Carl Pei has announced Nothing Phone 2 will run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. He tweeted the same and also detailed the key differences between it and Phone 1. We’ll get to that comparison. And we will also address the fact that SD 8+ Gen 1 might not be the latest and greatest, but it still makes great sense for Nothing to use it.
Let’s break it down.
What Carl said about Nothing Phone 2’s processor
:
Carl Pei compares Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 vs Snapdragon 778G+ (inside Nothing Phone 1):
1. Carl says there is an 80-per cent performance bump on SD 8 Plus Gen 1 from the SD 778 Plus within the Phone 1. He also quotes a 2x improvement in app-opening speeds.
2. He also highlights the benefits in terms of battery life, heat management, network connectivity, and camera capabilities from TSMC’s 4nm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1.

3. The new chip also brings an 18-bit ISP and camera features like Raw HDR and 4K 60 fps recording.
Why using Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 inside Nothing Phone 2 makes sense?
Besides the aforementioned features and benefits of Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, he justifies this makes sense from a user benefit standpoint. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 might be the latest and greatest at this point but doesn’t perform a lot better than SD 8+ Gen 1, at least in the CPU department.

Qualcomm has upgraded the GPU on the new chip which would reflect while gaming. Still, the 8+ Gen 1 should be more than enough for even most gamers out there.
What ends the argument is that Snapdragon 8+ Gen 2 is expensive too. So, Nothing must have saved some cost by using half a gen-old chip.
We will have to wait and see if it translates well in its pricing too.
There has been a lot of discussion ever since we announced that Phone (2) will have a Snapdragon 8 Series chipset. Well here’s some news – it’s going to be the premium-tier powerhouse Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. A clear upgrade from Phone (1). Let’s talk about the key differences pic.twitter.com/l5NwCxDAVa
