Nothing has been running an open beta of Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.0 for several of its devices, including the Nothing Phone 2, Phone 2a, and CMF Phone 1. But now, if you have a Nothing Phone 2a Plus, you can also get the Android 15 beta.
The Nothing Phone 2a Plus is a bit of a weird phone. It’s another phone in the trend of manufacturers releasing something that is “new-but-not-really,” because the Nothing Phone 2a Plus is mostly the same as the Nothing Phone 2a, but with a slight bump in specs.
If you’re having a hard time figuring out the differences between the two, basically the Phone 2a Plus has a MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro chip instead of the Dimensity 7200 Pro in the Phone 2a, only comes with 256GB of storage, with no option for 128GB, and has a 50MP selfie camera instead of 32MP. Again, very marginal spec differences, as everything else is pretty much the same.
But if you had the Nothing Phone 2a Plus, well, now you can finally check out the Android 15 beta too, along with users of the Nothing Phone 2, Phone 2a, and CMF Phone 1.
The Android 15 beta with Nothing OS 3.0 is now available as of December 12, 2024. It features the same change log and install method as the other previously mentioned devices. Basically, you will have to download an APK and follow the instructions provided from Nothing to get it on your Nothing Phone 2a Plus. If you find out that the beta isn’t your thing, then yes, there is a rollback method to get back on a stable Android 14 build.
As of now, the only Nothing device that has yet to receive the Android 15 beta update is Nothing Phone 1.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
