Nothing Phone 3 arrives July 15 with a tiny dot matrix rear display

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-17 16:14:49

Nothing, a startup from OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, has announced its first flagship phone since 2023. The company bills its new Nothing Phone 3 as a "true flagship" device, but it doesn't have the absolute best hardware you can get in a mobile device. Neither does it have the highest price, clocking in at a mere $799. That's shaping up to be a good value, but it's also the highest price yet for a Nothing phone. A few weeks back, Nothing teased the end of its trademark Glyph interface. Indeed,

A climber stranded at nearly 11,000 feet in the Colorado wilderness was rescued this week thanks to Apple’s Emergency SOS satellite messaging feature. Here’s what happened. Glissading gone wrong As reported by KDVR (via Reddit), a 53-year-old man had just summited Snowmass Mountain on Sunday, before beginning his descent using a glissading technique (which is essentially sliding down the snow-covered slope). That’s when he injured his wrist and realized he couldn’t make it out on his own. Wit

Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Google Pixel 9a might be the best-value phone of 2025, especially now that it brings flagship-level AI tools, a bright 120Hz display, and a massive battery into a more affordable price tier.

In another sign that the Trump White House is aggressively moving to slash NASA’s science programs, dozens of mission leaders have been asked to prepare "closeout" plans by the end of next week. The new directive came from NASA's senior leadership on Monday, which is acting on behalf of the White House Office of Management and Budget. Copies of these memos, which appear to vary a little by department, were reviewed by Ars. The detailed closeout plans called for must be prepared by as soon as Ju

If you read my previous post, The time is right for a DOM templating API, you might be wondering what such an API would look like. Let's dive into that question now. What are we building? First, let's clarify what we're trying to design here, because when people hear the abstract template API idea described, before there's a concrete proposal or examples, they can sometimes think of very different things.

The allure and terror of transferring your consciousness to a computer has long been fodder for cyberpunk novels and billionaire-backed immortality startups. But a substantial chunk of neuroscientists think it might be possible to extract memories from a preserved brain and store those memories inside a computer, according to a new study.
