Rumors have it that HMD Global will be introducing a new 4G feature phone soon. Recently, Nokia branded phones with model numbers TA-1047 and TA-1060 had received certification from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. These variants are said to belong to a new Nokia 4G feature phone. The FCC describes it as a mobile phone and not as a smartphone. The alleged 4G Nokia feature phone has also bagged Bluetooth SIG certification which indicates that its arrival is drawing near.

Bluetooth SIG has certified TA-1047, TA-1060, TA-1056, TA-1079 and TA-1066 Nokia phones. It seems that these could be the five variants of the upcoming 4G Nokia feature phone will be heading to different markets. It is likely that the phone may arrive in India in single-SIM and dual-SIM versions.

Asia and Europe are also expected to receive the dual-SIM edition of the forthcoming Nokia 4G phone. The rest of the world is expected to receive its single-SIM edition. Africa, Australia and Americas may also receive two variants of the phone. Also, the description of the software version suggests that it is not running on Android, but it may be loaded with series 30+ Feature OS like the Nokia 3310 (2017).

The FCC listing has revealed that the dimensions of the phone are 133 x 68mm. It is speculated that it may feature a QWERTY keyboard like the older Nokia E72.

HMD Global is speculated to announce couple of new phones in Q1 next year. Apart from the 4G Nokia feature phone, the Finnish firm is expected to launch other phones such as Nokia 9 flagship, Nokia 6 (2018) and Nokia 8 (2018).

Nokia 9 to Arrive with Dual Selfie Cameras

By

Dec 21, 2017

The FCC listing of the Nokia 9 had revealed that it would be coming with a 5-megapixel selfie camera. However, a leaked render that had surfaced yesterday revealed that the phone features dual selfie cameras. Investigating on the configuration of the frontal camera on its manufacturer’s website has revealed that the Nokia 9 will be indeed arriving with dual front-facing cameras.

According to the FCC documentation of the Nokia 9, it will be featuring a Chicony CKACE16 module for the frontal camera. By checking the specifications of the camera module on the manufacturer site, it can be confirmed that it is a dual camera system. However, the specs page of the camera module carries an image of single sensor. The webpage seems to feature a wrong image for the dual camera sensor.

The Chicony CKACE16 is an autofocus enabled dual camera setup that features an f/2.0 aperture 5-megapixel sensor that carries support for full HD video recording. It also includes another 5-megapixel sensor with f/2.4 aperture.

The leaked render of the Nokia 9 that can be seen above shows the dual selfie camera sitting on its top bezel. The render shows that the smartphone features slim bezels around the display and it lack a front-mounted fingerprint scanner. This suggests that the fingerprint reader could be placed on the back panel of the Nokia 9.

The FCC filing of the smartphone has revealed that it would be featuring a 5.5-inch OLED display that may support 18:9 aspect ratio. The Snapdragon 835 chipset is present under the hood of the phone. It includes UFS 2.1 storage of 128 GB and it will also include a microSD card slot. It will be equipped with 12-megapixel + 13-megapixel dual rear-facing cameras. A 3,250mAh battery equipped with fast charging feature will be powering the Nokia 9. The Geekbench listing of the phone has revealed that it be featuring 6 GB of RAM and Android 8.0 Oreo OS.

The Nokia 9 is speculated to get official on January 19 along with the second-generation edition of the Nokia 8.

Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018), Galaxy A8+ (2018) Lack Pressure-Sensitive Home Button

By

-

Dec 21, 2017

The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones that were launched this year are the first devices by Samsung to feature Infinity Display design. The South Korean company has also brought the Infinity Display design to the newly unveiled Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) phones. Various features such as support for 18.5:9 aspect ratio and rear-mounted fingerprint scanner that are available on the Galaxy S8 duo are also available on the A8 (2018) and A8+ (2018) phones. However, unlike the S8 phones, the A8 (2018) duo lack pressure-sensitive display area at the lower side of the screen that functions as a physical home button.

