I have tried the new Android design 16. If this is what awaits the Google system … that they have my sword

by

Yesterday was one of those days that are marked forever in the technological calendar. We may not be aware of the impact that everything presented yesterday will have, but Google marked a before and after not only in the future of Gemini and Android, but in how we relate to consumer electronics. While showing us how they will work Android XR glassesthe Project Beam holographic callsand the Ai mode in the searchThe company launched one of Android’s greatest resideños to date. The Google Pixel selectable can already enjoy Android 16 With this change in design, and we have tried it. The launcher. He launcher It is one of Android’s most iconic parts and, and Google never dares to change it too much. It remains almost equal to what we had seen so far, with some small aesthetic change in the search, voice and icons Google Lens of the application drawer. The notification bar. Android (at least in Google’s native interpretation) does not give up to the iPhone control center, unlike the rest of customization layers. We continue to have a quick access bar above and, just below, notifications. This panel has completely redesigned: we have new icons, new easier design and access to the notification history and the notification configuration menu. And yes, the mythical battery icon is now horizontal, Android has lost one of its greatest hallmarks and now looks more like iOS. Android 16 does a better job with complementary colors. The color palette. Something that can be seen instantly with Material 3 It is a better integration of automatic issues. From the arrival of Youthe Android color palette adapts to the colors of the wallpaper. With Android 16 this remains so, but integration is even deeper and (to taste a server) more aesthetically. The icons, the transparency of the notification bar … absolutely all the elements of the system mix the colors of the Wallpaper so that everything looks good. The multitasking. At least in this beta, it is much easier to interact with the apps that we have in Multitasa. We continue without having the button to remove all the apps in an accessible way, but there are interesting options. We can quickly select the contents of an app in multitasking without even having it open in the foreground. We go to multitasking, click the image button, and we will have quick access to Google Lens, copy, share and save. We can also capture screen or select some concrete area of ​​the app. In the drop -down, we have the divided screen options, pause the app, the app, capture, select or close. The adjustments. This is, by far, the point that I liked of Android 16 and Material 3. I cross my fingers to be just a matter of beta and that there are changes in the final version. The adjustments are worse about what we had previously, going fast and at the foot. Even having tried this beta in a Pixel 9 Pro, everything is too compacted and small. It is difficult to distinguish between the sub -rush, and it becomes quite tedious to find adjustments that we saw before with the naked eye. Nor does I fall in love with the design too much. Now it is simpler and more minimalist, but there is neither a especially clear order, nor has it taken too careful at aesthetic level. The best is missing, apps. I have stayed with the desire to try one of the reasons for being of the new version of material 3: apps. This redesign makes sense when apps adapt to it, both aesthetic and functionalities. Live activities are not available in this beta, and there is still work to do. Be that as it may, this new version is good news. Android is more consistent than ever at the aesthetic level (waiting to see how they solve the design of the adjustments), and prepares For a revolution by Gemini. It will not be the one who stays outside this ship. Image | Xataka In Xataka | Google has put a price on the future of AI: $ 250 per month

How to try the new material 3 Expressive design of your Android on your pixel mobile

by

Let’s explain How to try the new Android designa Material 3 Expressive That you can start trying on Google Pixel mobiles. This is the most important Android redesign of recent years, in which aspects such as typefaces, colors, icons, spaced or buttons styles change. This design is available in the Beta 1 update of Android 16, which is now available for mobiles manufactured by Google from the Pixel 6 family. The previous versions, unfortunately, will not be able to update. Update QPR1 Beta 1 with material 3 To be able to try material 3 on your pixel, you first have to register your mobile in the betas of Android. For that, you have to enter the web Google.com/android/betaand go down to the section of Devices suitable for the program. Once inside, click on the button + Participate of the mobile in which you want to install it. Once you do this, you have to enter the pixel settings that you have registered. Once inside, click on the section of Systemand Enter the section Software updates that you will have almost down at all. Here, now you just have search for operating system updates So that the beta appears. When you update it, the mobile will restart, and when you do it This beta will already have Material 3 Expressivethat is, the changes will be notable. The update may take a long time, even more than an hour, depending on the speed of your connection. It is recommended that you do it at a time that you have time. I also recommend you not to install it on your main mobile, since Beta versions can have many errorsbe unstable and have an excessive battery consumption.

