March 4 is going to be a big day for this fun Android phone brand

Nothing has released yet another vague teaser for what could be a new smartphone, but this time the information shared includes a date and time: 10 a.m. GMT on March 4. The post, first shared to Nothing’s X account, doesn’t share many details — just a vague shape that some fans have already tied to the phone’s camera module, or perhaps its iconic glyph interface.

Nothing is no stranger to cryptic teasers; in fact, it’s one of the company’s preferred marketing methods. Nothing has a history of slowly doling out information in the weeks leading up to launch, and that technique has proven effective in building hype.

The thread is full of replies from fans comparing the image to existing phone cameras, while others interpreted the video to point to three rear cameras and the Nothing Phone 3. Nothing has yet to confirm whether its teasing a phone or not, but known tipster Max Jambor made a not-so-subtle post that says “Looks like SOM3THING exciting is coming on March 4!”

Last week, Nothing posted a teaser involving the Pokémon Arcanine. This ignited a flurry of speculation, with most analysts deciding it likely referred to a serial number — perhaps A059, given Arcanine’s Pokédex number — and many discovering a not-yet-published link to Indian retailer Flipkart.

Nothing released the Nothing Phone 2 on July 11, 2023 and the Nothing Phone 2a on March 12, 2024. The Nothing Phone 3 is expected to release sometime in March; each previous generation saw an announcement, followed by a release roughly a week later. If that pattern continues, you might be able to get your hands on this device sooner than you expect.

However, the main entries in the lineup — the Nothing Phone 1 and Nothing Phone 2 — were both released in summer. The Nothing Phone 3 could be announced in March, but may not be available until later. We can’t say for sure either way, but the March 4 event should reveal more details.

OnePlus makes the best Android phone and watch combo you can get right now
The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus Watch 3.

Something unexpected has happened. There’s a fantastic smartphone and smartwatch combination available to buy right now that I think you’d be mad to pass by, and it’s not an Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 10. It’s not a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and a Galaxy Watch 7 either. It’s the OnePlus 13 and the OnePlus Watch 3, and I think it’s the best Android phone and watch pairing I’ve come across in ages.
Brilliant products

I should explain why this was unexpected, at least to me. The OnePlus Watch 3 is the first OnePlus smartwatch I’ve used, and what I’d heard about previous models from colleagues didn’t really make me feel as if I was missing out. From poor quality health tracking results to a crown that rotated by didn’t actually do anything, I was always confident in recommending Samsung’s trusty Galaxy Watch or a Mobvoi TicWatch as the smartwatch to get if you owned an Android phone.

Nothing, the mobile and lifestyle tech brand founded by OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, is set to launch its next set of mid-rangers early in March. Official details of the devices, including Nothing Phone (3a) and (3a) Pro, have been scanty, but a new leak hints at the tentative specifications, including upgrades coming to the processor, new camera setup, and other improvements to the design.

Earlier, Pei had teased the Nothing Phone (3a) series is moving to a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip instead of MediaTek seen on the Phone (2a) and (2a) Plus. This week's leak, courtesy of a tip received by Indian outlet SmartPrix, corroborates it and states that both phones with be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 -- a mid-range chipset launched in August 2024.

Why I’m sad this delightful iPhone camera is about to go away

When Apple replaces the current iPhone SE (2022) with a new version, it seems increasingly likely it’ll mark the end of an era, because the SE as we know it is the only current iPhone still available with a 12-megapixel camera on the back. Once a mainstay of all iPhones, the 12MP camera is about to be completely superseded by the 48MP camera. You may be surprised to hear I’m going to miss it, so let me explain why.
The end is near

Several months after the iPhone SE (2022) came out, Apple released the iPhone 14 series and it put a 12MP camera on the non-Pro models, just as it had done since the iPhone 6S. While you can still buy the iPhone 14 new today, it was the last brand new device to launch with a 12MP camera, and when the iPhone 15 came along all the models received a 48MP main camera. Unlike the iPhone 14, the iPhone SE (2022) has lived on as a current phone since then, and is only now about to be replaced.
