Nothing Phone (3) – GeekBench Listing Unveils Key Specs

The Nothing Phone (3) with the model number A059 appears to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM.

On GeekBench, it scored 1,149 points in the single-core test and 2,813 in the multi-core test.

The listing also confirms that the device will run Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.0 as its custom skin.

Interestingly, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 marks a departure from the flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip used in the Nothing Phone (2).

This suggests the Phone (3) might return to a mid-range positioning, similar to the Phone (1).

However, this could also indicate that the Phone (3) is the base model in a potential series.

Earlier leaks hinted at two Nothing devices on the IMEI database, which most likely included the standard Phone (3) with model number A059 and a more powerful Pro variant with model number A059P.

Reports suggest the Pro model could feature the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset and possibly be branded as the Nothing Phone (3)+.
