Nothing's new Phone (4b) starts at $415 (₹34,999), undercutting the Phone (4a)'s $337 (₹31,999) launch price, and it packs a bigger 6,000mAh battery to match. But it trades away the sharper 144Hz display, the faster Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip, and the telephoto camera that make the Phone (4a) the more capable phone overall.

Both share Nothing's signature transparent design, clean Nothing OS 4.1 software, and the same long update support. So the real decision comes down to seven key differences: design and build, display, performance, cameras, battery and charging, software, and price.

Here’s how they compare.

/1. Design and Build

Both phones immediately stand out because they don’t look like every other Android phone. The Phone (4b) keeps the transparent-inspired styling with the new Glyph Bar on the back, while borrowing the durable polycarbonate unibody from previous models.

The Phone (4a), however, feels a bit more premium thanks to its glass construction and slightly better IP65 rating. It also includes the larger Glyph interface and a more premium overall finish.

💡

Winner: Nothing Phone (4a). It simply feels more premium without being dramatically more expensive.
