Nothing Phone 3 teardown reveals the guts of the year's oddest-looking smartphone

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The latest JerryRigEverything teardown looks into the durability and reparability of the Nothing Phone 3. Scratch resistance is nothing to write home about, but the phone withstands bending quite well. Getting the rear glass off looks a little challenging, but past that, disassembly goes quite smoothly. For all the complaints we tend to hear about modern phones not offering nearly enough variety, so far this year has brought us some pleasantly anomalous smartphone hardware. That's led to plenty of hemming and hawing over devices like the Galaxy S25 Edge and its decision to trade battery endurance for an exceptionally thin build, but maybe the single most controversial handset to launch across the first half of 2025 has been the positively odd-looking Nothing Phone 3. Curious how such an unusual design might ultimately impact things like build quality, durability, and reparability? Zack from JerryRigEverything is on the case, and his latest video breaks down what you can expect from Nothing's latest hardware We start off with some scratch testing and everything proceeds just as you'd expect for a phone with Gorilla Glass 7i — not the most resilient option, but able to avoid damage from objects with a Mohs hardness of 5 or below. The Phone 3's aluminum frame shows damage pretty plainly, but it's also strong enough to let the phone resist attempts to bend it in half. After spending a little time questioning Nothing's choice of USB support, we finally get to that busy back panel. The protruding camera rings are pretty solidly attached, and don't look like any are going to get knocked loose. Getting access to the Glyph Matrix takes a little more work, with the display protected under the Phone 3's rear glass. Prying that off takes a little work (and brings the camera rings with it) and as Zack starts digging deeper into the Phone 3's guts we start picking up some more insight into just how the unique Glyph Matrix system is put together — like how its capacitive input button routes communication down through the phone's charging board. Once you're past the glass, everything starts coming apart easily enough, albeit with a lot of screws in your way — some hidden under the phone's more decorative elements. Even the battery comes out without much of a fight. Everything even goes back together without too much trouble. Unfortunately, there's not really much more to spot when it comes to the Glyph Matrix, other than that it lives on its only little circular PCB. That said, we're still very happy to finally see this weird-looking hardware come apart, so we have a better understanding of how it all comes together. Got a tip? Talk to us!

ExxonMobil May Sell Singapore Fuel Retail Business in $1B Deal

Exxon Mobil Corporation XOM is in talks to divest its entire network of 59 gasoline stations in Singapore to Aster Chemicals and Energy, a joint venture between global commodities giant Glencore and Indonesia's Chandra Asri Group, according to a Bloomberg report. The deal, if finalized, could be valued at around $1 billion. A sale would mark a strategic shift for ExxonMobil, enabling it to redeploy capital toward higher-growth opportunities. The move aligns with CEO Darren Woods' broader strategy to streamline the company's downstream portfolio and concentrate on high-return investments, particularly in upstream oil and gas production and low-carbon initiatives. ExxonMobil has operated in Singapore for more than 130 years, primarily under the Esso brand. While the gas station divestiture would mark a significant change, the company maintains a sizable footprint in the city-state, including a refinery, chemical and lubricant manufacturing plants, a fuel terminal and an LPG bottling facility. According to the report, Aster Chemicals and Energy has been actively expanding its presence in Southeast Asia's energy sector. Its recent acquisitions include Shell's Singapore refining and chemicals assets, as well as Chevron Phillips Singapore Chemicals' polyethylene manufacturing facility on Jurong Island. Winning the bid for ExxonMobil's retail network would further consolidate Aster's position in the region's downstream market. Discussions are currently centered on finalizing the price and transaction structure. While no definitive agreement has been announced, the potential exit underscores ExxonMobil's global restructuring efforts and Aster's growing appetite for Southeast Asia's energy infrastructure. XOM currently carries a Zack Rank #3 (Hold). Investors interested in the energy sector may look at a few better-ranked stocks like The Williams Companies, Inc. WMB, W&T Offshore, Inc. WTI and Oceaneering International, Inc. OII, each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. Williams Companies' strong base business performance and strategic expansions, such as the $1.6 billion Socrates project, further boost its outlook. Additionally, Williams' increased dividend, robust pipeline, and favorable credit rating upgrade suggest a solid foundation for long-term growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for WMB's 2025 EPS is pegged at $2.11. W&T Offshore benefits from its prolific Gulf of America assets, which offer low decline rates, strong permeability and significant untapped reserves. The company's acquisition of six shallow-water fields in the GoA added 18.7 million barrels of proved reserves and 60.6 million barrels of proved plus probable reserves. The firm is focused on strategically allocating capital toward organic projects, which should boost its production outlook. WTI has a Value Score of B. Oceaneering International delivers integrated technology solutions across all stages of the offshore oilfield lifecycle. With a geographically diverse asset portfolio and a balanced revenue mix between domestic and international operations, the company effectively mitigates risk. As a leading provider of offshore equipment and technology solutions to the energy sector, OII benefits from strong relationships with top-tier customers, ensuring revenue visibility and business stability. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for OII's 2025 EPS is pegged at $1.79. The company has a Value Score of B. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

