Nothing Downgrades Phone 3 Display PWM Rating

PWM, known as "pulse width modulation," is a technology used by brands to rapidly turn the display on and off to trick your eyes into thinking the screen's brighter or dimmer. It's this flickering that can cause grueling problems for people who are PWM sensitive. Some people can suffer from eye strain, headaches, dizziness, a sense of vertigo, nausea, and a whole host of other uncomfortable feelings.

When Nothing Phone 3 was announced, its specifications page mentioned that the phone features 2160Hz PWM rating. The higher the PWM rating, the lesser is the flickering at low brightness and the better it is for your eyes.
Now, a Nothing spokesperson confirmed to Android Central that the retail software release of the Phone 3 features a PWM rate change. The company states the device's rate has changed from 2,160Hz to 960Hz to improve its screen's picture quality at low brightness.

What more funny is that, Nothing is actually scared as it will affect their sales. Thus, Nothing have not written any mention 960Hz PWM in phone 3's technical specs page and even removed the 2160Hz PWM parameter on that page. So, this change was only announced to the reviewers instead of the general public.

🚨 Xiaomi Watch Users, You've Been Played 🚨

Remember when Xiaomi promised built-in AI on your HyperOS smartwatch? Turns out, instead of the on-device AI, your queries and images are now sent straight to some third-party service called *AI Zone* – because clearly nothing says “trust” in handing your personal data to a mystery provider you’ve never heard of.

Even better? It's now $4/month for the privilege. That’s right – they stripped out the feature (meant to be free), outsourced it, slapped a price tag on it, and called it a day. The FAQ section notes that:
• Q/A is 10 times free use
• Watch Face is 20 times free use

And the cherry on top? Some users report even the “trial” doesn’t work. Peak Ximi moment. Also, for the voice recognition feature which later costs 4$/month, you need to speak slowly for better success rates.

Enjoy the ✨AI experience✨ – brought to you by a company that's, not.... Xiaomi.

Did you know HyperOS China now thinks you’re a bot?

You tap “Install APK” nine times today and suddenly the OS demands you solve a jigsaw puzzle to prove your humanity, because nothing screams “modern UX” like captcha-gating your users from app installations.

Your trusty Telegram? Nope, Risk verification first. Slide the puzzle piece into place, unlock the Narendra Modi tears, then maybe you’ll earn the right to install one more app.

All aboard the Quantum Install Blocker™, where your phone decides you’re too active, too curious, and definitely not a developer.

And people say China HyperOS bhai goated af.

Reports claim that Azerbaijan Technology is working to bypass this captcha through the use of LLM (Lotta Lil Moneys) technology.

Xiaomi India’s PR & Marketing Director Is Just as Delulu as Xiaomi Fans

Recently, on Twitter, a few users started talking about Xiaomi’s lack of new launches, for example no news of Xiaomi 15 Civi launch date in India yet and how the brand has been slacking in general. One guy even made a whole thread explaining why Xiaomi India is failing, pointing out issues like keeping better models China exclusive, awful after sales, midrangers like Redmi series offer inferior specs compared to competition, and so on. Others joined in, sharing their own thoughts and experiences, eventually making it a constructive criticism, not just random hate.

Now, Xiaomi India’s Associate Director of Marketing and PR responded, saying it must be a “coincidence” that every year around Xiaomi’s anniversary, people start posting negative things about the brand. He admitted that Xiaomi needs to improve, but he also claimed that some of the criticism seemed biased, calling it a "group work" — as if the users were all working together to bring the brand down. It honestly felt like he was deflecting the blame, saying the criticism wasn’t genuine but part of some coordinated attack. The truth is, people aren’t complaining because of Xiaomi’s anniversary as no one cares about it. They’re frustrated because of real issues the brand has been ignoring for a while.