What is, novelties of this design language and when it will arrive in Android

by

Let’s explain What is Material 3 Expressiveand what are the keys to this design language. This is a great novelty presented by Google on May 13, and which seeks to completely renew the Android design. We are going to try to explain this so that you understand it, both what a design language is and the particularities of this in particular. Then, we will also tell you the main novelties and when it will begin to reach the Android mobiles. What is Material 3 Expressive Material 3 Expressive is the new visual or design language that will reach Android from Android 16. A design language is A set of visual rules which are used for the appearance of an operating system or application to be consistent and recognizable. Types, colors, icons, spaced or buttons styles and menus are established so that everyone uses them, and thus have a cohesive appearance. Come on, that the operating system will be seen with all the elements using the same design, but also many applications will adopt it so that they look more integrated, such as forming more part of the whole set. Google launched Material Design in 2014 as a visual language with which to unify all its platforms on all screens: both mobiles and tablets, PCs with chrome OS, watches and others would have a unified appearance. Google apps also adopted it, as well as many third parties, so that everything looks the same. Then came You in 2022, and Material 3 Expressive is the third step In this journey. He will first arrive at the Pixel, and then he will see to what extent other manufacturers are adopted In your customization layers. This remains to be seen because when Xiaomi or Samsung use a layer of their own customization on Android, they want it to be recognizable, so they modify the design language to use their own. This can be close or remote to the one who uses Android by default depending on each manufacturer. MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS 3 EXPRESSIVE Android currently has an interface with a careful and elegant design, and many applications have been adopting. But I was already playing a change that renews it completely, and Material 3 Expressive arrives to have its own identity and differentiated from what we had so far. It is a radical change, a completely notable change. This new design language is even more casual than the previous one, more rounded and visual, playful, and is also customizable and complete. You will still More colored palettes and a redesign in key aspects such as the notification panel or the status bar. The Android pitcher is the one that will almost have no modifications, with the search bar below and total freedom to place the icons where always. Yes indeed, The widgets have been redesignedso when you want to start putting some you will see the differences. Where are you going to see more changes is in animations, interactions with quick buttons or adjustmentsand even in transparencies or colors, which now adapt to dynamic color. They are also added thematized icons such as the ones we have been watching in the Pixel for a while, and the APRA space is used to be better better than the information is clearer. Another novelty is the arrival of live activities, the same as those of the iPhone, and that reach Android with this customization layer so that apps can show information in real time. This will make when you do something like asking for food at home, you can see a window where you can see live how this task is and where the delivery man is. And so with other applications such as flights or even Google Maps. Android native applications have also been redesigned to adopt this design in their menus and its appearance. But the main change is in the menus, with improved fluency, new buttons and largest and larger colors. Anyway, you can see it in the video above. Material 3 It will also get to Wearosthe operating system for smart watches in Google, in order to have a cohesive ecosystem. It will also reach Android XR and partially to Android Auto. The idea is that All Android -based products have itand so that an ecosystem can be achieved with this new design. When Material 3 Expressive arrives This new design will arrive next to Android 16the new version of the operating system that will begin to deploy in the second half of theño. Therefore, when this new version of Android arrives, the new design language will be one of its main novelties. But when the time comes, the time it takes to have Android 16 It will depend on each manufacturer and of your mobile model. Google Pixel mobiles will be the first to receive it, and then it will gradually reach others. And here, each manufacturer will decide if he adopts this design style or if he maintains the own he is using now.

