Nokia 8.1 Arrives

Though HMD Global’s upcoming device would be called the Nokia 8.1, it is truly a successor to the impressive Nokia 7 Plus from earlier this year. It boasts of a stunning glass sandwich design and sports a 6.18-inch Full-HD+ screen, with a huge notch and PureDisplay tech for HDR streaming.

The device is powered by the Snapdragon 710 chipset, coupled with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It includes a 3,500mAh battery and runs Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box under the Android One Program.

As for the optics department, the device boasts a dual-rear camera setup with a primary 12MP (with OIS) sensor and a secondary 13MP sensor. There’s also a 20MP selfie camera on board.

Nokia 9 Pureview?

In addition, the ‘Nokia 9 Pureview’ flagship from HMD Global has been leaking online left, right and center, so we can also expect to see it making its way to India at this event. If you’ve been keeping up, it is the same device which is expected to bring a penta-camera module in tow.

There’s no official word from the company on this device, but it’s expected to feature a 5.9-inch Quad-HD+ display (without a notch up top)and be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset or even the Snapdragon 8150 – as it would’ve been announced by then. We also don’t know how the five cameras will play together and what new features the phone would bring for photography.

We’re sure to get some certainty post the Dubai launch next week. Until then stay tuned for more updates and keep guessing which Nokia device could HMD Global be bringing to India. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

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. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social

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.
