Published by skeptic

A new Nothing Phone is on the way and you won’t have to wait too long to find out more. On Thursday, the British design firm posted a video that ostensibly showcases some teaser images of their upcoming smartphone, Phone (4b). The post, published on X, mentions July 7, all but announcing that’s when the official unveiling will take place. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Mashable Light Speed “Phone (4b) blends a unibody design and clear camera bump of Phone (4a) Pro with the Glyph Bar from Phone (4a) to create a minimal rear design that feels distinctly Nothing and smooth …
