Nokia 9 Could Ditch The Headphone Jack As Well

We have been hearing rumors that HMD Global could have a Nokia phone in the works dubbed the Nokia 9, but to date the handset has yet to be announced. Instead HMD announced the Nokia 8, which for all intents and purposes is the current Nokia flagship smartphone, but recent leaks have suggested that the Nokia 9 is real and could be coming soon.

In the latest rendering obtained by the folks at NPU, it shows the back and bottom portion of the Nokia 9. What’s noticeable straightaway is how the handset will not feature the 3.5mm headphone jack, meaning that just like many other Android OEMs, HMD will be ditching the port in favor of USB-C. We know that this will be quite an inconvenience, but it is expected to become the standard of the future, so we guess we might as well start embracing it.

That being said, the rendering does seem to be in line with some of the leaked renders we’ve seen previously. Assuming it is accurate, it could mean that the Nokia 9 could pack a 3D edge display, somewhat similar to the design Samsung uses for its Galaxy S8 smartphone, and it could also pack anywhere between 6-8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, IP68 certification, and also a fingerprint sensor.

Some have claimed that the Nokia 9 could be a US-exclusive phone, where since the Nokia 8 was not announced for the US market, HMD could choose to launch the Nokia 9 in its place.

Alleged Specs Of Sony’s Next Flagship Smartphone Leaked

In the mobile front, Sony has been somewhat quiet as of late, but it seems that the company is still working on smartphones, and the company’s next flagship’s specs have allegedly leaked online.

According to the rumors, it seems that Sony’s next-gen flagship will finally see the company embrace a different design. For the most part, Sony’s smartphones haven’t differed too much on the design front, but that could change as the rumors are claiming that Sony will finally embrace the bezel-less design that we’re seeing so much of in recent times.

The handset in question is said to feature the model number H8541, but exactly what family of devices that will fall under is anyone’s guess. The leaked specs also reveal that the phone in question will sport a 5.7-inch 4K HDR display with Gorilla Glass 5 and a 3,420mAh battery. However what’s odd is that the handset will apparently use the Snapdragon 835 chipset.

While the Snapdragon 835 is the current flagship chipset of Qualcomm, this late into the game we would have expected Sony to go with the Snapdragon 845. However there are possible reasons behind this, such as pricing where it could be that the Snapdragon 835 could cost less than the 845, or that the rumors are true and that Samsung has first dibs on the Snapdragon 845.

In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but presumably this handset will make an appearance in 2018, either at CES or MWC.

Microsoft Edge For Android Finally Exits Beta

Last month, Microsoft announced that they would be bringing its Edge browser to iOS and Android, where shortly after the announcement, the handset was launched on Android in beta form. However if you’re not the type that likes using beta, or did not know that there was a beta, the good news is that the app is now available to all after having exited the beta.

This was initially noticed by the folks at Android Police who have noted that the app dropped its “beta” tag recently, but yet for some reason it is still called “Microsoft Edge Preview” on Google Play. Essentially this is Edge for Android devices, where users who use the browser on their Windows 10 PCs can also sync content across platforms.

“Microsoft Edge, now available on Android, creates one continuous browsing experience for Windows 10 users across their devices. Content and data sync seamlessly in the background, so users can browse across devices, without skipping a beat.” It also lets users pick up where they left off, where according to Microsoft, “Go anywhere and pick up where you left off by seamlessly moving content between your mobile device and PC (requires Windows 10 Fall Creator’s Update).”

The app is free so if you are an Edge user on the PC, or if you just want to find a new alternative mobile browser, it could be worth checking out.
