Preety good move for Nothing uses SD 8+ Gen 1 instead as the best chipset. And he knows this gives hype to the audiences when it comes to marketing their phones with premium quality level. Hope this phone take a long support along with his ambition to make future phones in the upcoming years.

    Disappointed

      Its a good chip and it's what I was expecting. It's TSMC and battery efficient and more than enough to run the latest games and everyday apps.

            I think its good move.

              This phone is already outdated in specs.

                    Vikass17, 07 Mar 2023There is no proper upgrade in 7 series and in 8 series only... moreUpcoming realme with 7+g1 ( or 7g2) has antutu score above 8g1 phones

                      There is no proper upgrade in 7 series and in 8 series only good option is this chip.
                      870 is coming to end of it's life cycle . They stop supporting chip after 3 year or maybe 4 years.
                      888 was hot mess.
                      So obviously they will go for only option, as sd 8 gen 2 is new and expensive.

                            Bet Carl Pei will be putting in a few calls to all his influencer buddies again to hype this one.

                                        I bet Oneplus 11 kills this phone: faster charging, newest Snapdragon 8 gen 2, good cameras and i doubt Nothing phone 2 will be priced low enough so that regular people who does not like gimmicks will choose that over Oneplus 11!
