The company’s latest flagship phone has been making rounds on social media to build up the hype. In one of the teasers, it was confirmed that the Nothing Phone (3) will bring a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip. We’ve now spotted this device on Geekbench with the very same chip right before its official debut on July 1st.
The Phone (3) showed its true colors on Geekbench, and it could turn out to be a decent flagship performer. The platform confirmed some other interesting details as well, like the operating system, the device’s model number, and the amount of physical RAM it has inside.
First things first, the benchmark version used to test the Phone (3) is Geekbench 6.4.0. The scorecard, once again, verifies that the chip used in this device is a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4, which has eight cores in total, and the primary core is clocked at a 3.21 GHz frequency.
We’ve already seen what this chip can do on the Poco F7, which, by the way, scored 2 million points on AnTuTu. This is the second most powerful mobile chip from Qualcomm, and it shows in the Geekbench test run. It managed to output a 2,076 score in the single-core test and a 6,577 score using all eight cores.
The Nothing Phone new model seems to perform on par, if not better, than the Poco F7. The focus of Nothing Phones has never been the ultimate performance. This company is all about user experience and the appearance of their products. This time, all the attention is given to the handset’s user interface for some quality-of-life improvement.
A beefy SoC might not be the focal point of their presentation during Nothing Phone 3’s launch. Carl Pei, the Nothing CEO, already said in one of his videos that users can look forward to some major software improvements. That was a reference to Nothing OS 3, which is based on an Android 15 core.
Nothing phone is pushing some other boundaries as well, like the maximum RAM capacity. Geekbench tested the Phone (3) variant with 16GB RAM, up from the 12GB maximum RAM provided by Nothing Phone (2). There are many other upgrades to look forward to, so stay tuned for its ultimate review on July 1st — the Phone 3’s official launch day.
