Nothing Phone 3 could ditch the iconic glyph interface
London-based smartphone maker Nothing on Thursday (May 29, 2025) hinted that its next flagship smartphone Phone 3 may not have the glyph interface. Nothing introduced the glyph lighting system at the back of the phone with the Phone 1 launched in 2022 and that's what differentiated it from the competition apart from having a transparent design.
On Thursday, Nothing shared on X (formerly Twitter), 'We killed the Glyph Interface.'
The glyph was used to notify charging status, Uber's arrival or food aggregator's location, notifications, calls and much more.
If they actually mean it then Nothing Phone 3, which is scheduled for launch in July 2025, might not have the glyph features and could be compensated with something else, possibly a dot matrix design.

Phone 3 it will be 'Nothing's first true flagship smartphone — built with premium materials, major performance upgrades, and software that genuinely levels things up.'
Phone 3 is likely to run Snapdragon 8 Elite processor accompanied by up to 12 GB RAM and 512 GB storage. A 5,000 mAh battery is also expected in Phone 3.
A 50 MP triple rear camera set up can be a possibility in Phone 3 along with a 32 MP selfie camera. The rear is more likely to have a dedicated telephoto lens.
Phone 3 could also use a 6.78 inch of flexible LTPO AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits.

Intel's top strategy officer to depart this month
Intel's top strategy executive, Safroadu Yeboah-Amankwah, is departing the company, the latest change since Lip-Bu Tan took the chipmaker's helm in March, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. Intel confirmed the departure, saying, "We are grateful for Saf's contributions to Intel and wish him the best." Yeboah-Amankwah, who has served as Intel's chief strategy officer since 2020, is leaving on June 30, said the two people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Yeboah-Amankwah has overseen growth initiatives, strategic partnerships and equity investments for Intel, among other responsibilities. Some of Yeboah-Amankwah's strategy functions will now fall to Sachin Katti, whom Intel recently elevated to chief technology and AI officer. Intel Capital, the company's venture arm, is reporting up to Tan, said one of the two people and a third source briefed on the matter. Tan is a prolific investor and founded San Francisco-based venture capital firm Walden International in 1987. As Intel's CEO, Tan so far has flattened the semiconductor giant's leadership team and taken direct oversight of its important data center and AI chip group, plus its personal-computer chip group. He has brought in new engineering leaders. He has also aimed to cut what he viewed as Intel's bloated, slow-moving middle-management layer. Tan's moves follow years of manufacturing challenges at Intel and lost opportunity for mobile phone and AI chips. His predecessor, Pat Gelsinger, attempted an ambitious turnaround though he compounded some of Intel's problems, Reuters previously reported. Intel reported an annual net loss attributable to the company - its first since 1986 - of $18.8 billion in 2024.

Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu stresses AI's role in preventing crimes
VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu underscored the vital role of technology in ensuring law and order, stating that peace and security are essential for investment and development. Speaking after inaugurating the 'AI 4 Andhra Police Hackathon' in Guntur on Friday, he urged the police to fully adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced tools for crime prevention and investigation. 'A State can prosper only when law and order are firmly under control. Technology must become a driving force in policing, making Andhra Pradesh a model for crime-free governance,' Naidu affirmed. The AI hackathon, jointly organised by the State police and four US-based AI firms, saw participation from over 160 teams focusing on AI solutions for policing. On the occasion, Naidu interacted with participants and stressed the need for technology-driven, data-backed policing, moving beyond traditional methods. 'We have introduced WhatsApp Governance for citizen services and are expanding CCTV and drone surveillance across the State,' he said, adding, 'The days of relying solely on traditional policing methods are over. It is encouraging to see AP Police recognising the importance of technology and organising this innovative event.' Pointing to the former minister YS Vivekananda Reddy murder case, Naidu said, 'There were many baseless allegations against me in connection with the case. I was targeted with defamatory slogans like 'blood history'. However, the truth came out through scientific investigation and digital tools like Google Takeout, used effectively by the CBI.' Issuing a warning to criminal elements, Naidu stated, 'Those involved in rowdyism, ganja trade, and crimes against women can expect the hammer to come down hard, with technology providing irrefutable evidence.' He further stated that his government will always encourage young people to join the technological revolution. 'Earlier, we promoted IT in Andhra Pradesh. Now, we are preparing to showcase Telugu talent globally through the upcoming Quantum Valley project. Just like the United States has Silicon Valley, Andhra Pradesh will soon be home to Quantum Valley. The world today demands: work locally, think globally, act globally. This is the direction we are moving towards,' Naidu stated. Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communication Dr Pemmasani Chandrasekhar, Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha, and Director General of Police (DGP) Harish Kumar Gupta were also present at the event.
