Now that we’re approaching the final weeks of 2024, new information is coming in about the successor to Nothing Phone (2) and even the renewed model appeared on a benchmarking platform. This revealed the chipset powering the upcoming Nothing Phone (3).
The new smartphone was specifically spotted on the GeekBench platform with the model number A059 and is believed to be the Nothing Phone (3), which is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC and 8GB of RAM. With this processor, the company received 1,149 points in the single-core test and 2,813 points in the multi-core test. The listing confirms that it runs Android 15 out of the box which will likely be based on the NothingOS 3.0 custom skin.
This may seem strange, as the Nothing Phone (2) was a high-end device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. So, it may seem that Nothing is not returning to a mid-range phone in the Phone (3), similar to the Phone (1). However, this might just be the base model of the Phone (3) series. A few months ago, two mysterious Nothing Phones were spotted in the IMEI database, namely A059 and A059P. The latter is probably the most powerful Pro version.
Based on what we know so far, the Nothing Phone (3) has probably been pushed back to 2025. It may also include an action button. The vanilla Nothing Phone (3) could feature a 6.5-inch display, while the Nothing Phone (3) Pro could be equipped with a taller 6.7-inch display. While the upcoming third iteration was initially rumored to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, it may be relegated to mid-range status. Meanwhile, the Pro model could be called the Nothing Phone (3)+ and may feature the Dimensity 9400 SoC.
