Nothing Phone (3) appears on Geekbench ahead of July 1 launch

The Nothing Phone (3) is shaping up to be the company’s most powerful phone yet, and a new Geekbench listing is adding to the buzz just days before its official debut on July 1. With upgraded performance and a flagship-grade spec sheet, Nothing’s latest may finally put it in the big leagues.

According to a listing, the Phone (3)’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 notched 2,076 in the single-core test and 6,577 in multi-core—solid numbers for a near-flagship processor. Compared to the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 used in the Phone (2), Nothing CEO Carl Pei says the new chip brings a 36% boost in CPU performance, 88% in GPU, and 60% in NPU, offering snappier overall performance. In fact, the chip’s scores are pretty close to the performance-centric iQOO Neo 10, so users can expect the Phone (3) to feel fast and responsive in everyday use.

The listing also reveals 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and, as expected, Android 15—likely running with Nothing OS 3.5 on top. Nothing is also reportedly extending its software support, promising five years of OS updates and seven years of security patches, up from the 3+4 support offered with the previous model.

Leaked specs suggest the Phone (3) will sport a 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1920Hz PWM, and 3,000 nits peak brightness. If true, it will be an upgrade over the 1600 nits peak of the predecessor. Under the hood, a 5,150mAh battery is expected to support 100W wired charging.

Camera-wise, the phone may feature a versatile quad 50MP setup— main with OIS, ultrawide, 3x periscope zoom, and a front-facing camera. The signature Glyph Matrix design will add Nothing’s unique visual flair.

With strong performance, a standout display, and a beefed-up camera setup, the Phone (3) looks ready to compete with the OnePlus 13. Whether it can truly live up to the hype remains to be seen, but Nothing’s upcoming launch is one to watch.
