I Tried the Nothing Phone 3 and It Definitely Didn't Live Up to the Hype

Nothing made things difficult for itself by calling its latest phone its first "true flagship." It suggests that it is a contender to premium phones such as the iPhone 16 Pro or the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but it simply isn't. Instead it's a solid midranger, offering decent performance and a host of quirky features for a relatively affordable price. At $799 (£799), the Nothing Phone 3 is the most expensive phone the company has made, and it backs this up with a more potent processor, better cameras a

Galaxy S25 Ultra vs. iPhone 16 Pro: Best Camera Phones Compared

The photography skills of the iPhone 16 Pro and Galaxy S25 Ultra are among the best money can buy, taking pics that can rival even dedicated mirrorless cameras. And with travel season ramping up, carrying a phone may be the most convenient way of always having a powerful camera with you.

I'm Testing the Nothing Phone 3 and There's One Surprise Feature I Love So Far

I've been testing the Nothing Phone 3 since it was unveiled at an event in London last week. I still like the quirky design, with its transparent back and the Glyph Matrix rear display.

The FPGA turns 40

This year marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most exciting and interesting aspects of electronic engineering: the FPGA.

People Being Replaced by AI Are Suffering a Deep Sense of Worthlessness

If you find yourself asking dark existential questions about technology lately — like, for instance, "what's the point of existence if AI is better than me?" — you're definitely not alone.
