Nothing Phone (3) Spotted on Geekbench
The rumored Nothing Phone (3) appears on Geekbench, revealing potential specs like Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC, 8GB RAM, and Android 15. Rumors suggest a Plus or Pro variant may also be in the works.

Excitement is building around the rumored Nothing Phone (3) as a new device, believed to be the next iteration of Nothing’s smartphone lineup, has made an appearance on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. This listing provides a tantalizing glimpse into the potential specifications of the upcoming device, fueling anticipation among tech enthusiasts.

Benchmark Performance and Key Specifications

The Geekbench listing reveals a Nothing device with the model number A059, achieving a respectable single-core score of 1,149 and a multi-core score of 2,813. At the heart of this device lies an unnamed octa-core chipset, widely speculated to be the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC. This processor configuration suggests a focus on balanced performance, featuring a prime core clocked at 2.5GHz, three performance cores operating at 2.4GHz, and four efficiency cores running at 1.8GHz.

Further details gleaned from the listing include the presence of an Adreno 810 GPU, responsible for graphics processing, and 8GB of RAM. While 8GB seems to be the base configuration, it’s plausible that Nothing will offer additional RAM variants to cater to varying user needs. Software-wise, the device is expected to ship with the latest Android 15 operating system, complemented by Nothing’s distinctive NothingOS skin, which adds a unique visual flair and user experience enhancements.

Decoding the Model Numbers: A Tale of Two Variants?

Adding to the intrigue surrounding the Nothing Phone (3) are previous reports suggesting the existence of two distinct models within the series. These models, identified by the model numbers A059 and A059P, hint at a potential dual release strategy. The A059 is widely believed to be the standard Nothing Phone (3), while the “P” in A059P could signify a “Plus” or “Pro” variant, potentially named the Nothing Phone (3) Plus or Nothing Phone (3) Pro. This naming convention aligns with the model numbers observed in the Nothing Phone 2a and Phone 2a Plus, which bear the model numbers A142 and A142P, respectively.

Rumored Features and Design

Speculation is rife about the individual features of these potential variants. The base Nothing Phone (3), reportedly codenamed “Arcanine,” is rumored to boast a 6.5-inch display. However, there’s some uncertainty regarding the chipset. While the Geekbench listing points towards the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC, earlier rumors hinted at the possibility of a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset.

On the other hand, the Nothing Phone (3) Plus or Pro variant, potentially codenamed “Hisuian,” is expected to feature a larger 6.7-inch display and might be driven by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. This chipset choice suggests a focus on high performance and efficiency, catering to users seeking a more powerful device.

Anticipated Pricing and Availability

While Nothing has remained tight-lipped about the official pricing and availability of the Nothing Phone (3) series, industry insiders speculate that the base variant could be priced around $599 (roughly Rs. 50,500), positioning it as a competitive offering in the mid-range segment. The Pro variant, with its potentially enhanced specifications, is likely to command a higher price, possibly around $699 (roughly Rs. 58,900).
