Buying advice for Algeria
Both Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (4b) are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.
Nothing Phone (4b) is 46% cheaper at 95,000 DZD versus 175,000 DZD for the Nothing Phone (1), leaving room for accessories or a longer screen-protection plan.
Nothing Phone (4b) packs a 5200 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.
Nothing Phone (4b) posts a stronger benchmark score, useful for heavier games and multitasking on Algerian carriers' busier 4G networks.
Above 100,000 DZD you are paying for the chipset, camera tuning, and long-term software support, so weigh those against price.
