Just as the Samsung Galaxy S8 was roasted for its Bixby button, so too must we address the squeeze feature on Google’s Pixel 2. The hardware comes from the HTC U11, the first place where HTC implemented “Edge Sense” with open-ended functionality. While the edge squeeze feature on the Pixel 2 remains a shortcut, it’s currently restricted to Google Assistant … Continue reading

There have been a lot of rumors recently about HMD Global working on a new Nokia-branded flagship smartphone. Some Nokia 9 leaked renders have appeared online today, highlighting the rumored curved glass display of the device and a dual camera system at the back. HMD Global has launched four new Android-powered handsets this year with the Nokia 8 being the existing flagship. The Nokia 9 is expected to push HMD Global further into the flagship territory.
The Nokia 9 leaked renders suggest that the handset is going to have a premium look and feel about it. The Nokia 9 appears to have a curved display as well as a curved glass back, it’s similar to what we’ve seen on major flagships this year.
We can also see a vertical dual camera system at the back, that’s another flagship favorite for 2017, so it won’t really surprise anyone if the next Nokia-branded flagship came with a dual camera system. Also highlighted in these renders are the USB Type-C port, the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, and the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack.
As far as the specs go, the Nokia 9 is expected to feature a 5.5 inch Quad HD display with a Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage.
It’s unclear at this point in time when HMD Global is planning on launching the Nokia 9.

Facebook has been at the center of a heated debate about efforts by the Russian government to influence the 2016 presidential election by spreading ads promoting divisive views in key states. It’s claimed to have primarily used Facebook for this purpose, which would make sense, given that it’s the largest social network in the world. Facebook has been looking into the matter and it has now made a commitment to release Russia-backed political ads.
It has also been revealed in recent weeks that Facebook was probably not the only platform that was used for this. Google has found evidence of such ads on its services as well and so has Twitter.
Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg confirmed today that the company is fully committed to working with congressional investigators in the country to publicly release Russia-backed political ads.
“Things happened on our platform in this election that shouldn’t have happened,” she said, adding that the company has told Congress and the intelligence committees that when they are ready to release the ads, Facebook will help them.
Not only that, Facebook is also going to release information about how those divisive ads were targeted toward specific users in order to get the most mileage out of the campaigns. “We don’t want this kind of foreign interference,” she added.
Facebook has also taken various steps to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen again, they involve improving the monitoring mechanisms to prevent such ads from making their way to its network.
