The Nothing Phone (3) is one of the year’s most anticipated smartphones, especially following the successful debut of its predecessor, the Nothing Phone (2), in 2023. With rumors flying around its availability, a fresh listing on Geekbench appears to have revealed some of its specifications. Here’s all we know so far about the impending smartphone.
GeekBench Performance
The phone, model number A059 on Geekbench, appears to be the standard Nothing Phone (3). It achieves remarkable benchmark scores, with 1,149 points in single-core tests and 2,813 in multi-core testing.
The phone is powered by an unidentified CPU with the following features:
- A prime core is clocked at 2.5GHz.
- Three performance cores running at 2.4GHz
