Nothing fans are mixed on the Phone 3’s leaked design, but what do you think?

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-23 06:58:25

Nothing is expected to launch the Nothing Phone 3 tomorrow (July 1), and we already know that the phone will have a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset and a 50MP periscope camera. However, Android Headlines posted apparent Nothing Phone 3 renders last week (seen above), and it certainly seems to have drawn a polarizing response online. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that the sentiment has been overwhelmingly negative, with people calling it “ugly” and “awful.” One Redditor even called it an “abomina

engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-23 13:01:28

There are often better and cheaper alternatives to Apple’s first-party accessories, but the company’s MagSafe wireless charger is worth considering if you have a new iPhone. Like all other MagSafe accessories, this charging pad uses magnets to attach to the back of the latest iPhones and it’s surprisingly strong. Not only can you safely pick up your handset and use it with the disk still attached, but the iPhone can dangle by the charger’s cord without falling off. (You still probably shouldn’t

I spent a week living like it was 1993 — here’s how it went

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority Last week, I embarked upon an experiment. I wanted to know what it would feel like to live as if it were 1993 again. That year was the tail end of the analog era, just before the internet and Windows 95 and the first dot com bubble. I was a kid then, so I had some memory of how things were. But could I still function in that world today? For one week, I lived without modern technology unless it was absolutely necessary for work and emergencies. I carried a D

My Wife and I Are Never Splitting AirPods Again Thanks to This iPhone Trick

When my wife and I travel, we usually download some shows to watch on our flight. But when we watch those shows, we always have to split a set of AirPods so we each have one earbud. That means one of our ears is enjoying the show while the other is forced to endure whatever is happening around the plane, which can be a little distracting.

Smartphones contain a treasure trove of personal data, which makes them a worthwhile target for hackers. However, law enforcement is not above snooping on cell phones, and their tactics are usually much harder to detect. Cell site simulators, often called Stingrays, can trick your phone into revealing private communications, but a change in Android 16 could allow phones to detect this spying.