The Chinese brands promised them very happy plagiarizing the design of the Vespa. They ran into a problem: it’s “art”

by

There are many copies of motorcycles. And even more with the Arrival of Chinese motorcycles to the market. In fact, there are European manufacturers allowing the Chinese to copy their design to continue earning money: It is a long history. But there is a manufacturer whose design is specially protected: we talk about Vespa. A motorcycle with copyright. Every vehicle manufactured and registered in the EU enjoys 25 years of protection for its design. If you want to go further, you have to register it as creative and artistic work. This is the case of Vespawho enjoys 70 years of author protection since the death of his creator, Corradino d’A Ascanio. This happened in 1981, so the VESPA design is protected until 2051. It is recognized as a work of art, and in case of plagiarism it can be fought before justice, as explained in Motorpasion. It is just what happened, with a bad start. In 2014, Vespa denounced before European justice a Plagiarism committed by Zhejianga Chinese manufacturer who claimed as his the design of a clonic scooter to spring 125. Four years later, in 2019, the General Court of the European Union determined that the intellectual property rights of Piaggio (brand after Vespa) had not been violated on this scooter, and dismissed the appeal. “Since the relevant public that can buy lifts has a high level of attention, it will consider that the style, lines and appearance that characterize the vespa lx sterine are different, from the visual point of view, of those of the Zhejiang lift. Due to the different impressions that the two struts produce, there is no risk of confusion by the relevant public.” According to The initial resolutionthe Intellectual Property Office of the European Union (EUIPO) failed in favor of a Chinese manufacturer who was clearly copying the design of the original VESPA. A subjective interpretation. The Vespa case is governed by European Copyright Lawwhich protects the designs during the aforementioned 25 years, and for the protection of intellectual property of up to 70 years for the creation of original work. One of the main problems of this law is that, in the case of vehicles, there is no absolute framework that supports the possible plagiarism. Everything falls to the Court’s own interpretation, which will determine or not whether there has been an infraction or not of the law. The pillars in which the Industrial Property Code They are the novelty, the creative character and artistic value, elements with an very high subjective load. But he who follows her, gets her. Vespa did not give up the evidence that a Chinese brand were plagiarizing its design. Piaggio resorted to the Court’s decision and, four years later, he got the authority determine that Vespa’s pattern is “unmistakable and cannot be replicated”revoking your previous decision. Image: Motorpasion It is not Vespa’s first legal battle. Already in 2020, in full legal battle against Zhejiang, Grupo Piaggio denounced one of the brands that presumed in the eicma of Milan of their new scooters. One among which was A practically identical model to spring 125. The bikes ended up being removed from the stands of the manufacturers, and not to say that their sale in Europe is completely prohibited. So far, anyone who has dared to copy Vespa, has ended his scooter outside the market. Not the only work of art. Piaggio is the only manufacturer that registered Vespa as the work of art, but in the automobile world there have been some cases. The Porsche 911 is one of themdefending its iconic form in multiple judgments. Other iconic models, such as Ferrari 250 Gtothey were also considered as a work of art after legally facing Ares Desingcompany that wanted to market a model replica. Despite the protection granted by the vehicle as a work of art, this is not a common practice in the automobile world, even in the luxury vehicle. Replicas are still alive. Although legally the Vespa cannot be copied, its design continues to “inspire” numerous brands. Among them, the Spanish Velca. Beyond the similarity in the name, the manufacturer is expanding in Spain with scooters that inevitably remember Vespa. It is not its own design, it comes from China, and is shared with many other brands. Another separate issue is that Piaggio did not want to face the numerous replicas that continue to exist in the market. Who wants a Land Rover … having a Land Wind. Reasonable similarities. Beyond engaging in judgments whose resolution nobody ensures (of not having claimed, Vespa would continue with their clones more alive than ever at the beginning), manufacturers can do little about copies. In the world of the car, Chinese copies are the order of the day, and In most cases nothing happens. In the most rocambolesque cases, such as MV Augusta (one of the most exclusive luxury manufacturers of motorcycles), have come to ally with Chinese giants like QJ Motors to create replicas of the original models. Reason? Al become Chinese manufacturers, let them sell a cheaper substitute and collect benefits.

