Nothing Phone 4b Launches in India with 6,000mAh Battery and Glyph Bar
Nothing has officially introduced its first smartphone under the new ‘B’ series in India—the Nothing Phone (4b). The device brings a robust 6,000mAh battery, a Snapdragon processor, and the brand’s signature Glyph interface. Alongside the standard model, the company also unveiled a special RCB Edition, catering to cricket enthusiasts. The RCB variant went on sale immediately at the Nothing flagship store in Bengaluru through a limited drop event, while the standard model will be available for open sale starting next week.
Pricing, Offers, and Availability
Nothing has positioned the Phone 4b competitively in the Indian market. The base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at ₹34,999, while the top-end model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage costs ₹38,999. To attract buyers, the company is offering a 7.5 percent instant bank discount along with an attractive exchange bonus during the launch period. The smartphone is available in three color options: Black, Blue, and White. Open sales begin on July 14 through Flipkart, as well as major offline retailers such as Croma, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales.
Software and Display Excellence
The dual-SIM smartphone runs on Nothing OS 4.1, which is based on the latest Android 16. Nothing has committed to providing three years of major OS upgrades and six years of security updates, offering users long-term reliability. The device features a 6.77-inch Full-HD+ Samsung Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. It also supports 480Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort. Protection comes from AGC DT-Star 2 glass, and the phone carries an IP64 rating for dust and water splash resistance.
Performance and Cooling Technology
At the heart of the Nothing Phone 4b is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, an octa-core processor built on a 4-nanometer fabrication process. Graphics are handled by the Adreno 810 GPU, while AI tasks are managed by the Hexagon NPU. The device offers 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. To manage heat during gaming or heavy usage, Nothing has equipped the phone with an advanced vapor chamber cooling system covering a 4,400 square millimeter heat dissipation area.
Glyph Bar: Signature Nothing Design
The rear panel features a striking Glyph Bar interface with 45 mini-LED lights arranged across four individually addressable zones. This isn’t just for aesthetics; the Glyph Bar supports practical functions such as a Glyph timer, essential notifications, live updates, a volume indicator, camera countdown, NFC indicator, and flip-to-Glyph mode. It enhances user interaction without needing to glance at the screen.
Camera Capabilities and Battery Life
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the dual-camera setup on the back. The primary 50-megapixel sensor from Samsung includes both optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS), reducing blur in photos. It is paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera offering a 119.5-degree field of view. For selfies, there is a 16-megapixel front camera capable of recording video in 4K quality.
The standout feature of the Nothing Phone 4b is its massive 6,000mAh battery. It supports 33W wired fast charging and 7.5W reverse wired charging. The company claims the phone can go from zero to 100 percent in just 80 minutes. Connectivity options include 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 6.0, and an in-display optical fingerprint sensor. The device weighs approximately 210 grams.
