Nothing wants to bring its flashy smartphones to people on a strict budget. The company confirmed today that the upcoming Phone 4b, launching in India on July 7, will run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
The Phone 4b is not just a one-off. It kicks off Nothing’s new ‘b’ series, which sits below the flagship and mid-range ‘a’ series. This lineup targets the crowded sub-₹25,000 market.
Why Snapdragon matters for a budget phone
Nothing has not officially named the exact processor yet, but recent Geekbench leaks for a device labeled “A009P” (the presumed Phone 4b) show it running the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4.
This matters for buyers in this price range. Most budget phones use standard MediaTek chips to cut costs. By choosing Snapdragon, Nothing aims to deliver better battery life, smoother gaming, and real on-device AI features you rarely see in cheap phones.
A new take on the Glyph interface
Every Nothing phone needs lights on the back, but the complex multi-segmented LED array from the flagship models costs a lot to build.
For the Phone 4b, teasers show a simpler design. The back gets a single horizontal LED strip, called the ‘Glyph Bar,’ just under a dual-camera setup. It still lights up for notifications, app alerts, and charging progress, but this change helps Nothing keep the price down.

We will have to wait for the official July 7 event for pricing and final details, but leaks already point to a clear picture of what to expect from the Phone 4b.
