Nothing Phone 4b chipset confirmed, it will be Snapdragon
Nothing has confirmed that the upcoming Phone (4b) will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor ahead of its July 7 launch. While the exact chipset remains under wraps, leaks are already giving us a hint on what the new affordable Nothing phone is expected to pack inside.
Nothing is gradually revealing more details about its next smartphone ahead of its July 7 launch event. After teasing the design and introducing the new Glyph Bar, the London-based company has now confirmed that the upcoming Nothing Phone 4b will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.
While the exact chipset remains under wraps, recent leaks suggest the phone could feature the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 SoC, positioning it as a capable mid-range device with AI-focused features.
The upcoming Nothing Phone 4b will also mark the debut of the company's new 'b' series, which is expected to serve as a more affordable entry point into the Nothing ecosystem. The company says the new lineup is designed to bring its signature software experience, transparent design language and AI-powered features to a broader audience without compromising the core Nothing identity.
In a brief announcement, Nothing said the Snapdragon processor will deliver faster, more efficient performance while enabling advanced on-device AI capabilities. However, the company stopped short of revealing which Snapdragon platform will power the handset. More details are expected in the run-up to the launch. The company has confirmed that the Phone 4b will be unveiled on July 7 at 4 pm IST, when its specifications, price and availability are also expected to be announced.
Nothing has also opened registrations for the Phone 4b on its official website, allowing interested users to sign up for updates ahead of the launch. The smartphone is expected to make its global debut alongside its India launch at the same event.
Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 expected
Although Nothing has not officially named the chipset, several reports and a recent Geekbench listing suggest that the Phone 4b could be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor. The benchmark listing also indicates that the device may come with 8GB of RAM and run Android 16-based Nothing OS out of the box, making it one of the first smartphones to ship with Google's latest operating system.
If the leaks are accurate, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 should offer noticeable improvements in everyday performance, battery efficiency and AI processing compared with previous-generation mid-range chips. It is also expected to support faster image processing, smoother multitasking and improved gaming performance.
Expected specifications
Beyond the chipset, several key specifications of the Phone 4b have already surfaced online. According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the smartphone may feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It is also tipped to pack a 5,400mAh battery and feature a dual rear camera setup led by a 50-megapixel primary sensor.
The phone is expected to be available in two storage configurations: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage. While Nothing has officially teased a blue colour option, leaks suggest the handset could launch in three different colours.
Nothing Phone 4b expected price in India
