Nothing fools Phone 3 buyers by taking pics from FujiFilm and advertising it as shot from Phone 3
Apparently, one of the photographers behind these images reached out anonymously to Android Authority, advising us that all five of these images are available for license on the stock photo marketplace Stills: the window, the glass, the headlight, the staircase, and the woman.
Rather than a Phone 3, photographer Fox confirms that he shot the headlight pic using a Fujifilm XH2s. In fact, he took the picture in Paris all the way back in 2023, long before the Phone 3 was even a glimmer.
Embarrassingly , Photographers confirmed that Nothing did pay them for their photos through the Stills platform.
Nothing spokesperson said:
Thus, Nothing confirmed the allegations.

Accuracy in how we represent our product capabilities is important to us. Phone (3) demo units are being updated to feature only images captured with Phone (3).
Thus, Nothing confirmed the allegations.

@Reptalicant Wtf the stability?
So the highest loop score is worse than the Adreno 750 but the lowest loop score is better than the Adreno 750.

⚡️Millions Are Emotionally Attached to AI Companions
AI companions are being pushed as the cure for loneliness—but they come with a dangerous cost.
Leaked Meta docs reveal a strategy of subtle AI romances, even with children. A Senate investigation ensued after Reuters exposed how Meta normalized these “acceptable” responses.
Meanwhile, apps like Replika have millions hooked, selling “partners” and “spouses” for $70/year—Italy even banned them for exploiting fragile users.
One tragic case: a retired man, lured by Meta’s chatbot “Big Sis Billie,” died after rushing to meet her in NYC.
This isn’t friendship—it’s hacking human connection. Personalized AI optimizes for engagement, not care. What we need is real human relationships, not digital drugs.

Google has revealed the new Android statue!
Each year, Google places a new statue somewhere on its Mountain View campus that celebrates the latest Android release.
This year's statue highlights Google's new Material 3 Expressive design and its playful shapes. (Though technically Material 3 Expressive comes with Android 16 QPR1 and not the initial Android 16 release.) The statue's design was crowdsourced from the Android team and Gemini was used to illustrate the ideas.
