The Nothing Phone 2a was one of the most memorable smartphones of 2024. It offered a fast display, big battery and personality, all for just $349. For a follow-up, Nothing could have simply refreshed the 2a and the result would have probably been worth recommending. But the company didn’t do that. Instead, it decided to update the 2a and release an entirely new handset alongside it.
That new device, the Phone 3a Pro, has something you don’t find on many midrange smartphones: a periscope telephoto camera. If you can live with some added weight and a slightly silly design, the 3a Pro offers a nearly flagship camera experience for $459. As for the 3a, it’s a great device on its own, and a smart alternative if you have even less to spend on a new phone.
There are a couple of important details I need to mention before I get too far into this review. In the US, Nothing is selling the 3a and 3a Pro through a “beta” program where the company only offers 14 days of after-sale support. If …read more

DNA testing firm 23andMe has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to help the company sell itself after years of financial difficulties. Anne Wojcicki, 23andMe’s co-founder and CEO, announced on X that she has resigned with immediate effect to become an independent bidder for the company, with chief financial and accounting officer Joe Selsavage stepping in as interim CEO.
“After a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives, we have determined that a court-supervised sale process is the best path forward to maximize the value of the business,” Mark Jensen, chair and member of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors, said in a statement. “We expect the court-supervised process will advance our efforts to address the operational and financial challenges we face, including further cost reductions and the resolution of legal and leasehold liabilities.”
23andMe is best known for its at-home gene testing kits that use a customer’s saliva to dig into their ancestry. The company was briefly valued at $6 billion after going public in 2021, but has since plummeted to $50 million after failing to turn a profit. …read more

Google has started rolling out new AI features to Gemini Live that let it “see” your screen or through your smartphone camera and answer questions about either in real-time, Google spokesperson Alex Joseph has confirmed in an email to The Verge. The features come nearly a year after Google first demonstrated the “Project Astra” work that powers them.
A Reddit user said the feature showed up on their Xiaomi phone, as spotted by 9to5Google. Today, the same user posted the video below demonstrating Gemini’s new screen-reading ability. It’s one of the two features Google said in early March would “start rolling out to Gemini Advanced Subscribers as part of the Google One AI Premium plan” later in the month.
The other Astra capability rolling out now is live video, which lets Gemini interpret the feed from your smartphone camera in real-time and answer questions about it. In the demonstration video below that Google published this month, a person uses the feature to ask Gemini for help deciding on a paint color to use for their freshly-glazed pottery.
Google Maps users have recently been complaining on places like Reddit that their Timeline data — the app’s historical record of where they’ve been — had disappeared. Now, Google has confirmed that it accidentally deleted the data and that anyone who wasn’t using Google’s cloud backups is out of luck.
Google spokesperson Genevieve Park provided this statement in an email to The Verge:
We briefly experienced a technical issue that caused the deletion of Timeline data for some people. Nearly everyone with encrypted Timeline backups will be able to restore their data; unfortunately those who did not have backups enabled will not be able to recover lost data.
In a Reddit post that Android Authority spotted, users reported getting a similar statement in an email from Google that included instructions for recovering the data for those who’d turned on the app’s cloud backup feature. To see if it’s on for you, tap your user icon in the iOS or Android Google Maps app, then “Your timeline,” and look for a cloud icon with either an arrow inside of it (on) or a line through it (off). You can tap the icon to change …read more