BP's $8 Billion Castrol Sale Draws Bid From Firm Tied to Chairman

BP plc's BP planned sale of its Castrol lubricants business, valued at around $8 billion, is drawing interest from a range of high-profile bidders, including private equity giant Clayton Dubilier & Rice (CD&R), according to a report from Sky News. The bid by CD&R is particularly notable because BP's current chairman, Helge Lund, serves as an operating advisor to the firm. While insiders told Sky News that Lund has no involvement in CD&R's interest in Castrol, the connection adds an unusual dimension to the unfolding transaction. Lund is set to step down as its chairman within the next year and the company is actively seeking a successor. Notably, Sky News recently reported that both Sam Laidlaw (former Centrica CEO) and Ken MacKenzie (ex-BHP chair) were considered for the role but have withdrawn from the selection process. The auction for Castrol began earlier this year as BP continues to navigate a challenging strategic landscape. Other reported bidders for the lubricants unit include Apollo Global Management, Lone Star Funds and India's Reliance Industries, per Bloomberg News. These suitors reflect a mix of global strategic and financial players vying for a stake in one of the oil major's longest-standing divisions. Castrol, known worldwide for its motor oils and industrial lubricants, has long been a profitable yet non-core asset for BP. The decision to divest comes as the company faces mounting pressure from activist investor Elliott Management, which is calling for cost cuts and improved returns. These internal demands, coupled with market speculation, have intensified scrutiny on BP's direction. Just last week, London-listed rival Shell publicly denied a Wall Street Journal report claiming early-stage acquisition talks with BP. Although Shell dismissed the rumor, the episode reinforced BP's current vulnerability and its perception as a potential takeover target. CD&R's interest in Castrol aligns with its growing footprint in the United Kingdom. The firm already owns the Morrisons supermarket chain and Motor Fuel Group, a major fuel retailer. If successful, a Castrol acquisition would mark a significant expansion of its energy-adjacent portfolio. A spokesperson for CD&R declined to comment and BP has not yet responded publicly regarding the ongoing auction process. BP currently carries a Zack Rank #3 (Hold). Investors interested in the energy sector may look at a few better-ranked stocks like EQT Corporation EQT, W&T Offshore, Inc. WTI and Oceaneering International, Inc. OII. EQT Corporation, W&T Offshore and Oceaneering International carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) each. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. As the largest natural gas producer in the United States, EQT Corp is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for clean energy. With numerous premium natural gas drilling locations in the core Appalachian Basin, the company's production outlook is solid. The firm aims for net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions from operations by 2025, underscoring its commitment to sustainability. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EQT's 2025 EPS is pegged at $3.56. The company has a Growth Score of B. W&T Offshore benefits from its prolific Gulf of America assets, which offer low decline rates, strong permeability and significant untapped reserves. The company's acquisition of six shallow-water fields in the GoA added 18.7 million barrels of proved reserves and 60.6 million barrels of proved plus probable reserves.
