Nokia Wants To Pump Out Many WP7 Devices
Well we all know that Nokia is starting to focus their attention on their Windows Phone 7 devices. What we did not know was exactly how serious they were regarding that. As we all know Nokia is one of Microsoft’s partners for Windows Phone 7 and thanks to Nokia’s Vice President of Smart Devices, Jo Harlow, we now know that Nokia will be merciless in their unleashing of Windows Phone 7 devices upon the market.
She was quoted as saying “We should be launching new devices in a rhythm that might be every couple of months, every three months, something like that.” Not surprising considering that WP7 will be Nokia’s primary platform now, in favor of their Symbian and MeeGo platforms. Perhaps this will allow Nokia to rebound back on its feet, assuming of course that not only will their WP7 devices be amazing, but that the WP7 Mango update will prove to be a game changer.
The Finnish company will also be making use of Microsoft’s relationship with US carriers in an attempt to break through in the American smartphone market. Guess we will have to wait and see how that turns out.
LG has been rather quiet about developing its very own mobile chipset design for some time already, where the first Nuclun SoC will soon be followed up by – surprise, surprise, the Nuclun 2. This is not the first time that the Nuclun 2 name was brought up, and up till now, there has been no devices that were released with Nuclun 2 at its heart, although that might change with the upcoming V10 successor if rumors prove to be correct.
In other words, the LG V10’s successor will most probably be released some time in the second half of the coming year, which means it will be some time before it ends up as a shipping product. It also remains to be seen whether the Nuclun 3 will hit the streets in the near future, but as with most other cases, patience is definitely called for.
So, there is a new Samsung smartphone that is about to be released – big surprise, that, and I say this with full a sarcasm. Still, those who want something that looks to hang out on the high end side of things in terms of design and form factor, and yet having a mid-range performer within, can always settle for the Samsung Galaxy A9.
The handset has already appeared on the FCC database, which means it has been approved, and listed as the Samsung Galaxy A9. With the green light given, it is but a matter of time before it hits the market. While very little detail has been released so far, it should not be too long now before an official announcement is made. All that one can do now is to sit tight and wait. [FCC Page]
What is the world’s best kept secret? I suppose that would be a subjective question, with a myriad of answers for your picking if you were to take into consideration the different industries and niches, but where smartphones are concerned, especially with the HTC banner involved, then it would be the HTC One X9 being the next handset from the company. A set of photos of the alleged device has surfaced, and in these photos, it has more or less confirmed the overall design of the device – including its SIM card slot, power and volume button locations.
Other rumored hardware specifications include a 5.5” Full HD display, a MediaTek MT6795 SoC, either 2GB or 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a 3,000mAh battery, a 13MP shooter at the back with OIS, and an UltraPixel front camera. All that we have to do now is to sit tight and wait for an official announcement concerning the hardware, and it is good to go.
