Nokia seems to never fail to make us curious about their comeback. Lately, in another source, Nokia D1C has been reclaimed to be a smartphone rather than a tablet like the previous leak in GFXBench. So, which is the truth about this mysterious handset?

Nokia D1C: a tablet or a smartphone?

Just so you know, Nokia D1C was spotted on GeekBench and AnTuTu with several specs. But no information to answer whether it is a smartphone or a tablet. Not so long after that, GFXBench revealed the evidence to prove that the potential upcoming device is a tablet with a 13.8-inch display. The netizens still do not absorb the disclosure completely, but now continue to receive another one. According to this source, Nokia D1C is expected to be a smartphone with just 4.8 inch in screen size.

About other Nokia D1C specs, we would like to round up some details for you. The handset is likely to be powered by 1.4 GHz Snapdragron 430 Processor along with Adreno 505 GPU. It will feature 3GB RAM and be available in two variants in terms of internal storage: 16GB and 32GB. The device might be equipped with out of the box Android Nougat 7.0. Whether it is a tablet or a smartphone, Nokia D1C is expected to come with 1080 display, or we can say full HD resolution.

Regarding Nokia D1C camera, it is hoped not to disappoint users. The combination of 15MP or 16MP rear camera with 8MP in the snapper will be integrated in this new handset.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge exploded: 2 cases with huge losses

Recently, there is a case in which the Samsung flagship – Galaxy S7 Edge exploded when it was charging. The man – the owner of the exploded Galaxy S7 Edge, is living in the US. After announced the incident to Samsung, the man asked for anonymity. From what this user unveiled, his Galaxy S7 Edge exploded while charging in the mid-night, with OEM charger (the official accessory from Samsung).

It is worth to mentioned here: the man in this incident used to be Galaxy Note 7’s owner. When Samsung recalls the “error Note 7”, he decided to exchange to the “Safe Galaxy Note 7″.  However, two weeks ago, when the ” Safe Note7′ exploded again, he got the Galaxy S7 Edge for the replacement from Samsung. As you see, after a long journey, the Galaxy S7 Edge finally exploded like its sibling. Although the explosion doesn’t affect his health, we don’t believe that the man will use Samsung smartphone again. 

Especially, this isn’t the first time we heard the bad new of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. In September, there is a case in which the Galaxy S7 Edge exploded and causes third-degree burn for the owner. The victim is a constructor named Ohio. The phone exploded in his pants and after that, he had to undergo painful skin grafts. In both incidents mentioned above, the Samsung phone was confirmed to be charged with original chargers.

Not only Samsung, some other big brands also got the same situations when their smartphone exploded with “unknown reasons”. For instance, an Apple iPhone 7 exploded and destroyed the owner’s car. Hence, every smartphone maker must concentrate on security checking process if they don’t want to be boycotted by consumers.

Mobile Star – the supplier of fake Apple chargers

According to Apple, the devices which are being sold on Amazon are not the genuine Apple products. They bought those charging components themselves to check the authenticity of those. After careful inspections, the company has come to the conclusion that 90% of their charging accessories on Amazon are counterfeit. Apple decided to publicize the information to all customers in order to warn them.

To explain for this issue, Amazon told Apple that the fake devices were supplied by the third party called Mobile Star. This is a New Jersey company, which was claimed to be the culprit in the whole counterfeit goods. Apple is filing a lawsuit against this company. According to Apple, the inauthenticity might cause acute consequences to users’ health. They pose a significant risk of overheating, fire, and electrical shock.

Especially a 23-year-old women was killed when she answered a call on her iPhone 5. After such scandals, Apple proceeded to exchange all bad quality chargers and cables to high quality ones produced by themselves.

Apple chargers: be a smart consumer!

Apple is worrying that some of their customers might buy such counterfeit devices on Amazon. That’s the reason why they want to warn everybody so as to help them not to waste money and avoid health problems. It is always far better when buying any electrical devices from their manufactures.
