Nothing's New Budget Phone Teased for India
22 Jun
Summary
- Nothing is preparing to launch a new 'B series' budget smartphone in India.
- The upcoming device features a transparent design and a single rear camera.
- This new phone might be a rebranded CMF phone due to rising memory costs.
A new budget smartphone from Nothing, potentially named the Nothing Phone 4b, is reportedly being prepared for an Indian launch. The London-based company has been teasing a new 'B series' lineup, hinting at a device that features Nothing's signature transparent design and a single rear camera setup. This move suggests a new branch in their product offerings, possibly targeting a different audience and price point.
Recent teasers from Nothing India, captioned "(b)usted," offer a visual preview of the phone's distinct aesthetic. This development follows the cancellation of a successor to the CMF Phone 3 Pro due to escalating memory prices, a decision announced by Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis. He explained that building a genuine step-forward phone at a sensible price for CMF was not feasible under current market conditions.
Rumors suggest that the new device might be a rebranded version of the canceled CMF phone. Tipsters indicate that the phone could launch in India next month. Separately, Nothing has also been using Pokémon names as codenames, with 'Blastoise' rumored to be the codename for the next Nothing smartphone and 'Jumpluff' for a potential Nothing Ear 3a. Leaked information about the CMF Phone 3 Pro previously pointed to a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset and a 5,500mAh battery.
