Though Nothing is leaving the flagship space hanging this year, the fashion-ready brand still has a treat for the midrange market. Following up on the success of the Phone (4a) series, Nothing has officially launched the Phone (4b).

Best of both worlds

Because of its name, the Phone (4b) sounds simply like a step down from the Phone (4a) series. But it’s not just that.

Rather, the Phone (4b) combines the best of both the Phone (4a) and the Phone (4a) Pro. More specifically, the new model has the unique unibody design of the (4a) Pro but also the Glyph Bar of the (4a). It’s a one-of-a-kind expression typical of Nothing’s branding.

In this iteration, the Glyph Bar features 45 mini-LEDs with a brightness of up to 3,500 nits. Users can, of course, customize the lights to reflect notifications.

Plus, the Phone (4b) touts durability. The phone can withstand up to 600 Newtons of bending force and is rated IP64 for water/dust resistance.

A step down but is just as good

Inside, the Phone (4b)’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 is a small step down from the Phone (4a) series, but it still confidently delivers what you need from day to day. This is paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.

For this one, Nothing is tapping Samsung for a brilliant 6.77-inch Super AMOLED screen with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 2000 nits of peak brightness.

The Phone (4b)’s camera system comes with a capable 50-megapixel main sensor from Samsung, paired with an 8-megapixel wide angle camera. In front, the phone comes with a 16-megapixel selfie shooter.

Coupled with the AI-based TrueLens Engine 4, these cameras can take impressive photos with anti-flicker and Ultra XDR capabilities.

The most impressive Nothing battery

Nothing says that the Phone (4b) has the most impressive battery among all of its smartphones. The phone comes with a 5200mAh battery.

The brand says that a single charge can last up to 46 hours of voice calls, 27 hours of Instagram, or 9 hours of gaming.

The Nothing Phone (4b) starts at EUR 329. It is available in white, black, and blue.

Not even Nokia phones are safe from AI features

Users have to pay for the AI after 180 days, too.

Did you mistakenly assume that the only way to escape the deluge of AI is to go for a more budget-friendly smartphone? With major brands infusing their phones with AI, it’s a reasonable assumption. However, a batch of new Nokia phones proves that even the budget market isn’t safe from artificial intelligence.

Recently, Nokia, thanks to HMD, is launching four new phones: Nokia 200 4G, 210 4G, 215 4G 2nd Edition, and 235 4G 2nd Edition. It’s easy to get bogged down on the detailed specs of all four phones, but it’s even easier to focus on the ginormous AI button present on all of them.

All four phones are powered by Sikey AI. Pressing that big button lets users ask basic queries, so it’s more a voice assistant in essence than anything. However, when it’s literally a giant button, it’s also a very hard sell.

Even worse, the AI is free for only 180 days. Users will need to subscriber afterwards and on a separate smartphone (because the Nokia doesn’t have apps) to continue using the features. Otherwise, the AI logo turns into something completely useless.

In other news, all four phones are pleasantly dumb. The Nokia 215 and the 235 have a 2.8-inch IPS display, while the 210 4G and the 215 4G have 2.4-inch QVGA displays. All four models have everything you need from a simple communication device.

Samsung has begun building anticipation for its next generation of Galaxy foldables with a series of teaser videos set to premiere on its official global social media channels.

Rather than showing the devices themselves, the teaser campaign transforms familiar everyday objects into visual hints. Pizza slices, chocolate bars, and other items appear in proportions that longtime Galaxy fans may recognize, subtly pointing toward the company’s foldable lineup.

According to Samsung, the campaign reflects its ongoing vision for foldables—one shaped by years of engineering innovation and consumer insights. The company says its goal is to make foldable devices feel more useful, natural, and intuitive in everyday life.

The teaser also suggests Samsung is looking beyond simply launching another device. Instead, it hints at expanding the Galaxy foldable portfolio with more choices and new ways for users to experience the Galaxy ecosystem.

Samsung has yet to reveal additional details, but the latest teasers mark the beginning of its next foldable campaign ahead of an expected Galaxy Unpacked event later this month.

Samsung might be working on a rollable phone

It might be called the Galaxy Z Slide.

For Apple, the next holy grail is a foldable iPhone. However, for Samsung who’s already had an iron grip on the foldable market for years now, the next evolution might be a rollable phone.

According to several Korean sources, Samsung’s next project is a rollable phone. Samsung Display is currently discussing the technology with the company’s smartphone arm for a potential consumer-ready product.

As is normal with new technologies, it might take a while for a rollable phone to enter the market. Samsung is reportedly planning a 2028 release for the device.

As for the name, the brand might settle for the Galaxy Z Slide. With how Samsung names its devices, “Slide” makes sense.

Now, a rollable phone has been a dream for a few other brands. For example, LG, before they gave up on the smartphone market, dished out a concept for a rollable display in the TV and the smartphone space. Sony, Motorola, OPPO, and TECNO have also experimented with the technology.

With its resources, Samsung stands to be at the forefront of the rollable market, just as it did with the foldable phone. But, as always, take the rumors with a grain of salt. There’s still quite a bit of time before 2028 arrives. The brand can easily change its mind.
