Nothing stays tight-lipped on chipset details
Amid rising anticipation for the Nothing Phone 3, the UK-based tech startup has yet to confirm whether it will adopt the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset for its upcoming smartphone. Despite early rumors and spec leaks pointing to Qualcomm's new SoC, Nothing has not issued any official statement verifying the use of the high-end processor.
Speculation grows, but official silence persists
Industry insiders had hinted that Nothing might opt for the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 due to its balance of flagship-level performance and efficiency, which suits Nothing’s strategy of delivering powerful yet affordable smartphones. However, recent developments suggest that this remains speculative, with the company refraining from confirming or denying the chipset’s inclusion.
Phone 3 expected to launch in H2 2025
Nothing Phone 3 is expected to be revealed sometime in the second half of 2025. With the Phone 2 powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, many assumed the natural progression would be to a newer Snapdragon 8-series SoC. Yet, the lack of confirmation now opens possibilities for alternative chipsets like Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 or a customized version.
Community eagerly awaits clarity
Nothing has built a dedicated community that thrives on transparency and innovation. But this time, the silence on core hardware details has sparked debates on social media and tech forums. While design teasers and software hints have surfaced, the processor mystery remains unsolved.
What’s next?
As the smartphone race tightens in the premium mid-range segment, chipset choices could be pivotal in defining performance benchmarks and pricing strategies. Until an official announcement is made, enthusiasts and experts alike remain watchful for clues on what will power the much-anticipated Phone 3.
