Nothing has locked in July 7, 2026 for the global launch of the Nothing Phone (4b) and the Nothing Ear (3a), and the company has already confirmed the headline detail for its next budget phone: it runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Both products will be revealed together in a single livestream at 11:00 BST, which is 6:00 PM Philippine time, and Nothing has opened pre-registration on its website for buyers who want a launch reminder.
The pairing continues Nothing's habit of bundling an affordable phone with a matching set of earbuds, and it lands squarely in the segment most Filipino buyers actually shop — sub-flagship Android phones and budget true-wireless earbuds.
Key Takeaways
- Nothing will unveil the Phone (4b) and Ear (3a) together in one livestream on July 7, 2026 at 11:00 BST (6:00 PM Philippine time).
- Nothing has officially confirmed the Phone (4b) uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip; leaks point specifically to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 (4nm).
- Leaks peg the Phone (4b) at a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED, a 6,000mAh battery, a 50MP main camera, and Nothing OS on Android 16.
- The Ear (3a) arrives in four confirmed colors — white, black, yellow, and a first-ever pink.
- No official prices yet: the Phone (4b) is expected below the Phone (4a)'s roughly €399 (around ₱28,000), with Philippine pricing rumored at ₱17,500–₱21,000.
What Nothing has officially confirmed
So far Nothing has kept its official teasers deliberately narrow. Three things are locked in from the company itself:
- The date and time. The global launch is July 7 at 11:00 BST, streamed on Nothing's channels, with the Phone (4b) and Ear (3a) sharing the same event.
- A Snapdragon chip. Nothing confirmed the Phone (4b) will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor — a notable shift for a Nothing budget model, which is significant because past
(a)-series and (b)-series phones leaned on MediaTek silicon. - Four earbud colors. A teaser for the Ear (3a) shows white, black, yellow, and pink. Pink is a first for Nothing's earbuds line, which has stuck to monochrome transparent finishes until now.
Everything beyond those points remains unconfirmed until the reveal, so the specifications below should be read as well-sourced leaks rather than final figures.
Nothing Phone (4b) specs: what the leaks point to
Multiple independent leaks — including Geekbench listings and supply-chain reports — line up on a fairly complete picture of the Phone (4b):
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, built on a 4nm process
- Display: 6.7-inch flexible AMOLED, 120Hz refresh rate
- Memory: 8GB RAM with up to 256GB storage
- Battery: 6,000mAh with reported 33W wired charging — which would be the largest battery in any Nothing phone to date
- Cameras: 50MP main sensor with OIS, an 8MP secondary rear camera, and a 16MP front camera
- Software: Nothing OS based on Android 16, making it one of the first phones to ship on Google's latest release
Reports also describe a redesigned Glyph interface on the back — Nothing's signature LED lighting — rather than the larger segmented Glyph strips seen on earlier models. Nothing has not officially detailed the new Glyph layout, so treat the exact design as unconfirmed.
One caveat worth flagging: while several outlets now refer to the Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 as "confirmed," the specific model number comes from Geekbench and leaks. Nothing itself has only publicly committed to "a Snapdragon chip," so the precise variant is the strongest of the rumors rather than a company statement.
Nothing Ear (3a): budget earbuds with a first-ever pink
The Nothing Ear (3a) slots into the affordable end of Nothing's audio range, below the flagship Ear line. Nothing has confirmed the July 7 launch and the four-color lineup, but has stayed quiet on drivers, active noise cancellation, codecs, and battery life — full specs are expected at the event. Reports suggest the Ear (3a) will inherit some of the tuning and features from the pricier Nothing Ear (3), though that remains speculation.
On price, a widely circulated leak puts the Ear (3a) at €99 (around ₱6,960) — matching the launch price of 2024's Ear (a). Nothing has not confirmed the figure.
Price and Philippine availability
Nothing has not announced pricing for either product, and it sells officially in the Philippines through ph.nothing.tech and retail partners such as Digital Walker — the Phone (4a) series already launched locally earlier in 2026 — so a PH release is likely to follow the global debut rather than arrive day one.
Here is where the numbers stand ahead of the reveal:
- Phone (4b) global price: expected to come in below the Phone (4a)'s roughly €399 (around ₱28,000). Indian-market rumors suggest a figure equivalent to about $265 to $320 (around ₱16,300 to ₱19,600).
- Phone (4b) Philippine price: rumored between ₱17,500 and ₱21,000 — an estimate, not an official SRP.
- Ear (3a): leaked at €99 (around ₱6,960).
All peso figures are approximate conversions at current rates and should be treated as estimates until Nothing publishes local pricing.
Why It Matters for PH Buyers
A Snapdragon-powered Nothing phone at a sub-₱21,000 rumored price would put it in direct contention with the budget Androids Filipinos are already weighing this July, from the Redmi Note 17 series arriving in China to big-battery value picks like the OnePlus N6 with its 8,000mAh cell. Nothing's pitch has always been distinctive design and clean software rather than raw specs, so the real question for local buyers is whether the final PH price undercuts rivals enough to justify the transparent-Glyph aesthetic. The bundled Ear (3a) at a rumored sub-₱7,000 could also make the pairing an easy upsell.
