New Nokia 6.2 and 7.2 phones revamp HMD’s midrange lineup


One of HMD’s biggest strengths for its Nokia line of phones has been that it has devices at nearly every price and spec level. At IFA 2019, the company announced the newest updates for its middle-of-the-road phones: the new Nokia 6.2 and the Nokia 7.2.
Visually speaking, the two phones share a lot in common due to a shared chassis and design. Both offer a refreshed design that combines an aluminum chassis with a die-cast polymer on top, which is sandwiched between glass on the front and back of the device.
The front of the phone sees the biggest major update for both the 6.2 and the 7.2: a new 6.3-inch FHD+ panel with a teardrop notch that features Nokia’s “PureDisplay” technology, which promises improved color accuracy and range. The phones will also scale all content into HDR, thanks to a dedicated display processor.
On the back, there’s a fingerprint sensor and a new triple-camera setup, although the 6.2 and 7.2 offer vastly different specs as far as photography is concerned, which leads to the primary difference between the two phones.
The cheaper 6.2 offers a 16-megapixel main camera, a 118-degree wide angle lens at 8 megapixels, and a depth sensor for portrait mode shots.
The 7.2 also offers a triple-camera system, but with much better specs: it features a half-inch sensor for a 48-megapixel main camera, along with the same 8-megapixel 118-degree wide angle lens and 5-megapixel depth sensor. Nokia is also partnering with Zeiss for the 7.2 to mimic specific bokeh effects from Zeiss lenses on the software side of things, with three different Zeiss bokeh modes.
The differences also extend to the CPU: the Nokia 6.2 has a weaker processor, offering a Qualcomm 636 chipset, compared to the Qualcomm 660 on the Nokia 7.2. Additionally, the 7.2 will have a frosted-glass back panel to help differentiate it, along with a third, striking cyan green color option. Both phones will offer 4GB of RAM and feature a 3,500mAh battery, along with a dedicated Google Assistant button.
The Nokia 6.2 will be available for 209 euros. It’ll also come to the US, but price and release dates have yet to be confirmed. The Nokia 7.2 will cost $349 (the same as the Nokia 7.1), and it should be out at the end of September.

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

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.
