Nokia Express Music delayed to Q3: 18MP, 3D carbon diamond shape

After coming to the smartphone market in MWC, Nokia has raised a lot of anticipation, especially since the brand promised more to come this year. However, there is some bad news: Nokia Express Music, a long awaited phone, has been pushed back to Q3!

Nokia Express Music delayed to Q3: 18MP, 3D carbon diamond shape

There is no doubt that Nokia has had quite a successful comeback, with the introduction of new phones in March at MWC. However, the brand has not revealed any phone that can be considered a flagship yet. Nokia 9 is speculated to be the flagship that Nokia will introduce to the market in June. However, amidst that, one potential flagship has been pushed back to Q3 or even further. The unfortunate phone is the Nokia Express Music.

From what we have information on, Nokia Express Music seems to be made out of metal, and it will have an almost bezel-less 5.2″ Quad HD display. One notable and unique feature is that it has a QWERTY keyboard underneath the screen, which you can slide up to use! At the top left corner of the screen will be the Express Music logo, next to an 8MP camera. The phone’s back is also uniquely designed, with 3D diamond shape patterns. At the back is also an 18MP primary camera.

For other Nokia Express Music specs, it could have a SND 835 chipset under the hood. Alongside that will be 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. It is expected to run on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat OS. Also, there would be one special accessory going along when you purchase the phone, which is a limited edition red and black headphone. It is also decorated with diamond shapes, which matches perfectly with the phone. Sadly, all of this has been pushed back to at least Q3 this year.

Nokia Express Music delayed: Wait for Nokia 9 instead!

With Nokia Express Music delayed, Nokia 9 seems to be the only flagship in the near future for the Finnish brand. It is a shame, but that is beyond our control. What do you think of Nokia Express Music?

Nokia has promised more to come for this year, and reports have mentioned Nokia 9 as the flagship. Now, another flagship may also be coming, with the name Nokia Swan.

There have been quite a few reports recently about a new flagship coming from Nokia, with the name Nokia Swan. According to those reports, this new Nokia phone will be a hybrid between a smartphone and a tablet! Nokia Swan specs seems amazing as well, with an octa-core CPU, with the chipset likely to be the latest SND 835. Alongside that will be 4GB of RAM, so performance should not be an issue with this device. The new device also offers 128GB of internal storage, which is quite plenty!

Nokia 8 intro video leaked!

There have been a lot of words about the Nokia 9, the supposedly flagship from the Finnish company. However, Nokia 8 is also gathering attention, with the recent Nokia 8 intro video having been leaked!

Nokia 8 intro video leaked!

After all the hype about Nokia 9 (there were leaked render and concepts based on that), now is the time for news about Nokia 8. This time it is a whole Nokia 8 intro video being leaked! It is about a new Nokia 8 render. The author of this one is Concept Creator, and the design stays true to what we have known so far about the phone. With Nokia 9, it felt like a rectangular Galaxy S8, but this Nokia 8 will be a bit different from that.

First is the camera area. We can see that the flash and fingerprint scanner is grouped together in a module, and are covered with glass. The phone shape is still rectangular, made of mostly glass metal. However, this design does not follow recent trends, as there is still a physical home button at the front. At the back, there is a dual lens camera. The screen is what we expected, very immersive and almost bezel-less. The phone looks quite thin, and the back seems to be covered with plastic, not metal. You can see the Nokia 8 intro video below.

The designer did not mention any specs. However, with what we know so far, Nokia 8 specs would be like those of the upper mid-range phones. Many people confuse this with Nokia 9, which has SND 835 processor. In reality, it may only have the latest SND 6xx chipset, or maybe SND 820/821. It is expected to have 4 to 6GB RAM, plua a huge battery and, of course, Carl Zeiss camera. Regardless of that, the specs are still quite impressive.

Nokia 8: Another trump card of Nokia

With all that said, Nokia 8 could be another trump card from the Finnish company this year. Hopefully when it is released, it will manage to awed everyone of us. Are you excited for the phone?

Nokia so far has made quite the headlines in 2017. In its comeback, there were quite a number of phones, and even more coming this year. For further innovation, Nokia will cooperate with other companies, and some Chinese ones are among Nokia partners!

Nokia partners

Nokia partners with Chinese companies for innovation

Recently, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Finland. There, an innovation partnership was signed with Sauli Niinisto, the Finnish President. This agreement has greatly opened up vast opportunities for a lot of partnership, especially in the eyes of Nokia head Risto Siilasmaa. As part of the agreement, a Sino-Finnish innovation council will be created. The purpose of this is to guide and promote business cooperation on innovation, exploring opportunities and giving advice regarding policies.

