The Nothing Phone 3 is set to launch on July 1, and it will be the second flagship phone by the brand after the Nothing Phone 2 of 2023. We are yet to see the design, but the company has officially revealed the chipset that is going to power the device.
While we were expecting the Nothing Phone 3 to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the company has revealed that it is using the less powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 in this phone. Some sources had previously claimed a starting price of $799, and now that we know the phone has Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, this pricing will make it quite overpriced, unless the phone has something impressive to offer via the rest of its hardware.
Carl Pei, the CEO of Nothing, himself revealed last month that the Nothing Phone 3 will be priced somewhere around £800, which is quite high for a phone with Snapdragon 8s Gen 4.
Well, speaking of the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, it is built on TSMC’s 4nm N4P process, and has an octa-core CPU. The CPU has one prime Cortex-X4 core clocked at up to 3.2GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores clocked at up to 3.0GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores clocked at up to 2.8GHz, and two Cortex-A720 cores clocked at up to 2.0GHz. Compared to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, the 8s Gen 4 is almost 31% faster. There is a 49% faster Adreno 825 GPU.
