Nokia 8 isn't coming to the US and China
on
HMD did not released the specific market list in which it would be releasing the Nokia 8, but told CNBC that it would launch in countries which are accustomed to higher average selling prices of phones.
"The U.S. requires a separate strategy, even a separate portfolio and tech investment so we are not in a rush today around that because we are seeing such strong demand across the globe,"
The Nokia 8 will not launch in China, as the company is crafting a specific strategy around the world's biggest smartphone market, and will launch specific devices tailored to consumers there.
"China is a big focus market and we will make announcements on those dedicated products there in the future," Seiche told CNBC.

Moto X4 Will Be Worth The Wait
on
Waiting for the Moto X4 release date will be tough and we’re here to tell you why waiting is the right decision.
AI Integration
Few months ago a strange video leaked online, where someone was demonstrating the features of the Moto X4. One of the key feature listed was "AI Integration".
Lenovo has already started developing its own AI assistant that will be called CAVA. Lenovo intends for the AI assistant to analyze your commands and provide suggestions based on your message. To do so, CAVA will develop systems that recognize a human face and understand natural language using deep learning technology.
With these two news, we assume that the Moto X4 will be the first device to have CAVA AI assistant Integration.
That Design
The Moto X4 design is no longer a mystery, as the device has been leaked a couple of times. Leaked renders shows the Moto X4 in Super Black and Sterling Blue and it looks pretty HOT!
We've that gorgeous 5.2" display running edge-to-edge with nice curves going from back to the front. Couple that COOL rear design we haven't seen before in any Smartphone.
IP68 is Back
We've seen Motorola doing wonders with the IP68 certified Moto G 3rd Generation (2015) and Moto G Turbo Edition. However, Motorola ditched this feature in all the Official 2016 and 2017 models with it's not so safe Splash-proof technology.
But, It's Back! The Motorola Moto X4 will be coming with IP68 dust and water certification.
At Last Stock Android
One of the enormous strengths of Motorola devices is the fact that they offer near stock Android. One of the sole reasons for Moto brand’s success is its Android skin.
The Moto X4, Of course will offer the Stock Android with Latest version and that's one of the reason why the Moto X4 will be an Instant buy for me.
Specs and Price
The Moto X4 will feature a 5.2-inch Full HD glass layered display with 3D glass on top. The device will be available in Super Black or Sterling Blue measuring in at 148.35 x 73.4 x 7.99 mm and weighing in at 163 grams. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 630 chipset (eight cores all running at 2.2GHz), Adreno 508 GPU along with 3/4GB of RAM and 32/64GB of internal storage. The device will sport a 3000mAh battery.
To the Camera side, the Moto X4 will feature 12MP rear shooter with dual pixel autofocus, f/2.0 aperture and 1.4µm pixel size, while the other 8MP ultra-wide sensor will feature f/2.2 aperture, 1.12µm pixel size and 120° field of view. There's going to be a 16MP sensor to shoot selfies.
Rumor says that the Moto X4 32GB variant will likely cost 350 Euro (₹26000/$400), which is really a good price.
Don’t you think you should maybe wait until Motorola Moto X4 arrive before pulling the trigger on a new phone?

Moto X Play, Moto G4 Play Enthusiasts are Still Waiting for their Android Nougat Update
on
Google released Nougat almost an entire year ago, and few of the Motorola Smartphones including the Moto X Play, Moto X Pure Edition, and Moto G4 Play are still without it.
Back in October 2016, Motorola did confirmed that Most of the Motorola Smartphones including those three will get Android Nougat and it's almost Mid of August (2017) and the Moto X Play, Moto X Pure Edition, and Moto G4 Play still remains on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with a dated security patch level.
All we know at this point is that, yes, Lenovo is testing Nougat on these phone. The company isn’t providing a timetable like it did earlier this year, though. That’s likely because it doesn’t want to give false hope and disappointment to thier customers.
The Droid Maxx 2 is also eligible for Android Nougat update but there is no word on it till date.
Chances for this category of Motorola customers to receive "Android 7.0" update are slim to none however, due to the fact that the company is currently dedicating its time and resources towards sending out the Android 7.1.1 Nougat to the premier devices of the moment. It won't come as a surprise if the Moto X Play, Moto X Pure Edition, and Moto G4 Play gets the latest version Android 7.1.1 and not the Android 7.0.
That said, it's time for Lenovo and Motorola to release the most awaited Android Nougat update for these Smartphones. If delayed more the users will eventually choose another brand or will end up Installing a custom firmware to update their devices.
How to track a cell phone!
on
If you thought your mobile phone guarantees you unchecked privacy, you need to think again. The reason is that with an increase in the level of crimes, we are seeing that privacy getting eroded as time goes by. This is because the advent of mobile telephony has become a convenient tool for criminals to ply their dirty trade. This trend has led to state agents resorting to complex tracking as a means of curbing crime. The police the world over use tracking tools to enhance their how to track a cell phone strategies. But how exactly does the police track people’s phones? Getting an answer to this question is paramount since it affects you as a free citizen in a civilized age. In the remaining sections of this discussion, we shall look at how the police and other state agents can snoop on your phone for other reasons beyond just enforcing the law.
Once you get yourself on the right side of the law, you can go on with your spying mission using a cell phone spy app from a credible supplier like https://www.mspy.com/.
How to track a cell phone: Using triangulation
The first way that the police can track your phone is using a method called triangulation. For this tracking to take place, your phone needs to be on so that the device connects to a tower for easy tracking by law enforcement agents.
Using your SIM card registration details
Another method the police use to aid them in their spying mission is the details you used to register your SIM card on the day you bought it. Law enforcement agents can request your mobile phone service provider to furnish them with the details that include your full names and address.
Tracking using Android location history
If you own and use an Android device, then be sure that you are an easy target of state spying. The reason is that Android keeps a record of all your location history by default, meaning that you do not need to do any backup. By using Google Map, the police can easily access this data and track you for whatever reason they might have.
Monitoring using IMEI
Additionally, the IMEI of your mobile phone is another tool that the police can use to monitor your cell phone. Whenever you make a phone call, your mobile service provider takes note of your phone’s IMEI because it reflects in the details of the calls you make.
Using your phone number
As long as you are using your phone to make calls, you remain in a private mode from people who are not listening to your calls. But as far as your mobile service provider is concerned, your very mobile phone number is enough to betray you into the hands of state investigators.
Your service provider storage
If you thought that switching off your phone keeps you private, then it is better to think again. The reason is that when the police need to get your personal details, they can simply contact your mobile service provider. These telephony companies have this information because they connect you to a tower when you make a call or send a text message. This way, the company records all these details and can hand them over to the police for investigation should they request for it.
Monitoring using Stingray
Lastly, state agents can use this sophisticated method to track mobile phones randomly. But how does this technology work? Stingray is a technology that is designed to perform military spying in foreign missions. The system is a small device that the police can mount in a vehicle or an airplane to monitor cell phone activities. It works by impersonating a call tower so that it tricks mobile phones into thinking it is communicating with a phone tower by sharing its identity and voice call details. This way, the big brothers can tap into the communication of the device they are tracking and any other phone around it. However, this method has come under sharp criticism from human rights advocates and legal professionals citing the intrusion on people’s privacy.
A cloud of secrecy
But despite the fact that the police should obtain a warranty before using Stingray to spy on civilians, they are still using this technology secretly. The reason is that federal judges in the US can throw out any evidence the police present before them using evidence gathered from Stingray unless they have an official warranty.
But are the police or any other person legally and morally justified to spy on your cell phone? The answers may vary depending on the stakes at hand and on whether they do it lawfully or not.
