Qualcomm CEO says Nothing Phone (2) gets last year’s soc

The Nothing Phone (2) will get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 from last fall, instead of the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, a Qualcomm executive claimed in a LinkedIn post. The post has since been edited.

Nothing Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Nothing himself only said that it was a Snapdragon 8-soc, but Qualcomm CEO Alex Katouzian said on LinkedIn according to 91 Mobiles that it was a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. By now he edited the post and it says ‘Snapdragon 8’.

The brand can opt for last year’s soc for the upcoming phone to reduce costs. The Phone (1) has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ and that is a soc for midrange phones. The Nothing Phone (1) was released for 469 euros.

The Phone (2) should be released later this year and it will be the manufacturer’s second phone. Nothing will announce new earbuds later this month. Nothing has not yet said when exactly his next smartphone will be released.
