The price is the interesting part
At launch, Nothing priced the Phone (4b) at £299 (around ₱24,400) in the United Kingdom and €329 (around ₱23,200) in Europe. The ₱21,990 Philippine price sits below both converted figures, which is not the usual pattern for a brand shipping into this market.
That matters because the phone's weak point at launch was not its hardware but where it sat against its own sibling. In 9to5Google's hands-on, Ben Schoon wrote that "it's impossible to recommend buying Phone (4b) when Phone (4a) is better for basically the same price," noting the Phone (4a) costs £349/€349 — only about £50 more. A local price that undercuts the European figure widens that gap in the (4b)'s favour, assuming the (4a) is not discounted here at the same time.
Schoon did praise the build and the finish, calling the blue model "easily my favorite blue since Google's 'Really Blue' on the original Pixel," and noted that Nothing dropped the lockscreen ads that appeared on its earlier budget phones.
What ₱21,990 buys you
The screen is a 6.77-inch AMOLED running at 120Hz, with a 2344 x 1080 resolution and a peak brightness of about 2,000 nits. It is protected by Dragontail Pro Glass.
Inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 built on a 4nm process, with 8GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. This is a mid-range chip, not a flagship one — expect smooth everyday use and social apps rather than sustained high-setting gaming.
The camera set is a 50MP main sensor at f/1.8 with optical image stabilisation and phase-detection autofocus, an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide with a 120-degree field of view, and a 16MP f/2.4 selfie camera. Video tops out at 4K 30fps, with 1080p available up to 120fps.
Battery is 5,200mAh with 33W wired charging and 7.5W reverse wired charging, so it can top up a pair of earbuds. Note that the Indian version of this phone ships with a larger 6,000mAh cell; the unit sold here follows the international 5,200mAh specification.
Software is Nothing OS 4.1 on Android 16, with three major Android upgrades and six years of security patches.
Where it lands in the local market
₱21,990 puts the Phone (4b) in one of the most crowded parts of the Philippine market, competing against mid-rangers from Xiaomi, realme, OPPO and Samsung that often bring bigger batteries or faster charging at the same money. What Nothing offers instead is the transparent design, the Glyph lighting and a clean software build — preferences rather than spec-sheet wins.
One caution on timing: 33W charging and a 5,200mAh battery are modest against local rivals now pushing 6,000mAh and above with far quicker charging. If those numbers are what you shop on, this is not the phone. If you want something that looks unlike everything else on the shelf and holds a clean Android build for six years of patches, the pre-order price makes a reasonable case.
Availability
Reservations open August 1 at Digital Walker and open_source stores, plus the brand's official Shopee and Lazada channels. General retail availability follows on August 15.
