Nothing phone (1) to run Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+, confirms Carl Pei

The Nothing phone (1)–one of the most hyped devices in recent times– will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ chipset. This information was confirmed by Nothing founder Carl Pei to InputMag. According to a report, Pei has also justified why they’ve gone for a mid-range processor, instead of a flagship one.

According to the report, Pei thinks more phones now have a good enough performance for general tasks, and more powerful chips have ‘diminishing returns’. He also thought the 778G+ is more power-efficient and better battery life will be key. It also looks like Qualcomm has added two wireless charging and reverse wireless charging to the chipset being used in the Nothing phone (1).
