, the b-series is now a permanent part of Nothing’s public lineup, not a one-off model.

What’s still unverified before launch day

Ahead of the launch, the confirmed column is short. Nothing has officially confirmed the India launch date, the b-series positioning below the 4a, and the Nothing India teaser campaign. The chipset, the Geekbench listing, and the b-series naming have all been addressed by the company or its co-founder on the record.

The unconfirmed column is longer. The Blue, Black, and White colourways come from leaked renders rather than an official announcement. The camera configuration is unsettled, with the official teaser hinting at a single rear lens and the latest design sketches suggesting dual cameras. The India price remains leak-based. Nothing has not addressed the gap between the teaser and the sketches, and the chipset benchmark numbers for the 4b only cover the chipset tier, not the final variant breakdown. Buyers weighing the device ahead of the India launch will need to wait for Nothing to take the wraps off the rest.
