The Nothing Phone (4b) became Flipkart's best-selling smartphone in the ₹30,000-plus segment on July 14, its first day of sale in India. It also delivered Nothing's biggest smartphone opening: online sales exceeded the Day-One totals of every earlier Nothing phone, even when those earlier online and offline figures are combined.The result gives the new B-series its first commercial test. Nothing created the cheaper line as rising DRAM and storage costs forced phone makers to raise prices, reduce hardware or cancel products. The Phone (4b) went the other way on price, using launch offers to reach ₹29,999 while retaining the Nothing OS and Glyph features associated with the brand.About The AuthorAt heart, I am a storyteller drawn to the watershed moments that bend the technology landscape. I braid narrative with data, humanise statistics, and trace the arc from first spark to world-changing impact. My reportage, features and reviews are witty, sardonic, visual and vivid, using anecdote to illuminate rather than eviscerate.
As a technology journalist with over sixteen years of experience, I have travelled the world and the seven seas, covered every major tech conference worth its lanyard, chronicled the defining breakthroughs of the last decade and a half, and played a pivotal role in launching some of India’s most important technology publishing platforms across web, print and TV.
