This could be our first look at an Android-powered feature phone from Nokia

Nokia logo on the Nokia 3310.
Even though Nokia still sells feature phones, a leak from 9to5Google earlier today revealed what could be an Android-powered Nokia feature phone.
Based on a leaked image from an anonymous tipster, the phone looks remarkably similar to the Nokia 220. Because we’re supposedly looking at a feature phone, we see the familiar trappings of one: a four-directional d-pad, call and call end buttons opposite of each other, two additional buttons above the call and call end buttons, and a T9 keyboard.
The image also gives us a look at the software. The status bar features indicators for the connection type, signal strength, battery, and time. In the middle is Google’s microphone icon, which could bring up Google Assistant when selected. It could also be used for standard voice searches.
There’s also a Change speaking language indicator. It may or may not be related to the microphone icon.
Leaked image of a Nokia feature phone running AndroidNear the bottom is a row of five icons, with what looks to be an app drawer icon in the middle. We recognize the Camera, Chrome, and YouTube icons, though the green icon with opposite-facing arrows is new to us. This could be some version of Google Translate, since the arrows appear similar to those used by the translation app.
Lastly, there’s a row of options at the bottom. The options include Alerts, Select, and Settings.
We don’t know much else about the software. However, 9to5Google learned the software on Android feature phones is different from Android Go. The traditional Android app switcher will reportedly be unavailable if there isn’t a dedicated button for it.

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few clicks on your
