Much Ado About Nothing
Welcome to episode 60 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Damien, Abner, and Will talk through Nothing's latest launch event, including the company's first flagship Android phone, the Nothing Phone (3). From its divisive design to its new Glyph Matrix display, there's a lot to take in, as the company seemingly pivots towards a more premium market.
The trio also speculate on what Gemini's new four-color icon could mean for the future of Google as a company. Is this simply about aligning the logo with Google's standard theming, or does it tell us something about where Search and Gemini are headed in the future?
