Marshall Middleton II speaker packs better 360-degree sound and 30-hour battery

Marshall has unveiled its latest compact Bluetooth speaker, the Middleton II, an upgrade to the 2023 model. The new version promises richer, room-filling sound with deeper bass and better performance at high volumes, all while maintaining its small, portable design. The Marshall Middleton II features two 30-watt woofers and two 10-watt tweeters, arranged to deliver clear 360-degree audio. Marshall says the improvements make it sound even better than its predecessor, which was already praised for its surprisingly powerful output despite its small size. Battery life gets a significant boost as well, now lasting over 30 hours on a single charge, up from the original’s 20 hours. A quick 20-minute charge provides enough power to keep the music going, and the speaker can also double as a power bank to charge your phone.

Nothing Phone 3: Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 CPU, Four 50MP cameras, Glyph Matrix

Nothing-Phone-3-NoypiGeeks

Nothing has unveiled its best smartphone to date, the Nothing Phone 3. It features a couple of high-end specs, a bolder design, and its latest Glyph Matrix interface.

Let’s start with the most interesting upgrade. The Nothing Phone 3 gets a circular screen on the back that consists of 489 LEDs that show dot-matrix style animations to show notifications, calls, messages, and even pixelated photos, a few dedicated games, Glyph Mirror, and Solar Clock.

This Glyph display sits on the top right of the elaborately designed rear panel — an all-out expression of Nothing’s design language. There’s also a dedicated button on the rear that lets you cycle through the screen.

We also have the triple 50-megapixel cameras. It is led by a 1/1.3-inch main sensor with optical image stabilization.

The other 50-megapixel sensor measures at 1/2.75-inches and sits behind a periscope lens with a 3x optical zoom, 70mm equivalent, and macro capabilities.

We then have a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Another 50-megapixel selfie camera is on top of the 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a high 120Hz refresh rate, 4,500-nit peak brightness, and 2160 PWM dimming.

It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chipset instead of the proper Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship chip. You can get it with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. We also have a 5,150mAh silicon-carbon battery with support for 65W and 15W wired and wireless charging, respectively.

Nothing ships it with Android 15-based Nothing OS 3.5 and has promised to set 5 years of Android upgrades and 7 years of security patches.
