Nothing Says the Phone 3 Isn’t One Big Gimmick, but I’m Not So Sure

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-02-14 05:26:32

Nothing CEO Carl Pei wants you to know one thing: the startup’s smartphones aren’t just relying on a schtick. The Phone 3, which was finally unveiled this week after seemingly never-ending leaks and teasers, is being billed as the company’s “true flagship,” which means… to be honest, I don’t know what the hell it means. But it’s clear that Nothing sees it as its most premium phone yet, which is evident not just through its own messaging but also its starting price. The Phone 3 costs $800—more th

Your phone's personal hotspot feature can come in handy in so many ways. For instance, if your home internet is experiencing an outage or if you brought your laptop to a cafe that doesn't offer Wi-Fi access, you can instead use your cellular data plan to get your other devices online. All recent iPhone and Android phones offer this feature, and if your cellular plan supports it, you can connect your laptop or other devices through your phone's 4G or 5G connection.

Ugh! Too Bad We Have to Wait 2 Months for the iPhone 17 and This Rumored Feature

Leaks about the iPhone 17 have been pouring in for more than a year. We've seen reports of a new selfie camera, faster MagSafe charging and a new purple (or green) color. We've even heard rumors that Apple might change how frequently it launches new iPhone models, from once a year to twice. But when the iPhone 16 debuted, there was criticism aimed at its screen. The phone starts at $829 and still has a 60Hz display, despite most phones from competitors having high-refresh-rate screens topping o

iPhones and Android smartphones started to play more nicely together after Apple finally opted to support the Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard. Prior to this, messages between the two platforms had to use the ancient and insecure text messaging service. Not all RCS features are supported as yet, with the all-important strong encryption waiting for RCS 3.0 support in iOS 26. Another RCS 3.0 feature is the ability to edit outgoing messages after sending them, and that one has started a

How Much Will the iPhone 17 Cost? End of Tariff Pause Puts $2,400 in Play

The rumored iPhone 17 is likely to cost more than the iPhone 16. Let's just get that out of the way up front. But why it may cost more -- and how much more -- is still in question. President Donald Trump's self-imposed deadline of July 9 for the "reciprocal tariff" pause could finally cap his months-long trade roller coaster, which has resulted so far in tentative trade deals with Vietnam, the UK and China.
