Nothing has expanded its lineup with the new Phone (4b), a more affordable entry into the company’s ecosystem. At first glance, the two phones look similar. Both have Nothing’s distinctive transparent-inspired design, clean Android software, and long software support. But once you dig deeper, there are some important differences.

The Phone (4b) is aimed at buyers who want the Nothing experience without spending too much, while the Phone (4a) targets users willing to pay more for better cameras, faster performance, and quicker charging.

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.
