With just days to go before the official unveiling, Nothing has confirmed that its upcoming Phone (3) will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset, not the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite as many had speculated. The move has generated mixed reactions, but the device is still shaping up to be the company’s most ambitious flagship yet, boasting major upgrades in design, camera, battery, and software support.

Key Highlights

Confirmed Chipset: Nothing Phone (3) will run on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, which the company describes as its “most advanced processor to date.” CEO Carl Pei claims it delivers a 36% CPU boost, 88% GPU jump, and 60% stronger NPU over the previous model.
Design Overhaul: The iconic Glyph LED interface is being replaced by a new “Glyph Matrix” dot-matrix display on the rear, signaling a fresh design language for the brand.
Display: A 6.7-inch LTPO OLED panel with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate promises sharper visuals and a flagship-grade dynamic experience.
Camera System: Triple rear cameras—all 50MP (main, ultrawide, and 3x periscope telephoto)—plus a 50MP front camera, marking a significant leap from previous models.
Battery & Charging: A 5,150mAh battery, the largest in a Nothing device, supports blazing-fast 100W wired charging, along with wireless and reverse wireless charging capabilities.
Software Support: Nothing promises five years of Android updates and seven years of security patches, the longest support commitment from the brand so far.
Other Features: eSIM support, NFC, and Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15 out of the box.
Pricing & Availability: Expected to launch at around ₹65,000 in India and £800 in the UK, with global availability confirmed for July 1.

Market Buzz

While the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 is a substantial upgrade over its predecessor, some fans and analysts express disappointment, noting that rival flagships at similar price points will feature the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite. Nothing defends its choice by emphasizing balance, efficiency, and a holistic user experience.

“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.” — Carl Pei, CEO

With a bold new design, major hardware upgrades, and extended software support, Nothing Phone (3) aims to redefine the brand’s flagship experience—even if its chipset choice remains a hot topic.
