TCL’s DragonHinge can enable a family of foldable devices – CNET
The company best known for its TVs and Alcatel phones shows off prototypes at MWC in Barcelona that use its new patented hinge mechanism.
BlackBerry hits pause on annual phone upgrade trend – CNET
Don’t expect a BlackBerry Key3 for at least another half year. But maybe we’ll see a 5G version in 2020.
TCL’s foldable phone prototype is untouchable for now
If you want a signal for how far out the dreamy foldable phone that we can actually afford is, look no further than the prototype that TCL just unveiled at Mobile World Congress today. With a 7.2-inch flexible screen, it’s in the same size class as Samsung’s Galaxy Fold, and just like the Fold, the TCL prototype is not to be touched or even breathed upon by mere mortals. I’m a little surprised the company let me lift the glass surround to take a closer look at the thing. And, take note, I never saw this foldable device actually folding or unfolding: the thing on show at MWC can be more rightly classified as a folded phone prototype.
TCL is a bit of a complex company, given that it has one business that builds display panels — which does…
The Nokia 9 PureView has five cameras and a lot to prove
HMD Global has a new Nokia flagship, and it might be the company’s most ambitious phone yet: the Nokia 9 PureView, with a show-stopping five — count ‘em, five — cameras on the back that officially takes the crown for the most rear cameras ever put on a phone.
It’s perhaps the biggest play yet by HMD to invoke the old Nokia, from back before it bought and resurrected brand. And while the Nokia 9 PureView may not have the staggering megapixel count Nokia’s phones were known for, it’s certainly a product meant to evoke those glory days.
There’s a lot to unpack about the Nokia 9 PureView. Unlike other multi-camera phones, like the LG V40 or Samsung’s newly announced Galaxy S10, the Nokia 9 PureView uses the same key specs for all five…
Nokia bets big on buttons with its new budget phones
As is practically tradition, HMD Global has come to Mobile World Congress with a new lineup of Nokia phones, and this year’s group includes budget devices with some clever new features.
That starts with the Nokia 4.2, a new class of phone for the company designed to slot in between the pricier Nokia 5 line and the cheaper Nokia 3. The 4.2 is meant to offer an “affordable flagship experience,” with premium features like a notched 5.71-inch display, glass front and back design, dual camera system, and a fingerprint sensor without breaking the $200 mark.
The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 439 processor, so it’s definitely not the fastest device around. It’s rounded out by a 3,000 mAh battery and either 2GB RAM with 16GB of storage or 3GB…
Of course there’s a podcast about pizza
There are a ton of podcasts out there, but finding the right one can be difficult. In our column Pod Hunters, we cover what we’ve been listening to that we can’t stop thinking about.
There are a lot of podcasts out there, and when “National Pizza Day” came through a couple of weeks ago, I discovered that there was indeed a podcast all about pizza: Pizza City, hosted by Steve Dolinsky, a food reporter for ABC 7 in Chicago, the author of Pizza City, USA: 101 Reasons Why Chicago Is America’s Greatest Pizza Town, and founder of Pizza City USA Tours, which is… exactly as it sounds: a pizza tour of Chicago.
The show is an ongoing project for Dolinsky, and each episode chronicles a stop to explore a different type of pizza from around the…
