[b][/b]The iconic handset is back!!!-Nokia 3310. Despite the wonders of today’s smartphones, with their 4G internet connections, touchscreens and endless choice of apps – the 3310 still holds a special place in many hearts. One of the world’s most popular phone, Nokia 3310 had lot of features that made it endear to the heart of users 17 years ago when it was first launched.



Today’s smartphones last a day if you’re lucky, but the 3310 could go on for more than a week – longer in some circumstances. The four black bars on the right-hand side of the screen were reassuringly static (there was no panicking about percentages back then) and because it was the world’s most popular phone, everyone had a charger. And if the worst came to the worst, you could swap out batteries, borrowing a friend’s in a pinch. Of course, batteries weren’t more advanced back then, phones just didn’t have colour screens or Bluetooth radios, but the convenience of the 3310 should serve as an example to today’s manufacturers. Nokia 3310 was itself almost indestructible. If you’ve had a smashed screen or busted home button, you may well have pined for the days when your old Nokia could fall from the top of a three story building and survive intact. The 3310’s plastic shell and clicky buttons – which could be removed and replaced created a toughness that made the 3310 endured as an internet meme long after it left the shelves.

Nokia-3310-

After many leaks, the new Nokia 3310 which was unveiled at MWC 2017 by the Finnish manufacturer, HMD Global, with the exclusive rights to market the Nokia brand, was met with instant adulation. HMD Global’s reimagining of the classic tries to bring that back but with more features that make it more suited for the modern age. Even though the new Nokia 3310 comes with a large colour display and tweaked keyboard, it still held its roots to keep the sturdiness and long lasting battery features alive.

REAR CAMERA (2MP)

The new Nokia 3310 sports a 2-megapixel rear camera which can be considered as one of the biggest updates to the iconic handset. It is also accompanied by a LED flash. As with all feature phones, the quality of pictures will not be exceptional, though the presence of a camera adds a lot of value to the device.

BATTERY LIFE

As expected, the new Nokia 3310 (2017) feature phone comes with an impressive battery life. HMD Global at the launch event claimed that the handset packs removable 1200mAh battery and can deliver a talk time of up to 22 hours while a standby time of up to 31 days.

HEADPHONE JACK

One of the features wasn’t available on the original Nokia 3310 was the headphone jack but the feature has definitely made its way to the new Nokia 3310 (2017). It comes with a 3.5mm audio jack and supports FM radio as well as comes with MP3 player for listening to your favourite music.

NEW COLOR OPTIONS

The new Nokia 3310 will be available in all-new avatar and comes with fresh colours as well. The Nokia 3310 (2017) will come in Warm Red and Yellow colours both with a gloss finish while will also come in Dark Blue and Grey colours both with a matte finish.

SNAKE GAME

One of the things that were expected to make a return with the Nokia 3310 refresh was the legendary Snake game. HMD Global at its launch event confirmed that the Snake game will be coming with a little update and has been optimised for the colour screen.

TechLector:
Tecno Mobile has been teasing fans with yet another upcoming smartphone named Tecno L9 Plus couples of days now. Just some days back, we revealed some leaked and rendered images of the Tecno Camon C10 (CX) said to feature 4 Cameras (2 front cameras and 2 rear cameras); a sign that we are in that period of the year again when virtually all smartphone manufacturers will start displaying their creativeness by releasing different wow-ish devices into the African mobile markets.

It is certain that the Tecno L9 will be launching first alongside the Tecno L9 Plus to add up to the L-series range of smartphones known for huge battery capacity and the rumored Tecno Camon C10 with 4 cameras.

Just as it name implies, the Tecno L9 and L9 Plus, an upgrade and direct successor to the battery centric Tecno L8 and L8 Plus with powerful 5050mAh juicers launched in 2016 will both be coming with impressive features and larger battery sizes with Quick charge support. The L-series line of Tecno Mobiles is known for their huge battery capacity just like the Gionee’s Marathon line. Gionee M6 launched in 2016 that packed a 6000mAh battery capacity, and anything lesser than that on the L9 or L9 Plus will be undesirable because this is 2017.

Other speculations about the forthcoming L9s is that the two smartphones will house a much better design with amazing camera lenses and upgraded software for an impressive performance.

What we expect from the Tecno L9/L9 Plus

Body: Metal build
Display: large 6-inch HD IPS display (Exp.)
OS: Android 7.0 Nougat (Exp.)
Dual 13MP rear Camera with Dual Flash and 8MP front Camera with Flash (Exp.)
Memory Capacity: 2GB of RAM for L9 and 3GB of RAM for L9 Plus (Exp.)
Storage Capacity: 16GB (expandable up to 128GB) (Exp.)
Battery Capacity from 5OOOmAh, 4G LTE, Fingerprint scanner, bigger processor
This is not much of a phone I guess. However, Tecno L-series devices do not always come with high-end features, so we shouldn’t be expecting too much from these upcoming Tecno phones. But we are certain about a robust battery size that can hold more power than a man in the other room and an improved camera.

