While it’s possible to manipulate benchmark listings to fabricate information about nonexistent devices. However, adding a brand-new SoC into such a listing is a significantly more tough task. Nonetheless, we would suggest our readers take the listing with a pinch of salt.

The listing details reveal that the Nubia smartphone, codenamed NX769J, runs on Android 14 and has the ‘pineapple’ motherboard, purportedly associated with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 testbed. We can see the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 achieving a single-core score of 1596 and a multi-core score of 5977 on Geekbench 5.

Additionally, Digital Chat Station indicates that this is the “regular” variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, hinting at the potential for an overclocked version. The Weibo post also provides insights into the core arrangement: a primary ARM Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.19GHz, accompanied by performance-oriented ARM Cortex-A720 cores running at 2.96GHz, and power-efficient ARM Cortex-A520 cores operating at 2.27GHz. The precise configuration entails 1 x 3.19GHz X4 core, 5 x 2.96GHz A720 cores, and 2 x 2.27GHz A520 cores. The GPU has been identified as the Adreno 750, with no core information available.

As the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 launch date approaches, it’s expected that more benchmark results will emerge, shedding further light on the chip’s capabilities and competitive positioning.
