    Nothing’s Phone 2 brings back the ringtone composer.

    Nothing has teased a new “Glyph Composer” for its upcoming Phone 2 (and existing Phone 1) that lets you create custom ringtones and flashing light patterns based on synth-y sounds from Swedish House Mafia. As someone who once spent hours creating a custom ringtone for my Nokia 3310 based on the theme tune to Metal Gear Solid 2, I’m intrigued.

    A 4nm process comes to Snapdragon 4.

    Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 is the company’s latest entry into its lower-end 4 series. It’s built using a 4nm process (the last was 6nm) which theoretically means better battery life, and its CPU is 10 percent faster. There’s support for 5G and 120Hz 1080p displays. Redmi and Vivo will be among the first to use the chip on devices coming in the second half of the year.

    Bungie admits ‘mistakenly’ copying fan art in recent cutscene.

    After artist Julian Faylona noticed a strong similarity between an image in a new Destiny 2 cutscene and their own art, Bungie says it’ll “compensate and credit them for their work.”

    “We discovered that an external vendor that helped to create this cutscene mistakenly used this art as a reference, assuming it was official Bungie artwork,” Bungie said in a statement to PCGamer.
