design of the Phone (4b) This includes a dual-lens camera, an LED light bar, and big bezels Fans aren't sold on it, but would buy the concept phone that Nothing also recently showed off Following a recent tease , Nothing has now shown off the full design of the Phone (4b), even though the handset wont be fully detailed until July 7.

From this, we know that the Nothing Phone (4b) has a dual-lens camera with vertically arranged lenses, in a large camera block with a textured finish.
It also has an LED light bar similar to the Nothing Phone (4a) s, while
around the front theres a punch-hole camera and a flat screen with large bezels. Its a design that seems fine if a little less unusual or inspired
than many Nothing handsets, but its one that fans largely arent impressed by.

So unless the specs or price make up for the design it seems this might not
be a big hit for Nothing, and if as weve previously speculated this was originally intended as a CMF phone, its unlikely it will have too much going for it in the specs department, while the Nothing branding will likely mean a higher price than it would have had as a CMF device. You may like Nothing Phone (4b) to be unveiled on July 7 I was a Nothing-design skeptic, but the Phone (4a) Pro made me a believer Nothing is proving that smartphones can still be chic, and I hope other Android manufacturers are paying attention
The phone fans want But Nothing also recently showed off a handset that fans actually are excited about sadly though this was just a concept device,
which is unlikely to ever see the light of day. We made YOUR Dream Phone - YouTube Watch On The phone in question appeared in a YouTube video , where Nothing designed a handset with the dream features put forward by the brands community. These include a small (sub-6-inch) screen, a pop-up selfie camera, a dual-lens rear camera, a headphone port, and a microSD card slot.

The company did note that to make this a reality it would need to be quite thick, and even then probably couldnt fit in more than a 3,800mAh silicon-carbon battery, so thats perhaps part of why the team doesnt seem interested in making this a real device.

But perhaps it should, as reactions to the video included I would 100% buy this, beautiful, and forget Nothing Phone 4. Just make this.

So it seems that at least among Nothings most vocal fans theres real demand for this handset, and little interest in the Phone (4b). Today's best Nothing phone deals Contract Deals Sim Free Nothing Phone (4a) Pro 36 months
