- The design of the Nothing Phone 3 has leaked in full
- It's an unconventional aesthetic that looks modular
- The phone could launch as early as next week
The Nothing Phone 3 is booked in for its grand unveiling sometime next month, and if you're interested in spoilers for what it's going to look like, a bunch of new, unofficial renders have now made their way online.
These pictures come from Android Headlines and tipster @MysteryLupin, and the design is certainly... unconventional. The back casing is covered with squares, and looks like a classic sliding block puzzle game, or like a phone made in partnership with Lego.
It's also reminding me of the Project Ara prototype that Google developed during the 2010s, a modular phone that sadly never made it to production. The look here is all aesthetic though – you can't actually move parts in or out.
There's a little Glyph Matrix window up in the top-right corner on the back, as teased by Nothing itself. It looks like this could be used for some custom stylings, or perhaps to display unread notification counts or something along those lines.

The reactions I've seen on social media range from very positive to very negative, so however you feel about this design, you're not alone. Personally, I like it – though admittedly it takes some getting used to.
It's rare these days for a smartphone design to be in any way surprising or interesting, so whatever your opinion, you have to give Nothing some credit for that. It also looks as though some of those stylings on the back might be functional buttons.
Aside from the outside appearance, we're also expecting some changes in terms of Nothing's software too, which will once again be based on Android. Earlier leaks suggest the phone is going to go big on AI this year.
Nothing has said the phone is launching in July, and unconfirmed leaks suggest Tuesday, July 1 as the big day – so there's not long to wait at all. No doubt we can expect a few more official teases and unofficial rumors between now and Tuesday.

- Attacks can vary, from phishing campaigns to malware
- Setting clear software adoption procedures is crucial
Cyberattacks mimicking ChatGPT rose 115% in early 2025, according to new research from Russian cybersecurity Kaspersky, which is warning workers of fake productivity apps.
According to the analysis, 8,500 small and medium-sized businesses were targeted using malicious files disguised as productivity apps and AI tools.
Among the most commonly fakes apps were Zoom, Microsoft Office, ChatGPT and DeepSeek, with Kaspersky tracking more than 4,000 unique malicious files using this type of attack.
Zoom, Office and ChatGPT spoofed in latest cyberattacksThe cybersecurity company explained that cybercriminals exploit popular and hyped tools to lute victims during a sense of excitement and urgency. Phishing and spam campaigns are used to present fake offers, impersonating brands to steal data or distribute malware.
"The more publicity and conversation there is around a tool, the more likely a user will come across a fake package on the internet," security expert Vasily Kolesnikov said.
Being that Kaspersky's warning discusses productivity apps as a whole, and not one specific campaign, there isn't one type of warning being issued. Instead, workers are being advised to be aware of downloaders, trojans and adware, with phishing campaigns targeting banking, delivery and account credentials.
Kaspersky's tracking revealed a 13% increase in Zoom-related fake files in 2025, with Google Drive rising 12% and Teams rising a staggering 100%. Other Microsoft apps, including Outlook and PowerPoint (16% each), Excel (12%), Word (9%) and Teams (5%) accounting for a large proportion of the attacks observed by Kaspersky.
The company is advising businesses to set clear procedures for software adoption and to define access rules for emails, cloud files and other documents. Regular backups can also provide a reliable failsafe in the event of an attack.
"Always check the correct spelling of the website and links in suspicious emails. In many cases these links may turn out to be phishing or a link that downloads malicious or potentially unwanted software," Kolesnikov added.

