Here's when the Android 16-based Nothing OS 4.0 is coming
During yesterday's launch, Carl Pei, Founder and CEO of Nothing, revealed that Nothing OS 4.0, based on Android 16, is coming "later this autumn." It's safe to say that the Nothing Phone (3) will be the first in line to receive Nothing OS 4.0, with the rollout expanding to older models later.
The Nothing Phone (3) will be available for pre-order starting July 4, with sales commencing on July 15. The Phone (3)'s key highlights include the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, a 6.67" 120Hz 1,260p OLED screen, four 50MP cameras, and a 5,150 mAh battery (5,500 mAh in India).

Motorola's next big launch is set for next week
The Moto G96 is the next major device coming from Motorola. The US based company has just confirmed that the phone that we told you about last week will be officially introduced in India on July upcoming smartphone is Motorola's top-of-the-line Moto G series phone, which is mirrored in the device's specs. Just like many of Motorola's mid-range handsets, the Moto G96 offers fans the option to pick up a premium-like version that features a faux leather back panel. Now, Motorola hasn't yet revealed all the Moto G96's specs, but many of them are listed on the phone's dedicated page at Flipkart. For example, the US-based handset maker confirmed the phone's 6.67-inch curved pOLED display features 144Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. We also know the Moto G96 is powered by a mid-tier Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor. Motorola confirmed the Moto G96 packs 8 GB RAM and 256 GB internal memory. A cheaper version with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage will be available too. As far as the camera goes, the most important details revealed by Motorola include a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-700C sensor housed by the main camera, as well as a 32-megapixel selfie snapper. The phone has a dual camera, but there's no information about the second one. The best part is that the Moto G96 comes with a pretty decent 5,500 mAh battery, which promises up to 35 hours of talk time, 32 hours of video playback, or 119 hours of music. We were surprised to see that Motorola will only offer three years of security updates for the Moto G96. Although the US-based company typically offers two/three years of OS updates and three/four years of security updates, Motorola made some important steps toward increasing the software support period it offers to its first smartphone to receive five years of OS updates and five years of security patches, Moto Edge 50 Neo, was launched back in September, so we thought every other phone launched by Motorola will follow the new policy, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Motorola Moto G96 will be available in four Pantone colors | Image credit: Motorola Motorola is one of the very few companies that uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset, which means very little competition for the Moto G96. Unless you don't mind getting a similar mid-range phone but powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200/7300 processor, which nearly the same when it comes to are quite a few mid-range phones that match the description, such as the Motorola Edge 60 Fusion, Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro, Redmi Note 14 Pro, Infinix Note 50x, Nothing Phone (2a), and Motorola Edge 50 Neo. Even the Moto G86, one of the phones announced back in May and is expected to hit shelves in July, is using a MediaTek 7300 chipset. Basically, it all comes down to how much the Moto G96 will cost, something that we'll hopefully find out soon because Motorola is still mum on the matter.

Nothing Headphone (1) in for review
Even though the Nothing brand began its journey with mid-range phones, the company is quickly expanding its portfolio and now added its first over-ear headphones, which are anything but cheap. The Headphone (1) features an unorthodox design, comfy earpads and a set of premium features. The goal is to go head-to-head with the likes of Sony, Bose and Sennheiser. The headphones follow Nothing's transparent, techy design language and offer premium build quality. The design is definitely polarizing, but it's instantly recognizable and we feel this was always the goal. Nothing Headphone (1) One thing is for sure: we are fans of the hardware controls. They feel super convenient. The Headphone (1) has all the bells and whistles too. The pair features adaptive active noise cancellation. The 42dB ANC system is touted as a hybrid, relying on six microphones. The dynamic sound drivers are plenty big, measuring 40mm and are developed in collaboration with KEF. Support for the most common high-definition codecs like AAC, SBC and LDAC is available. Battery life is supposed to be 80 hours without ANC, which is outstanding, at least on paper. That's because they house a huge 1,040 mAh battery that charges over USB-C. There's also a 3.5mm audio jack if you prefer to go analogue. Nothing Headphone (1) Stay tuned for our full review where we dive deeper into all the features, design, sound quality and everyday use.

Foxconn, Apple's main manufacturing partner, has asked over 300 Chinese engineers and technicians to leave its factories in India, according to a Bloomberg report . The withdrawal began two months ago and could make Apple's efforts to expand in the country more difficult, especially with the iPhone 17 launch Foxconn nor Apple has explained the decision. However, it comes at a time when China is reportedly pressuring companies to limit the export of skilled labor and technology to other countries, including India. This could be part of a broader move to keep advanced manufacturing within China's engineers have played a key role in training Foxconn's Indian workforce and helping transfer production knowledge. Their sudden departure may slow that progress, increase costs, and affect how efficiently the assembly lines operate. One source noted that while quality should remain the same, productivity could take a only started assembling iPhones at a large scale four years ago, but the country now makes about 20 percent of Apple's global iPhone output. Apple has plans to produce most of the iPhones for the US market in India by late 2026. With China now making it harder for skilled workers to leave, that timeline may face delays.