We take more and more mercury through fish. There are those who want to solve it with “design” probiotics

by

The presence of mercury in fish (or in some fish) is A growing problem in the field of food security. Prolonged exposure to this pollutant is an important risk to people’s health, a risk that could go worse in the coming years. Detox, but real. A team of researchers has manipulated a bacterium present in the digestive system of humans to do it Able to eliminate methylmercury present in fish. In a study with mice, the mechanism allowed this toxin to reach other organs of the animal, such as brain or liver. An increasing problem. He methylmercury It is a cation, a molecule with a positive charge, which gives its name to a series of compounds that integrate this form of mercury. Methylmercurio is also the most common way in which we can find organic mercury naturally. Mercury in its different forms is a pollutant present not only in some pesticides but also in Gas emissions to the atmosphere. These mercury residues end up arriving at the sea and the trophic chain, a process called “biomagnification.” This heavy metal tends to accumulate more in larger fish and in those closest to the cusp of the “food pyramid.” And from there, to our kitchens. Design bacteria. The work It started from a known bacterium and abundant in our digestive system, Thetaiotaomicron bacteroids. It inserted coding DNA enzymes from another known bacterium present in the soil, a bacterium with a determining feature, its resistance to mercury. Probiotics The team first checked In vitro that these bacteria had managed to become resistant to methylmercury, and then administer bacteria to mice. These soon were integrated into the digestive system of mammals, which was administered orally to study the impact. The team first analyzed the effect of The administration of a large amount of this compound. They found that in the mice to whom the new bacterium had been administered, the mercury began to disappear shortly after its administration, a purification process that lasted for about four days. In the long term. The team also studied the effects of moderate but prolonged mercury consumption in time. The team altered the mice diet and made it rich in red tuna, one of the fish with higher heavy metal concentrations. Not only did they verify that the methylmercury continued to disappear from the digestive systems of the mice, they also verified that it did not permeate the body of these. The team studied the effect on pregnant mice, checking that methylmercury levels were kept low in maternal and fetal tissues, including less toxicity in the fetus’s brain. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Cell Host & Microbe. A problem that will go worse before better. The study opens the way to the use of “design” probiotics that could help us avoid the worst consequences of mercury pollution. This method does not attack the root problem but, as their own creators explain, it can help us address a problem without a short -term solution. “Despite global efforts to reduce mercury emissions and their accumulation in fish, metercurio levels are not expected stood out in a press release Amina Schartup, co -author of the study.

The Divisumma calculator was the mechanical jewel of Olivetti. Now is an icon of retrofuturist design

