Nostalgia worked! HMD Global reveals it has sold 70 million Nokia phones in two years

Dec 7, 2018

Just like yesterday, it is two years already since HMD Global Oy took us on a journey with the revival of the Nokia brand which elicited lots of nostalgia among fans. Since the introduction of the Nokia 150 and 150 Dual feature phone in December 2016, the Finnish company went on to announce the Nokia 6 in January 2017 as its first Android smartphone and the reception was outstanding. The company even played more on the feelings of hardcore Nokia fans when it reintroduced the Nokia 3310 with a refined, yet durable design. The catalogue of sleek Nokia phone has catapulted the company to rank among the top 5 brands across Europe.

A few days back, the Nokia 8.1 was unveiled in an event in Dubai and during the event, the company reeled out some of its achievements in the last two years. The major achievement is no doubt the disclosure that the company has sold a whopping 70 million phones within this period. The figure is a compendium of both smartphones and feature phones. The breakdown of this total shipping estimates shows HMD Global took a wise decision to revive the brand. An estimated 56 million units of the Nokia phones were reportedly sold to men over the age of 35 who previously knew about the Nokia brand. In addition, HMD confirmed that its cheaper devices are its main source of income and admitted that its flagship offerings significantly underperformed.

HMD also disclosed that the Nokia 6.1 currently rank as the best-selling “new” phone on a global scale, although this claim was most likely made in reference to the phone’s pricing segment and the markets it’s currently sold in. Additionally, the company noted that both the Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 3.1 proved extremely popular too. The success of the Nokia 7 Plus obviously led to the launch of Nokia 8.1 with some shared features. In terms of its main focus moving forward, the company hopes to continue strengthening its position in the €300 to €400 segment – hence the release of the Nokia 7.1 and Nokia 8.1 recently – and also plans on addressing younger customers with new marketing campaigns in different segments such as the e-sports area.

Dec 7, 2018

Rumors that had surfaced earlier this year had claimed that Vivo will be launching a smartphone with 10 GB of RAM before the end of the year. Recent reports have revealed that the Vivo NEX 2 flagship phone that is scheduled to go official on Dec. 12 will be featuring 10 GB of RAM. Today, a Vivo smartphone with model number V1821A has surfaced on Geekbench. It seems to be the Vivo NEX 2 dual screen smartphone that is scheduled to go official next week.

The Vivo NEX 2 (V1821A) Geekbench listing has revealed that it will be fueled by the Snapdragon 845 which also powered the original Vivo NEX phone. The SoC will be supported by 10 GB of RAM. The smartphone is loaded with Android 9 Pie OS. In the single-core test, the handset has recorded a score of 2220 and it has scored 8467.

The specifications of the Vivo NEX 2 have surfaced in bits and pieces. The smartphone has been approved by 3C authority in China through which it has ben confirmed that it will be enabled with support for 22.5W rapid charging technology.

Vivo NEX 2 is launching on December 12, features dual displays and triple cameras

Dec 7, 2018

Vivo is gearing up to launch its upcoming experimental smartphone — Vivo NEX 2, which seems like a successor of the Vivo NEX launched earlier this year featuring an elevating front-facing camera.

Earlier, it was reported that the Chinese company could launch the Vivo NEX 2 smartphone on 11th December. Now, the company has finally revealed that the phone will be launched in China on 12th December.

The Vivo NEX 2 will be featuring dual displays. It will miss out on the elevating front-facing camera as the triple rear camera setup will also act as a front-facing camera, thanks to a secondary display on the back side. The official renders of the smartphone released by the Chinese company also confirms this design.

However, do note that Vivo won’t be the first smartphone manufacturer to feature dual displays and rear camera setup also doubling as front-facing camera sensors as ZTE has already launched Nubia X with such design. But it will be interesting to see Vivo’s take on this type of design.

Thanks to the lack of camera sensors on the front side of the smartphone, the device will come with a high screen-to-body ratio and ultra-thin bezels surrounding the display. On the back side, below the secondary screen, there’s a Vivo branding logo.

There’s an illuminated RGB Lunar Ring at the topside of the rear screen. Half portion of the Lunar Ring is on the upper bezel of the rear screen while the other half is placed under the display. Rumours suggests that the Lunar Ring will glow when the phone receives any notifications. It may also function as additional LED flash for the camera.

While the company has not yet revealed the phone’s specifications, the phone has passed through certifications, which reveal that the device will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 octa-core flagship chipset and will have up to 10GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

It is speculated that the front side display could be of 6.59-inch whereas the rear display could be 5.5-inch. The phone is expected to come with an in-display fingerprint sensor, which will make it the first smartphone with dual display to have an under-display fingerprint scanner.

As for the software, the Vivo NEX 2 is claimed to offer a new user experience. Vivo has developed a new version of its mobile operating system based on Android that has been tailored for dual-screen phones. It is also said to come with support for several AI-based features.

Dec 7, 2018

BBK subsidiary Vivo is expected to release a second-generation model of the innovative Vivo NEX flagship on December 11. There have been several teasers and leaked details giving us an idea of what to expect on the Vivo NEX 2 as it would be called. Vivo yesterday released a teaser video on its official Weibo account. The teaser categorically hints at the model launching with six new innovative technology.

Although the teaser video comes in Chinese, we already have an idea of the new features that would be onboard the device. One of them is a triple rear camera setup just like the Huawei P20 Pro. The device is also likely to have a liquid cooling system, Artificial Intelligence, 3D beauty, star-ring flash.

Tin addition, the Vivo NEX 2 is expected to have a rear-facing display which serves as a viewfinder while shooting selfie images. Since there are no front-facing camera sensors, we are expecting a higher screen-to-body ratio with extremely narrow bezels. The rear camera is expected to be a 5.5-inch screen and the device will have a gradient color body. We expect Vivo to officially announce the NEX 2 on December 11 when more details of the model will be released. You can check out the video from here.

Samsung is reportedly working to launch an all-new M-series for budget and mid-range smartphones in the Indian market. As per the reports, the South Korean giant will launch two phones under its M-series, which could possibly be named Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20.

The company has reportedly started mass production of both the smartphones in India, suggesting that the official launch of the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 is imminent. Now, the latest report suggests that the smartphones will be priced aggressively to win the highly-competitive budget smartphone segment in India.

According to the report, the Samsung Galaxy M10 could be priced under Rs. 10,000 (approximately $142) while the Samsung Galaxy M20 could be priced around Rs. 15,000, which roughly converts to $213. Considering the aggressive pricing, it won’t be surprising if Samsung keeps the M-series as an online-only smartphone series.

With Chinese smartphone manufacturers dominating the Indian smartphone market in the budget and mid-range category, Samsung is feeling the pressure to price its smartphones more aggressively. Most of the Chinese phones are priced very aggressively and offers great value-for-money.

Earlier reports have suggested that the Galaxy M10 will be a budget offering that will be powered by the company’s in-house Exynos 7870 octa-core processor. It is expected to pack 3GB RAM and two options for internal storage — 16GB and 32GB. As for the software, the phone will be running Android Oreo operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s custom interface.

On the other hand, the Galaxy M20 variant is rumored to be powered by the Samsung’s own Exynos 7885 upper mid-range processor, coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. The device is said to feature a Full-HD+ screen resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels with an unknown screen size, and just like M10, this one too will run Android Oreo out-of-the-box.

While the company has not revealed when the upcoming M-series smartphones will launch in India, we are expecting the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 to go official in early 2019.
