Nothing Teases Snapdragon Power for the Upcoming Phone (4b)

The hype machine is officially rolling. Nothing has confirmed that its upcoming Phone (4b), set for a July 7 debut, will pack a Snapdragon chipset under the hood. While the company is playing coy regarding the specific model, the rumor mill—and a recent Geekbench sighting—have already done some of the detective work for us.

If the leaked benchmark data holds water, we are likely looking at the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 paired with 8GB of RAM. Perhaps the most interesting detail is that the device is expected to ship with Android 16 right out of the box, positioning it as a fresh, albeit budget-friendly, entry in the Nothing ecosystem.

What Else Can We Expect?

Based on the latest whispers circulating ahead of the launch, the Phone (4b) appears to be rounding out its spec sheet with some solid mid-range hardware:

Display: A crisp 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Camera: A capable 50MP main shooter.
Battery: A beefy 5,400mAh cell to keep things running throughout the day.
Storage: Options for 128GB or 256GB of internal space.

We’ve already caught a glimpse of the device’s design, and while it stays true to the signature Nothing aesthetic, it’s clearly carved out its own space as the more accessible, entry-level option in their lineup. As we inch closer to the July 7 reveal, it will be interesting to see how this device balances that distinct Nothing style with a competitive price point. Stay tuned—we’ll have the full rundown as soon as it goes official.