- Microsoft is replacing its Blue Screen of Death with a Black Screen of Death
- This comes after decades of service from the original BSoD
- It's slated to roll out later this summer
Microsoft is gradually remodeling Windows 11, with an upgraded Xbox app aligned for the new ROG Xbox Ally handhelds that introduces an Aggregated Game Library – but it looks like gaming upgrades aren't the only things on Microsoft's radar.
As reported by The Verge, Microsoft is replacing the Windows 11 Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) with a Black Screen of Death, after decades of the latter's presence on multiple Windows iterations. It apparently wants to provide more clarity and concise information to help troubleshoot user errors easily.
This new design should begin to roll out later this summer, and if I'm honest (even though Microsoft hasn't stated it), it seems like this change is part of the big upgrade package built for a more handheld-friendly gaming experience. However, (as The Verge suggests) it may also be a response to 2024's CrowdStrike outage.
It seems like an odd design change, at least in the sense of going from blue to black, especially after the original being around for many decades. At the very least, we'll still be able to continue calling the error message 'BSoD' for short. The stop code will still be present, though, which helps provide greater insight into potential issues.
Analysis: Don't fix what isn't broken Microsoft...(Image credit: Shutterstock)While I'm not entirely mad at this change, I'm more concerned about whether this introduces issues. In my experience, there's hardly much wrong with the current BSoD error message; I'm sure this update will be beneficial for troubleshooting, but I get the sense of 'don't fix what isn't broken'.
Going by Microsoft's track record with updates recently, it doesn't instill any confidence that the transition to Black Screen of Death won't end up breaking functionality in one way or another. Sure, there's always going to be a bug or two with different Windows 11 builds, but some of its updates earlier this year have been alarmingly troublesome.
I've also remained coy on updating the OS, as well as Nvidia's GPU drivers, both of which previously caused errors. Windows left games like Assassin's Creed Origins and other Ubisoft titles crashing or unable to run, while (speaking of the new Black Screen of Death) Nvidia's GeForce drivers kept causing black screen errors during driver installations or at user login.
If this is implemented without any complications or major bugs, then I'll be happy; it will mostly come in handy for Windows handheld gaming PCs, as the decreased amount of text is easier to analyze on a smaller screen. I'm just hoping that doesn't become a bigger issue than it needs to be. Goodbye BSoD, and welcome the new BSoD...

- Someone put an AirTag in a pair of sneakers and donated them to a charity
- The shoes ended up traveling 800km across Europe
- This experiment shows just what can happen to your donated clothes
When you donate clothes to a charity, do you actually know where they end up? In most cases you don’t, but one TikTok user decided to find out by fitting a pair of sneakers with an Apple AirTag tracker and seeing where they went – and the result was pretty surprising.
The experiment was carried out by Moe.Ha on TikTok. They slipped an AirTag into a pair of donated sneakers, then placed them into a Red Cross collection bin in Munich, Germany.
Across the span of five days, the footwear left Germany and crossed through Austria, Slovenia and Croatia, before eventually arriving in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 800km from their starting location. Once there, they wound up on a shelf in a second-hand store.
Moe.Ha decided to follow the donated sneakers to Bosnia and Herzegovina and managed to locate the store, where the shoes were found sitting on a shelf, waiting to be bought for about 10 euros. According to an employee in the store, the items were brought in by their boss, who lives in Germany.
How did this happen?(Image credit: Apple)You might wonder how a pair of donated shoes ended up so far from their original location – after all, wouldn’t it make more sense to send them to a goodwill store in the local area to be sold there?
The reality, however, is more complicated. According to the German Red Cross’s website (via translation), there are two different routes donated clothes can take. One option is the “recycler model,” which results in the entire contents of a donation collection being sold to a recycling company.
The other model is the “clothing depot model,” where clothes are sorted by the Red Cross and suitable items are distributed to depots and thrift stores, with excess pieces being sold to a recycler. This route appears to be the process that Moe.Ha’s sneakers underwent. Whichever route is taken, though, the proceeds go towards the Red Cross’s work.
An experiment like this shows the value in attaching a tracker like an AirTag to an important item, just in case you lose it. Even though the shoes traveled 800km across Europe, Moe.Ha was still able to follow them using Apple’s Find My app.
Hopefully any items you lose won’t go quite so far, but if you’ve got an item tracker attached to them, you might be able to hunt them down regardless.

