Nothing Teases New “4b” Smartphone Again
The Carl Pei company recently shared a teaser on X with the first glimpse of an upcoming smartphone. The teaser video showcases the outline of a handset and concludes with a pencil marked “4b” hinting that the device could launch as the Nothing Phone 4b.

Notably, the company has yet to officially confirm the device name, specifications or launch date.
Adding to the speculation, a dedicated Flipkart microsite for a new “b” series smartphone has also gone live. The listing confirms that the device will be available through the e-commerce platform once it launches in India.
Design Details Revealed Through Teaser
The teaser provides an early look at the phone’s design language. The device appears to feature a single rear camera setup. Like other Nothing smartphones, the upcoming handset seems to retain the brand’s signature transparent rear panel design. The teaser also reveals visible screws and internal design elements continuing the brand aesthetic that has become associated with the company.
The smartphone is further shown with a flat rear panel and rounded corners, a design that resembles the existing Phone 4a series.
CMF Projects May Be Moving Under Nothing Branding
The teaser arrives shortly after reports claimed that CMF has shifted its ongoing smartphone projects to the Nothing brand. One of these devices is reportedly scheduled to launch in India next month.
While it remains unclear whether that handset will debut as the Nothing Phone 4b, the timing of the teaser has fueled speculation that the two developments could be connected.
CMF has already confirmed that it does not plan to launch a new smartphone this year. The company has also postponed the successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, which makes the possibility of those projects moving under the Nothing branding more likely.
Earlier this year, Nothing founder Carl Pei revealed that the company would not launch a new flagship smartphone in 2026. Instead, the brand focused on expanding its mid-range portfolio.
With official teasers now live and a Flipkart microsite already in place, more details about this mystery smartphone are expected to emerge in the coming weeks.
