Nokia impressed everyone at MWC 2017 their smartphones. However, they still have a whole new set of upcoming Nokia Android phones to release in the near future.

1. Nokia E1

The phone was spotted a while ago and seems to be a price-friendly device. A worker from a Nokia factory took a picture of the phone and leaked on the internet. In terms of Nokia E1 specs, it features a 5.2″ HD display, along with a Snapdragon 1.4GHz quad-core and Adreno 308 under the hood. The phone offers 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. No information about external storage is available right now, but we suspect it will have a microSD slot.

The device is mounted with a 13MP back camera with autofocus and LED flash, capable of recording 1080p@30fps videos. Meanwhile, the front camera is 5MP. Nokia E1 will come in two color options: Black and White. Nokia E1 price is not yet announced, but we expect it to be cheaper than Nokia 3.

Attention iPhone fans: According to a rumor, Apple won’t equip its upcoming iPhone 8 with Touch ID, but it will come with a 3D camera instead. This will enable facial recognition and basic AR applications! Let’s read on…

Apple iPhone 8 to feature 3D camera?

The successor of iPhone 7 will possibly receive a 3D camera technology on the front which completely replaces the touch ID, as Apple calls it, the fingerprint sensor in the home button. Because of the smaller space requirement of the remaining technology, the battery is likely to come in an L shape About 2700 mAh of capacity would be possible. For comparison, the current iPhone 7 with 4.7 inches has only a 1960 mAh battery.

Also, this new camera will be able to support Augmented Reality (AR). Apple has expressed his interest in Augmented Reality several times. A report says that a group of 1000 engineers is already working on AR technology for iPhones at an Apple laboratory in Israel. The new iPhone 8 could be the first product with AR functionality.

The company had already taken over the company PrimeSense from Israel in 2013. PrimeSense is a specialist in 3D sensor technology which was already used in Microsoft’s Xbox product Kinect. What do you think? A 3D camera on the front would be really innovative. However, the production of this camera technology would be so complex that this could lead to a delayed iPhone 8 sales start.

Apple iPhone 8 to feature 3D camera?

If these rumors are true, the upcoming iPhone 8 could be a very big hit on the market! We are very excited about the new Apple Phone and loiking forward to it. Let’s wait and see. Stay tuned, we will keep you updated. Follow our page for more information about smartphones.

It is also cheap enough to have as a backup handset with basic cellular and gaming support. But make no mistake, most Nokia loyal fans are still waiting for a real flagship killer from their beloved brand. Nokia heard it, and they are doing their best to make it happens. A Nokia flagship is expected to be out around June, according to fresh gossip from China. This also should be the right time when the Snapdragon 835 problems are settled.

However, no one knows the real name of this mysterious device yet. Rumor has it the unnamed smartphone will come in two variants with a big and small screen respectively. It will also offers 4GB and 6GB RAM options, with a back camera of at least 23MP. The phone may even have a dual camera setup on the back like most flagships these days. The phone design will be a full metal jacket, and 4000+ Yuan ~ $580+ starting price for the small screen version. As for the big screen model, it will cost around 4500+ Yuan ~ $650.

For the cameras, this new Nokia flagship is reported to dropped the Carl Zeiss lense due to some legal issues. Nokia has not confirmed it yet. However, Nokia Mobile stressed on Twitter that “we’ve only just begun”, leaving the door open for any and all speculation.

As of now, Nokia is unwilling to reveal any specifics on its other devices. The only statement we’ve got from them is “more announcements coming in 2017.” So, what is your opinion about this flagship? Will you wait for it or just go with Nokia 6 for now?

During that event, the companies (MHD Global and Nokia) presented to their people and their fan more Nokia’s next phones which are the Nokia 3, the Nokia 5 and the Nokia 3310.

HMD Global is the new license owner and manufacturer of Nokia’s next phones and that’s the reason why it is planning to remove the Carl Zeiss Optics.

A new Nokia design concept has appeared again. This time it’s the Nokia 1. Will this be the cheapest Android phone from Nokia?

Nokia 1 leaked: Is this real?

