A leaked internal email from Nothing founder Carl Pei and shared by Evan Blass, a.k.a. @evleaks, shared what we could expect from Nothing's newest smartphone. The company is supposedly hosting a "landmark smartphone launch" for the Nothing Phone (3), which is being touted as the brand's first flagship phone, in the first quarter of 2025. It will also supposedly be the brand's first device to integrate artificial intelligence features.

Nothing is also focusing on the phone's camera capabilities, with the company expanding its camera teams by 50%. Many smartphone AI features focus on camera capabilities, so this rumoured move isn't surprising.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable: Rolling out your future laptop?

Ever thought you needed a laptop with a taller display? Lenovo at CES 2025 showed off what can be considered the first commercially available rollable laptop. The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable joins a line of experimental laptops from Lenovo. Unrolled, it inconspicuously looks like your typical 14-inch laptop. But with a button press, the Samsung Display flexible OLED unfurls into a 16.7-inch vertical screen.

The laptop is meant to give you that extra-screen real estate without the bulk associated with dual-screen laptops. The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable is rated for at least 30,000 lid hinge cycles and 20,000 roll cycles (up and down).

Roborock Saros Z70: A robot vacuum with a robotic arm

At CES 2025, Roborock drew attention with its newest robot vacuum. The Roborock Saros Z70 sports an unusual attachment: a robotic arm. It allows the vacuum to pick up and relocate small objects up to 300g. Think socks, shoes, or wayward Legos. (Maybe you'll never have to nag family members to pick things up off the floor anymore.) Its artificial intelligence system can place objects in designated areas, like those socks that need to be in a laundry hamper.

Another cool feature of the Saro Z70 is it can lower its profile to 7.98cm, allowing it to clean under furniture as well. Equipped with the VibraRise 4.0 system, this robot vacuum has improved mopping and scrubbing capabilities with its tangle-free rollers. Roborock hasn't revealed pricing for the Saros Z70, but it is expected to launch in the first half of 2025.
