Here's a look at both the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro!

Sadly, I got them mere days before MWC, so I've not had time to properly test them.

That being said, I have some thoughts on the Essential Space I'll share soon on Android Authority, and my initial impressions of the devices themselves are that Nothing has once again made phones that look and feel much more premium than their internal hardware actually is. The designers did a great job once again.

📱The Nothing Phone (3a) series is official!

There's a regular and Pro model, both with Nothing's unique transparent design language, mid-range Snapdragon chips, and a periscope telephoto in the Pro.

Android's new Theft Protection features are awesome, but many people probably won't find them because they're buried under layers of Settings.

Thankfully, Google is rolling out a new, easier way to access Theft Protection settings on Android!

Android 15 introduces a new security feature wherein if multiple failed login attempts are made, the OS will lock down your device to prevent unauthorized access.

The official term for this new feature seems to be Failed Authentication Lock, and it's considered part of Android's new suite of theft protection features, alongside Theft Detection Lock, Remote Lock, and Offline Device Lock.

The existence of this feature was already known since Google announced it at I/O and also earlier this week, but the company never shared the name for it until now.

With the addition of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra and Razr 50, there are now over 100 Android devices that are ready for Circle to Search!

I've put together the most comprehensive list of devices that are ready for Circle to Search, which you can find here.
