So this is how the Nokia 9 will look like

 By Vaibhav Jain on September 24, 2017       

Nokia is all set to reveal its trump card, the Nokia 9 with almost Bezel-less display, dual camera, and other 2017 flagship features. We haven't seen any possible renders or live images of the Nokia 9, but that's going to change today, thanks to an alleged leak from baidu.

As you can see in the below and above Sketch (Sort of), the Nokia 9 looks gorgeous with bent display just like what we've seen in the Galaxy Note Edge. The device looks promising with tiny top and bottom chin.

One thing that is worth noticing is that the Nokia 9 will be having rear fingerprint sensor instead of front fingerprint+home buttons, which can be found in previous Nokia Smartphones including the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and Nokia 8.

This leaked design is very likely going to be the real deal, as it came from trusted Nokia leaker Nokibar. That said, Nokia is expected to reveal the Nokia 9 along with the Nokia 2 later this year.

Recently Nokia announced the Nokia 8 with Outdated 5.3-inch QHD IPS display with huge chin and top bezels. It is powered by the Snapdragon 835 SoC, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage. The phone comes dual rear cameras with Zeiss Optics, Splashproof (IP54), OZO 360-degree Audio, and includes USB Type-C port, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC. The phone runs Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

Nokia 9 is going to be the same as the Nokia 8 in terms of Specs. However, the devices will differ in terms of design. Yes, the Nokia 9 is going to be much more expensive than the Nokia 8. Thoughts?

LineageOS 15 Android 8.0 O News, Features, and Release Date

 By Vaibhav Jain on September 23, 2017       

According to the latest reports, Google will be pushing Official Android O (8.0) update for the Pixel, Nexus and, latest Android One Smartphones in August. Along with the final Android O build, Google will also release the Source code, which will help developers building custom roms based on Android O.

LineageOS is the latest sensation among custom rom lovers and developers. We already know that the Lineage OS is a continuation of what CyanogenMod was. LineageOS is one of the fastest growing community and it is now supporting thousands of devices. With the release of final Android O, Lineage is expected to announce the LineageOS 15 based on Android 8.0 for most of the existing as well as new Android Smartphones.

In this Article, we'll be tracking and updating all the News, Rumors, Features, and Release date of the upcoming LineageOS 15.

LineageOS 15 Android 8.0 O Expected Features:-

Starting with the Features, we have already seen the new features of Android O including Notification badges, Advance Snoozing, Notification timeouts, Background colors, Picture-in-Picture mode, Pinning shortcuts and widgets, New emojis, Autofill, and more. So, technically LineageOS will be coming with these new features including Android O's whole new Interface (White Quick Setting tiles, new Settings UI, and other apps).

Additionally, Lineage is expected to bring "Themes" functionality to the Custom Rom. We have seen Cyanogen doing wonders with its Theme Engine, but with the death of Cyanogen, the theme engine cannot be ported to Lineage. So, Linage will be bringing something new or might even merge with Substratum.

LineageOS 15 Android 8.0 O Release Date:-

As said, Google is now all set to release the final build of Android 8.0 along with its source code in August. So, expect LineageOS 15 or any other custom rom by the end of 2017. 

Note: All these are based on rumors, none of the information is confirmed by Official LineageOS community.

That said, we'll be updating the Article as soon as we get any news about LineageOS 15. Are you excited about the LineageOS 15? Let us know in the below comment section!
