The Nothing Phone 2 will Have a Snapdragon 8 Series Processor

The Nothing Phone 1 is one of the most, if not the most, exciting phones in the market. Despite being an Android device, it managed to do something different in a way that you get a unique design with some really cool looks and an overall excellent, near-stock Android experience. However, there was one minor issue with the phone--it was not a flagship device as it came with Snapdragon 7 series processor.

Don't get me wrong, the Snapdragon 7 series processor is very capable, too. However, when you are competing against the big boys in the market. Well, this is about to change as Nothing has finally confirmed at MWC 2023 that the upcoming Nothing Phone 2 is going to feature a Snapdragon 8 series processor. We do know that the phone will be coming later this year, but there are no more details that were shared with us.

As far the choice of processor is concerned, even that is a mystery at best. While we would like to see a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset in the Nothing Phone 2, we also have to deal with the fact that such a chipset would put it right next to phones like OnePlus 11, Galaxy S23, and other similar flagships slated for this year. On the other hand, we could expect an older chipset like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or the plus variant and if that is the case, we would still be more than happy.

With the Nothing Phone 2 getting a flagship/premium SoC, the phone has just become a lot more attractive for everyone who is looking forward to buying a new phone and wants something different than what the traditional market has to offer. Sadly, at the time of writing, we know little to nothing about the upcoming phone from Nothing, aside from the fact that you are getting a Snapdragon 8 series chipset and you will also have Snapdragon
