1 week ago | talkandroid.com | Irene Okpanachi

CEO Carl Pei was pretty firm on X about Nothing's focus being on the Phone 3a this year instead of the Phone 3. His frustrations are understandable with people already demanding the next big thing following rumors of the phone being the first flagship. It's been a year since the Phone 2a model launched. If he's not in a rush to release the successor, maybe it means they're working hard to refine it.

But we are finally entering a time where home cleaning products are becoming more popular. The term “next-gen” may have been overspent on many devices this year that aren't worth the hype. But it's not every day you see a litter box that cleans itself, tracks your cat’s bathroom habits, and lets you control it from an app.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 Leak Teases Major Upgrades

2 weeks ago | talkandroid.com | Irene Okpanachi

Qualcomm broke tradition in 2024 by naming its latest flagship chip the Snapdragon 8 Elite instead of continuing with the expected Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 naming pattern. Hypothetically, that shift would mean the next one should be called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. But the company hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

Google Messages Is Giving Long Texts the Space They Deserve

2 weeks ago | talkandroid.com | Irene Okpanachi

You don't need perfect timing to send a text message, especially when you're putting together a long, thoughtful text to get something off your chest.
