iPhone 2016 is one of the smartphones having so many stories so far. However, this iPhone may not be as impressive as we thought. Because this is not the Apple upgrade year.

iPhone 2016: don’t expect too much

Everyone is expecting to see the next generation of iPhone from Apple, especially the iPhone’s fans. This iPhone 2016 is expected to have many new features like dual camera, water resistance, and non-physical home button. However, you shouldn’t expect too much in this new product. According to Wall Street Journal, this US company will go with the traditional iPhone cycle of 2 years. That means the new iPhone launched on this year won’t have anything special compared to iPhone 6s.

iPhone 2016 is believed to remain the same feature as its predecessor. It will sport a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch display. The difference we might gonna see in this new iPhone is the remove of a headphone jack. This elimination will make the device even thinner. Instead of that, there will be a Lightning-to-3.5mm connector. Lenovo’s new Moto Z has the same connector. One more noticeable feature you will see on this phone is its water-resistant improvement.

With the upgrade cycle, the 2017’s smartphone is gonna be amazing. So, you might ask that why release a new one on this year. Well, this is probably because Apple will have the higher sales on the holiday. Or maybe the company plans to spare something special to 2017. This year is the 10-year anniversary of iPhone, so it just can’t be iPhone 7. Something particularly extraordinary will come out.

iPhone 2016: release date

So, 2017 is the year of iPhone which we’re all waiting for. Despite that, iPhone 2016 is still one of the most expecting smartphones at this time. So, all we need to do is wait until the day it’s launched. iPhone 7 launch is said to be in the early September. Let’s see what this new product brings us!

You may think 1 second is nothing. You can’t do anything in just this time. You might want to think again. Because there’re many things happen on the Internet for just 1 second. 

Tons of things on the Internet in 1s

1 second is a small unit of time. What can you do in just 1 second? Not much, right? You can’t wear a T-shirt, eat a tiny cake, or take off your shoes in just one second. However, you may be surprised to know that there’re many things that can happen in that time.

According to Motherboard, there are about 3.4 billion (about 46.1% world population) which can access the Internet. While in 5 years ago, this number was just 31.8%. You can easily see that the popularity of the Internet has increased dramatically in the last 5 years. Averagely, an adult will spend about 20 hours per week for getting online. For a teenager, it’s more with 27 hours/week. Researchers predict that these numbers will continue rising fastly in the next few years.

So, what do billions of people do on the Internet. Well, they do a lot, according to a statistical website – internetlivestats.

Compared to now, there’re about a billion websites with 3.4 billion users. And one worth noticing is that the Internet just covers half of the world. So, in the next couple years, these numbers will increase critically and the unit of time, instead of second, will be nano second.

It looks like BlackBerry is working with TCL/Alcatel to release a new smartphone – BlackBerry Hamburg. There are some hints that this new phone is actually Alcatel Idol 4. Let’s take a look!

BlackBerry Hamburg – A rebranded version of Alcatel Idol 4?

There are 3 main reasons why BlackBerry Hamburg is thought to be Alcatel Idol 4. First of all, John Chen, the CEO of BlackBerry once announced that “The brand is at the point of optimization. We are no longer producing hardware. Instead, we are now a hardware designing company. I love designing them, not manufacturing them.” A little remind you that BlackBerry used to sign with Foxconn, a multinational electronics contract manufacturing company, to produce their upcoming smartphones. But because of some unknown reasons, BlackBerry switched for another partner.

The second reason is that Wifi Alliance – a Wifi certification company, has certified a device named DTEK-50 from TCL, which runs Android 6.0. DTEK is an exclusive application for BlackBerry. The app, which protects users’ privacy and security, was featured in BlackBerry Priv. The third reason is that this new phone of TCL is coded STH100-2. Don’t you find it familiar? If not, let me remind you: the code name of BlackBerry Priv is STV100-1. Enough hints yet?

If BlackBerry Hamburg is actually Alcatel Idol 4, the phone will come with nice specs. BlackBerry Hamburg will sport a 5.2-inch full HD screen. To take care of the performance, there will be a powerful CPU including SnapDragon 617 chipset and 3GB RAM. Besides, the phone will house 16GB of internal memory. For photography, there will be a 13MP camera on the back. And the phone will be fueled by a 2610mAh battery.

BlackBerry Hamburg – Price and availability

While BlackBerry Priv is aimed at the high-end users with a very high price, their new phone – BlackBerry Hamburg will attack the mid-end market segment to attract more customers. BlackBerry Hamburg price is expected to be around $400. As for BlackBerry Hamburg release date, the phone may make a debut in Q4 of this year.

Along with some gorgeous smartphones, there are some phones with …horrible designs. Now, we give you the weirdest mobile phones ever. Some are (thank god) never seen today, but the rest has actually hit the shelves!

1. Mobile Script phone concept & Chamelephone

First up on our list, we’ll show you the weirdest phone ever: Mobile Script. The device comes with a special design that you will never see on another smartphone. This device is the longest cell phone concept we’ve ever seen, making us remember one of the iPhone models last year. Mobile Script can change its size thanks to a flexible OLED screen. Especially, it is impressive with new charging technology, which can charge from solar energy. Wow!

The next weirdest phone on our list has also the weirdest name: Chamelephone. The Chamelephone has the ability to automatically change its colour and shape to the same with an object you place it on. Seems like a good idea, right? We do have to admit, the full touchscreen device does have a certain appeal, but only if it comes with a homing beacon, just in case.

Windows doesn’t seem as popular as Android in the current smartphone market. However, the OS from Microsoft still spots a stable position. Here are the 4 reasons why Windows phones are still worth buying!

Windows phones: Strong performance and professional interface

First, Windows phones come with a great performance. There is no denying that with the same RAM, the Windows phone performs smoother than the Android phone. Mostly, an Android device has to feature at least 2GB RAM to offer a seamless performance. Meanwhile, only with 1GB of RAM, a Windows phone can offer the same thing! Nokia Lumia 925 is a perfect example! You don’t need any system-boosting apps or any cached-cleaning extensions!

Second, Windows phones have a professional interface. If you are confused by different icons and gadgets in Android phones, Windows will be a perfect choice for you. Every apps and features in Windows phone come with the same design called “tile”. You may say that it’s boring to have the same interface over and over, but actually this Microsoft OS is flexible as well! There are countless color themes for you to choose or you can even set your favorite photo as the background of the tiles. The tiles in particular are also very abundant. There are many apps for you to design the tiles you want instead of using the default tiles.

Third, Windows phones are very compatible with your PCs or laptops. Most PCs and laptops nowadays also run Windows . And that makes it easier to synchronize the files from your phone to your laptop, especially the documents. Windows phones also feature many useful apps for office tasks, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Powerpoint, Onedrive and more!

Windows phone: better security!

One more thing that makes Windows phone a great choice is the security. Such smartphones RARELY encounter virus. On the other hand, we all know that this problem often happens to Android or iOs. So if you use Windows phone, it is less challenging for you to protect your phone from virus or hacker.
