      S8+G1 is from TSMC 5nm

Also, using 8 Gen 2 will add more cost to the overall bill since it's still a brand-new SoC, and that's before Nothing consider about using LPDDR5X-8533 RAM and UFS 4.0 internal storage. If they want to keep their competitive pricing advantage, there has to be some compromise.

I can't see any problem giving Android Desktop Mode capability for the masses with that SoC. It won't be a privilege for selected flagship smartphone users anymore, and most first-timers can use it as their first computer.

I even skipped all ... moreThat's why I'm waiting for this year's Mk5 Xperia 1 and 5 since they are guaranteed to run Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. As much as I love the first-gen Xperia Pro-I, Snapdragon 888 isn't my favourite SoC to play with.

                    Well... there goes the Nothing Phone's low price tag.

                        JoXim, 07 Mar 2023We'll see, maybe... But i think Nord 3 will beat both... moreNord 3 will likely have bad ultrawide camera and trash macro cam(so that they could say that it has 3 cameras on back).

                        With Nothing phone 2 i expect decent main and ultrawide cameras(Oneplus 11 have those too)

                        If you use only main cam then Nord 3 will likely be great phone for the money though!

                            Alex you fugged it up coz I really thought it would be either 8 Gen 2 or Gen 2+ or whatever they call the next iteration. So, a OnePlus 11R makes sense at this point for me atleast.

                              It can’t be the same price of the older phone or even close to it

                              That’s why they are emphasizing on the 8 gen processor

It's blazing fast, doesn't throttle and can do pretty much anything I'm throwing at it even gaming emulation. I'd immediately jump into the bandwagon if they ever release the successor of SD 870.
