Nothing was India's fastest-growing smartphone brand in Q2 2026, with shipments up 105% YoY on Phone (4a) demand and RCB/IPL visibility, even as the overall Indian smartphone market is forecast to contract 13% amid rising component costs.

Why this matters

Nothing's surge follows its Phone 4b launch shaped by rising component costs and a limited RCB Edition exclusive to Bengaluru, reinforcing an India momentum built on cricket-linked visibility despite a contracting market.
