More details concerning the Nothing Phone (3) smartphone have leaked, and it’s shaping up to be a seriously appealing flagship phone.
Yesterday saw the new phone from the British start-up appearing on the Geekbench benchmark tool for the first time.
We already knew that the successor the Nothing Phone (2) was going to be powered by the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (which will facilitate longer software support), and that’s accompanied here by 16GB of RAM.
Sure enough, the resulting figures are in line with our own recent experience with the chip in the Poco F7.
We’re looking at a single-core score of 2076 and a multi-core score of 6577. Not the fastest on the market right now by any means, but enough to give the Google Pixel 9 Pro a bloody nose.

More Nothing Phone (3) specs
In other news, the Nothing Phone (3) has appeared in FCC and SGS listings (via The Tech Outlook), which is the next best thing to an official spec list.
These confirm that the Nothing Phone (3) will run off a 5,150mAh battery, and will support 65W wired charging.
We also learn that the phone will have Nothing OS 3.3 out of the box, based on Android 15.
There are no surprises on the connectivity front, with Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, and NFC connectivity all confirmed. Expect the phone to come in two colours: White and Blue.
Company co-founder Carl Pei has already revealed that the Nothing Phone (3) will cost around £800 when it launches on 1 July 2025. The company has also revealed that the phone will see the end its signature Glyph lighting system.
All in all, it’s shaping up to be quite the exciting development from Nothing’s previous flagship phones. We’ll doubtless hear more ahead of that 1 July launch date.
