If you have been eyeing a Nothing phone but wincing at the price tags, today is your day. The Nothing Phone 4b sale date has finally arrived, and the first smartphone in the company’s brand-new (b) series is now available across India starting July 14. Priced at Rs 34,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant and Rs 38,699 for the 8GB + 256GB model, the phone drops to an effective Rs 29,999 and Rs 33,699 respectively once you stack the 7.5 percent instant bank discount with the exchange bonus. In other words, the see-through phone with the blinking lights just became a lot easier to justify.

Why the (b) Series Exists at All
Timing explains a lot here. The ongoing memory chip crunch has pushed smartphone prices up across the industry, and Nothing’s own lineup felt the squeeze. The Phone (4a) now starts at Rs 39,999 while the Phone (4a) Pro sits at Rs 49,999, which left a rather awkward hole in the sub Rs 35,000 segment. The Phone 4b exists to plug that gap. Think of it as the friendly bouncer at the door of the Nothing ecosystem, letting more people in without demanding flagship money.

Design That Still Turns Heads
Nothing has not diluted its signature look for the budget crowd. The Phone 4b carries a transparent-style polycarbonate unibody borrowed from the Phone (4a) Pro, and the company claims it is 20 percent more bend-resistant than the Phone (3a) Lite. The star of the show remains the upgraded Glyph Bar, now a grid of 45 mini LEDs spread across five squares and up to 40 percent brighter than earlier implementations. It handles notifications, timers and Live Updates from apps like Uber, Google Maps and Zomato. An IP64 rating rounds things off, so dust and splashes are covered, though swimming lessons are still off the menu.
The Nothing Phone 4b Specifications That Matter
Under the hood sits the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM, and Nothing says the phone has crossed one million points on AnTuTu. A 4,400 sq mm vapour chamber keeps thermals in check, a thoughtful touch for Indian summers. The 6.77-inch Super AMOLED display refreshes at 120Hz, peaks at 2,000 nits and supports HDR10+ along with a 1,000Hz instant touch sampling rate for gamers with quick thumbs.
The headline act, though, is the Nothing Phone 4b battery life story. India gets a 6,000mAh cell, the biggest battery Nothing has ever put in a phone, while global markets make do with 5,200mAh. The 33W wired charging takes it from zero to 50 percent in about 27 minutes and a full tank in roughly 80 minutes.
Cameras and Software
Photography duties fall to a 50MP main sensor with OIS, backed by an 8MP ultrawide with a 119.5-degree field of view and a 16MP selfie shooter. The TrueLens Engine 4 handles processing, with Ultra XDR capture co-developed with Google, 4K video at 30fps and simultaneous dual video recording. On the software side, the phone ships with Nothing OS 4.1 based on Android 16, complete with Essential Space and Essential Voice AI tools, three years of OS updates and six years of security patches. That is genuinely generous for this price bracket.
Where to Buy and What You Get
The phone comes in Black, White and Blue, and the Nothing Phone 4b Flipkart offers make the online route particularly tempting. It is also stocked at Croma, Reliance Digital, Vijay Sales and other authorised retail partners across the country, so touch-and-feel shoppers are sorted too.

Final Thoughts
The Phone 4b will not out-muscle flagships, and camera purists may want more than a dual rear setup. But as the best smartphone under Rs 35,000 for anyone who values design personality, clean software and marathon endurance, it makes a persuasive case. In a segment full of lookalike glass slabs, a phone that literally shows you what it is made of feels refreshingly honest. Nothing may have built its cheapest phone yet, but it certainly does not look the part, and that is precisely the point.
