Nothing overtakes all other smartphone brands in India, with a year-over-year growth rate of 105% in Q2 2026

“Nothing” became India’s fastest-growing smartphone brand in Q2 2026, with an impressive 105% year-on-year growth rate. This is the ninth time it has been recognised in ten consecutive quarters, thanks to robust demand for the Phone 4a Series and improved brand presence from RCB title sponsorship during the IPL. On its first day, the Phone 4b sold the most in the ₹30,000+ segment on Flipkart, with the limited RCB Edition selling out in less than two hours.

Nothing has been named India’s fastest-growing smartphone brand for Q2 2026, with a 105% year-on-year increase, according to Counterpoint Research’s Q2 2026 India Smartphone Shipment Tracker. The company attributes this exceptional rise mainly to strong demand for the Phone 4a Series and better brand recognition due to its sponsorship of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru during the Indian Premier League (IPL). This achievement is particularly meaningful as it highlights the continued strength of Nothing in a very competitive smartphone market, where it has been recognised as the fastest-growing smartphone brand in India for nine of the last ten quarters.

As per the company, consumer response has been positive. The Phone 4b became the highest-selling smartphone in the above ₹30,000 category on Flipkart during its launch sale. The Phone 4b RCB Edition, a limited-edition phone, also sold out in less than two hours, highlighting the outstanding support and participation of the Nothing community in India.
