As we get closer to the launch of Nothing’s first-generation smartphone, more details about it begin to emerge. The latest news involves the phone’s chipset and RAM capacity which both surfaced in a new listing. Nothing Phone (1) has been listed on the Geekbench benchmarking site, which reveals the smartphone will be powered by a Snapdragon 778+ processor paired with 8GB of RAM.
As initially spotted by the Folks at MySmartPrice, Nothing Phone (1) has paid a visit to the Geekbench site. The listing suggests Nothing Phone (1) will have Snapdragon 778+ under the hood. It can be seen that the phone’s chipset bears the “Lahaina” codename and features a maximum clock speed of 2.52GHz which should be for the single performance core. We can also see an additional trio of cores clocked at 2.40Ghz and four power-efficient cores running at 1.80GHz.
The Snapdragon 778+ chip is an upgrade over the standard 778. It ups the Kryo 670 Prime clock speed from 2.4Hz to 2.5 GHz. It also boosts the Adreno 642L by 20%.
The Nothing Phone (1) in the listing is equipped with 8GB RAM and boots Android 12. It will have a NothingOS skin on top. The smartphone was spotted on the Geekbench website with 797 points in the single-core test and 2803 in the multi-core test.

The processor indicates that the Phone (1) will be an ordinary mid-ranger in terms of performance. It will likely be priced the same as OnePlus Nord devices. The processor is definitely going to disappoint those who were expecting better performance. Anyways, it will be interesting to see how many sales a transparent back and LED lights are going to drive.
Nothing Phone (1) will be unveiled on July 12 in an event called “Return to instinct”. The smartphone will likely come in a single white color and likely be priced under $380.
