Nokia Finally Sells Its Digital Health Division Back To Withings Co-Founder


Nokia acquired French digital health company Withings in June last year and it then became a part of the Finnish company and was rebranded as Nokia Health. The company has struggled to find a direction for its digital health division since then but to no avail. It then decided to sell it and reports suggested that Nokia may end up selling the division back to Withings co-founder and former chairman Éric Carreel. That’s precisely what it has done now.

Nokia announced in February this year that it had started a review of strategic options for the business which basically meant that the company was actively looking for a buyer.

It confirmed earlier this month that it was exclusively negotiating a sale of the division with Withings co-founder Éric Carreel. Nokia announced today that it has officially closed the sale of its digital health business to the co-founder of Withings.

Nokia says that the sale is part of its focus on becoming a business-to-business and licensing company, which means that it doesn’t want to participate in the consumer market anymore. Nokia has already offloaded its smartphone division and licensed its brand to HMD Global so it’s firmly out of the consumer market now.

Financial terms of the deal, which brought the digital health business full circle, have not been revealed.

Galaxy A3 (2017) Oreo Update Causing Issues For Some


A major firmware update is always welcomed by Android users but it can often cause more problems than it fixes. That appears to be the case for some Galaxy A3 (2017) owners who are reporting that their devices have been facing reboots and bootloops after the Oreo update was released. Users have taken to online forums to complain about the issues that the Oreo update has caused.

One user claimed that their Galaxy A3 (2017) keeps restarting over and over again with the battery draining out in less than four hours. They also complained about constant freezing and a factory reset didn’t do much to fix the issue.

Some users have claimed that their Galaxy A3 (2017) on Oreo reboots after they connect to specific Wi-Fi networks such as Eduroam in Europe. Samsung is yet to acknowledge the problem officially but moderators on its official forums have started collecting details. It hasn’t confirmed if a fix is being developed.

It’s unclear at this point in time what’s causing these issues and how soon Samsung will be come out with a fix for them. Galaxy A3 (2017) owners who are facing these issues will no doubt be hoping that Samsung is more forthcoming with information about how it’s planning to tackle these issues.

Dell Reportedly Developing A Dual-Screen ARM Windows Device


Even though there have been countless reports that Microsoft is working on a foldable dual-screen device, we have yet to see one from the company despite the fact that it also has patents covering such a device. It appears that one of Microsoft’s closest OEM partners may be working on a similar device. A new report claims that Dell is working on a dual-screen Windows-powered device with an ARM chip.

The report claims that Dell has been working on this device codenamed “Januss” since the summer of 2017 at least. It claims that while the project is in the prototype stage, it’s far from confirmed if Dell actually plans on releasing the device.

The device, if it ever comes to market, will likely be powered by Qualcomm’s as-yet-unannounced Snapdragon 850 processor which is going to be used in notebooks and hybrid devices powered by the ARM-enabled version of Windows 10 in the second half of this year.

The two displays of this device may be connected with a hinge or the second display could simply be mounted on the outside of the back cover of the main display. There’s no clarity on this just yet.

It’s also expected to feature at least one USB Type-C port for power delivery and connecting external devices. Additional components may include an accelerometer, gyroscope, electronic compass, etc.

No word as yet on whether Dell is going to bring this device to market and how much it’s going to cost if it does decide to launch it.
