The Nothing Phone (4b) arrives in Europe on 17 July 2026 priced at €329. For that money you get a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip, a 5200 mAh battery and six years of software updates. That last part is usually reserved for far more expensive flagships, so the number raises an eyebrow.
Where the price stands out
Most phones in the €300–400 range promise updates for 2–3 years. Nothing gives the Phone (4b) 3 Android version upgrades and 6 years of security patches, keeping the phone secure until 2032. At 5200 mAh the battery is one of the largest in this class, and the maker promises it will still hold 90 percent of its capacity after 1200 charging cycles.
- Display: 6.77-inch AMOLED, 120 Hz, up to 2000 nits, readable even in bright sunlight
- Camera: 50 MP main camera with optical stabilisation (OIS), 4K video, 16 MP front camera
- Software: Nothing OS 4.1 on top of Android 16, clean and ad-free, with minimal bloatware
- Design: Glyph Bar with 45 diodes (40% brighter than earlier models), side-mounted notification indicator
- Durability: IP64 protection against water and dust, Dragontail Pro glass
Where corners were cut
Some savings are obvious. There is no wireless charging at all, leaving only 33 W wired charging, which fills the battery in about 80 minutes. The Nothing Phone (4a) charges faster at 50 W and has a 3.5x optical zoom, while the price gap is often just €20–50. RAM is capped at 8 GB, there is no microSD slot, and there is no optical-zoom camera.
How it compares to rivals
In the same price class, the more popular models line up like this:
- Nothing Phone (4b) — €329: 5200 mAh, 33 W charging, 6 years of updates
- Nothing Phone (4a) — ~€350–400: 5080 mAh, 50 W charging, 3.5x optical zoom, 6 years of updates
- Samsung Galaxy A36 — €359–399: 5000 mAh, 45 W, IP67 protection, 4 years of updates
- CMF Phone 2 Pro — €249–289: 5000 mAh, 33 W charging, 3 years of updates
Who it's for
The Phone (4b) is worth buying if you care about long software support and a big battery but don't need an optical-zoom camera or wireless charging. €329 is a solid price, since for the same money most rivals offer support for only 3–4 years. One thing to weigh: if your budget stretches to €350–400, the Nothing 4a deserves a serious look, because it offers more.
