Nothing Denies Exit From Several Markets, Confirms Layoffs After Weak Phone 4b Sales

Summary
Nothing said no market withdrawal is planned, pushing back on reports it will leave several major markets, including some in Europe, while confirming layoffs are underway.
Low sales of the Nothing Phone (4b), after softer demand for the Phone (4a) Pro and related models, have fueled questions about the brand's profitability in less lucrative regions.
2026 was already shaping up as a thin product year: Nothing has said no Phone 3 successor will arrive before 2027, and CMF also is not launching a flagship this year.
The report argues Nothing's lettered lineup—such as 4a, 4a Pro and 4b—may be confusing mainstream buyers, compounding broader pressure from rising component costs.
