Oops, looks like wireless ADB is somehow too convenient to access and your granny will use it to bypass the 24h cooldown and install malware 🤯

Did Nothing Team confirm the shutdown news ?

Nothing has responded to the news about low sales and shutting down in 12 countries by saying that it's a FAKE NEWS.

Phone (4b) sold 29,537 units on Day 1 only, breaking records in its price segment.

So Nothing is including the sales of Phone 4b in India, whereas the report mentioned the sales globally "excluding India."

We are introducing dedicated business units - including an AI-native business unit - and consolidating individual countries into regional hubs to operate much more efficiently.

consolidating individual countries into regional hubs 👀

These changes have impacted certain positions, 👀

The reported numbers are way overblown, and we call on the media to uphold factual reporting and journalistic integrity.

Digit India responded by saying:

gave Nothing Team an entire week to respond to our findings. They had no official statement to offer and denied nothing we reported. Digit stands by its story.

Nothing to exit from 12 countries as global shipments decline

Nothing is in the process of shutting down in 12 or more global markets. The exits include the Middle East, Japan and parts of Europe.

In addition, global headcount is being reduced by 40% and the company’s R&D unit, which is split 70:30 between China and London, is facing layoffs of around 50% and 30 to 40% respectively.

The Phone (4b) has shipped approximately 20,000 units globally since launch, while the Phone (4a) and Phone (4a) Pro have together reached around 150,000 units.
Nothing's sub-brand CMF has no plan of launching any phone in 2026 and the CMF 3 Pro was cancelled in favour of Nothing 4b.

Blame AI data centers for hiking memory, storage and soon SoC prices which leads to increase in smartphone pricing and thus a huge decline in sales

Indian Government wants BitChat removed from GitHub

The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) has directed GitHub to remove BitChat/Android/Releases. BitChat is an app that lets you communicate with others using local Bluetooth mesh networks, without depending on mobile networks or servers.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has suspended mobile internet access around Jantar Mantar about 5 times since 17 July with signal jammers, during the protests. Which is why, according to I4C, BitChat is dangerous because it enables communication even during network restrictions and can circumvent lawful restrictions during internet shutdowns.

The I4C issued the notice on 23/07/2026, at 23:16:04, directing GitHub to remove BitChat "within 3 hours". However, GitHub has not taken any action.

Google officially drops support for Android 6 Marshmallow after 11 years

As of yesterday, Google has officially pulled the plug on Android 6. This means the OS will no longer receive Play Protect updates and will not be included in the new APK program. Having been supported for exactly 11 years, it goes down as the longest-supported version in Android history. Google Play Services is now only supported on Android 7 and above.

Source: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/9037938?hl=en

Google also made changes to several other applications yesterday. YouTube now requires Android 10 and above, meaning Android 9 will no longer receive YouTube updates. The Google app's minimum requirement jumped from Android 9 directly to Android 11, and core apps like Gmail now require at least Android 7 and above.

With the new changes in Geekbench 7, my raven's single-core dropped from 1400 to 1100 and the multi-core scores went down from 3300 to 2500 💀

Pretty much every device including iPhones will show lower scores now on Geekbench 7 compared to scores on Geekbench 6

Geekbench 7 has been released!

What's new:
- Geekbench 7's CPU benchmark measures performance in new application areas including video conferencing, streaming, and game physics (using Jolt Engine), so you'll know how your system handles the tasks you rely on every day.

- New GPU image editing and synthesis tests are available, like RAW image processing, LUT-based video color grading, path tracing, and fluid simulation.

- The multi-core tests only run multi-threaded when real applications do, so your scores reflect how software actually behaves.

- New to Geekbench 7 is an increased focus on Machine Learning, and support for NVIDIA'S CUDA API.

- Geekbench 7 adds media workloads for testing audio and video encoding, decoding, and processing. The Whisper speech recognition, AV1, and Opus tests mimic video conferencing, screen sharing, and content consumption workloads.
