Nothing Ear Open Bluetooth Earphones

Nothing company is going to launch new set of earphones named ‘Nothing Ear Open’. This was found to be listed on the IMDA certification platform in Singapore by 91Mobiles.

Nothing Ear Open goes through IMDA certification with the model number B182, which functioned as a low-power device on Bluetooth. The product description goes by “True Wireless earphone,” while the supplier is IFactory ASIA PTE.LTD.

Nothing Ear Open IMDA Certification

As of now, we have a clear picture of what’s coming next by Nothing. But based on this listing, we can say it’s a Bluetooth earphone or another surprise from the company.

This marks the very first online listing for the ‘Nothing Ear Open’, giving nothing more away about the specifications or features of the earphones. However, the certification does suggest that the product is destined for various global markets rather than just being limited to India and the UK.

It’s been several months since Nothing launched any new audio products. The ‘Nothing Ear’ and ‘Nothing Ear (a)’ ANC-enabled Hi-Res support launched last April featured this brand’s signature design with a see-through style.

Now that ‘Nothing Ear Open’ has started showing up in certification listings, so we might see more things coming out very soon. Many are expecting Nothing to start teasing its arrival officially.

Himanshu Tandon Resigns from POCO India, May Join Nothing’s CMF Team

Published

on

Himanshu Tandon

Himanshu Tandon, the head of POCO India, has stepped down from his role and is likely to join the smartphone company Nothing in August. According to a report by Moneycontrol, he is expected to lead Nothing’s CMF division.

Tandon was part of the founding team of POCO and became the head of its India operations in 2022. He worked under Sandeep Singh Arora, Xiaomi India’s Chief Business Officer, who joined the company from Samsung earlier this year.

This is the second major leadership change at Xiaomi India in less than a year. Earlier, in November 2024, Xiaomi India’s President Muralikrishnan B also left the company.

Xiaomi Faces Market Challenges, POCO Shows Growth

Tandon’s exit comes as Xiaomi is facing tough times in India. In the second quarter of 2025, the company’s smartphone shipments dropped by 25% compared to last year, falling to 5 million units. Its market share also dropped from 18% to 13%.

Despite this, POCO performed well. It increased its share of Xiaomi’s shipments in India from 30% to 41%, with 2.03 million units sold. According to Canalys, POCO’s success came from targeting Gen Z users, offering gaming features, and growing offline sales through JioMart Digital.

Tandon Likely to Lead Nothing’s CMF Division

Tandon is expected to join Nothing’s affordable and design-focused brand CMF. The London-based company recently shifted its global marketing team to India.

Nothing’s CMF brand, led by company co-founder Akis Evangelidis in India, has seen fast growth — 229% in Q2 — thanks to products like the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Phone 3a series.

Both Xiaomi and Nothing are expected to officially announce Tandon’s move in the coming days.

HyperOS 3

Xiaomi has officially ended development for HyperOS 2 and is now fully focused on building HyperOS 3, according to a user report from Xiaomi’s Feedback app.

Goodbye HyperOS 2, Hello HyperOS 3

All eligible Xiaomi devices have already received the HyperOS 2 update, and the company has confirmed there will be no further improvement updates for it. Instead, Xiaomi’s development team is now working hard to ensure that HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, is ready on time.

Although Xiaomi hasn’t shared a launch date yet, the upcoming OS may be called HyperOS 26, to match the release year (2026).

What to Expect from HyperOS 3

Xiaomi says HyperOS 3 will bring several improvements, including:

  • Smoother animations
  • Better system responsiveness
  • Refreshed user interface (UI)
  • An overall improved user experience

However, many of these enhancements sound a bit general, and more details are expected in the coming months.

Nine Phones Losing Support

As Xiaomi moves forward, it’s also ending software support for nine older devices, which will receive their last security patch in September 2025:

  • Redmi A1
  • Redmi A1+
  • Poco C50
  • Xiaomi 11T
  • Xiaomi 11T Pro
  • Mi 11 Lite 5G NE
  • Mi 11 LE
  • Poco M5
  • Redmi 11 Prime 4G

After this final update, these phones will no longer receive official security or system updates.

Samsung to Prioritize Foldables for New One UI Updates

Published

One UI update

Samsung is reportedly changing its strategy for software updates. Going forward, the company will give priority to its foldable phones, like the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip series, when rolling out major One UI updates.

This shift became clear when Samsung launched One UI 8 — based on Android 16 — with the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, even though Android 16 hasn’t been officially released yet. Many thought this was just a one-time surprise, but it now seems to be part of a new update policy.

According to popular tipster Ice Universe, Samsung will now launch its latest foldables with the newest Android versions and updated One UI features. Meanwhile, its Galaxy S series will receive incremental updates, rather than being the first to get new software.

Although the Galaxy S phones may not get updates first, Samsung is expected to provide them with more stable and refined versions of the software. This means that while foldables will test out new UI designs, AI tools, and software improvements first, Galaxy S devices will get a more polished and smoother experience later on.
