Nothing released the Nothing Phone (4b) in India, positioning it as a mid-range option for buyers who want a distinct design without paying flagship prices. The device starts at Rs 34,999 for the base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, offering a clear entry point for the segment. This pricing places the phone in direct competition with several other major brands that are pushing battery capacities and screen brightness to new limits in the same price bracket.
Competitors offer larger batteries and longer software support at similar prices
The Nothing Phone (4b) competes against a crowded field of alternatives that include the OnePlus Nord CE 6, Vivo T5 Pro, Samsung Galaxy M47 5G, Redmi Turbo 5, and Realme P4 Power. Each of these devices targets the same budget-conscious demographic by offering higher specifications in key areas like battery life and display performance. Buyers looking for maximum endurance or screen visibility might find better value in these competitors, while those prioritizing the Nothing brand's unique aesthetic and software experience may still find the Phone (4b) appealing.

Pricing details show the Nothing Phone (4b) base model costs Rs 34,999 (around $367), while the 256GB storage version is priced at Rs 38,999 (around $409). The closest competitor, the OnePlus Nord CE 6, starts at Rs 33,999 (around $356) for an 8GB/128GB configuration. The Vivo T5 Pro is listed at Rs 35,999 (around $377) for similar base specs, and the Samsung Galaxy M47 5G retails for Rs 36,999 (around $388) in the same memory layout. The Redmi Turbo 5 offers more storage, doubling it to 256GB, but costs Rs 37,999 (around $398) for the 8GB RAM variant.
Battery capacity and display brightness are the primary differentiators in this comparison, with the Realme P4 Power leading both categories. The Realme device features a 10,001 mAh Titan battery pack and a peak brightness of 6,500 nits, significantly outperforming the standard expectations for this price range. The Vivo T5 Pro also offers a substantial 9,020 mAh battery, while the OnePlus Nord CE 6 includes an 8,000 mAh pack. These figures suggest that users who prioritize screen visibility in direct sunlight or extended battery life away from chargers may prefer these alternatives over the Nothing Phone (4b).
Samsung provides a different kind of longevity guarantee with the Galaxy M47 5G, promising six years of OS upgrades and six years of security patches. This support window is longer than the typical commitment for many mid-range devices in the Indian market.
