Pen tablets are essential for photographers and illustrators, but the Huion Inspiroy 2 aims to replace the external keyboard by packing extensive controls onto the tablet.

The side group keys unlock 24 functions across three modes, switchable per app or activity. With a USB-C connection, it targets a wired workflow while offering far more shortcuts than most tablets. The tablet uses PenTech 3.0 with a battery-free EMR pen at up to 5080 LPI resolution. Overall, the Inspiroy 2 promises a more ergonomic, keyboard-free workflow for creatives.

Nothing is moving away from its near-stock Android approach by including a carefully selected set of third-party apps on select mid-range phones, starting with the Phone 3 and Phone 3a in the OS 4.0 beta. Co-founder Akis Evangelidis framed the shift as a way to offer added services without disrupting the Nothing OS experience, but fans are upset about bloatware on devices that formerly prized minimal software. The change aligns with the Android 16 beta rollout and even introduces Lock Screen Glimpse- a feature some users describe as unwanted, appearing on update prompts. Critics warn that preloaded apps can waste storage, drain battery, and slow performance, threatening Nothing's promise of a clean Android experience.