by

Before making a mathematical operation as easy as Ask for a voice assistant either type it in chatgpT, the calculators They were an essential tool on any desk. Long before Light and dear Casiothere were others that seemed authentic desktop computers: huge, heavy, and mechanically amazing. The most iconic were the Olivetti, jewels of engineering that combined technical precision with an industrial design Retroputurist that resists dying. And among them, a name shone: Divisumma 26 GT. The divisumma. Mechanical calculators exist since the 18th century in the 18th First calculator capable of multiplyingand it was in the XX when the revolution arrived. At the beginning of the century the keyboards were simplified, they became somewhat more compact, easy to use and the electric models appeared. That’s where Olivetti began to stand out. Its first electrical model, Divisumma 14 of 1948, was baptized like this because it could do the four basic mathematical operations and not only had a characteristic design, but surprising mechanics. Twelve years later the Divisumma 24 arrived, and this was a revolution. Although the keyboard was still very simple and easy to use, it had a double totalizing system that allowed to change between two calculations without losing operations. In addition, he had memory for multiplication and mechanically began to complicate the thing. Seeing one of these machines without industrial cutting is a show: 26 GT, the culmination of mechanics. Since model 24, launched in 1956, the Italian company was launching other mechanical calculators focused on various users, but the true generational relief, and the culmination of electromechanical calculation, was the divisumma 26 GT of 1967. Apart from the basic operations, it had the ability to make calculations with powers and had a totalizer in this case, but with two memories. This allowed the machine to store intermediate values ​​to chain calculations. It was fed by an electric motor that consumed 50 W and that storage of values ​​was not done in a chip or a memory like the ones we currently have: but based on mechanical parts. It was that characteristic that allowed the 26 GT to overcome the previous models due to that most marked automation. Its weight of between 17 and 20 kilos (depending on the housing) for a 28 x 25 x 50 cm machine, evidence that the interior was an authentic metal jungle and a delight for sight. It was not the most advanced in the brand, since that same 1967 came the Logos 27-2but the reliability and maintenance problems of this put more value the work done by Teresio Gassino and Natale Capellaro In the mechanical part of the 26 GT. The divisumma 26 GT with the exhibition housing Fashion calculator. Inside, the Divisumma were a real virguería, but on the outside it was not far behind. Like Braun, he is remembered, among other reasons, for iconic Dieter Rams designsa very important part of Olivetti was Austrian designer and architect Ettore Sottsass. He began collaborating with the Italian company in 1958 and remained as a design consultant for 30 years. At that time he gave birth not only the Elea 9003 of 1959 (one of the first electronic computers in Italy), but the Olivetti Valentine of 1969 that was a symbol of Italian industrial design and some of the electric calculators of the house, “wearing” those good mechanical characteristics with housings that innovated in aesthetics. The Divisumma 26 GT also had bodies of Sottsass, being one of them translucent to be able to appreciate mechanics and exceeding the passage of time. They are one of those elements that, such as Braun’s polishing, could launch at any time saying that they are retrofuturists and would not disregard at all. He had the foundations of the Divisumma 24, but added those distinctive orange colors and more straight lines so that it would not go out of style. Divisumma 18, whose compact design is exhibited at MoMA next to Divisumma 14 Electronics arrived. But we are in 1969 and progress tightened. Since the beginning of the decade, the electronic calculators had begun to appear the leg, but they were huge (the Anita MK VII with vacuum tubes and cathode tubes of 1961, for example) and impossible to use away from the desk. They evolved with the Sharp CS-10A From 1964 that already used transistors, but at the same time that Divisumma 26 GT arrived the real revolution. Sharp launched its QT-8ba very compact battery calculator. Canon did the same with the Pocketronic that already pointed ways from the name and MK6010 Texas Instrumental had everything integrated into a chip, being smaller, cheap and energy efficient. All were on the electronics ship, so the old electric calculators had to think about retiring. That does not break… Today, with that wave of nostalgia, we see users in places like Reddit who continue to love their ancient electric calculators Olivetti. They will use them or not, but there are those who affirm that, with basic maintenance, they continue to function as the first day. Its sound is still very representative, the design has not gone out of style and are even a very interesting decoration piece on a surface. Now, seeing these veteran calculating I can only think about my CRT televisions to play old consoles. Not because of nostalgia -I do not have nostalgia for a calculator other than the casio that we have all had -but because, at the time they break, we will surely not find anyone who can repair them. It will be that day when these pieces are only as a museum meat, but although the mechanics fail, that Retrofuturist design It will survive.

