Nothing Phone (4b) is listed at Rs 29,999 for the Black 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model on Flipkart, with Truenet Commerce named as seller. Price as of 17 October 2026, 3:38 PM IST. The page displayed a Buy now option.
That is Rs 6,000 below the Rs 35,999 recorded in Dalimss News’s October 1 report on the new 6GB variants. This is a current retailer price check, rather than an announcement of another handset. The listing does not establish when the lower price first took effect or a permanent reduction by Nothing.
The listing adds a Rs 129 Protect Promise Fee, making Rs 30,128 before other checkout charges. No postcode was entered, so local delivery remains unverified.
The fee covers secure packaging and open-box verification. Flipkart says its delivery agent opens the package so the recipient can check for the correct product, damage or missing items.
What the lower price buys
Nothing’s official specifications identify a Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor, a 6.77-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and a 6,000mAh battery for India. The international battery figure is different, which makes region-specific specifications relevant when comparing listings.
Charging is rated at 33W. The box contents include a USB-C cable, case and pre-applied screen protector, but do not list a wall adaptor. Anyone without a suitable charger therefore needs to allow for that separately. The rear main camera has optical stabilisation, while the front camera is 16MP.
The India specifications exclude NFC and limit eSIM support to Japan. Those are practical differences for people expecting contactless phone payments or an eSIM-based travel setup. Nothing lists three years of Android updates and six years of security patches, counted from the device’s first availability, rather than restarting the support period on each purchase date.
Lower payment-linked figures can include cashback. They are conditional, rather than prices available to every buyer.
Software timing and after-sales checks
There is also a software timing difference to weigh. Nothing’s OS 5.0 schedule places Phone (4b) open beta in mid December and general release in mid January. The company labels those timings indicative and says general release is phased by region and carrier where applicable. The advertised software roadmap is therefore a future plan, not evidence that this model receives the latest release immediately.
Nothing warns that beta software can affect stability, battery life and performance. Its schedule still marks the required stable build for Phone (4b) as to be confirmed. Buyers should judge the phone on its currently available software and treat later features as an update commitment subject to that timetable. The company’s release-roadmap explanation says Android 17 development for Phone (4b) began later and needs additional integration, testing and certification. A sale price does not accelerate that process. It also distinguishes app updates delivered through Google Play from a full operating-system upgrade, so individual app changes need not mean the scheduled OS release has arrived.
Nothing’s India warranty policy covers purchases through authorised sales channels from the invoice date. It lists one year for the phone and battery, with walk-in service and the purchase invoice as the supporting document. The warranty is redeemable in the original country or region of purchase.
For a claim, the policy asks for proof of purchase, the model and IMEI or serial number, and evidence of the defect. It excludes matters including accidental damage, liquid exposure, ordinary wear and unauthorised repairs. An advertised protection rating should therefore not be read as a blanket promise to repair water damage free of charge. Before handing a device over for service, Nothing also asks owners to back up their data and remove confidential information. Repair arrangements do not remove the need to protect personal files. The policy also says repair and transit time does not extend the warranty period. Keep the original invoice accessible after transferring data to a new handset.
The earlier Phone (3a) India-store price report concerns another model and an earlier check. Its figures are historical context, not a second live quotation for today. Keep the exact variant fixed when comparing the two generations.
