Nokia Smart TV to Launch in 55-Inch Variant; Price Under Rs. 40,000

The smart TV segment in India is rife with opportunity at the moment. Xiaomi has greatly disrupted the market with its Mi TVs and more players are now stepping foot into the ring. Nokia is the latest to board the hype and has scheduled the launch of its first Smart TV in India on December 5.

As we near the launch, more details for Nokia Smart TVs has now started finding its way online. The pricing and manufacturer details for the TV are now available, all thanks to a report from The Mobile Indian. The report reveals that Nokia Smart TV will initially be introduced in a single 55-inch variant with 4K UHD resolution.

“Skyworth India Electronics, a subsidiary of China-based Skyworth Overseas Development Company, along with Skyquad will assemble the Nokia TVs in Hyderabad,” told the source aware of the development. Flipkart, who is the brand licensee for Nokia’s Smart TVs, isn’t going berserk with this launch as it did with Motorola TVs.

The e-commerce giant unveiled 6 Motorola smart TVs simultaneously, including a sub-Rs 15,000 32-inch HD-Ready smart TV to a premium 65-inch Ultra-HD smart TV. It looks like Nokia doesn’t plan on cluttering the market but instead, aims to test the waters with this launch.

The source continues to add that one shouldn’t be surprised if the “Nokia TV is strikingly similar to Motorola 55 inch TV in terms of features.” The two smart TVs will differ on the audio front. Nokia has partnered with JBL to utilize its audio technology in its TVs. The leaks further suggest that the display will use Intelligent Dimming technology for deeper black and enhanced contrast.

Talking about the pricing, the 55-inch Nokia Smart TV with 4K UHD resolution is expected to be priced somewhere around Rs. 40,000. This suggests the Finnish giant plans to butt heads with popular smart TV makers such as Xiaomi and Vu in India. So, does this make you excited to check out the Nokia smart TV?

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. 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.

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.
