- Nothing has shown off the design of the Telephone (4b)
- This includes a dual-lens camera, an LED light bar, and large bezels.
- Fans aren’t convinced, but they would buy the concept phone that Nothing also recently showed off.
Following a recent teaser, Nothing has shown off the full design of the phone (4b), although the phone won’t 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), while on the front there is a punch-hole camera and a flat display with large bezels.
It’s a good-looking design, if a little less unusual or inspired than many Nothing phones, but it largely fails to impress fans.

Responses to the X trailer include “most average Nothing design” and “very disappointing,” while on Reddit, comments include “looks bad” and a simple “eww.”
So unless the specs or price make up for the design, it looks like this might not be a big hit for Nothing, and if, as we’ve previously speculated, it was originally intended as a CMF phone, it’s unlikely to have 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.
Phone fans want
But Nothing also recently showed off a phone that fans are really excited about; Unfortunately, although this was just a conceptual device, it is unlikely to see the light of day.
The phone in question appeared in a YouTube video, where Nothing designed a phone with the dream features proposed by the brand’s community. These include a small display (less than 6 inches), a pop-up selfie camera, a dual-lens rear camera, a headphone port, and a microSD card slot.
The company noted that to make this a reality it would have to be quite thick, and even then it probably couldn’t fit more than a 3,800 mAh silicon-carbon battery, so perhaps that’s part of the reason why the team doesn’t seem interested in making this an actual device.
But maybe I should, as reactions to the video included “I would 100% buy this,” “beautiful,” and “Don’t forget Nothing Phone 4. Just do this.”
So it seems that, at least among the most enthusiastic Nothing fans, there is a real demand for this phone and little interest in the Phone (4b).
