Nothing has confirmed the Malaysian launch of the Phone (4b) and Ear (3a), with both now open for pre-orders through Nothing’s official website, Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop; official open sales is set to kick off beginning 20 September 2026 in Nothing retailers nationwide and other participating outlets.
Nothing Phone (4b)
The Nothing Phone (4b) is positioned as an entry-level model into Nothing’s smartphone lineup, featuring a unibody design paired with the company’s signature Glyph Bar, with IP64 ingress protection rating. The smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chipset, alongside what the company describes as its longest-lasting smartphone battery to date (at 5,200mAh). It’s got 33W fast charging support and 7.5W reverse wired charging support as well.
For imaging, the Phone (4b) includes a 50MP camera system with OIS, along with support for 4K video recording; there’s also an ultrawide camera with 119.5° FOV. The software ships with Nothing OS 4.1 (Android 16) with integrated access to Google Gemini and ChatGPT. Nothing has committed to three major Android version updates and six years of security updates for the device.
The Nothing Phone (4b) will be available in White, Black, and Blue colors at RM1,599, with the Malaysian market only getting the 8+128GB configuration.
Nothing Ear (3a)
The Nothing Ear (3a) continues Nothing’s transparent design language, with a charging case that introduces a new 3-LED matrix Status Light, using different light patterns to provide visual feedback on device status. The earbuds introduce a new Audio Capture feature, including Audio Snapshot, which allows users to save clips from media playback, and Call Recording, intended to help retain important details from phone conversations.
On the audio side, the Ear (3a) features a 12mm dynamic driver aimed at delivering deeper bass and balanced sound, paired with 45dB wideband Active Noise Cancellation. The earbuds also introduce Static Spatial Audio and an 8-band Advanced EQ to Nothing’s Ear (a) series, both adjustable through the Nothing X app. Battery life is rated at up to 42 hours of total playback with the charging case, with a five-minute quick charge providing up to one hour of playback.
The Nothing Ear (3a) is available in Pink, White, Yellow and Black colorways, priced at RM399.
Pokdepinion: Budget-friendly, that’s for sure. Not sure having just 128GB of storage is enough convincing though.
