Before Nothing Phone 3 launch, Nothing gives its Google Photos alternative gallery app an AI makeover
Nothing Phone 3 is coming on July 1 and just before its high-profile global unveiling, Nothing has announced a major update for its in-house gallery app, jacking up its features to make it more relevant and useful for its growing fan-base. Though it will be available across all Nothing devices, the Phone 3 will possibly be the first to launch with the updated Nothing gallery app.The Nothing gallery app is a custom alternative to Google Photos that is available by default on all Android phones. It was first introduced late last year with the Nothing OS 3.0 update. Nothing usually does these things keeping its community in the loop and an in-house gallery app was a highly requested feature. Though, in the beginning, it was all bare bones with basic functionality leaving room for much, much more with future updates the first of which is now available for prime-time use.Co-founder and CEO Carl Pei took to X, the platform previously known as Twitter, to green light the update while revealing full details of what's in store for Nothing phone users. Right out of the gate, it is getting some high-level photo and video editing capabilities. Pei said, users can now 'fine-tune key image parametres' including contrast, white balance, tone curve, and more at full resolution with 'close to zero compression or quality loss.' He added that all processing will run locally on device with 'no cloud uploads, no forced accounts, no subscriptions,' highlighting privacy as a critical feature of the new app update.Nothing is also promising up to 25 percent faster performance while processing images. The time to switch from camera to gallery is also reduced by 20 percent, according to Pei, who added that this was the result of tight integration between its phone hardware and camera pipeline. Your interactions with the app will also be now backed by subtle haptic feedback for more precise and intuitive tuning and editing.Finally, the gallery app is also getting smarter with AI being able to categorise photos for a more unified visual experience. 'From typography to icons to motion, every element feels native to Nothing,' Pei noted.The Nothing gallery update is now available for Nothing phone users and the updated app is also available for download on the Google Play Store with Pei teasing, 'more exciting features are in the works.'- Ends

Cristiano Ronaldo extends Al Nassr contract with €550K a day mega deal
With the 40-year-old guaranteed to play till 42, this means that the fans' wish to see him don the Portugal shirt in the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 still has a very high possibility of happening. Shashwat Nishant New Delhi Cristiano Ronaldo has officially extended his stay with Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, the Portuguese icon and the club confirmed on Thursday. The new contract will keep the 40-year-old forward at the club until 2027. Ronaldo shared the news via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, writing: 'A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let's make history together.' The announcement puts to rest recent speculation surrounding his future, which intensified after a cryptic post at the conclusion of the 2024–25 season. That message had read: 'This chapter is over. The story? Still being written. Grateful to all.' Cristiano Ronaldo is staying at @AlNassrFC until 2027 ???????? — AlNassr FC (@AlNassrFC_EN) June 26, 2025 How much money will Ronaldo earn from his new contract? According to a report by Marca earlier this year, Cristiano Ronaldo's new contract with Al Nassr is estimated to be worth an astonishing €15 million per month. This breaks down to approximately €3.8 million per week or around €550,000 each day. The deal reflects Ronaldo's immense market value and global appeal, making him one of the highest-paid athletes in the world. His earnings continue to dominate headlines, highlighting the lucrative nature of his stay in Saudi Arabia. Since joining Al Nassr in 2022, the veteran striker has made 105 appearances in all competitions, scoring 93 goals and providing 19 assists. Despite his individual brilliance, he has yet to secure a Saudi league title with the club. In the latest campaign, Al Nassr finished third in the league standings, missing out on qualification for the AFC Champions League Elite. Instead, they will compete in the second-tier AFC Champions League 2 next season. Adding to the club's challenges, Al Nassr is currently without a head coach after Stefano Pioli departed earlier this week. Pioli became the third permanent manager to exit the club since Ronaldo's arrival. Ronaldo eyeing FIFA World Cup 2026 glory? On the international front, Ronaldo recently added to his trophy cabinet as Portugal lifted the UEFA Nations League title, defeating Spain in the final, marking his third international title with the national team. With the 40-year-old guaranteed to play till 42, this means that the fans' wish to see him don the Portugal shirt in the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 still has a very high possibility of happening. Winning another trophy with a dangerous Portugal side might have given Ronaldo and his manager Roberto Martinez hopes of having a frutiful campaign in USA next year.
