Nothing Phone 4b Review | What's Changed vs 4a?

Reviewing the Nothing Phone 4b after using as my full-time smartphone for a week. I've thoroughly tested the camera tech, battery life, gaming performance etc, so here's how the Nothing Phone 4b compares vs the 4a, and which is worth your money. Also includes bonus unboxing! While this perhaps should be called the '4a Lite' instead, all you need to know is that the Nothing Phone 4b is the most budget smartphone from Carl Pei in 2026. Certainly as there's no sign of a CMF Phone any time soon. And yes, this does mean several downgrades compared with the 4a handset. The camera setup is down to two lenses from three, with the zoom shooter culled to save on cash. The Nothing Phone 4b still sports a reasonably capable camera however, as you'll see from my test photos. Battery capacity has actually been boosted for this handset, but does that translate into improved battery life? As for performance, can the Snapdragon chipset handle gaming on stuff like Wuthering Waves? That's my review of the Nothing Phone 4b. Let us know your own thoughts below!