Its scientists have detected a design failure in NASA’s reactor

by

United States and China are measuring their spatial capabilities In a race to build the first lunar base. Although NASA was victorious from the previous race to the moon against the Soviet Union, It is not so clear that it takes the lead On this occasion. For now, Chinese scientists They have found failures In a crucial element of NASA’s lunar program: its energy source. NASA’s lunar reactor. NASA leads US efforts to inhabit the moon with its partners of Artemisa agreements. The Chinese Space Agency CNSA and the Russian Roscosmos advancetogether with a small group of allies, in the development of the International Lunar Research Station (Ilrs), which It will start working in 2036 and Wait to house thousands of scientists. On the moon, one night lasts 14 terrestrial days, so more than solar panels will be needed to maintain the energy supply of the facilities. NASA He has been developing for years A small nuclear energy plant specially designed to function on the surface of the moon. This little fission reactor is called Fission Surface Power (FSP) and can generate 40 kW of power. China has found a failure. The researchers of the National Nuclear Corporation of China (CNNC) examined NASA’s proposal and discovered improveable aspects in their design. A study published by the Chinese scientific journal Atomic Energy Science and Technology Review these weaknesses focusing on the composition of nuclear fuel, the cooling system and the security control of the US reactor. Chinese scientists highlight the FSP reactor compact designbut they see a clear mistake in the choice of fuel. According to his study, the use of very enriched uranium cylindrical bars will require thick beryl layers as a armor to control intense radiation. In addition, it will limit the useful life of the reactor to about eight years due to the “fuel swelling” (fuel expansion), a phenomenon that makes the material increase in volume gradually due to radiation. To this we must add that the reactor has a simple control mechanism, less safe in critical situations. Remove, NASA, we do it. In addition to pointing out US design problems, CNNC scientists presented an improved version of the lunar nuclear reactor taking as reference both NASA design and an old Soviet space reactor called Topaz-II. The main improvements introduced by the Chinese lunar reactor are: Ring -shaped fuel bars: instead of solid cylinders, the bars have an annular shape, such as a hollow ring. Inside they have small uranium dioxide pills covered by stainless steel, allowing the heat generated by the nuclear reaction to dissipate better, using the interior and exterior of the refrigeration ring Double cooling system: The Chinese reactor has a cooling system based on a liquid metal (NAK-78) that flows through internal and external channels of annular fuel bars. This design allows the reactor temperature to be maintained below 600 ° C, which improves the safety and stability of the reactor Most efficient neutron moderator: Chinese design uses a material called ititrio hydride (YH1.8) as a moderator, the material responsible for slowing down neutrons, improving nuclear reaction and making it more efficient. Ititrium hydride is more stable than traditional nuclear moderators (such as zirconium hydride), which avoids dangerous hydrogen leaks and increases the safety and life of the reactor Less nuclear fuel necessary: ​​Thanks to its design and the use of Ititrium hydride as a moderator, the Chinese reactor needs only 18.5 kg of Uranium-235 in front of the NASA FSP reactor, which requires approximately 70 kg of U-235, almost four times more. Weight reduction is essential in space missions, not only due to cost savings, but because nuclear materials are being launched through the Earth’s atmosphere Your turn, United States. The Chinese reactor is up to 75% more efficient than that of NASA, and promises a useful life of 10 years, compared to the eight of the American reactor. This advance would potentially position China ahead of the United States in the objective of establishing a sustained and self -sufficient presence on the moon, since the constant energy that a nuclear reactor allows will be essential to be able to hold inhabited bases in the long term. But NASA design is not monolithic or closed. The expected thing is that, as China has done, the agency takes advantage of its opponent’s investigations to improve its own technology. What could also end up with companies that develop small modular reactors (SMR) for the supply of electricity on Earth. If something has space careers, they improve, based on research, technologies that end up moving to other industries. Images | POT In Xataka | We are building nuclear spacecraft again.