The best Monster Hunter Wilds graphics settings for PS5 and Xbox could make a world of difference considering the game can be a bit of a mixed bag in terms of visual consistency.
On most platforms, players will need to choose between three main modes, before further tweaks can be made to clean things up. I've now played close to 50 hours of Monster Hunter Wilds, experimenting with a whole host of settings to improve the graphics.
Monster Hunter Wilds is another step forward for the long-running co-op action franchise. This time around, there's a seamless open world to explore, filled with monsters great and small, and plenty of valuable resources to loot. You can read my full Monster Hunter Wilds review to find out why I've placed the game on our best multiplayer PC games list.
Here are the best Monster Hunter Wilds graphics settings for PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S. I'll cover whether to choose the prioritize Resolution or Framerate modes or if it's worth selecting the Balanced Mode. Then, you'll find some specific settings that can be tweaked to clean up the muddy image that can be found on certain platforms by default. Let's get started.
Monster Hunter Wilds best graphics settings for PS5(Image credit: Capcom)On PS5, you'll have the choice between three main graphics modes in Monster Hunter Wilds. You can see the key info on each in the table below:
Performance settings
Output resolutions
Rendering resolutions
Ray Tracing
Frame Rate
Prioritize Resolution
3840 x 2160
3072 x 1728
Disable
30fps
Balanced
3840 x 2160
2496 x 1404
Disable
40fps
Prioritize Framerate
3840 x 2160
1920 x 1080
Disable
60fps
Monster Hunter Wilds is an action-heavy game, that requires you to make split-second dodges, counters, and attacks. Because of this, 60fps (frames per second) is the way to go, so you'll want to choose the Prioritize Framerate mode here. Unfortunately, this does mean a hefty hit to the resolution, but, in my opinion, it's worth it. In general Monster Hunter Wilds doesn't really have the best performance on the base consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S), though there are some tweaks you can make to clean up the image.
Firstly, switch off Motion Blur. Then, go into the HDR settings and turn down the HDR Highlights bar to decrease overall Luminosity. You'll also want to darken the shadows using the slider. This will go a long way in cleaning up the washed-out look that is especially prevalent during the Inclemency seasons.
Monster Hunter Wilds best graphics settings for PS5 Pro(Image credit: Future)Now onto PS5 Pro, which, in terms of graphics settings at least, is the best place to play Monster Hunter Wilds on console. As before, there are three settings to choose from:
Performance settings
Output resolutions
Rendering resolutions
Ray Tracing
Frame Rate
Prioritize Resolution
3840 x 2160
3840 x 2160
Enable
30fps
Balanced
3840 x x2160
2496 x 1404
Enable
40fps
Prioritize Framerate
3840 x 2160
1920 x 1080
Disable
60fps
If you're playing Monster Hunter Wilds on PS5 Pro, I recommend starting the game in Balanced Mode if you have a 120Hz display. This allows for a decent frame rate, and thanks to the Pro's extra power, you'll get to enjoy the game's Ray Tracing features.
If you find that you'd rather have a higher FPS, then you can switch to Prioritize Frame Rate. From here, there are options to cap the frame rate at 60fps or leave it uncapped.
I preferred to keep it capped for more consistent performance, but try uncapped to see if you like it first, especially if you are using a VRR-capable display. It's clear that the PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) features of the PS5 Pro are at play here, using machine learning to enhance resolution and clarity. It's something we praised in our full PS5 Pro review.
As with the base PS5 or PS5 Slim, you'll want to turn off Motion Blur, and go into the HDR settings to tweak things like highlights (lower them to 6), and then shadows (darken them to remove washed-out look).
Personally, I went for the Prioritize Frame Rate mode for the vast majority of my playtime with Monster Hunter Wilds. Thanks to PSSR, the game still looked great, even at 1080p, and the frame rate was extremely consistent. These upgrades are a big part of why I've placed Monster Hunter Wilds onto TechRadar's best PS5 Pro games list.
Monster Hunter Wilds best graphics settings for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S(Image credit: Shutterstock/Miguel Lagoa)Finally, let's take a look at the best Monster Hunter Wilds graphics settings for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S:
Performance settings
Output resolutions
Rendering resolutions
Ray Tracing
Frame Rate
Prioritize Resolution
3840 x 2160
3072 x 1728
Disable
30fps
Balanced
3840 x 2160
2496 x 1404
Disable
40fps
Prioritize Framerate
3840 x 2160
1920 x 1080
Disable
60fps
Series S
1920 x 1080
1920 x 1080
Disable
30fps
As you can see, the Xbox Series X is in line with the PS5 settings for Monster Hunter Wilds. As such, I recommend the Prioritize Frame Rate Mode. There's no Ray Tracing to take advantage of here, so you may as well get the game running at a consistent 60fps.
Just like with the PS5, you'll want to turn off Motion Blur on the Xbox Series X and lower the luminosity of the highlights in HDR settings. Darkening the shadows makes things look better as well.
For those with an Xbox Series S, there are no modes to choose from, with the game locked at 1080p and 30fps. Try the visual tweaks mentioned above to clean up the image, however.
How to make Monster Hunter Wilds look less washed out(Image credit: Capcom)Monster Hunter Wilds is a visually inconsistent experience on consoles, especially in certain biomes and seasons. In particular, the Windward Plains during Fallow can be extremely washed out, with colors being muted and grey across the board. To remedy this, go into the HDR settings and adjust it to suit your screen. Then, lower the Highlights bar, and darken the shadows slightly. This can really help make colors and shadows pop, while cutting out some of the hazy-gray elements that you'll run into while out on hunts. Hopefully, Capcom releases patch to address the washed-out issues in Monster Hunter Wilds, but for now, try the steps we mentioned.

