Nokia’s upcoming C1 Android smartphone allegedly shown in leaked renders

Posted on by

For many months now there’s been speculation about Nokia re-entering the smartphone space in 2016, after the non-compete clause embedded in the sale of its smartphone division to Microsoft expires. And after initially denying it, even the Finnish company’s CEO said we should in fact expect to see some Nokia-branded handsets next year.

The first of those could be the C1, allegedly depicted by the leaked renders you can see below.

A word of caution: these have been posted on Weibo (China’s Twitter equivalent) and there’s no way to tell if they’re really leaked renders of the new Nokia phone or simply what someone hopes this will look like. Do keep in mind that another alleged render of the C1 turned up last December and was immediately debunked as being nothing more than a concept.

Assuming this is real, the Nokia C1 will complement the already launched N1 tablet in the company’s portfolio. That said, like the N1 it’s expected to be produced by another company, with Nokia being involved in the design and granting a license for the use of its name.

No specs for the C1 have been outed this time around, but previous mumblings talked about it sporting a 5-inch 720p touchscreen, an 8 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front snapper, and an Intel processor aided by 2GB of RAM.

What can be gathered from the renders is that it will use a unibody construction, though it’s not entirely obvious whether we’re looking at plastic or metal. The C1 seems pretty thin too.

Android Pay podría llegar el próximo 16 de Septiembre

android pay 3

El sistema de pago con smartphone de Google, Android Pay, se presentó durante el Google I/O de este año. Esta será una de las principales novedades que habrá en la nueva versión 6.0 Marshmallow del famoso sistema operativo del robot verde.

Todo apunta a que, a finales de Septiembre se presenten los nuevos Nexus así como la versión final de Android 6.0, pero sin embargo, algunos de sus servicios podrían ver la luz mucho antes de lo que esperamos.

Hemos oído muy poco desde que se anunciase en San Francisco, así que prácticamente desconocemos como funcionará o que pros y contras tendrá respecto a otros métodos de pago. Sea como sea, los rumores sobre este nuevo servicio de los chicos de Mountain View, vuelven a aparecer y lo hace lanzando una posible fecha de lanzamiento, el 16 de Septiembre.

En la última versión del Google Play Service, la 8.1, hay indicios en el código de Android Pay. Esta nueva versión irá llegando poco a poco a los millones de terminales que hay repertidos por todo el mundo. Una vez todo el ecosistema de Android tenga esa mueva versión de los servicios de la famosa tienda de aplicaciones de Google, llegará la liberación del pago en Android.

Android Pay

Además, recientemente, ha salido una nota interna de una empresa externa a la compañía de Mountain View, la cuál está preparando el terreno para llegada inminente del futuro servicio de pago. Si los rumores están en lo cierto y las imágenes publicadas son ciertas y no tienen manipulación alguna, Android Pay llegaría el próximo 16 de Septiembre, 10 días antes de la supuesta presentación y liberación de la última versión de Android.

Google Translate for Android works systemwide in Marshmallow

Posted on by

The Google Translate app for Android has a new trick up its sleeve, but for now it only works if you’re running the Marshmallow Developer Preview. This will, however, become more widely available as the final release of Android 6.0 Marshmallow gets out and starts spreading.

We’re talking about the fact that Google Translate works systemwide, if you run the aforementioned iteration of Android and also if you have version 4.3 of the app (or newer).

As portrayed in the screenshots above, what this means is that when you select some text in whichever app you happen to be using, you don’t have to copy it, then switch to the Google Translate app in order to have it converted into another language. Now when you select text “Translate” appears as a direct option, and if you tap on that a pop-up Google Translate window will show up and quickly give you what you want.

This functionality takes advantage of Marshmallow’s new contextual selection feature, and it should work anywhere you can select text. This makes using Google Translate on Android for things you find written in an app or on a website a lot more useful than it’s been so…

We’ll Never Have a Tech Utopia

We’ll Never Have a Tech Utopia
In hoping for a thing that will likely never exist as we imagine it, we locate in the impossible our dreams for change, for utopia — for a world reimagined as the kind of place where a hoverboard might be real, where we might be McFlys. First step hoverboards; next, the cure for cancer.

The ‘Until Dawn’ Ending That Fixes The Problem With Every Horror Movie

Posted on by

I’ve previously criticized Sony for having a sparse exclusive PS4 games line-up this fall after the delay of Uncharted 4, and Halo 5 and Rise of the Tomb Raider on the horizon for Xbox. But of the “lesser” releases Sony has in their corner, it seems that we’ve found at least one diamond in the rough.
