Google Hangouts is down in multiple parts of the USA due to an unknown issue. If you attempt to send a message via a Hangout, all you will get is a ”Message not delivered” notice. As of now there is no word on the nature of the problem and when will it be solved. This kind of glitches usually does not take long, though, so be patient. I am sure that later today Hangouts will be fixed. Tweet Vote on HN ...
We might be getting a 3G Nokia 3310 (2017) later this year
As cool a gimmick that the new Nokia 3310 is, this feature phone is very much lacking where it counts – fast Internet connection. It may be alright to have a small screen and physical keyboard, but 2G connection is really poor when compared to Flash-like modern Internet speed. Well, according to Techbuzzireland (first time I hear about that website. What a name…), HMD is now finishing working on a 3G version of the device and will launch it by the end of September or beginning of October.That is ...
Nokia 8 looks and specs in one picture
Hurray, more Nokia 8 leaks. Well, Nokia 8 will come out in a week but that does not mean that we cannot talk about it instead of just waiting for the phone to be released, right? This time the image is provided by Slashleaks. Quality of the pictures does not allow us to see much more than the considerable top-bottom and side bezels (no edge-to-edge display), back and Home buttons, but the information on-screen is considerably more, well, informative. According to the picture, Nokia 8 will be packing a Snapdragon 835 CPU, 1440 x 2560 display (that may or may not be 5.3′) and 4GB of RAM ...

Yota Phone 3 renders leaked
Renders have surfaced on the Russian Facebook-esque social network VKontakte (because rusky cannot play with everyone else and have to do everything their own way). Their Yota Phone 3 is quite an original project. Its main feature seems to be dual display setup; phone has both a regular front screen and a monochromatic one on the back cover. Why the secondary screen is not in colour, I do not know. Maybe to save power. The secondary display will reportedly be used for some applications, mainly communicators, as well as for reading e-books. What else is there?Specification:– 5 or ...
Samsung Galaxy Note 8, phone of possibly many colours
Usually, Samsung phones are not the brightest of the bunch (ask any Apple fan – badum-tss!). There are black and silver Samsungs, sometimes gold or dark blue ones. Well, Galaxy Note 8 just might be a much more colourful phone than we are used to. The above picture, leaked from an unknown source, displays Note 8 in eight different colour variants, from green to violet. Personally I’d rather have a yellow one, but to each their own. Front panels of these phones will still be black, though.What do you think? Would you like more colour variety for your Note 8? Or do you not care in ...
