Nothing Phone (2) to Utilize Previous-Generation Snapdragon 8 Chip, Confirms Qualcomm Executive

Pei’s strange language last week suggested that the Nothing Phone may not feature the most recent Qualcomm processor (2). The CEO said that the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 CPU while avoiding any model specifications.

Qualcomm has released three Snapdragon 8 System-on-Chip (SoC) variants: 8 Generation 1, 8 Plus Generation 1, and 8 Generation 2. If Qualcomm has an 8 Plus Gen 2 SoC on its plans, a fourth model might be released later this year.

Customers hoping for a truly flagship smartphone from Nothing should not anticipate the Phone to be powered by a 2023 CPU (2). The British startup is still in its infancy. 91mobiles quickly took a snapshot of a LinkedIn post in which Qualcomm’s Alex Katouzian verified the sort of processor Nothing would utilise in its next-generation phone.