Nokia released three new smartphones and one feature phone at MWC this year. There were also sources indicating that the flagships Nokia 8 and Nokia 9 are under development. Today, a new device from Nokia has appeared on the internet. This time, it was a design from Concept Creator, the person behind many recent Nokia designs. According to him, Nokia 1 slightly resembles the feature Nokia 230, but this time it’s a smartphone. As the name suggests, many assume that Nokia 1 will be the cheapest Android device that Nokia has ever made. However, there is some contradicting information about it.

Nokia 1 seems to have curved edges, which would make it a lot easier to hold in one hand than the Nokia 6. On the back of the phone, there’s a slightly protruded  camera with dual-LED flash. It seems that Nokia 1 also has a fingerprint scanner mounted on the back. On the front panel, there’s another camera with LED flash. There’s no information about the display, but we expect it to be around 5″ HD (it may be different depends on the phone price tag).

From the video, we can see that Nokia 1 will come in three color options: red, blue and black. However, there’s no further information about the specs so far. But if this phone targets the low-end market, we could see somewhat similar specs to the Nokia 3. If not, the phone may come with higher specs and target the mid-range buyers.

Nokia 1 leaked: What do you think?

Keep in mind that everything so far is still not confirmed by Nokia yet. So if you want to see this smartphone in the near future, make sure to let everyone knows your opinion about it. And stay tuned for more awesome news!

Google seems to be planning to ditch the headphone jack from its upcoming flagships, the Google Pixels 2. Read the full article for more details…

No headphone jack on Google Pixels!

The next technology Google is trying to put to its Google Pixels 2 will definitely blow your mind, it is not copying Apple, but is also removing te headphone jack. The next Google Pixels which said to be Google next biggest thing will come with its own wireless earphones. This idea was actually developed in order to bring more features to these next beasts, Remeber that Google said few months that it was in the game to take Apple customers and all fans.

This means Apple need to be more creative and develop better iPhones which will have some Authentic look. However, the competition between Apple and Google is just starting, both companies working so hard in order to deliver something that will excite fans. Here is what reports are also saying “2017 version of Google’s Pixel phone will drop the standard 3.5mm headphone jack”. As we just said, it is all happening because of the features the company is trying to add to the next Pixel 2 phones.

Why Google would want to ditch the headphone jack: Easier waterproofing. The biggest knock against the Pixel is that it isn’t water-resistant. A denser design. While a standard headphone jack isn’t exactly huge when phone thickness is measured in millimeters, every bit of space counts. The world is increasingly wireless. Sales of wireless headphones are going nowhere but up.

No headphone jack on Google Pixel 2!

We believe that this is a good idea as the company is innovating for its users. Seeing a Google phone which is waterproof or dust resistant will be a great thing, and this can make the company stand against its competitors ( Samsung and Apple). Let us know what you think about this innovation.

The Nintendo Switch has been long anticipated by fans since it was first announced. The console finally launched on March 3, and it has since then become the fastest selling console for Nintendo in the first 2 days!

Switch is Nintendo’s fastest selling console for first 2 days!

The Nintendo Switch has been out for a few days already, since March 3. If you have had a hard time buying the new Nintendo console at a store recently, there may be a good reason for that. New York Times’ Nick Wingfield has reported that the Switch sale between Friday – Saturday has surpassed the first 2-day sale for any previous console in the history of Nintendo, making Switch the fastest seeling console in the first 2 days. This information came from an interview with Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo America. Remember, the first batch of Switch were sold out pretty quickly.

Also, from that same interview, more interesting information regarding the launch of the Switch console are obtained. Besides Switch being the fastest selling console in 2 days, we also know that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the best launch title in Nintendo’s history. It has managed to beat out Super Mario 64’s record for the Nintendo 64. This is remarkable, since it is a standalone game, not pack-in with the console like Wii U’s Nintendo Land mini games collection. You can read about the first look of the new Zelda game here.

It is still too early to tel whether the Switch will be a big hit for Nintendo or not, or even compare it to the company’s last success device – the Wii. However, with this initial success of being the fastest selling console of Nintendo, the future looks good for this new device. It is more amazing that the typical console is usually launched in November. This is proof that people will buy a console whenever they want, as long as it is worth doing so.

Nintendo Switch: The future is bright

With the Switch doing so well initially, Nintendo surely can look forward to a good future with this home console. The Nintendo Switch price is now $299. Are you going to buy a Switch?
