Nothing's Special Community Edition Phone has Already Sold Out

 

Not too long ago, Nothing finally unveiled the Nothing Phone 2a Plus Community Edition, which featured a somewhat new take on a current device with design input from Nothing Phone fans, from the phone's exterior design all the way to UI elements like wallpapers. If you were hoping to grab one for yourself however, you might be out of luck.

 

Only 1,000 units of the phone will be made, and Nothing says that the phone sold out from its online store in just under 15 minutes. If you missed the initial online sale however, you can still get the phone via a limited release on November 16 via Nothing's physical store in Soho, London.

 

While the Community Edition's specs remain pretty much the same as the regular 2a Plus, the phone's main highlight is its glow-in-the-dark design, which adds a bit of lighting to the glyph interface (which itself already packs an LED lighting system) whenever the lights are off.

 

In terms of specs, the Nothing Phone 2a Plus comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 7350 Pro chipset, a 6.7-inch display, a 50MP main camera, as well as a 5,000 mAh battery.


The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s replacement display will not come cheap

 

The problem with foldable phones is that they're not particularly cheap to begin with. So, imagine if you break or damage the display of one, and you've guessed right, it won't be cheap to replace at all. This is why we can't say we're surprised at the cost of a replacement display for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

 

According to a report from 9to5Google, they cite a page on iFixit's website in which they list a bunch of the genuine components you can buy if you want to fix the Pixel 9 Pro Fold yourself. One of those parts is the foldable display of the phone, where according to the list, it will cost a whopping $1,199!

 

Yes, you read that right, a replacement display for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold actually costs more than the base Pixel 9 model, the Galaxy S24, and Apple's latest iPhone. That's honestly kind of crazy, but keep in mind that this isn't just the display itself. It consists of the metal frame and hinge, all of which presumably adds to the cost of the part.

 

This doesn't mean we're discouraging you from buying the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It is a fantastic foldable handset. It's just that you might want to be extra careful when handling it because replacing its display could end up costing you an arm and a leg.


ASUS ROG Phone 9 spotted on Geekbench with Qualcomm's latest chipset

 

If you're someone that plays a lot of mobile games, then you might be interested to learn that ASUS has a new gaming smartphone in the works. This shouldn't be too surprising given the success of the company's past releases, but a report from MySmartPrice has revealed that the ROG Phone 9 was recently spotted on Geekbench's website.

 

According to the benchmark listing, it looks like the upcoming ROG Phone 9 will be powered by the brand new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. This is the latest flagship chipset from Qualcomm that was revealed last month during the Snapdragon Summit. We've already seen a couple of phones use the chipset, so this shouldn't really come as a huge surprise.

 

The benchmark listing has also revealed that the handset will use the Adreno 830 GPU and will come with a whopping total of 24GB of RAM! It also appears to run Android 15 right out of the box, so customers won't have to wait for ASUS to push out the update. That being said, we have to wonder if the use of the Snapdragon 8 Elite could cause issues for gaming handsets like the ROG Phone 9.

 

This is because we had previously come across reports that the chipset does run a bit hot, so for devices meant for gaming, it could cause some problems. However, it is possible that a software fix could address these overheating concerns. Plus, we imagine ASUS will probably equip the handset with a variety of smartphone cooling tech, so we'll have to wait and see how it plays out.

Motorola patents rollable phone with multiple fingerprint sensors

 

Motorola is no stranger to foldable phones, but rollable phones? That's new. The company has shown off concepts of such a device in the past, and it seems that it is a concept that they're not quite ready to let go of just yet. According to recent patents, Motorola has come up with a rollable phone that has multiple built-in fingerprint sensors.

 

At the moment, in-display fingerprint sensors are limited in the sense that they only work where they are placed. This means that users will need to authenticate themselves on the same spot each and every time. It's not a big deal, but being able to unlock your phone anywhere on the screen would be more convenient.

 

This Motorola patent suggests that the company would integrate multiple in-display fingerprint sensors across the rollable phone. Given that rollable phones offer a unique experience where they can be unfurled or rolled up, having multiple sensors will give users more options when it comes to unlocking their phone.

 

Obviously having something like a facial recognition system would be better, but there are some who prefer fingerprints. Note that this is only a patent and there's no indication that Motorola will ever create such a device, but it's interesting to see what the company could be cooking up.
