Nothing Phone (4a) Geekbench Leak Confirms Snapdragon Processor & 12GB RAM

More updates abound as the Nothing Phone (4a) nears launch. Carl Pei himself confirmed that this newcomer is ready and could arrive soon. It appeared on the Geekbench database today, while exposing the exact chipset they’ve mounted inside the Nothing Phone (4a).

Geekbench grabbed the details of this device during the internal testing by the Nothing team. The Phone (4a) is built around an 8-core processor that has a boost clock speed of 2.71 GHz on the primary core. The other cores are split into 2.4 GHz and 1.8 GHz (efficiency) clusters. 

This chip is obviously the new Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, upgraded from the 7s Gen 3 on the Phone (3a). It fits the general upgrade path, and the unique architecture is also a dead giveaway. If you need more proof, we also found the listing’s source code, which clearly reveals Adreno 810 iGPU. That’s only found inside SD 7s Gen 4.

By the way, this was the AI benchmark of this device, so it’s basically testing the Phone 4a’s NPU. Its single-precision score was 707, and the half-precision score was 1,077. It pushed the scores to 1,265 points in the quantized test. Nothing new A model may be the perfect mid-range device.

We also found some specs beyond the CPU. Nothing Phone (4a) is tested on the platform with a 12GB RAM version. We are assuming there’s also an 8GB version in the pipeline, but that’s just a theory for now. Nothing will keep the software a top priority for this newcomer. 

The listing says Android 16 is found on the Phone (4a), which means Nothing OS 4.0 overlay could make its debut here. Those are the only details we could find on Geekbench. There’s more speculation on the internet, though.

We hear the company might have to bump the price of the Phone (4a) series due to RAM shortage. And Carl Pei confirmed that the storage type will be changed to UFS 3.1 on both vanilla and Pro versions. The duo might launch as early as next month. Keep watching the news for updates.
