Nokia 2.2 arrives in the US with Android One and dedicated Assistant key for $139


Starting today, consumers in the US will be able to purchase the Nokia 2.2 smartphone. Unlike previous variants of Nokia’s 2 series, the 2.2 comes with Android One out of the box which ensures the latest updates and security patches from Google as they become available. The Nokia 2.2 will receive OS updates (Android Q) for two years and security updates for three.
The 2.2 has a 5.71-inch notched display with HD+ (720p) resolution. Within the notch is a 5MP selfie camera with a 13MP main shooter around back. Nokia claims the camera can shoot great low-light shots thanks to HDR and selfies offer beautification features.
The phone brings Android 9.0 Pie and is powered by a MediaTek Helio A22 (MT6761) – which is comparable to the Snapdragon 425 but more efficient thanks to its 12nm process. There are 3GB of RAM paired with 32GB of onboard storage, expandable via a microSD card.
There is no fingerprint scanner on the 2.2, but the handset does offer 2D face-unlock and even supports NFC for mobile payments and file sharing.
The Nokia 2.2 can now be ordered from Amazon and will ship on July 26. Best Buy is shipping the 2.2 now and will be selling the 2.2 in its physical “Big box” stores starting August 4.

Redmi 7A is now available from offline stores in India, more expensive than online

Image
Xiaomi's  Redmi 7A  has so far been  available through online sales , but that is changing today. The entry-level smartphone is now also available through offline retail channels, but there is a catch. Buying the device from a physical store instead of online will command an INR 200 price premium. So while the base model with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage costs INR 5,999 online, to buy this one from a brick-and-mortar store you'll pay INR 6,199. Similarly, the version with 32GB of storage is priced at INR 6,199 online, and INR 6,399 offline. So you'll be eating some of the costs of having it distributed to myriad stores across the subcontinent, but you do get the added convenience of just walking into a store and immediately leaving with the phone in hand, without the need to wait for shipping. The  Redmi 7A was unveiled  in May. It comes with a 5.45-inch 720x1440 18:9 LCD touchscreen, a 12 MP rear camera, a 5 MP selfie shooter, the Snapdragon 439 SoC...

Huawei Y9 Prime (2019) appears on Amazon, to arrive on August 1

Image
We’ve been hearing about the Huawei Y9 Prime (2019)  arriving in India  for the past few weeks, but we finally have confirmation. The device was listed on Amazon with its key specs and the launch date. The Y9 Prime (2019) is arriving on August 1 with an elevating selfie camera and three shooters on the back. The screen is 6.59” in diagonal, but it is likely an LCD since the fingerprint scanner is on the back. It has no notches, just a tiny bezel on the bottom because the selfie camera is in a pop-up mechanism. Huawei is officially shipping the Y9 Prime (2019) with Kirin 710 and 4 GB RAM, but at least it has 128 gigs of storage. The selfie shooter has a 16 Mp sensor and brings plenty of AI features, including “real-time image optimising in 8 scenes”. The main triple setup is yet to be revealed in detail, but one of the lenses will be an ultra-wide-angle shooter, while the third we assume is just a depth sensor for all the fancy background blur portraits. This midran...

Stable EMUI 9.1 hits 10 Huawei and Honor smartphones

Image
Huawei has started testing EMUI 9.1  back in April and a tally of 10 phones is now ready to switch to the Stable version. The company announced on Weibo that seven Huawei smartphones and three Honor devices will get it. The new user interface is still based on Android Pie and brings software improvements, bug fixes and GPU Turbo 3.0. That feature boosts the performance of the graphics unit to provide better gaming on the expense of the battery life. It also comes with  EROFS (Extendable Read-Only File System)  that should increase read speed by 20% and save about 2 GB of system storage. Here’s the full list of devices. Bear in mind the announce comes from China, so the global units with Google Play services might have to wait a bit longer before they get the update too: Huawei Mate 10 Huawei Mate 10 Pro Huawei Mate 10 Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design Huawei P20 Huawei P20 Pro Huawei nova 3 Honor 10 Honor V10 Honor Play Source ...
