For the past few weeks, the Nokia 8 has been constantly appearing online leaving almost nothing to the imagination. The press renders revealed in a VentureBeat report recently suggested a rather conventional design which Nokia’s existing budget smartphone lineup also comes with. The polycarbonate clamshell body doesn’t seem quite appealing at first glance, although it does allow the company to maintain a common language across all of its smartphones. In addition to that, there will be a fingerprint scanner housed under the front home key and two off-screen capacitive buttons beside it....
Judging by the comments, many of our readers are actually liking the N9, Nokia’s inaugural smartphone running MeeGo software. Some even deemed it the worthiest iPhone wannabe to date (and a killer Android apps phone), even if it borrows slavishly from Apple. An eight-megapixel back camera with Carl Zeiss lens and autofocus is one of the N9’s selling points so Nokia took it upon themselves to tell the world in a blog post that it’s also one of the fastest smartphone cameras around (see the below chart)....

This week, HMD Global and Nokia have officially unveiled the Nokia X71, launching it in Taiwan today.

Android Go has been around since Android Oreo in December 2017, offering a lightweight version of Android for entry-level devices with 2GB or less of RAM. The 200 million user base is small compared to the three billion Android users worldwide, but it is nonetheless a significant number. This release of Go is based on the recently released Android 12 and promises to launch apps 30% faster with smoother animations....

Ever since Microsoft bought Nokia’s services and devices divisions, there has been a number of talk points where it was believed that the Finnish giant will reboot its effort in smartphone manufacturing business. But until now Nokia kept denying any such possibility, and also it was contractually obligated from manufacturing or using its brand name on any phone until the end of 2016. But then Nokia partnered with Foxconn last year to sell a tablet called the N1, which runs Android, giving slightest of indication of its return to the game....
So, naturally, this has upset those users who were hoping for a not so heavy modified Android version and something closer to the clean, Vanilla version. While this could happen in the future with another device, if you own a Nokia X, X+ or XL and you want to run on clean Android, an ingenious developer has released Vanilla Android 4.1.2 for the Nokia X which is already available for download....

“I’m hoping we can get the newsroom more actively involved in the challenge of delivering our best journalism in the form of Times Reader, iPhone apps, WAP, or the impending Apple slate…” http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7166514&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=ffffff&fullscreen=1 Re-he-he-heaaaly. Did he just let the cat out of the bag? Did he accidentally forget the encyclopedia-sized pile of confidentiality agreements that Apple made him sign? He seems extremely matter of fact about the “impending Apple Slate” and doesn’t clarify the statement as being some sort of forward looking statement....
Robert Englund will forever be the definitive Freddy Krueger, but it turns out the actor almost didn’t return for A Nightmare on Elm Street’s sequels. Hollywood history is full of instances where a beloved role was recast later on, for various reasons, such as an actor not wanting to return, or no longer being age-appropriate for the role in question. To date, only one actor has taken a shot at playing Freddy other than Englund, that being Jackie Earle Haley in the widely disliked 2010 A Nightmare on Elm Street remake....
Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon’s Cabin in the Woods is one of the few horror films that can be considered a modern classic as it not only pays respect to iconic horror films, but also connects to some in exciting ways. At their core, horror films are very simple, especially many entries in the slasher genre. Due to how there have been decades of different takes on this basic premise, it can be especially challenging to come up with fresh ideas on a classic formula....

Now, as it turns out, Nokia will not be bringing Nokia 8 to either the US or China. In an interview with CNBC, HMD Global’s CEO Mr. Sieche said that launching smartphones in the US “requires a separate strategy, even a separate portfolio and tech investment....
