- At MWC 2023, Nothing confirmed that the Nothing Phone 2 will have a Snapdragon 8-series processor.
- This will make the 2023 smartphone a premium device, as opposed to the Phone 1, which was a mid-ranger.
- Of course, the inclusion of this more advanced processor will certainly increase the price of the phone.
The Nothing Phone 1 was one of the most interesting phones of 2022. Its light-up back — known as The Glyph — immediately set it apart from the pack. However, its Snapdragon 7-series processor made the phone a mid-ranger, likely turning away some otherwise interested buyers.
Thankfully, folks interested in the Nothing Phone 2 won’t need to worry about this. At Mobile World Congress 2023, Nothing and Qualcomm announced that the Phone 2 will have a Snapdragon 8-series processor. This will make the 2023 smartphone a premium device with processing power comparable to flagships from major OEMs.
