Nubia X Ditches Notch, Front Cameras With Second Display on The Back

While most phone makers are now focusing their resources on the development of slider mechanisms (seen on the Mi Mix 3, Honor Magic 2) to avoid the notch trend, Nubia has gone a totally different direction

Specs and Features

Launched today in China, Nubia X is the company’s latest smartphone and it has dual displays and no front-facing cameras. Nubia has opted to add two screens on its device, the main screen on the front and a secondary screen on the rear panel, to avoid the widespread notch trend.

As you can see in the image attached above, Nubia hasn’t made any sort of compromises and included a color display on the rear as well. It’s not jsut an e-ink display either.

The rear display has huge bezels but that’s probably by choice as it offers you a great viewfinder for selfies. The screen only turns on when you flip the phone, which looks quite cool. It will again be switched off when you flip to the front. Another interesting addition is the presence of two fingerprint scanner, one on either side of the device – under the screen.

The Nubia X features a massive 6.26-inch IPS LCD display, with a 2280 x 1080p resolution on the front and an OLED screen, with a 1520 x 720p resolution on the rear. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage on board.

There’s only a single dual camera module on the back, which is made up of a 16MP (f/1.8) and 24MP (f/1.7) lens. This module acts as the selfie camera as well. It includes a ton of AI features, including AI portrait and AI scene recognition.

“The company claims that the Nubia X could one of the best selfie capturing smartphones”

It runs Android 8.1 Oreo out-of-the-box instead of the latest Android 9 Pie, along with a modest 3,800mAh battery pack.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon.

Mysterious Drones Spotted in Colorado and Nebraska; Sources Unknown

A group of drones was reportedly been spotted in the sky at night last week in Colorado and Nebraska that made the residents anxious and worried. The police officials in charge have no idea regarding where these drones are from. “They’ve been doing a grid search, a grid pattern. They fly one square and then they fly another square,” Colorado’s Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliot told the Denver Post. The drones have an approximate six-foot wingspan and stay 200 to 300 feet away from buildings. At least 17 drones have been spotted till now. They appear at around 7 PM at night and disappear at around 10 PM . Until now, the drones have not been caught doing any illegal or unofficial activities. “They do not seem to be malicious. They don’t seem to be doing anything that would indicate criminal activity,” Sheriff Elliott added. The Federal Aviation Agency, the Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and US Army Forces Command confirmed that the drones did not belong to them.
