Yogesh Brar posted the Nothing Phone 4b spec sheet on X on June 25, ahead of Nothing’s planned July 7 launch. The leak covers three colours, two memory options, a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, a 50-megapixel camera, and a 5,400mAh battery.

The phone lands as the first device in a brand-new product tier Nothing calls the b-series, sitting below the Phone 4a in the company’s lineup. It also arrives shortly after Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis confirmed the cancellation of the CMF Phone 3 Pro for 2026, a decision driven by the same memory price surge that now shapes every budget phone on the market.

The Specs Yogesh Brar Posted

Brar’s post is the clearest spec dump yet for the Phone 4b, and it lines up with a Geekbench entry filed earlier in the week. The phone runs a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, the same silicon already shipping in the OPPO K13 5G and the Realme P3 5G in India. It pairs that with 8GB of RAM in both storage tiers, 128GB and 256GB, and Nothing has not listed a higher-memory variant.

The screen is a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The rear camera is listed at 50 megapixels, though Brar did not detail the secondary lens or the front camera. The battery is the standout number on the sheet at 5,400mAh, larger than what Nothing put in the Phone 4a and well above the 5,000mAh floor that has become standard in the Indian mid-range.

The full spec sheet Brar posted:

Component Leaked spec
Display 6.7-inch AMOLED, 120Hz
Chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4
RAM 8GB
Storage 128GB or 256GB
Rear camera 50MP (main)
Battery 5,400mAh
Colours Three (White, Blue, Black)

A Design That Borrows From CMF

Nothing confirmed the Phone 4b’s design in a video on its global page on June 25. The render shows a blue handset with a transparent-inspired rear panel, visible screws, flat sides, rounded corners, and a Glyph lighting system arranged in a horizontal bar like the one on the Phone 4a.

The dual rear camera sits in an oval-shaped module positioned toward the top-left of the rear panel, with an LED flash and additional sensors alongside it. The frame appears metallic in the official render, though leaks suggest the final product may use plastic. The flat frame blends into the curved rear edges.

Nothing has dropped the segmented Glyph Interface for this model. Instead, the Phone 4b carries a compact horizontal Glyph Bar positioned near the bottom of the camera island, expected to handle visual notifications, charging indicators, and app-specific alerts. The blue colourway is the one Nothing has shown officially; tipsters Debayan Roy and Abhishek Yadav have separately leaked renders in white and dark grey or black.

The B-Series Is a New Tier, Not a Trim

Nothing co-founder and India President Akis Evangelidis confirmed that the Phone 4b will sit below the Phone 4a in the company’s portfolio, establishing the long-term positioning of the b-series. The naming convention is deliberate: numbers refer to product generations, letters refer to segments.

The Phone 4b is designed for a new generation of users while preserving the brand’s signature transparent identity.

Nothing, in a press note reported by Gadgets360, frames the b-series as a fresh entry point rather than a cut-down version of an existing phone. The a-series stays in place as the premium range below Nothing’s flagships. The b-series is meant for what sits beneath that, a third layer in a portfolio that until now had only two.

The Lite branding is being retired as Nothing streamlines its lineup. The Phone 4b is the first device the new tier will carry, and the July 7 launch is timed as the public unveiling of the strategy, not just a phone.

The CMF Cancellation Sits Behind the Launch

On June 19, Evangelidis confirmed on X that CMF would not launch a smartphone in 2026, ending months of speculation around the CMF Phone 3 Pro. The CMF Phone 2 Pro had launched in April 2025 at Rs 18,999 with a Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset and a triple camera setup. Building a direct successor at the same configuration would have pushed the price past CMF’s ceiling, and the company chose to skip the year rather than ship an iterative update.

The driver is the same memory cost surge reshaping every budget phone on the market:

  • Mobile DRAM contract prices climbed 50% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2026, per Counterpoint Research data cited in industry coverage.
  • NAND flash storage climbed more than 90% in the same window.
  • Memory now accounts for around 43% of a sub-$200 phone’s bill of materials, up from 10% to 15% historically.

The Phone 4b is the first device Nothing has teased publicly since the CMF cancellation. Per coverage of the cancellation and its aftermath, leaker Yogesh Brar has said existing CMF hardware concepts have moved under the main Nothing brand, with one of those projects launching as the Phone 4b. Nothing has not confirmed the link, but the timing fits: teaser campaign days after the cancellation post, a stripped-down visual language, and a rear camera setup that matches the profile of a re-badged budget device.

The CMF Phone 2 Pro won MKBHD’s Best Value award for 2025. The Phone 4b inherits the price band it vacated, and the industry-wide memory pressure that forced the cancellation now sets the floor for what the Phone 4b can cost.

Where the Phone 4b Fits in India

Current leaks peg the Phone 4b at around Rs 30,000 in India, placing it Rs 3,000 to Rs 5,000 below the Phone 4a, which starts at Rs 37,999. That puts the device in the upper budget band rather than the mid-range, and it overlaps with the Motorola Edge 70 series, the OnePlus Nord CE line, and Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy M47 and Galaxy F70 Pro.

The Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 already has two reference points in India at lower prices. The OPPO K13 5G launched at Rs 17,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant. The Realme P3 5G debuted at Rs 16,999 for the 6GB + 128GB model. Both run the same Qualcomm silicon.

Nothing is leaning on its design language and clean software experience to justify the price gap. India pre-orders will run through Flipkart, where a dedicated microsite for the Phone 4b has already gone live.

What Nothing Hasn’t Confirmed

Nothing is holding most of the spec sheet for the July 7 stage. The official teaser hints at a single rear camera, but leaked engineering sketches show two circular modules plus a smaller cutout that could be a flash or a third sensor. The hardware remains under wraps.

The leak sequence so far:

  1. June 19: Evangelidis confirms CMF Phone 3 Pro cancelled for 2026.
  2. June 22: Nothing design teaser microsite goes live in India.
  3. June 24: Phone 4b surfaces on Geekbench with model number A009P.
  4. June 25: Nothing posts official design video on its global page.
  5. June 25: Yogesh Brar posts the full spec sheet in a widely shared post.
  6. July 7: Official launch at 11:00 BST.

Final pricing, the full camera configuration, and the complete storage tiers beyond the two Brar listed will all land on stage. The Phone 4b arrives as the first device built to anchor an entirely new product tier, and the launch will set the price ceiling for every Nothing device below the flagships for the rest of the year.
