Why Nokia 3310?

As soon HMD officially announced that it is going to relaunch the legendary model 3310, this news spread like fire, this news becomes the headlines of almost every newspaper, every technology related blog was filled with this article and created lot of buzz. Many rumours were going all around.  Some techie said that Nokia 3310 was the point of attraction at the MWC 2017.

Why Nokia 3310? why we will purchase this phone? In the era of smartphones and touchscreen phones, can Nokia 3310 even survive, I don’t think so? Today even the lower class families wanted to buy high-end smartphones.

Nokia 3310 seems like a mediocre phone. It can’t take your smart phone’s place and not even your secondary phone’s place. It has nothing to be compared with smartphones and bit costlier as compared to secondary phones of other brands.

The old one was simple, sophisticated and extra strong and that was the highlighted feature of the legendary Nokia 3310 but the new one is not near to the strongness of the old one.

The kind of hype created and rumours spread was a well-planned strategy. The company is trying to utilise the name and nostalgia of this phone to make some money and gain some foothold in the market as Nokia is also on the comeback.  

Here are few setback features of Nokia 3310

•    It uses 900MHz and 1800MHz band and these frequencies are only compatible with 2G networks only. 2G networks are almost on the verge of extinction in developed countries and also in developing countries like India. A handset must support at least four frequencies to operate around the globe. 

•     This phone is coming with just 16MB internal memory even in this century, Nokia could have included extra 500MB so a memory card is a must.

•        Earlier snake game was much better than the new version. The new one is tough and difficult to play.

•         The camera quality is below the average and it cannot even focus.

Highlighted Features

•      Nokia 3310 has a 2.40- inch screen, bigger than its predecessor.

•       It has 16MB internal storage and expandable up to 32G.

•     Nokia 3310 comes with a 2MP camera. There is no flash, HDR, Panorama mode or anything fancy.

•     It has a 1200mAh battery and lasts for 31 days on standby mode and power 22 hours talk time.

•   It is available in four colours i.e traditional dark blue, grey, psychedelic yellow and warm red as you can see in the above image.

•    It is available at around 49 euro.

•   This phone is not indestructible as the earlier on but it is really very strong.

Samsung Galaxy S8: A Phone Out of this World!

                       

Samsung a South Korea-based giant company, mostly known for its’ smartphones. With the debacle of Note 7, the company loses billions of dollars and the controversy created a fuzzy image of the company in the global market. Despite all Samsung coming back strong with Samsung Galaxy S8 and trying to hit the market hard. With the kind of hype Samsung has created, it seems like Samsung has not left even a single stone unturned. With Samsung Galaxy S8 company image and reputation will be at stake and as usual, it will prove to be a tough competitor for Apple.

Highlighted Features of Samsung Galaxy S8

                                    

1.     Samsung Galaxy S8 will have a dual-edged curved screen and it will feature a 5.5 inch 4K Super AMOLED display with an amazing pixel density of 806ppi.
2.   Galaxy S8 will not have a home button instead have a company’s logo.
3.    It will feature an iris scanner which is not a new thing as we have earlier seen this feature in Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
4.    . The fingerprint scanner will be at the back of the phone as there is no home button.
5.     Bixby is the new "intelligent assistant" for Samsung S8, like Siri in iPhone.

10. 1    Just like Apple, Samsung may ditch the 3.5mm jack and follow the footprint of Apple.
11.    S8 will also have “Heat pipe cooling system” which helps in getting rid of overheating. It takes the heat from the chipset and transfers the heat to back plate.
