Can it be said that Nothing is going to catch them all? Well… It might be! The tech company Nothing has once again captured the attention of consumers with its latest teaser, which features a pixelated image of the Pokémon Arcanine, suggesting a possible official collaboration between Nothing and The Pokémon Company. This strategy is part of the company’s creative approach to generate anticipation around its new products, which it has already demonstrated on previous occasions.

Surprise Attack!

The image of Arcanine has led to speculations about the next release from Nothing. Some rumors suggest it could be linked to the Nothing Phone (3), the latest model in their smartphone line. The number “9” in Arcanine’s name has been interpreted by some analysts as a possible reference to an announcement scheduled for February 9, while others point out that the Pokémon’s Pokédex number, 58, might hint at a slightly later announcement date, specifically February 27. It’s like looking for clues where there’s only mud.

Additionally, Nothing has ambitious plans for the future. It is expected that the launch of a smartphone with artificial intelligence will occur in the first quarter of 2025, which could align with an announcement in February. This new generation of devices promises to incorporate advanced technology to enhance the user experience, although it is assumed that there will be more than two Nothing phones launched before mid-2025.

With this marketing strategy and the potential collaboration with The Pokémon Company, Nothing is trying to attract both technology enthusiasts and Pokémon fans. However, as is common with these teasers, concrete information about the product remains scarce, leaving fans and the press speculating about the real meaning behind this image full of intrigue (and which we want to catch right away in our Pokéball).

Serious privacy flaws have been detected in the messaging app Nothing Chats

Nothing Chats, the messaging app that aimed to enhance Android compatibility with iMessage services, isn’t faring as well as expected. In terms of privacy, serious issues have been detected, issues that many other instant messaging services have resolved years ago.

Privacy stands as a fundamental aspect of present-day messaging. As detected in Nothing Chats, this service fails to meet the privacy standards upheld by virtually all major chat services today. Therefore, users should be aware of the risks involved if they opt to use this service regularly.

Unencrypted messages in Nothing Chats

One of the most notable advancements in privacy in recent years in services like WhatsApp or Telegram was the implementation of end-to-end message encryption. What does that mean? Well, the message you send through one of these systems is encrypted before being sent, preventing interceptions from exposing your messages. This message remains encrypted until it reaches the recipient’s device, meaning the person you intended to send that message to.

The issue with Nothing Chats not encrypting its messages essentially means that anyone with access to your internet network could expose the content of the messages you send through this app’s servers. Additionally, if Nothing Chats were to suffer a cyber attack and information were stolen from its servers, the privacy of your messages would be seriously compromised. Moreover, they also store messages in their database without encryption, essentially leaving a bag of treats in plain sight for any hacker.

Secure messaging in other services

The security of the messages you send will be well protected if you use applications like WhatsApp or Telegram, as they have had these privacy tools active for many years. Nothing Chats will need to solve these serious security issues because its users’ information is completely exposed to any cyber attack. Meanwhile, it’s difficult to recommend a service that jeopardizes the security of its users.

Currently, Nothing has decided to remove the Nothing Chats application from the Play Store, so users who haven’t downloaded it won’t have to worry about accidentally downloading it. Also, if you have the app downloaded, it’s advisable to uninstall it until its security is brought in line with current standards.

Nothing has launched its first products from its more budget-friendly brand, including headphones, a smartwatch, and more

Nothing is one of the most eye-catching tech companies in recent years, and it’s no surprise, as they have achieved a good balance between the quality of their products and striking, interesting designs. The company aims to cover as much ground as possible, and a while ago, they announced their sub-brand, CMF by Nothing, which was created to offer similar but more budget-friendly products.

Now, the day has arrived when the first CMF products have been revealed, and they can be found on the official website of the company. These initial releases from Nothing’s sub-brand include wireless earbuds, a smartwatch, and a GaN adapter. Among them, the smartwatch is the most surprising, as the company did not previously have one among its devices.

Wireless earbuds, a smartwatch, and a GaN adapter are the first budget-friendly products from CMF by Nothing

To begin with, we can detail the key aspects of the Buds Pro, which are the first headphones Nothing has launched under the CMF brand. Essentially, these are a non-transparent version of the Nothing Earbuds, but they are also somewhat more limited in terms of their features. The headphones can provide us with hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC, starting from 45 dB), touch control, improved call quality, and a function to boost bass. They can also be controlled through the Nothing X app.

As stated by the company itself, each of these earbuds has a 55 mAh battery, which can last up to 11 hours with ANC disabled. If you use their charging case, the total duration can extend up to 39 hours, making their battery life quite interesting. As for the price of these Buds Pro, they are available for $49.

But that’s not all; CMF has introduced two more products, and one of them is the aforementioned smartwatch called the Watch Pro. This CMF by Nothing watch can be said to be similar to the Apple Watch Ultra, at least in terms of its design, although it does not have the same quality, of course. With it, you can receive notifications, monitor 10 sports, use GPS, enjoy an IP68 rating, and it features a 340 mAh battery. You can also receive and make calls thanks to the integration of a speaker and a microphone.

Among its features, we can also find a 1.96-inch screen with a resolution of 410 x 502 pixels. Additionally, in terms of its battery life, it’s worth mentioning that, at least as claimed by its makers, this smartwatch can offer up to 13 days of battery life, which is quite impressive. As for the price of this Watch Pro, it is priced at $69.

The last product from Nothing’s new brand is a GaN adapter. This charging adapter allows for quite impressive charging speeds in compact devices, making it a noteworthy product. Regarding its features, it’s a 65W GaN adapter with two USB-C ports and one USB-A port, compatible with PD3.0 and QC4.0 standards. It can be used worldwide thanks to its voltage range, which spans from 100 to 240V. The price of this product is $39.

With all that said, it will be interesting to see the commercial progress of these more budget-friendly Nothing products, as their success will determine whether the company founded by Carl Pei can thrive in the industry as one of the major high-end manufacturers. A strong performance would also secure a good position for CMF, especially in the mid-range and lower segments of the market.