Mr. Siilasmaa, as Chairman of the Finnish IT giant Nokia, has been chosen to lead the Finnish group in the council. In this council, each country will nominate players (companies) to be representatives. Mr. Siilasmaa said that he hoped to get some of his old friends from Chinese technology companies to be Nokia partners. The list of members from the China side has not been revealed yet, but Siilasmaa has specified some people he would like to work with. Some of them are Jack Ma, Pony Ma, Lei Jun, and Robin Li, who are, respectively, the heads of Alibaba, Tencent, Xiaomi and Baidu.

Nokia partners

In the past, Siilasmaa has been on the same panel discussion with those figures, and would very much love to work with them again. The council will strive to work towards achieving common goals between the two nations. Not many details have been shared, but it is hinted as some common problems humanity faces. He also shared that this partnership would be very beneficial, since each country has their own strengths and weaknesses regarding innovation. It can be inferred that in the future, more Nokia partners would be from China.

Nokia partners with Chinese companies: For the better good

Hopefully, Nokia can use this new agreement to good use. They are doing very well with the comeback of the Nokia smartphone brand, and with new Nokia partners, they can strengthen their position even more. What do you think of this partnership?

HTC U beast to have IP57 certification, dual-SIM

We have already written some nice articles about this phone called the U model, the HTC U beast will be the best ever manufactured by the company. Read the full article for more details.

HTC U beast

HTC U beast to have IP57 certification?

The HTC U beast is a phone that the company is expecting to strengthen its position in the smartphone industry. HTC offers great smartphones with excellent features, but the problem is that people have been complaining so much that its devices are so costly. Let us tell you a little bit about e of its smartphones that recently launched ( HTC U-Play and HTC U Ultra). These phones were launched since January 2017, the U Ultra seems to be more premium as it comes with a 4GB RAM, 3000mAH battery and runs on Android 7.1 (Nougat).

Why we said this, it’s because of its cost, the HTC U Ultra price starts from Rs. 59,990 in India, and it can be more than this for the bigger storage variant. The phone only offers a 64GB and 128GB variants with an expandable storage of 256GB via microSD. We hope the HTC U beast comes cheap because other competitors like Nokia and Xiaomi are manufacturing crazy phones with a very affordable price. For the HTC U specs, there will be waterproof (IP57) rating, this means that the phone will resist both dust and water.

HTC U beast

With this technology, you can let your phone take a good bath for 30 minutes, haha, so nice. The company has also decided to remove the 3.5mm headset jack from this device too, following a similar move for the U Ultra. It will have a screen size of 5.5-inch and powered by an SDN 835. The HTC U cameras will sport a 12MP primary and 16MP secondary shooter. The phone will run on Android 7.1, we don’t know yet the battery capacity it will offer.

HTC U beast: Price and availability?

The HTC U price is not also revealed yet, let’s all hope the company says something about this soon. The U is expected to become official by the end of this month.

Nokia to Bring 5G Technology to India?

This year marks a real comeback of the legendary Nokia. Besides its Android phones, Nokia is working with top companies in India to bring 5G technology to the country.

Nokia to bring 5G technology to India: a faster solution!

As we all know, the fastest internet option now is the “fourth generation” or 4G technology. The strongest 4G LTE allows you to download everything at the speed of 50mbps. While 4G is not used around the world on a wide scale, Nokia is aiming to bring the next 5G to India. Nokia will join hands with top Indian telcos to improve the current internet connection here. Let’s see if India is going to be the first country with 5G technology!

In fact, internet users in India haven’t had good experience of fast connection. It was noted that over one billion Indian people were stuck with 2G during 2016. This number is equal to 90% of mobile users. A brighter change is coming after network carriers in India were criticized for the poor internet technology. Remarkably, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between Nokia and 2 top Indian telcos (Airtel and BSNL). Network infrastructure in India will be improved as a new effort to support 5G.

5G technology

The new 5G technology will come into reality in 4 or 5 years. This should be done with better infrastructure, preparations, processes and observations. Nokia is trying so hard to improve user experience in India. If they are successful, downloading will only take seconds instead of minutes to hours. Then, web page loading will go 30 to 50 times faster. This is compared to our latest 4G, not to mention the 2G in India.

Nokia to bring 5G technology: good for both network users and carriers!

Internet users in India will see incredible changes in their lives. Besides entertainment, 5G connection will help other technologies such as self-driving and remote surgery. As for network carriers, with the help of Nokia, they are starting to upgrade technology infrastructure soon.
