Quick Summary

The Nothing Phone (4b) is due to be announced on 7 July in a livestream event.

Here's how you can watch it and what to expect.

Nothing has had a busy year, launching the Phone (4a) and the Phone (4a) Pro, the latter introducing an aluminium unibody to give it a sleek design. But there's another phone joining the pack in the form of the Nothing Phone (4b).

The (b) doesn't actually stand for anything, but it marks out a new tier of phones, still part of the 4 family, but taking a step down. So while some of the specs will be a grade lower, we're expecting it to be cheaper too.

Here's how to watch the unveiling of the Nothing Phone (4a) live, as well as a rundown of everything we know about Nothing's new affordable phone.

How to watch the Nothing Phone (4b) launch?

The Nothing Phone (4b) launch will be livesteamed on YouTube, where it's likely that we'll see an introduction from co-founder Carl Pei, with support from other Nothing execs. The video is near the top of the page for your convenience, or you can watch it on YouTube here.

The Nothing Phone (4b) launch will take place at 11am BST on 7 July 2026.

What to expect from the Nothing Phone (4b)

The Nothing Phone (4b) design has already been revealed, while there's also going to be a special limited edition model for cricket fans. The design reflects what as saw with the Nothing Phone (4a), but with some modifications to reflect its lower positioning.

Nothing has confirmed that it's Snapdragon powered, with leaks suggesting that it'll come with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4. That positions it as an entry- to mid-range device, as does the expected 8GB RAM.

Moving on, Nothing hasn't officially revealed much more, but we believe that it will have a 5,000mAh battery on the international version while India will have a 6,000mAh battery.

There's thought to be a 6.7-inch screen with 120Hz refresh, while there are Glyph lights on the back as part of the design – with blue, black and white models expected.

The camera is said to be 50-megapixels with an 8-megapixel ultrawide, while there's a 16-megapixel camera on the front.

What's exciting about the Nothing Phone (4b) is that you're getting a great design and a nice big display.

We don't know the price at the moment, but we're expecting it to be in Nothing stores from 11 July.
