For every smartphone flagship, there will always be a budget-friendly alternative, designed for the everyday user who doesn’t need extravagant features like the latest camera technologies or even the most high-end graphics chips. The Nothing Phone series is well known for not just its distinct visual flair, but also its affordable prices, and even then, it still offers a budget line-up of its own, one that has seen its latest iteration in the form of the Nothing Phone (4b).

Decked out in a distinct blue finish and its iconic glyph interface, albeit in a smaller area around its camera housing unit, the budget-friendly device is built for day-to-day use, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 CPU and an Adreno 810 GPU, alongside 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Display-wise, the phone features a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2,344 x 1,080, with support for up to a 120Hz refresh rate. While these are definitely humble specifications, we wanted to see just how far we could push its limits when faced with a gaming gauntlet of Genshin Impact, Zenless Zone Zero, and Delta Force.

Check out how well the budget phone performed in the video above, which also covers performance indicators, device temperatures, and more. The Nothing Phone (4b) is priced at S$499 and comes in three colourways – white, black, and blue.
