Nothing Phone 3 Chipset Not 'Flagship Grade' But Battery May Be Biggest Ever — Check Launch, Specs, Price
Nothing Phone 3 may end up getting a weaker processor, rather than a flagship-level one like the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Nothing is set to raise the curtain off the Phone 3 on July 1, but such has been the grapevine around the first "flagship" from the Nothing stable that a lot is known about the phone already.
Most famously, the signature glyph interface is being done away with for the Phone 3, and supremo Carl Pei has already dropped hints as to its pricing during The Android Show: I/O Edition.
Now, a latest leak has given away the chipset that will power Nothing’s first flagship phone.
Nothing Phone 3 Chipset Leaked
According to tipster Yogesh Brar’s recent post on X, the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 may be packed under the hood of the Nothing Phone 3. What this means is that the Phone 3 may end up getting a weaker processor, rather than a flagship-level one like the Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
While the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 powers devices such as the iQOO Neo 10 and the forthcoming Poco F7 and is efficient enough, it’s definitely not Qualcomm’s top-grade chipset and lags Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in performance.
Nothing Phone 3 To Pack Biggest-Ever Battery?
In yet another leak, tipster @Sudhanshu1414 noticed a new Nothing battery with the product code NT05A and a rated capacity of 5,150mAh on the UL Solutions certification platform. If this turns out to be true, it will be the largest battery ever to be housed in a Nothing phone.
Nothing Phone 3 Features And Price (Expected)
The Phone 3 is expected to have a semi-transparent rear panel, 6.77-inch LTPO Amoled display with 120Hz refresh rate and 3000 nits maximum brightness, and a modified camera setup with 50MP primary camera and telephoto plus 50MP selfie shooter.
The Nothing Phone 3 could cost $799 in the US (about Rs 68,000), but Indian customers may be able to purchase it for less. If Nothing continues its trend of maintaining its Indian prices approximately Rs 15,000 cheaper than US pricing, the Phone 3 might cost between Rs 58,000 and Rs 60,000 in India.
