Nothing Ear (Web) Now Available on Chromium Browsers with Cross-Platform Support and New Audio Features
One year after releasing Ear (PC), Nothing Mod has officially announced Nothing Ear (web), an unofficial solution, for users of Nothing and CMF Audio devices in a bid to adjust settings on their devices. The web application possesses much more features compared to its peer and is accessible on more devices.
Accessible on More Platforms
Ear (PC) was available only for Windows when it came out. Thus, this created a bottleneck for the users who require these two products with MacOS and Linux as well. Currently, Ear (web) can be accessed on any browser that supports Chromium, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, and Arc, with compatibility for major operating systems like Windows, MacOS, Linux, and ChromeOS.
Since it is a web application, users can access it from any computer without the need for administrator rights. Just enable Bluetooth and open a Chrome browser.
New Features
Nothing has just launched an Advanced Equalizer and Noise Reduction for Ear (stick). It came with an infamous bug that prevented it from switching between the presets or using the Advanced Equalizer at all. The problem has been now finally fixed, though not without retaining some of the present functionality: users would still need to set the Advanced Equalizer via the Nothing X app.
They also added Noise Reduction on Ear (stick) based on popular demand. There’s also Ultra Bass mode, first seen on recent CMF and Nothing products, now available for compatible devices.
New Supported Devices
The update adds support to several new devices including:
- Nothing Ear (2024)
- CMF Buds Pro
- CMF Buds Pro 2
- Nothing Ear (stick)
In the future, this list of products will include Nothing Ear (a), as well as other CMF devices like CMF Buds and Neckband Pro.
You can access Nothing Ear (web) from here on any browser.

Nothing Phone (3) Promises Long-Term Support with 5 Android Updates, Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 Announced
The Nothing Phone (3) is set to launch globally very soon, and the company has already started revealing key details about its new flagship. Recently, the company has confirmed that its processor will be the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4. The Phone (3) will bring several improvements over the Phone (2), making it Nothing’s most advanced smartphone so far.
One of the biggest highlights is the software support. The Nothing Phone (3) will come with 5 years of Major Android updates and 7 years of security patches. This makes it the first Nothing device to offer such long-term support. In comparison, the Phone (2) provided 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches.
On the hardware side, the Phone (3) will be powered by the latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 SoC, which is an upgrade over the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip found in the Phone (2). The company says users can expect 88% better GPU performance, 33% better CPU performance, and a 125% boost in NPU performance compared to the Phone (2). The new chipset is also expected to offer better battery optimisation.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Akis Evangelidis, co-founder and Head of Marketing at Nothing, called the Phone (3) “our first true flagship and a major step up from Phone (2).” He also shared that the camera is getting a major upgrade. The Phone (3) will feature a Spectra 18-bit Triple ISP, which can separate and enhance different parts of an image in real time. This will improve detail, colour accuracy, and overall image quality.
The Nothing Phone (3) will be officially launched on July 1, and more details about the device are expected to be announced at that time.

The Nothing OS 3.2 June update shows the company’s focus on improving security, accessibility, and overall device performance. If you own one of these devices, you can check for the update in your phone’s settings and enjoy the new features.
Smartphone startup Nothing is set to bring its next flagship device, the Nothing Phone (3), to the U.S. market. According to TechCrunch, the phone will be sold through Nothing’s official website and Amazon. The Phone (3) will be unveiled early next month at an event in London.
Nothing, founded in 2020, has launched eight phones so far. However, only the Phone (2) was widely available in the U.S. Previously, American customers had to join a beta program to buy a phone, and there was no after-sales support except for a 14-day return window.
Carl Pei, CEO of Nothing and co-founder of OnePlus, shared that this launch marks an important step for the company. “We have always said we are building for the long term, and now we’re ready to take that next step in the U.S. Phone (3) is not just another launch. It is a signal of where we are as a company,” Pei told TechCrunch. He added that the U.S. market is ready for something different as it is currently dominated by just two major brands.
Pei believes the Phone (3)’s unique design and features will appeal to customers looking for an alternative to Apple, Samsung, and Google. The new phone will support AT&T and T-Mobile networks with better 4G and 5G coverage than previous models like the Phone (2a), Phone (2a) Plus, and CMF Phone 1.
In Canada, Nothing will partner with Best Buy to sell the Phone (3) along with its first over-ear headphones, the Nothing Headphone (1).
The Phone (3) is expected to feature premium materials, faster performance, and upgraded software. The price is likely to be around £800 in the U.K., or about $1,000 in the U.S., putting it in competition with the iPhone 16 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S25+.
Research shows that Nothing’s 2024 shipments were in the low millions, with India being its biggest market.
