Nothing Phone (4b) was finally revealed in India on Tuesday (July 7) as the tech firm's first B-series smartphone. The company released the standard and RCB editions.
Why was Nothing created in the RCB edition?
Nothing has played a key role as a partner of Royal Challengers Bengaluru since the team's inception as an Associate Sponsor, and this year celebrates two years of that collaboration.
In 2026, Nothing took on the role of full Title Sponsor, and the RCB Edition Phone (4b) is being launched to commemorate this significant milestone, coinciding with RCB's impressive achievement of consecutive IPL title wins. The official price has not been revealed yet by the company, but it is expected soon.
Based on the official launch information, the Nothing Phone (4b) RCB Edition has essentially the same hardware and specifications as the standard Nothing Phone (4b). The differences are primarily cosmetic and exclusive to the limited edition.
