Nothing Phone 3 battery, charging specs leak, and it beats the S25 Ultra
TL;DR The Nothing Phone 3 has surfaced via a regulatory filing.
The filing reveals the phone's battery capacity, charging speed, and a couple of other details.
Nothing's new handset will launch on July 1.
The Nothing Phone 3 launches next week, and we already have a good idea of what to expect thanks to leaks and official disclosures. Now, a regulatory filing has revealed pleny of details about the new phone.
The Tech Outlook spotted an FCC filing for the Nothing Phone 3, featuring the model number A024. We were able to source and corroborate the filing, and it indeed reveals a few details about the handset. For starters, the e-label confirms that this is indeed the Nothing Phone 3. The listing also mentions a 5,150mAh battery several times, which would be 300mAh larger than the Nothing Phone 2's rated capacity. It would also be slightly larger than the Galaxy S25 Ultra (5,000mAh), but lag behind the likes of the OnePlus 13 (6,000mAh).
The listing also mentions 65W charging support, which contradicts a previous rumor that pointed to 100W support. This would nevertheless be a welcome improvement over Samsung's Galaxy S25 series and the Nothing Phone 2 (45W). Other details gleaned from the filing include Nothing OS 3.3 and a metal frame.
Finally, the Nothing Phone 3 FCC filing also includes a regulatory label that mentions specific markets. The label specifically mentions Australia/New Zealand, Canada, the EU (including France), Japan, Taiwan, and the US. This isn't a guarantee that the phone will launch in all these locales, but it certainly gives us a good idea of what to expect.
This regulatory disclosure comes after Nothing confirmed that its new phone would be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip. Our own testing with the POCO F7 reveals that this chip lacks the peak performance of even last year's Snapdragon flagship phones, but is able to beat at least some of these phones during sustained workloads.
Nothing also announced that the Phone 3 lacks the company's Glyph lighting system. However, teases and leaks suggest that the phone could have a dot matrix-style lighting system on the back.

iPhone users on Google Fi will now get all their voicemails in the Phone app
Google is making a big change to how Fi users on iPhone access their voicemails: instead of getting voicemails from a dedicated tab in the Fi app, iPhone users will be able to get them right from the native iOS Phone app instead. The change started rolling out on Tuesday and will be fully rolled out by July 2nd, the Fi team says in a support forum post. In August, Google plans to phase out voicemail in the iOS Google Fi app. 'If you have voicemails you want to keep, you must download them using Google Takeout before August 13th,' the team says in its post. 'After this date, they will no longer be available in the Google Fi app.' If you use Google Fi and have an iPhone, you may have seen some voicemails show up in the iOS Phone app before this announcement. But that has only happened under a specific set of circumstances. If a user had iOS's Live Voicemail feature turned on, your phone was turned on, and you were within Google Fi's service area when getting a voicemail, that voicemail would be delivered to the iPhone's Phone app, Google's Patrick Seybold tells The Verge. After this update has rolled out to you, all voicemails will show up in the iPhone's Phone app. Google teased in April that this change was in the works. At that time, Google also announced a more affordable Google Fi Unlimited Essentials plan that costs $35 per month.

