Things are looking grim for the Nothing Phone (4b)<\/a> \u2013 to have a fighting chance, the phone needs a price cut and it needs it now. The results from last week\u2019s poll<\/a> show this quite clearly. Even if the phone gets good reviews \u2013 and that\u2019s a big \u201cif\u201d given its specs \u2013 few people would be converted into fans.<\/p>\n

What went wrong? Well, in last week\u2019s poll we compared the (4b) to the Nothing Phone (4a)<\/a> \u2013 but one commenter says that we should have compared it to the older Nothing Phone (3a). Oof.<\/p>\n

\"Poll<\/p>\n

There are many pain points \u2013 slow, non-expandable storage, relatively weak chipset, only 3 OS updates, small camera sensor and, of course, the pricing.<\/p>\n

Some people are considering getting the (4a) instead as the price premium is usually quite small. Or nonexistent if you find a promo, though more often than not we\u2019re seeing the 12\/256GB variant discounted.<\/p>\n

Hey, at least the (4a) has a 12\/256GB variant \u2013 the (4b) is available in an 8\/128GB configuration almost exclusively, the one exception being the 8\/256GB variant for India. India also gets a bigger battery, 6,000mAh vs. 5,200mAh for the rest of the world. Here\u2019s the price table from last time (not including any discounts and promos that you may find).<\/p>\n

Of course, there are plenty of mid-rangers to choose from – ones that stand out with their cameras or their chipsets or their batteries. Those present an even bigger hurdle than the (4a), judging by the poll results.<\/p>\n

Carl Pei and co. better go back to the drawing board \u2013 with no new flagship this year<\/a> and the cancellation of the CMF Phone 3 Pro<\/a>, Nothing only has the Phone (4a) and (4a) Pro this year. The (4b) will land without a splash.<\/p>\n