Rumored Tecno L9/L8 Plus Specifications

Based on spreading rumors and leaked photos, the Tecno L9 and L9 Plus will come as a 6-inch HD IPS display smartphone with screen resolutions measuring 1280 x 720 pixels.

As captioned on the image teased by Tecno recently, “Tecno L9 Plus holds more power than your boyfriend. Always in charge” has gotten everyone talking about this kind of teasing spirit. This means that the battery has the ability to sustain the device more than 3 days on full charge. Battery talk time which was formerly 8 hrs should be increased to something around 15 hrs and standby time formerly 250 hrs should be able to boost the devices up to 300 hrs. it is also said that the device will be able to withstand 35 hours of video playback and 28 hours of intensive gameplay.

The devices are actually juiced by 5000mAh battery with Ultra-Power saving mode installed on the devices will make users minimize the way these phones consume battery.

That is not all, aside the powerful juicers that back both the L9 and L9 Plus, the devices look a lot thinner than its predecessors despite their large batteries packed behind them, thanks to great engineering from Tecno Mobile team. We have been able to gather that the two devices will come in different colors: Blue, Black, Gold, Champagne Gold, and Anthracite Grey.

These Tecno devices have switched from plastic cases to metals that make the phones even lighter in spite of their battery sizes.

A source claims that the device will come with a dual rear camera with each camera having a 13MP sensor using both the rear camera setup as seen on Tecno Phantom 6 and Apple iPhone 7 Plus. Of course this sounds like an awesome deal, but it should be noted however, that such camera configuration on a mid-range smartphones will definitely move the price point to the high-end segment.

Moving ahead to the chipset section, the forthcoming Tecno phones are expected to come powered by the usual Quad-Core Mediatek processor which will be supported by 2GB RAM for the Tecno L9 and 3GB RAM for the L9 Plus with an internal storage memory of 16GB each. The phone is likely to run Android 7.0 Nougat out of box.

The Amazing Technology Behind Gionee M6

Android smartphones have recently been built with amazing and unique technology that has been the defining selling point of these devices. Gionee M6 and M6 plus has also joined in the long list of Smartphones with unique selling point.

The defining technology in this device is it built-in data encryption chips, which Gionee claims is a first for any smartphone. This is partially true, as the TouchID-equipped Apple iPhone handsets do contain a “secure element” chip. But as far as we know, the financial industry-compliant silicon is used for storing data related to the Apple Pay feature, whereas Gionee went all in. The chip in the M6 and M6 Plus protects user data from malware and prevents potentially intercepted communications from being decrypted easily. This amazing technology has potentially been targeted at business professionals as it prevents malware and helps to secure data and avoid interception of communication line.

These elegant smartphone M6 and M6 plus are powered by the 1.8GHz (2GHz for the M6 Plus) MediaTek Helio P10 octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB expandable storage. Both phones have regular microUSB ports and pack common connectivity features, such as 4G LTE, 3G, GPRS/EDGE, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, and USB OTG.

This is where the similarities between the M6 and M6 Plus end, though. Measuring 5.99 x 2.96 x 0.32in (152.3 x 75.3 x 8.2mm) at 5.29oz (180g), the Gionee M6 features a 5.5-inch, 1080p-resolution AMOLED screen tuned to cover 100% of the NTSC color gamut. There’s a 13MP main camera with phase detection auto-focus and a single LED flash on the back, and the front is adorned with an 8MP cam.

What I love most is it’s amazing battery life of 5000mAh, which for M6 Plus is 6020mAh, it offers high battery capacity which lasts for long time – up to 6.4 hours of video playback, 55 hour calls, and 33 days of standby – according to Gionee and with a reverse charging i.e. can also be used as a power bank.

Finally, I would like to point other features I feel needs to be pointed out, which are business card scanner and translator, smart power consumption, gyroscope, electronic compass, gravity sensor, light sensor; hall sensor; and proximity sensor. Gionee M6 is in a class of its own when it comes to snapshots, it portrays creativity. With an 8MP front and 13MP rear camera with Face Beauty and a Screen Flash that allows you take selfies in the dark, every act of photography for you becomes an experience; every flash tells a story; every memory meets no end.

The amazing technology behind this elegant smartphone, Gionee M6, which is the built-in data encryption hardware makes it a go-to-phone for every phone lover that wants a secured communication and data. You should obviously consider getting one. Available at www.computervillage.ng[url][/url]www.computervillage.ng[left][/left]
