Nothing’s next midrange phone, the Nothing Phone (4b), has shown up in real-world photos ahead of its July 7 reveal, and the leak does most of the talking for the company. The images point to a plastic-frame handset in blue, black, and white, while also exposing a 6000 mAh battery, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip, and a familiar Nothing-style camera setup. It also appears to support 33W charging.
That combination puts the Phone (4b) squarely in the increasingly crowded upper-budget segment, where battery size often matters more than headline-grabbing benchmark claims. It also suggests Nothing is leaning harder into practical upgrades than raw performance this time around, which is hardly a bad idea if it wants to stand out from the usual spec soup.
Nothing Phone (4b) colors and design details
According to the leaked photos, all three color options use a plastic frame. The blue and black versions appear to ship with black side buttons, while the white model gets white buttons, a small detail that at least shows someone in design signed off on the matching accents.
Nothing had already shown the phone’s design itself, but live shots are useful because they tend to expose the bits marketing slides skip over. In this case, the device looks aligned with the company’s usual transparent-era aesthetic, even if the new images focus more on the hardware than the theatre.
Nothing Phone (4b) specs spotted in the about-phone screen
The clearest leak comes from the ”About phone” page, which lists a 6.7-inch flexible AMOLED display. The screenshots do not mention resolution or refresh rate, so the company is keeping at least a couple of cards close to its chest.
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Storage: 128 GB
- Rear cameras: 50 MP main with optical image stabilization, 8 MP secondary
- Front camera: 16 MP
- Battery: 6000 mAh
- Charging: 33 W fast charging, charger not included
- Software: Nothing OS 4.1 based on Android 16
The chip choice is especially interesting because the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 sits below the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 used in the Nothing Phone (4a). That’s a clear hint that Nothing is not chasing the ”bigger number, better phone” crowd; instead, it’s pushing endurance and design as the headline acts. The 6000 mAh cell is also the largest battery Nothing has put in a phone so far, which should give it a better shot at all-day and then some battery life.
What the leak leaves unanswered
There are still some gaps, most obviously whether 8 GB and 128 GB will be the only configuration or just the one captured in the photos. The missing display specs matter too, because a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel can be excellent or merely fine depending on how bright, sharp, and fast it turns out to be.
With the launch set for July 7, Nothing has only a short window to frame the Nothing Phone (4b) as more than a battery-first sidegrade. If the final pricing is sharp, the phone could look smart rather than conservative; if not, rivals with faster chips will have an easy time making their case.
