Voice recording on Nothing Phone 3’s Essential Space gets a due upgrade

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-31 14:34:51

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Nothing has updated the voice recorder functionality in Essential Space. With this update, the voice recordings will not have complete transcriptions instead of just summaries. The update is limited to Nothing Phone 3 and has yet to arrive on the Phone 3a, which offers similar summarization functionality for voice notes. The Nothing Phone 3 may stop short of being the perfect flagship, but it has some unique and nifty elements. One of them is Essential S

While generative AI tools that primarily amount to slop generators grab most of the attention in the artificial intelligence space, there are occasionally some actually useful applications of the technology, like Google DeepMind’s use of AI weather models to predict cyclones.

Eventually, SpaceX wants to catch ships coming back from space with big mechanical arms on the launch pad, similar to the way SpaceX has shown it can recover the rocket's huge Super Heavy booster. This would allow SpaceX to theoretically stack a freshly flown ship on top of a booster right on the launch pad, then quickly refuel it and launch it again. There are plenty of things SpaceX must prove before the company is able to do this. But SpaceX has already demonstrated it can handle some of the
