Nothing is gearing up to launch its second smartphone later this summer. The company has been teasing the Nothing Phone (2) for a while now, while leaks have revealed its key specs. The handset has also picked up regulatory approvals in a few markets. As we wait for its official launch date, the Nothing Phone (2) has shown up on Geekbench.
The second-gen Nothing phone has visited Geekbench with the model number A065, which we have known since February of this year (via). Contrary to some rumors, the device appeared with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in this benchmark run. There have been rumors that Nothing will equip the Phone (2) with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.
The two chips share most of the specs but the latter packs a faster CPU. More precisely, its Cortex-X2 prime CPU core operates at a maximum frequency of 3.2GHz as opposed to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s 3.0GHz maximum CPU frequency. The rest of the CPU setup is unchanged. We have three Cortex-A710 mid-cores clocked at 2.5GHz and four Cortex-A510 efficiency cores clocked at 1.8GHz.
The Nothing Phone (2) will come with 12GB of RAM
While we will have to wait for confirmation on whether the Nothing Phone (2) will ship with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or its Plus version, the Geekbench entry confirms that the device will arrive with 12GB of RAM. The company may offer an 8GB RAM variant as well. We should be looking at LPDDR5 RAM here, and not the faster LPDDR5X. Storage options may include 128GB and 256GB. Once again, Nothing will probably equip the phone with UFS 3.1 storage chip rather than the faster UFS 4.0.
Unsurprisingly, the Nothing Phone (2) will run Android 13 out of the box, likely with the latest version of the company’s custom skin on top. That’s all the Geekbench listing tells us about the phone. The early benchmark run yielded scores of 1,253 and 3,833 in sing-core and multi-core tests, respectively. These scores are on par with what other Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered devices have achieved on Geekbench 5. Nothing may push things up a little with further software optimizations closer to the phone’s launch.
The Nothing Phone (1) launched in July last year. The company may debut the second-gen model around the same time this year. Rumors suggest the new model will be of the same size as its predecessor, meaning that it would retain the 6.55-inch AMOLED display with FullHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and an under-display fingerprint scanner. It’d be nice if Nothing makes the screen brighter, though. Expect to encounter more leaks and rumors about the Nothing Phone (2) in the coming weeks.