Developer Capcom has revealed some new Resident Evil Requiem footage as part of the latest Capcom Spotlight.
The 'Creators' Message' trailer also features some members of the development team speaking about the upcoming horror game. They confirm that Resident Evil Requiem will be a single-player, offline experience with a renewed focus on scares.
The protagonist will be FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft, who is described by director Koshi Nakanishi as "introverted and easily scared." The intention, he added, is to create a protagonist who experiences horror in the same way as the audience and learns to overcome her fears over the course of the story.
There has been no shortage of speculation that fan-favorite Resident Evil staple Leon Kennedy will feature in the game. Although Nakanishi did not outright deny that Leon will appear, he remarked that "making a horror game based around it is difficult" because "he wouldn't jump at something like a bucket falling."
"No one wants to see Leon scared by every little thing," he continued, "so he's actually quite a bad match for horror."
The video also touches on some of the work that went into crafting the impressively life-like graphics, including the fact that a real-world wig was used to model the physics of Grace's hair.
It also reaffirms the fact that the game will feature both a first-person and third-person camera, previously revealed to us as part of a behind-closed-doors demo shown to the press at Summer Game Fest 2025.
A few more details about the setting are also outlined. The game is set roughly thirty years after the destruction of Raccoon City and the initial zombie outbreak portrayed in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3.
Resident Evil Requiem will launch on February 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC.

- Maxell MXCP-P100 is a portable Bluetooth cassette player with up to 9 hours battery life

- Not currently (officially) available outside Japan
Maxell's new cassette player has given me a massive nostalgia rush – and if you were around in the '80s you'll know exactly why. Maxell created one of the most iconic TV ads of all time – embedded below – in which the sound from its tapes was so powerful it was like sitting in a wind tunnel.
This Bluetooth player doesn't go quite so loud, but every inch of the outside screams "eighties!" - and of course, the inside is considerably more modern.
Maxell MXCP-P100 tape player: specs, price and availabilityAs you can see from the images, it's a compact cassette player with the usual control buttons on top and a headphone out and volume on the side.
There are two additional bits you won't find on an '80s tape player, though: a Bluetooth button and a USB-C charging port. This player uses a rechargeable battery rather than old-school AAs, and it can stream wirelessly to your Bluetooth headphones. The Bluetooth version is 5.4.
(Image credit: Maxell)Battery life is a claimed nine hours with wired headphones and seven without.
There's no recording here, and no Dolby noise reduction either; the battery is built-in so you'll need to take a cable if you're taking the player travelling. And sadly there's one more caveat: it's not available officially outside of Japan, although there are tons on eBay.
The prices are variable, to say the least: I'm looking at listings ranging from $202 / £147 to $398 / £300.
That makes it quite a bit more expensive than the We Are Rewind equivalent player that also has Bluetooth, but you might be more like to want to buy the Maxell because it's so much smaller – the We Are Rewind player is a chunky, heavy beast.
And the Fiio CP13 is also way cheaper and closer to being the right size, but that doesn't have Bluetooth, so again the Maxell might be the better option if you want to actually use it out and about.
