'Next Time, Maybe the Screws Can Be Outside?': Fairphone Pokes Fun at the Nothing Phone (4b) for Its Faux Repairable Design

The budget phone offers a bright 120Hz display, nearly 17 hours of battery life, and three years of OS upgrades, reviewers said.

  • The $399 Nothing Phone launched, featuring a 6.77-inch Super AMOLED display and the signature Glyph Bar interface. This device offers nearly 17 hours of battery life and uses a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor.
  • As the first entry in the new 'b' series, the handset runs Android 16-based Nothing OS 4.1. It features a durable, dust-and-splash-resistant IP64-rated unibody design that incorporates the company’s unique retro-futuristic aesthetic.
  • For photography, the device includes a 50-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization and an 8-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The 5,200 mAh battery supports 33W wired charging, reaching full capacity in around 80 minutes.
  • Compared to the Samsung Galaxy A37, which offers a longer support commitment, Nothing promises three years of software updates and six years of security patches. The Galaxy A37 extends both to six years.
  • Despite the inclusion of 5G and Wi-Fi 6, performance on US networks remains middling. The phone utilizes AI for summarizing notes and screenshots, though it lacks advanced camera-editing tools found on competitors.
