Well the last Nokia Phones were only middleclass at best, but rumors say that HMD is working on a Nokia Android Flagship, called Nokia 9.

Well as mentioned the latest Nokia Phones were all below the 300€ mark, so they can’t quite be considered highend, but the latest leaks show that HMD Global is currently working on a Nokia flagship device. The Nokia 9 , that’s what it might be called, will feature real good tech including an iris scanner and audio features by Nokia Ozo. NokiaPowerUser has also leaked some of the alleged specs for the Nokia 9 :

And the list goes on suggesting that the Nokia 9 might even feature the Carl-Zeiss camera that we learned to love in previous devices. All in all this actually sounds to good to be true and we can’t confirm any of those leaks yet. It looks like we have to wait for future more reliable leaks.

The korean times apparently knows the update schedules for the LG V10 and the G4

An unnamed korean official has reortedly toled the korean times that the popular 2015 phones, the LG V10 and the G4 will receive their share of Nougat this year. The LG V10 will go first in the second quarter, so some time from march to may, while the G4 will get the update in the third quarter , so some when from june to august. Initially there were no plans for updates for those devices, since there were compability problems, but it seems they have been sorted out. I assume that korea might be the first market that will get the update , but we have no word on that. I for one will be looking forward for the Update for my own V10.

The release of the Samsung Galaxy S8 is getting closer , so we see new leaks every day.

So the latest leak of the Samsung Galaxy S8 is a video. This new Video , as well as 2 more images, has shown up earlier showing the device from the front and the back. The funny thing about this short 5 second clip is that the device has a „confidential“ sticker on the back, that didn’t stopt it from being leaked.

The pictures i mentioned above show off the Devices large screen as well as what seems to be the first case for the S8.

In the second one we see the lock screen in an active state with a passcode being put in. So far all rumors have been consistent and the Samsung Galaxy S8 will feature a fingerprint sensor on the back, no home buttin and the large and curved infinity display.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 will be unveiled at the end of the month in New York.

To promote the new Movie Kong: Skull Island the fictional piece of land has been added to Google Maps.

Soon we will have a new reboot of a franchise, this time King Kong. In order to promote the Movie Google Maps has teamed up with Legendary and Universal pictures to add Skull Island on the Map Server. The fictional island is located near the equator and a few thousand miles west of Peru and is labeled as an „archeological site“.

Google Maps lets the user add their own phantasy reviews and pictures of skull island as a promotion. So far over 6000 people engaged and shared their thoughts, resulting in a pretty cool summary and a few very charming images. The island itself would be pretty deadly to all of us since it is inhabitated by giant animals including our favourite ape King Kong. The movie is the second in a „monserverse“ quadrology, followed by Godzilla: King of monsters in 2019 and Godzilla vs. King Kong in 2020 .

Well apparently the UI of the Google Play Store will get a nice little tweak.

As you can see in the Image above the Google Play Store will get a nice little UI tweak to make your life easier. It appears that the Update page now lets you update individual apps with only one tap. Previously you had to either update all or get on the app’s page in order to update a single app. It’s not the biggest update but it is a small step towards making your life easier and tasks simpler.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has been shown off quite a bit in the last few days, a new trademark reveals what the new display will be called.

In a recent application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USTPO) Samsung has field a patent for the name of the Samsung Galaxy S8 Display. The huge screen with almost no bezels will therefore be called „Infinity Display“. The patent file also says that the „infinity Display“ will be used for „mobile telephones“ so we can assume that it will not only be the S8 and its bigger brother the S8+ . Maybe this Display will also be used in the soon to come Galaxy X series.

Later with Android wear 2.0 the Google Assistant came to multiple smartwatches from different developers, and following that it came to the LG G6. Well the exclusivitiy is over since Google has startetd rolling it out to any Android M or N device in the US so far, other countries will follow. This video was posted earlier:

With this said at MWc questions rose who will get it when, this was said in this specific statement, which was published by Google.

The Google Assistant will begin rolling out this week to English users in the U.S., followed by English in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as German speakers in Germany. We’ll continue to add more languages over the coming year.

The Google Assistant will automatically come to eligible Android phones running Nougat and Marshmallow with Google Play Services.

So we just need to wait for our own personal Assistant. Since I’m based in germany it might take a while but you can be sure to check back here for a detailed look at the Google Assistant once it arrives on my V10.

After the whole Note 7 drama , Samsung is pretty keen on quality ensurance, and now a new office for that has been announced.

After last year’s Drama and the following Lawsuits around the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 the tech giant from Korea has announced that they will open up a new quality ensurance office. The Ofiice will be led by Kim Jong-ho , who joined Samsung in 1983. He is an engineering expert at Samsung who contributed a lot to the smartphone branch of Samsung. In 2015 he was awarded the Gold Tower Order of Industrial Service Merit for his contribution to expanding the electronics and IT industries, this price is the highest honor a businessman in Korea can receive. He is seen in the picture below.

With this new office the company hopes to never have one of the Note Dramas again, especially with all eyes on the Galaxy S8 and S8+ right now. Let’s hope that we will never have to worry about our phones exploding again.

We’ve heard about samsungs project Valley quite a few things, now we know the name it will get , Samsung Galaxy X.

The korean tech company has been experimenting with the Project Valley, a series of foldable smartphones, for quite some time now and we heard numerous rumors. Now it seems that there has been a huge step forward towards the user hands. Samsung got an official trademark for the series of Devices, that will according to rumors, also come in 2 different sizes called the Samsung Galaxy X1 and Galaxy X1+.

So it is still in application, but that might mean that there is an actual prototype soon to be seen somewhere. In case you were wondering , a roadmap shows that the devices could be here in Q3 or Q4 this year, so I’ll keep a very close look at samsung when at IFA this year. For those who haven’t seen the Devices pre-patent designs, here is what it might look like.

As a friend of flip-phones back in the day, those images really strike with me, what do you think? would you get one (if the price is not too high) or wait until the tech is fully developed?
