HMD Global has recently confirmed that they will be at MWC 2019 where presumably new phones will be announced, like the Nokia 1 Plus whose specs were recently leaked, and also the highly-anticipated Nokia 9 PureView. It seems that the latter has been more or less confirmed, thanks to teaser images shared by the company.

This is because based on the teaser images, it shows a phone with a penta-lens setup on the back which is one of the rumored features of the Nokia 9 PureView. The other teaser image also shows what appears to be a hole-in display which is a trend that we’re starting to see more companies adopt these days.

None of this can be confirmed yet but it’s probably safe to assume that the phone could finally be making its debut after we learnt about it last year. Other rumored specs about the Nokia 9 PureView include the use of a 5.99-inch QHD+ display and also the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset.

We know that this is a bit disappointing since many would probably prefer if Nokia had used the Snapdragon 855, but apparently there is a 5G model with the Snapdragon 855 that could be launched later this year. Either way check back with us during MWC 2019 for all the official details.

The billionaire took on his former party and explained why he is considering running for president as an independent.

HMD Global has been raking in praise and sales of its Nokia-branded phones but, truth be told, it’s still missing one thing. HMD Global has yet to launch a true flagship model and its long-awaited Nokia 9 PureView could very well be it. And thanks to a teaser for MWC 2019, we know now how much more waiting we have … Continue reading

After years of not bothering with its iPod lineup anymore, it was a bit of a surprise to learn that Apple could actually be thinking of releasing an updated iPod touch four years after the last generation. Now it looks like there is evidence of that rumor being true according to developer Steve Troughton-Smith who discovered references made to the iPod touch in the iOS 12.2 beta.

According to his discovery, it seems that this iPod touch will be basic as it gets and will more or less be a minor hardware upgrade over its predecessor. This is because the references spotted did not make any mention of Face ID or even Touch ID. This is rather surprising given that Touch ID was introduced in 2013 with the iPhone 5s, so you would think that they could include it in the 2019 iPod touch.

However it is entirely possible that due to the iPod touch being seen as more of a media player than a device that could contain sensitive information, maybe Apple decided that Touch ID or Face ID is not necessary. Plus it also helps to keep costs down, especially in this day and age where a dedicated music player is no longer necessary.

Troughton-Smith’s discovery also revealed that the upcoming iPad and iPad mini refreshes will also not be sporting Face ID. No word on when Apple plans on launching all these rumored devices, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled.

It looks like a UFO, but the conceptual ‘Feuxzy‘ drone has very earthly origins. It was created as a solution to keep forest fires at bay in rural areas and prevent them from getting out of control. It has a very unique way of extinguishing fires.

This concept drone was designed by Adolfo Esquivel and Martin Rico of Imaginactive. The way it would work is simple. The drone would monitor woods, forests and parks for fires, using thermal imaging and other sensors. If it locates a fire, it would use low-frequency bass sounds to disrupt the air around the fire. This would theoretically remove the oxygen from the area to help put out the flames quickly without human intervention or even water.

It would be powered by lithium-ion batteries or a fuel cell that can continue to operate even in extreme temperatures. It could help to keep human firefighters out of danger, which is a great reason to have this in our forests all by itself and it could help to prevent disastrous fires like the recent ones in Paradise, California. So it could save save civilian lives and property as well.

The Feuxzy is a concept for now but could be real one day soon.
