This time around, they are equipping the smartphone with a MediaTek Dimensity 7200 Pro chipset with up to 12GB RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. Its memory can be expanded up to 20GB via RAM Booster.
A 5,000mAh battery powers the device and Nothing claims they were able to reduce the power consumption of specific components by up to 10%, which helps with battery life. They have also increased battery longevity by 25% and 13% reduction in temperature that allows it to maintain 90% of its maximum capacity after 1,000 charging cycles.