Want to Buy a New iPhone? You Should Probably Wait, and Here's Why
If you're ready to upgrade your iPhone, you might want to hang tight. Apple tends to unveil its new phones in September, as it did last year with the iPhone 16 lineup. It's expected to release the iPhone 17 series at the same time this year. So, if you can wait a couple more months, you'll either score the latest device or get a discount on previous models. Watch this: Hey, Apple: Steal These S25 Edge Features for a Skinny iPhone 04:33 Newer iPhones tend to include camera and processor upgrades, as well as new features to make them more enticing. For instance, the iPhone 14 Pro models introduced Dynamic Island, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max debuted the Action button, and the iPhone 16 series added the Camera Control button and Apple Intelligence across the full lineup, rather than on just the Pro models. According to leaks and reports, the iPhone 17 lineup, which Apple technically has yet to confirm, could have a fresh camera setup and new color options and, perhaps most notably, could include a slimmer version of the iPhone to compete with similar offerings like Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge. It'll likely arrive with the just-announced iOS 26, which features Apple's biggest software design shakeup in over a decade. You can check out our iPhone 17 rumor roundup for more on what might be coming in the fall. Will waiting for the iPhone 17 be worth it? Overall, iPhone upgrades over the last several years have been relatively modest. And it's likely, based on rumors, that the iPhone 17 lineup will generally follow that mold. But even with more moderate changes, now's not a good time to buy a new iPhone, if you can help it. We're just about four months away from the anticipated launch of Apple's next smartphone. So if you hold on a little longer, you can snag that flashy new device when it drops, likely in September, based on previous iPhone launches. If you buy a new iPhone 16 now, you'll probably pay full price for something that in just a few months' time will technically be outdated (the harsh reality of the annual phone release cycle). And even if you get a good deal through your carrier now, if you stick it out just a bit longer, you could potentially get an even more lucrative deal once the iPhone 17 drops and carriers ramp up their promotions. If anything, waiting to see what the iPhone 17 has in store could at least help you confirm whether going with the newest device or an older one like the iPhone 16 or 15 is worth it. After all, if the differences are minimal, you might as well save a couple of hundred dollars by choosing a previous model. And chances are -- if the iPhone 17 is anything like the last several iPhones -- no one will even be able to tell. But what about tariffs? One big unknown is whether tariffs will affect the price of the iPhone 17, which could sway your purchasing decisions. While smartphones and computers were given an exemption from President Donald Trump's more extensive tariffs, he recently said Apple will still have to pay a 25% tariff on iPhones made outside the US. This would almost certainly lead to a price hike. But even without tariffs, the iPhone is due for a markup, according to CNET's Patrick Holland. "The iPhone hasn't had a price hike in five years and is due for one," he writes. "Historically, that's the longest stretch of time the company has gone without an increase." (You can check out more of his thoughts here.) So, is it still worth waiting for the iPhone 17? It depends. If you were already planning on purchasing a new iPhone and can't wait much longer, I can understand panic-buying now. But bear in mind you'll still likely pay full price for an iPhone 16 model that will be worth less the moment the iPhone 17 drops. So, you might be coughing up more for an iPhone 17, but at least you'll get more bang for your buck. So, when's the best time to buy a new iPhone? There's not necessarily a "best" time to buy a new iPhone, since prices are pretty consistent throughout the year, but the fall is an enticing option. That's when Apple introduces its latest slate of iPhones, and when carriers are eager to attract new customers and lure in business with abundant trade-in deals and promotions. And again, even if you don't want the latest and greatest iPhone, you can at least snag an older version at a discount right after the iPhone 17 drops. In general, we recommend upgrading to a new phone if your existing one is more than two generations old. You can typically wring more life out of your device, but if you want to stay on top of the latest features like Apple Intelligence, leveling up is the way to go. And with just a few more months left before the anticipated drop of the iPhone 17, you might as well see what fresh capabilities Apple's got up its sleeve.

Ring's descriptive alerts take the guesswork out of checking your camera feed
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Ring is rolling out AI-powered Video Descriptions that summarize camera footage in plain text. The feature helps users quickly distinguish urgent events from routine activity. It's currently in beta for Ring Home Premium users in the US and Canada. Smart home cameras have long sent vague alerts, which can be a double-edged sword. You want to know what's happening on your property, but it can be stressful to get the notification only to realize on playback that it was clearly a false alarm. Ring's latest update aims to make those notifications more specific, describing what your camera sees. Ring founder Jamie Siminoff announced the new Ring Video Descriptions in an Amazon post. Powered by generative AI, they're now rolling out in beta for Ring Home Premium subscribers in the US and Canada. Instead of generic motion alerts, users will now see short text summaries of what their cameras actually capture, such as 'a person is walking up the steps with a black dog' or 'two people are peering into a white car in the driveway.' Siminoff says the goal is to help users quickly distinguish between urgent and everyday activities with just a glance at their phone. These summaries focus only on the main subject triggering the alert and are designed to be concise enough for instant recognition. The new feature is part of Ring's broader AI push. Alongside Video Descriptions, the company says it's working on intelligent alerts that merge multiple motion events into one summary and 'custom anomaly alerts' that only notify you when something unusual happens based on your home's routine behavior. Ring isn't the first brand to roll out AI-generated camera summaries. For example, Google added similar Gemini-powered descriptions and smart search features to its Nest cameras last year. Got a tip?
