Nothing Phone 3 teardown reveals the guts of the year’s oddest-looking smartphone

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-11 06:09:30

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The latest JerryRigEverything teardown looks into the durability and reparability of the Nothing Phone 3. Scratch resistance is nothing to write home about, but the phone withstands bending quite well. Getting the rear glass off looks a little challenging, but past that, disassembly goes quite smoothly. For all the complaints we tend to hear about modern phones not offering nearly enough variety, so far this year has brought us some pleasantly anomalo

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-11 16:52:53

Google is continuing to double down on its AI Mode, bringing more features to its dedicated Search chatbot. Today, the company is adding the Gemini 2.5 Pro model and the Deep Search capability to AI Mode. These features will be available to Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers. Although both of these tools can still be accessed through other means, Google's move to incorporate them into the chatbot points to an end goal of AI Mode being the primary form of engagement with the company's

I Usually Find Android Phones Too Complicated, but the Pixel 9 Pro Is Different

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-11 14:59:00

CNET's key takeaways I've been using Google's Pixel 9 Pro for months. I like its solid overall performance and quirky new AI skills. The element that stands out most is how easy it is to use. Android phones often get a bad rap for being overly convoluted. And to be fair, that's often well justified. Samsung's Galaxy S25 range, for example, has deep menu systems for messing about with nearly every aspect of the phone, along with features like the Edge Panel sidebar and a variety of Samsung's
