Nothing has officially confirmed one of the most anticipated details of its upcoming Nothing Phone (3). This flagship phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset. This is a big leap from the 8+ Gen 1 which powered the Phone (2). 

The Nothing Phone (3) is set for a global launch on July 1 in London, and more details about the device will be unveiled at the event. Alongside this, Nothing is expected to launch their first-ever headphones as well, expanding their portfolio of audio products.

The upcoming Phone (3) is expected to deliver almost flagship-level performance. With the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 confirmed to power the device, this already means that multitasking and playing games will be a breeze. This chipset was recently also seen in the iQOO Neo 10. It’s a capable chip and marks a huge leap for Nothing, as the brand is using a new processor for the first time.
