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.

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!

Nokia Edge 3D trailer is finally here! The phone looks beautiful and better than ever. Check out the article for more details.

Nokia Edge 3D trailer: Stunning design

A fresh video of Nokia Edge has been spotted recently. The phone design belongs to Techconfigurations, and it is absolutely beautiful. It looks even better than most flagships these days. The device has the typical metal build and a curved glass panel upfront. The dual front speakers are also a nice touch, especially since the Galaxy S8 won’t have that. The back side also curves at the edges, much like the Galaxy S7 and Note 7. The specs are pretty solid too. Nokia Edge will have a 5.7″ 2K AMOLED screen, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Under the hood is 6GB of RAM and a quad-core processor. The Snapdragon 835 is an octa-core, so this phone will probably use another chip. Maybe Nokia will make its own processor like what Xiaomi and Huawei are doing. But it’s just a wild guess. On the back panel, we also get a 24 megapixel main camera, with 4K video recording and OIS, plus a 12 MP selfie shooter with built-in retina scanner. The back camera is quite protruded, but it still looks nice.

Other features include a non-removable battery of unknown capacity and fast battery charging technology. The phone also supports USB Type-C and expandable storage up to 256GB. Luckily enough, Nokia Edge will still have a 3.5mm audio jack on the top. The phone will run on the latest Android 7.0 version out of the box.

Nokia refuse to answer any question about their future products. However, we know for sure that a new Nokia flagship will come this June. It could be the Nokia Edge or any other high-end device from Nokia like Nokia 8 or Nokia 9. So now, sit back and keep your finger crossed.