a “revolution” beyond design

by

Apple prepares to introduce one of the biggest changes in its software ecosystem, According to Mark Gurman. The Bloomberg analyst points to a deep renewal of the company’s operating systems, with the intention of adapting to a new generation of users. If the information is successful, we could be facing a key evolution in its strategy. A “revolutionary interface”. The sources point out that the deepest renewal will focus on the interface. Apple will bet on a new design of icons, menus, applications and buttons, with the aim of simplifying navigation and control of devices. The proposal will take some inspiration in the aesthetics of the system of the Vision Pro. The objective is to achieve greater visual coherence among the different operating systems of the company. It is not a new approach: we have already seen attempts in this direction, such as the renewal of the System Settings menu, which adopted a design closer to that of iOS and Ipados. However, the transition has not been the pleasure of all, and there are still many elements that are far from maintaining uniformity. More than design settings. Although renewal will focus on the visual section, it will not be just an aesthetic change. New functions and characteristics are likely to also arrive. In the past, Apple has introduced interactive widgetsimprovements in privacy, a password management applicationthe function IPhone duplication and Apple Intelligence. These last two, yes, are not yet available in Spain outside the beta versions. iOS 6 (left), iOS 7 (right) And what about Apple Intelligence? Everything indicates that Apple Intelligence will follow its own path, although not without obstacles. Its initial launch was scheduled for September 2024 with iOS 18but did not arrive until October with iOS 18.1. The plan was to continue its deployment with an improved version of Siri in 2025, capable of understanding the context and executing actions on behalf of the user. However, it has recently been known that this advance will not reach 2026. Radical changes, not a fusion. Gurman clarifies that the company has no intention of merging its operating systems. iOS, iPados and Macos will continue to be independent platforms, maintaining their own characteristics. This differentiation, in addition to responding to functional needs, also reinforces its commercial strategy, promoting the purchase of several devices instead of depending on one. The changes are on their way. These novelties, according to the sources, will be part of iOS 19 and iPados 19, whose code name is “Luck”, and macos 16, Internally known as “Cheer”, which will be launched at the end of this year. However, these updates are expected to be one of the key points of the WWDC25, the Annual Apple developer conference. We have not seen such a change for years. If you have been in Apple’s ecosystem for some time, you may remember the jump from iOS 6 to iOS 7. That redesign left Skeuomorphism behind – Icon and elements that imitated real objects – to adopt a more modern approach, with flat colors, transparencies and stylized typography. Since then, the company has refined this aesthetic gradually in each version of the operating system. In the case of macOS, another turning point arrived in 2020 with Big Sur. The icons adopted square shapes, closer to iOS, although with an exclusive design for Mac. It was a key step in the visual unification of the brand’s ecosystem.

They could be from the new Glyph rear of their next mobile, the Phone (3)

Just yesterday the British manufacturer returned to the fray with the Pokémon which will be linked to some of the mobile phones that it plans to launch this year. There are several possibilities and everything seems to indicate that they would be the Phone (3) and the (3a), and if anything has to modify or change Nothing is the back, precisely what seems to be drawn in some sketches that the British company has shared. If there is a manufacturer that likes to play with mystery with its imminent launches, this would be Nothing, and since it began its journey as a new mobile manufacturer, started posting images of insects to give clues about your next Phone (2) or the same Phone (2a) from last year. In that game he now finds himself publishing five images from his Instagram account in which you can see a series of sketches that draw part of the design concepts of some of the mobiles which he plans to launch this year. They can look like pieces of a puzzle or simply loose concepts that throw ideas about the change that must occur on the back of your mobile. And it is precisely that he received a lot of criticism with the Nothing Phone (2) when it was launched, since the back was very similar to Phone (1). These criticisms led me to play with another “Glyph” in the design of the next Telephone (2a) that he launched last year in Spain, so it is possible that those sketches made with erratic linesbut that draw shapes, be they part of the back of the next Phone (3) or (3a). Nothing’s sketches nothing The Free Android Of them there is an image that does not fit into the rest or in some way it cannot be related, and that is that they look like two boxes with an oval shadow that do not make it clear what they are referring to; which could be part of the rear with which it can move away from the design of previous mobile phones and thus powerfully draw attention again as it has done with many of its technological products. Be that as it may, mystery once again surrounds a Nothing Phone (3) mobile that was anticipated by Carl Pei himself at the beginning of the year in an email that he sent to his employees to make it clear that this year his commitment is going to be greater. In fact, he announced that Nothing was looking for capital to invest in the technology necessary to bring generative artificial intelligence to its new premium; and even more so when this time it wants to elevate the mobile phone category to catch up with those from Samsung, Apple and others. All five images are available from your account at instagram.
