Nothing Says Phone 3 Will Not Come With Glyph Interface: What Happens Now?
Last Updated: Nothing Phone 3 launch in July has already got people excited but a new update from the company brings more questions about the flagship model. Nothing Phone 3 launch is confirmed for June and it will be a flagship phone. Now, the company has shared an intriguing teaser which talks about removing one of the iconic highlights of a Nothing phone. Phone 3 will take the company to a territory not only because of its price tag but also because Nothing might ditch the Glyph interface for its flagship device. Nothing has offered this update with a post on X this week, where the company's CEO Carl Pei replied with 'RIP'. Glyph Gone, What Next? It might be a bit premature to talk about Nothing removing the Glyph interface, something that the brand has offered on all the Nothing Phone models since the first version. Phone 3 is undoubtedly going to play on a higher table which suggests adding these features, and then offer premium hardware along with a camera could really push the brand to increase the price of the Phone 3. advetisement If Nothing does feel that removing the Glyph will allow the hardware and camera to be high-end, most people might actually be on board with the idea. Some people might say that Nothing Phones have differentiated with their transparent design and the Glyph lights. It will be intriguing to see how Nothing plans to replace the interface and if so, do we also see the end of the popular transparent look from this year? We'll get all these answers in the build up to the Phone 3 launch in July. The Phone 3 will be Nothing's fourth phone to launch in the market in 2025, and its first flagship device after giving it a miss in 2024. The new leaks will surely excite people about the upcoming Nothing phone and what it promises in terms of features and other specs. The device is likely to sport a 6.77-inch AMOLED display with adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. We are keen to see the camera setup on the Phone 3 which should be revealed soon. Nothing Phone 3 is expected to cost EUR 800 which could be anywhere between Rs 70,000 and Rs 80,000 in the Indian market. First Published: May 30, 2025, 08:40 IST

U.S. FTC backs DOJ proposal in Google search antitrust case
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the de-facto federal privacy regulator, said on Friday that the U.S. Department of Justice's proposal to make Alphabet's Google share search data with competitors includes adequate safeguards to protect users' privacy. The proposal is part of a range of measures the DOJ says are necessary to open up the online search market, after ruling in August that the tech titan holds an illegal monopoly. The Washington judge overseeing the case has seen a flood of input from experts and interest groups for and against the DOJ's proposals as the trial nears its end this month. The case could fundamentally reshape the internet by potentially unseating Google as the go-to portal for information online. Increasing competition will put more pressure on Google to improve its privacy practices, the FTC said. Google has sought to block the DOJ's data-sharing proposal, which its CEO Sundar Pichai said would give away the company's intellectual property, in part by arguing that it would harm user privacy. The FTC said the proposal would appoint a committee to oversee compliance, similar to the agency's privacy-related settlements. The DOJ and state attorneys general are also asking the judge to make Google sell off its Chrome browser and cease multi-billion dollar payments to Apple and other companies that set Google as the default search engine on new devices. Google has said making its agreements non-exclusive, as it has already begun to do, is the right approach. The DOJ and state attorneys general have expressed concerns that Google could extend its dominance to AI. AI startup and Google partner Anthropic said in court papers on Friday that requiring Google to give the DOJ advance notice of its proposed AI investments and partnerships would create a "significant disincentive" for Google to invest in smaller AI companies and likely deter such investments altogether. Google holds a minority stake worth billions of dollars in Anthropic. Anthropic argued the proposal "would harm, not benefit, AI competition."

Without Elon Musk, DOGE likely to fizzle out, says ex-staffer
Without billionaire Elon Musk in the Trump administration , his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency project is likely to sputter out, a former DOGE staffer said in his first interview since leaving the team. Tesla CEO Musk announced on Wednesday evening that he was ending his time as a special government employee but vowed that DOGE would continue without him. Administration media representatives also said in statements to Reuters that DOGE would continue its work. DOGE has overseen job cuts at nearly every federal agency as part of U.S. President Donald Trump 's attempts to shake up the federal bureaucracy. However, software engineer Sahil Lavingia, who spent almost two months working for the group of pro-Musk technologists, said he expects DOGE to quickly "fizzle out." "It'll just die a whimper," Lavingia, who was fired from DOGE earlier this month, told Reuters. "So much of the appeal and allure was Elon." He said he expected DOGE staffers to "just stop showing up to work. It's like kids joining a startup that will go out of business in four months." Live Events That would cap a remarkable undoing for DOGE, which Musk initially vowed would cut $2 trillion in federal spending. Instead, DOGE estimates its efforts have saved around $175 billion so far and the group's tallies have been riddled with errors. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories The White House praised DOGE but did not comment on Lavingia. "DOGE is integral to the federal government's operations, and its mission, as established by the President's executive order, will continue under the direction of agency and department heads in the Trump administration," White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said. Musk did not respond to a request for comment. Lavingia, the 32-year-old founder and CEO of creator platform Gumroad, said he was recruited by DOGE through a personal contact and joined the team in March. While he said he was proud of certain achievements at the Department of Veterans Affairs, including modernizing the agency's internal artificial-intelligence chatbot, he said he was often at a loss about what work he was expected to do. "I got dropped into the VA with an HP laptop. What are we supposed to do? What is the road map?" Lavingia said he asked, to no avail. "I felt like I was being pranked." Veterans Affairs press secretary Pete Kasperowicz said in a statement to Reuters: "VA looks forward to continuing to work with its DOGE liaisons to help the department improve its performance, customer service, and convenience to Veterans." Lavingia said Steve Davis, the president of Musk's tunneling enterprise the Boring Company, ran day-to-day operations while Turkish-born venture capitalist Baris Akis helped with DOGE recruitment and DOGE logistics. Davis and Akis did not respond to requests for comment sent via the White House. When instructions did come through, they were usually communicated through phone calls or small chats on the encrypted Signal messaging app that would typically auto-delete in one day, Lavingia said. Lavingia said instructions included moving faster to increase mass layoffs at the VA, the federal government's second-largest agency. The only time he met Musk, Lavingia said, was at an all-hands meeting in March with what he estimated was between 40 and 60 fellow DOGE staffers. Lavingia said he asked to open-source, or make freely available, some of his computer code, which Musk approved. He then asked if they could livestream DOGE meetings to increase transparency. "Elon said: 'That's a great idea. We'll do it next week.' He then caught himself and said: 'Maybe we pre-record it because of security risks.'" Lavingia said he never heard back. In early May, after he spoke to media outlet Fast Company about working at DOGE, Lavingia said his computer access was revoked in what amounted to a firing. He said Musk and team leaders never explicitly told him he should not talk to journalists. "My DOGE days were over," Lavingia wrote in a blog about his experience.
