In a LinkedIn post, Alex Katouzian, Qualcomm's SVP and GM of Mobile, Compute and XR business unit congratulated the Nothing team for its upcoming device and accidentally revealed that the Nothing Phone 2 will run on the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 chipset.

While the post was soon edited to erase the leak, 91Mobiles managed to capture a screenshot of the original message.

As per Qualcomm's blog post, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset increases graphics processing unit (GPU) for devices by 10 percent compared to its predecessor, while reducing the power consumed by the phone's GPU by 30 percent.

Nothing is yet to publicly confirm whether the firm will use the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset on the Nothing Phone 2, which is expected to make its debut as the successor to the Nothing Phone 1 that was launched last year.
