Nokia Flagship N8 and Nokia C7 Have Display Issues
Nokia easily is the biggest cellphone manufacturer in the world, but the Finnish giant hasn’t managed to make a mark in the smartphone-crazy US. The problem is that Nokia isn’t doing well in the smartphone segment and it does not have a handset that can compete with the likes of the iPhone 4 or those multifarious top-notch Android devices. Its current flagship, Nokia N8 is being promoted heavily and even the Oscars were sought as an opportunity to create an identity for the device. Nokia has to understand that it is not about promotion, but about what it creates is what matters. Nokia has been seeking to build an identity with the N8, but hasn’t been able to due to its ever increasing amount of problems. The latest issue concerns the phone’s display as Russian tech analyst Eldar Murtazin has mentioned that an internal Nokia service bulletin revealed that phones made in December were produced with faulty displays. The problem is not just limited to the Flagship N8, but the more affordable C7 is also plagued with similar issues. The C7 will soon be available via T-Mobile in the US and Nokia is hence left with no option but to replace the faulty displays. It is noteworthy that the N8 is Nokia’s Flagship model and yet, no carrier in the US sells it on a subsidized basis.

Now here is an interesting leaked render of what is allegedly known as the Nokia C1, which is supposed to be the next smartphone which will feature the Nokia logo – never mind the fact that the Finnish company had already sold its smartphone business to Microsoft some time back. Well, the most interesting aspect about this leaked render would be the fact that it sports an Android operating system on the foreground, while another model hiding behind it looks as though it runs on Windows 10 Mobile.
Does this mean that we will have to face not one, but two variants of the same device? Only time will be able to tell, but for the moment, it will be an agonizing wait until 2016 as that is when the alleged Nokia C1 smartphone will launch then.
So, you happen to be rocking to one of the older Lumia handsets from Nokia, and would love to check out what all the hoo-haa is about concerning Windows 10 Mobile. If you happen to live in Poland, then here is a spot of good news for you to kick start your week – the Windows 10 Mobile update will be heading to the likes of the Lumia 630, 635, 640, 735, and 830 this coming December 14, whereas those who happen to be making use of the Lumia 520, 532, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 930, 1020, and 1320, will have to wait until February 1st next year.
Again, bear in mind that the Windows 10 Mobile update will only affect those smartphones which were purchased from Orange in Poland, so if you happen to own any of the above mentioned devices but from different people, then you would have to give the updates a miss.
A quick look at the calendar shows that we are still in March – early March, in fact, and April is still some ways of. Still, this has not stopped the fact that an alleged leak of a Nokia 1100 has been benchmarked, and in that particular benchmark, it revealed that the Nokia 1100 would sport Android 5.0 Lollipop as the mobile operating system version of choice – how cool would that be if it were to be true?
Other hardware specifications in the alleged leaked benchmark sheet point to a quad-core MT6582 processor which has been clocked at 1.3GHz, a 720p resolution display, and most probably 512MB RAM. We would take this bit of information with more than just a pinch of salt – perhaps and entire tablespoonful.
