# Nothing Phone (4b) Price and Specs Comparison Examining the pros and cons of the new mid-range smartphone. - **Source:** [GSMArena.com - Latest articles](https://brifing.si/source/ae58cd90-1e26-4445-9a9c-963b7954a50c) - **Published:** 2026-07-12 - **Topic:** [Product Management](https://brifing.si/c/product) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/c3cb6c24-46e4-4df5-9576-671512b1f67c ## Nothing's New Mid-Range Strategy Nothing announced it won't release a flagship in 2026 and canceled the CMF Phone 3 Pro. The company is now focusing on mid-range models like the Phone (4a) and new (4b), reflecting a strategy to streamline its product portfolio and optimize costs. ## Pricing and Regional Differences The Nothing Phone (4b) offers a more affordable alternative to the (4a), but price gaps vary by region: €20 in EU, £80 in UK, and ₹5,000 in India. The India-exclusive 8/256GB version with larger battery highlights regional strategic differences. ## Battery and Endurance Claims Nothing markets the (4b) as its longest-lasting phone, with a 6,000mAh battery in India and 5,200mAh globally. However, compared to competitors (Poco X8 Pro's 6,500mAh, Honor Magic8 Lite's 7,500mAh), this claim remains unverified through testing. ## Hardware and Performance Trade-offs The (4b) makes several compromises vs (4a): Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip, LPDDR4X RAM, UFS 2.2 storage, and lower camera specs (50MP main, no telephoto, 16MP selfie). These cuts raise questions about its price-to-performance ratio. ## Display and Durability While keeping the 6.77" size, the (4b) reduces resolution (1080p+), brightness (2,000 nits), and uses inferior Dragontail Pro Glass. Alternatives like the (4a) with Gorilla Glass 7i or IP69K-rated Honor Magic8 Lite appear more compelling. ## Positioning in Competitive Market Facing rivals like Poco X8 Pro (€350), Samsung Galaxy A57 (€320), and sub-€300 Honor Magic8 Lite, the Phone (4b)'s value proposition is questionable. Its 3-year software support notably trails competitors' 4-6 year update promises. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.gsmarena.com/weekly_poll_will_you_buy_the_nothing_phone_4b-news-73653.php — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
