Reportedly, Sprint works on new technology called Massive MIMO (short for multiple input, multiple output) tech. MIMO’s goal is to improve LTE Plus’ coverage as well as mobile Internet speed.How does this MIMO work, exacly? Long story short, it allows more than a single data signal to be sent and received between nodes (e.g. website’s servers and your smartphone) over the same radio channel. In addition, MIMO also allows for beamforming, which enhances data signals.New tech is currently being tested in Suwon, South Korea, and the results are said to be promising. ...

Samsung Galaxy Folder 2 launched in South Korea
Galaxy Folder 2 itself is old news. Released ten months ago, Galaxy Folder 2 is one of Samsung’s flip phones – basically a mid-ranger with a physical keyboard (Snapdragon 425 CPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, 3.8′ LCD screen, strangely small 1950mAh battery et cetera, all of that for 260 dollars). The only reason I am writing this is that, for those ten months, Samsung’s flip phone was a China-only exclusive. Releasing the device is South Korea means that maybe, just maybe perhaps possibly it will eventually get released elsewhere as well.Would you like that, or do you not ...

Methods the company is considering are:– to thin the glass over the sensor,– integrate a sensor into the display using infrared technology,– make a pinhole in the glass.We do not know which method will be chosen, but Apple is, reportedly, ...

Nokia 9 to be released in the US in late summer
While Nokia has not released any official announcement stating the above, it can be easily deducted from one fact – Nokia 9 has just receiven FCC (Federal Communications Commission) certification. Getting through FCC usually means that the phone is a month or few months away from release.What else is new with Nokia? Rumour is that Nokia model TA-1004 has had its certification transferred to the TA-T1012 device. It means that we will not be seeing the lower-tier, 4GB RAM TA-1004, and what we’ll get is just the 6GB RAM TA-T1012 version. Cool, I guess. ...
