Samsung Galaxy S8 has just been launched. Almost immediately, it got a lot of praises, and also has some small problems. Besides great specs of a flagship, there is a hidden feature that went unnoticed with this phone: the Galaxy S8 Bluetooth 5.0!

Galaxy S8 Bluetooth 5.0: A hidden feature

Samsung Galaxy S8 (and its bigger sibling Galaxy S8+) has managed to turn heads left and right. Almost everything about the new phones is awesome, and highly appreciated. However, there is probably one feature that many may have ignored when hearing about this new phone: the Galaxy S8 is the first phone in the world to support Bluetooth 5.0. With recent phones, you are likely to have iterations of the Bluetooth 4.0 (4.1, 4.2), which are essentially improved version of Bluetooth. Now that we have a whole new number, let’s see what is the big deal about it!

Usually, even on Bluetooth 4.0, the biggest problem is the pairing time with other devices. The pairing process has always been an annoyance with Bluetooth connection, as it is not always reliable, and may take a lot of time. However, that can now be fixed with Galaxy S8 Bluetooth 5.0, as it now has double the speed of version 4.0, and its upgraded versions. It can now transmit 800% more data! More speed will also mean less delay, even when you are watching a video via Bluetooth connection. This new speed improvement is surely a big plus to use Bluetooth now!

What is even more impressive is the range of the connection on Galaxy S8 Bluetooth 5.0. The nearer two Bluetooth devices are, the faster the connection, and range is not always Bluetooth’s strength. However, now with Bluetooth 5.0, its range is now extended, and two devices can be as far as 200 meters apart to connect (provided with no obstruction). For normal use, it is now usable in a radius about 40 meters around you. Then, there is this ultimate feature exclusively on the Galaxy S8 for now: by using Bluetooth 5.0, it enables dual audio, allowing the phone to connect to two different speakers/headsets at the same time. That’s amazing!

Galaxy S8 Bluetooth 5.0: A valuable upgrade

With this new upgrade, now you can listen to music with your friend more easily. One more aspect Samsung has done really well for the new Galaxy S8. Do you plan to buy the phone?

The Call of Duty franchise is very popular. However, the latest game, Infinite Warfare, has not been doing so well. Activision has already begun working on the next title, Call of Duty WWII, and it will be announced on April 27!

Call of Duty WWII to be announced on April 27!

The next installment of the very famous FPS game, Call of Duty, is going to be announced on April 27 by Activision. Named Call of Duty WWII, the game announcement will be livestreamed. Fitting with previous speculations, the setting of this Call of Duty installment will be World War 2 (WWII). Sales of the last game was one reason, but many speculate that the main reason was Battlefield 1’s massive success, which is its main competitor. You can see more at the game’s website here.

For this game, developer Sledgehammer Games choose the war some time after Battlefield 1, WWI. It has been recorded as the biggest and most bloody war in human history. The setting has always inspired game developers for their games. There a still many events yet to be covered in many forms of media. Also, with the advance of design technology, it is also expected that players will be able to experience the game in the realest way possible, by stepping in the shoes of soldiers, and be able to see the battlefields all across Europe during that time.

According to previous reports, Call of Duty WWII is supposed to launch late this year, on November 3. It will be available on all platforms like PS4, Xbox One, and PC. However, those are still speculations at best, and we need to wait for the official announcement from Activision (maybe all will be revealed on April 27). Hopefully, Activision and Sledgehammer Games will be able to wow us with at least a trailer for this upcoming game!

Call of Duty WWII: CoD’s comeback?

With the impending announcement, all eyes now are on the new CoD game. Hopefully this game will once again bring glory to the franchise. Are you excited for this game?

In fact, Nokia became the mastermind of the phone industry when it launched the first model of 3310, this phone was praised as the most powerful and best phone at that time.

The pre-sale of the new Nokia 3310 has already started for the 2G variant which will cost 49 Euro. Based on what the report stated online, this new phone is supposed to be 49 Euro everywhere, but there are more you need to understand the reason why its a bit expensive in other countries like Germany and Austria. This may be because of the tax charges and other situations like the cost of shipment.

The Nokia 3310 price for fans in Germany will cost 69.9 Euro and 59 Euro for other fans in Austria. So you just have to mind that you will be getting this new 3310 starting on April 28. But Sweden’s Inet takes the cake, though, at 899 kr for a 3G version of a device that HMD Global has not yet made us aware of. That’s the equivalent of €93. And we don’t have anything more specific than an “early May” launch frame.

New Nokia 3310 for fans?

Nokia has already made its comeback this year, and people are hype for what is coming next from the Finnish company. Before official words, we have the final Nokia 9 render based from the leaks so far!

Final Nokia 9 render based on leaks!

The Nokia 9 is surely the most anticipated phone from Nokia this year. It is expected to be the Nokia flagship, said to rival those from Samsung, Google and Apple. There has been some leaks of what the phone could look like in the past. Now, Concept Creator, the famous render maker, has put all those leaked details together, to give us a Nokia 9 render from what we have known, and it looks excellent. You will be sure to have a lot of Galaxy S8 vibe from this!

