Nothing is back with a fresh pitch for the midrange market. The brand is officially bringing the Nothing Phone (4b) and the Nothing Ear (3a) to the Philippines, exclusively via Digital Walker. If you’ve been waiting for a phone that blends aggressive industrial design with competent everyday performance, the 4b is positioning itself as a solid contender — and the accompanying buds are right there with it, promising flagship-tier active noise cancellation on a budget.
The open sale begins on Aug. 15, but early adopters can take advantage of substantial discounts during the preorder period that runs strictly from Aug. 1 to 14. Digital Walker is offering straightforward cash discounts and physical freebies for those who commit early.
Here is the pricing and promo breakdown, as revealed by the Philippine distributor at a recent media briefing:
| Device / promo | Regular price | Preorder offer |
|---|---|---|
| Nothing Phone (4b) (8GB/128GB) | ₱21,990 | ₱1,500 off |
| Nothing Ear (3a) | ₱5,990 | N/A (Standalone) |
| Bundle (Phone 4b + Ear 3a) | ₱27,980 | ₱2,500 off |
Customers who purchase the Phone (4b) during the preorder window will receive a free Nothing merchandise kit. The kit includes a coin purse, a key chain, and a bottle opener. The same merchandise freebie applies if you opt for the Phone and Ear bundle promo.
Nothing Phone (4b): Striking design meets midrange power
The Phone (4b) acts as a new entry point into the Nothing ecosystem. It retains the company’s signature transparent aesthetic and the much-talked-about Glyph Interface on the back. While the Glyph Bar — which you can configure to flash for specific alerts using simple “if-this, then-that” logic — is arguably more of a cosmetic add-on, it still gives the unit a distinct personality in a sea of boring glass slabs.
Nothing has also introduced an “Essential Key” on the left side of the device. This dedicated button lets you take quick screenshots or record voice notes. Double-clicking it drops you directly into the Essential Space, an AI hub designed to organize your saved content.
On the performance front, the Nothing Phone (4b) provides power that accurately fits its price bracket. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, it’s built for reliable daily scrolling, multitasking, and casual photography rather than heavy, max-graphics gaming.

The Ear (3a) leans heavily into delivering a premium listening experience without the premium price tag, boasting features typically reserved for more expensive flagship models. Whether you’re commuting through the noisy streets of Metro Manila or just trying to tune out the office chatter, these buds are designed to be a reliable, head-turning everyday carry.
