TL; DR (tap to expand)

Nothing has shared a cryptic “(b)” teaser following its earlier Pokémon teasers.
The teaser has sparked speculation around a possible Nothing Phone 4(b) or an entirely new b-series device.
Tipster Yogesh Brar claims a new Nothing smartphone could launch as early as next month.

Nothing’s latest teaser is just a single character: “(b)”. The post follows Nothing’s earlier Pokémon-themed teasers featuring pixel-art versions of Jumpluff and Blastoise. The company has a history of using Pokémon references ahead of product launches, hinting at upcoming devices. The appearance of “(b)” shortly afterward now confirms that a new product is on the way.

The biggest theory right now is that Nothing could be preparing a Nothing Phone 4(b). The company already has its flagship lineup and the slightly more affordable but mid-range “(a)” series, leading some to believe a new “b” series could slot in below the “(a)” series as a budget option.

Whatever the name is, we do know that a smartphone from Nothing is on its way, thanks to information shared by tipster Yogesh Brar on X. He claims that Nothing has a smartphone launch lined up as early as next month. If that’s the case, a device priced around ₹25,000 would fit neatly into the gap created by the rising prices of Nothing’s existing Phone 4(a).