From the start, the camera design is among the sleekest that can be seen from phones, especially from Nokia. The phone comes with an extremely narrow screen, with its back having glass cover. It follows the trend of flagships having almost to all-screen front. There are also some curved corners, similar to those of LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8. Also about the camera, it seems that there is dual-tone flash for the dual camera, as well as laser focus mechanics.

Right below the camera is the fingerprint scanner, which seems quite longer versus that of the Galaxy S8. It seems to be in a more comfortable position that that of the Galaxy S8 as well. The camera has huge expectations from fans, since it will still be a Carl Zeiss lens doing the work, and we know the quality of that. Also, all Nokia designs lately have given off the vibe of the old Lumia approach.

Nokia 9 render: Beautifully done!

This is yet another beautiful Nokia 9 render. Hopefully, when the phone comes around, it will be able to wow everyone. Are you looking forward to the Nokia 9?

Samsung Galaxy S8 has been launched recently, and it has received numerous praises. However, right after that, some people experience the Galaxy S8 Red Tint display problem. Here’s how to fix it!

Galaxy S8 Red Tint: How to fix it

Since launch, there are many images of Galaxy S8 Red Tint display problem surfacing online. This is an unfortunate event for the new Samsung devices, which has just been launched recently. Responding to the problem, the company has made a statement about the problem. Samsung stressed that the problem is not the result of poor quality of the phones, and also provided a way to fix it. In the event that the issue is still not fixed after following the instructions, users can bring the device to Samsung customer service for further assistance.

The issue first came to light on April 17, the launch date of the S8/S8+ duo in its home country, South Korea. Some users posted images of the red-tinted screen of the galaxy S8 devices online. Since then, Samsung has revealed the way to fix the problem, and also provide additional support, so that did not seem like a big problem. However, some speculated that it may be a manufacturing error concerning faulty chips, causing the failure of the GPU. Others thought that the 18.5:9 ratio on the screen is the main culprit.

Anyway, if you happen to have the Galaxy S8 Red Tint problem, just do the following to fix the issue. In order to get rid of the annoying red tint, you just need to adjust the White Point and Color Balance options in the Display Settings. The settings allow users to make the display reddish or bluish. Also, the Night Shift Blue Light Filter option may also be the cause of your screen looking red! The directory to go through is Settings > Display > Screen Mode > Color Balance.

Galaxy S8 Red Tint issue: Not a big problem

For now, only some rare cases have encountered this Galaxy S8 Red Tint problem. It is unlikely a widespread problem, so it is highly unlikely that your new S8/S8+ is affected. If it does, follow the steps above to fix it.

HTC has been releasing a series of flagships. These high-end smartphones come with both a stunning design and amazing features. HTC U 11 will join this segment soon…

HTC U 11 specs and features?

You may have also heard about the HTC U Ocean to launch very soon. In fact, the device was only codenamed Ocean. And HTC U begins the names of other flagships such as HTC U Ultra and HTC U Play. Therefore, leakers must have combined the names. On the other hand, some said the phone should be HTC 11 to follow last year’s HTC 10. Others expected it to be HTC U. Anyway, this upcoming HTC flagship could feature a frame which can be squeezed for certain actions.

Finally, the next HTC flagship turns out to have neither of the names above. “The phone will actually end up being called HTC U 11”. It is like when you don’t know which one to choose and end up getting the combination of both. Recent leaks said the phone would come with a 5.5-inch QHD touchscreen. This means it will feature a stunning 2K display.

The HTC phone is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. Internal storage may vary from 64GB to 128GB, which is very impressive since not many phones pack such a huge ROM. Most of them have standard internal storage that can be expanded via microSD card slot. In terms of photography, HTC U 11 cameras are powerful enough with a 12MP main shooter and a 16MP selfie snapper. This once again lists the phone among few flagships with a 16MP front camera. The new HTC device will surely run Android 7.1 Nougat.

HTC U11 price and availability?

HTC U 11 will come in 5 colors, including white, black, blue, red, and silver. Different colors will be available in different regions. HTC U 11 is expected to come next month on May 16. HTC U 11 is still in silence. Maybe it is too early for HTC to say more about its next flagship.

Nokia is coming back strong this year! Finnish start-up HMD Global, which secured the Nokia brand license, has big plans for the brand with next Nokia phones. Let’s read on to find more out about it…

Next Nokia phones will hit the mid-range market

Finnish company named HMD Global has the rights to produce and sell mobile devices under Nokia’s brand for the next 10 years. Especially, in India they want to hit the shelves with the next Nokia phones! But, why they want to target India? HMD Mobile India vice president Ajey Mehta said in an interview: “Our studies have shown that the Nokia brand has 95% brand awareness and recall in India. We are confident of making a big comeback.”

The Finnish start-up HMD Global plans to expand the number of distributors up to 400 across the country and establish 300 service centers. Furthermore, the company targets the Indian market with next Nokia phones which are backed up by Android OS such as the recently released Nokia Trio and the revived Nokia 3310. These mobile phones are expected to be launched in India by June end! Get ready for this, friends!

Another plan from HMD Global is to hit the mid-range market and to compete with market leaders like Huawei, OnePlus, OPPO and Xiaomi. And they could be successful with their next Nokia phones! It is proven that Nokia is still popular all over the world through the launch of Nokia 6 in China: incredible 250000 units were pre-ordered in less than 24 hours!
