Nothing Phone (4b) Launches in Malaysia at RM1,599

Nothing’s Glyph habit just got a cheaper ticket. On September 21, 2026, The Star reported the Malaysia launch of the Nothing Phone (4b)—a budget-oriented midranger priced at RM1,599 for an 8GB + 128GB configuration.

Specs that define the 4b

• 6.77-inch AMOLED display with refresh up to 120Hz
• 50MP main camera with OIS; 16MP punch-hole selfie
• Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset
• 5,200mAh battery; 33W wired charging (Nothing claims 50% in under 30 minutes)
• 7.5W reverse wired charging
• Signature Glyph Bar notification lighting
• IP64 dust/water resistance
• Colors: White, Black, Blue

Launch promo

Buyers who purchase before October 20 get an extra RM100 discount plus a Nothing Foldable Backpack and Phone Wrist Strap, per The Star’s report. Treat that as a regional promo—other markets may differ on price, storage SKUs, and freebies.

Where it sits

Phone (4b) is not chasing flagship silicon; it is selling Glyph identity, a bright midrange panel, and workable day-to-day battery/charging at a sub-premium ticket. Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 keeps expectations honest for gaming and sustained camera workloads versus Nothing’s higher Phone (3)/(4) tiers.

Glyph Bar still the differentiator

Nothing’s midrange story has always been industrial design and the light strip more than peak AnTuTu. The Glyph Bar on Phone (4b) continues that habit: blinking clusters for calls and notifications without unlocking the panel. Combined with IP64 and a single 8/128 SKU, the Malaysia launch reads as a focused retail SKU rather than a matrix of RAM options. If you care about camera versatility, note The Star’s brief lists a single 50MP OIS main plus a 16MP front—no telephoto or ultra-wide in the launch copy—so expect computational photography to carry more of the imaging story than glass variety.

Charging expectations

Thirty-three watts is modest next to 80–100W rivals, but Nothing’s claim of 50% in under half an hour is the number that matters for lunch-break top-ups. Reverse wired charging at 7.5W is a nice accessory for earbuds or a friend’s dead phone, not a power-bank replacement. Cross-check whether your market includes a charger in-box; many midrangers still ship USB-C cable only.

Rocks take

Solid launch-day checklist for Malaysia shoppers who want the LED personality without flagship pricing. Cross-check local warranty and Nothing OS update promises before you buy—The Star’s piece is a specs-and-price brief, not a long-term software roadmap. Source: The Star.
