The Nothing Phone (3), said to be the brand’s first “true” flagship will forgo the use of Snapdragon 8 Elite and instead use the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. In a post on X as well as its “Nothing Community” forums – and a 40-minute video on YouTube, Nothing has confirmed that Phone (3) will be adopting the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. The company says that this is the “most advanced processor in a Nothing smartphone to date.”
Nothing CEO Carl Pei stated “We really have to outperform our previous flagship, so compared to Phone (2) it’s going to be 36% faster on CPU, 88% stronger on GPU, and 60% stronger on the NPU. But what it means in practice, it will feel a lot snappier.”
He continued “We wanted to create a balanced experience. This time everything else also got much better, so we needed an even stronger chip to drive it. People will use these products for many hours a day, so for us it’s about creating a holistic experience”.
Pei further said that building a flagship in the first place is about delivering Nothing’s “latest and greatest ideas.”
Nothing Phone (3) will be announced on July 1.