Since the pressure-sensitive home button is not available on the Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018) smartphones, these phones cannot be unlocked by long pressing on the home button. Hence, users will be able to unlock these phones by pressing the power button.

Users can also unlock the A8 duo by tapping twice on the display for waking up the device since the the Always-On Display (AOD) feature comes enabled on these phones. The other way to unlock the A8 (2018) or A8+ (2018) is by using the fingerprint sensor located the backside of the phone.

There is no official confirmation on why the company decided to axe the pressure-sensitive home button feature on the Galaxy A8 (2018) and Galaxy A8+ (2018). It could be a cost cutting move by the company to make the high-end feature available on flagship phones such as Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+ and Galaxy Note 8.

No Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, Redmi 5 Plus Takes It Place

Dec 20, 2017

In 2014, Xiaomi released the Redmi Note – a bigger and more powerful version of the original Redmi released in 2013. In the following years, each Redmi version has always launched with a “Note” variant. However, that will not be the case for the Redmi 5.

According to a super moderator (mitch002) on the MIUI Forum, Xiaomi will not be releasing a Redmi Note 5. Instead the Redmi Note 4’s successor will be the full-screen Redmi 5 Plus which already launched earlier this month.

Fans have been looking forward to a Redmi Note 5 which is expected to come with the same 5.99-inch FHD+ display as the Redmi 5 Plus but a Snapdragon 660 or at least Snapdragon 630 chipset.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 — Excerpt of Mitch002’s Post on the MIUI Forum

Unfortunately, they will be disappointed to learn that it is the Redmi 5 Plus with the same Snapdragon 625 processor as the Redmi Note 4 (Redmi Note 4X).

Owners of the Nokia 6 can now join Nokia’s Beta Labs program. This is HMD Global’s version of Google’s Android Beta Program which allows them to run beta versions of the OS, in this case Android 8.0 Oreo, before a stable update is pushed out.

Last week when HMD Global opened the program to Nokia 5 owners, its Chief Product Officer, Juho Sarvikas, revealed that the Nokia 6 was next in line.

#Nokia6 is now joining the #AndroidOreo beta. Subscribe to #Nokiamobilebetalabs to get the update and help us to make the official release just right! https://t.co/91uhqstnnm pic.twitter.com/78C0ywtNfa

If you own the Nokia 6 and are interested in joining the Nokia Beta Labs, head to this page and sign up. You should be able to get the beta builds when done.

Nokia’s version of Android is pretty much close to Vanilla with a very few changes to the UI to make it distinct. However, the one sold in China is a little bit different from the global variant.

Google China Rumored to be Working on Wearables as it Expands Rapidly

By

-

Dec 20, 2017

Google China that is situated in the Shanghai World Financial Center in Shanghai had only 20 employees in the previous year. However, with 150 employees this year, the Google China team is expanding rapidly. Fresh information suggests that Google China is working on various kinds of devices including wearables.

There are many smartwatches available in the market that are running on Android Wear OS by Google. However, the search engine giant is yet to launch a smartwatch with its own branding. Speculations are rife that Google China staff could be working on a Pixel Watch. There is a possibility that the company could be working on an entirely different wearable device.

Apart from wearables, Google China is said to be working on devices such as virtual reality (VR) headsets, Pixel phone, smart speaker Home and Pixelbook 2-in-1 notebooks. Since Google China is located close to its supply chain, it is speculated that it could be assigned with prototyping tasks. Even though its division in China is expanding at a quick pace, Google has not confirmed anything on selling its devices in the country.

It was in 2010 that Google had quit the Chinese market completely after it denied censoring the Google Search results in China. Later on, the search engine had also withdrawn the access to Play Store in the country. Earlier reports from this year have claimed that Google is working on bringing a custom-made version of Play Store for Chinese audience by partnering with a domestic company.
