Nokia’s Retro Phones: A Nostalgic Solution to Social Media Overuse!

You don’t have to do extreme things to stop using social media too much. You can put your phone in a drawer or make it show colors that are not so nice to look at, but there are easier ways to take a break. Think about old-fashioned phones, for example.

These phones are like a blast from the past, when phones couldn’t go on the internet. It’s like going back to a time when your ringtone was more important than your profile picture and we used to type smiley faces in our texts.

You’re in luck if you want to feel like it’s 1999 again. Nokia has made two phones that look like the ones from the past, with buttons you can press. They remind us of the cool 8210 phone. Nokia is known for making good phones that are simple and bring back good old memories. The Nokia 150 and 130 are just like those.

So, if you still like talking on the phone instead of sending voice messages, and typing out texts instead of getting almost right messages, these phones are for you. You won’t find TikTok or Tinder on these phones, but you can play a game called Snake if you’re bored. Trust me, it’s fun to see your friend’s face when they see you playing.

The Nokia 150 also has a long battery, so you can talk a lot. And if you miss your iPod, this phone can play music, but you have to use wired headphones – no Bluetooth here.

You might still need a friend with a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 when you want to take a picture with a group. The Nokia 150’s camera is not very good, it takes pictures that aren’t so clear because of its small 0.3-megapixel lens.

They might think you’re crazy when they see that your Nokia 130 doesn’t even have a camera. But you know what? While they’re stuck on TikTok, you can enjoy nature, read a book, or meditate. And they spent a lot of money on their new phone, but you didn’t spend much on yours.

The Nokia 130 and 150 cost about £40, so they can be good gifts for young people, or good phones to use for a short time.

Tecno’s Pova 5 Pro: Powerful Features and Budget-Friendly Price

Tecno recently introduced its new smartphone, the Pova 5 Pro, in Indonesia after giving a sneak peek in India. This phone falls into the midrange category and has a cool feature on the back – a light strip that can light up to show notifications. Let’s get into the details about its specifications and price.

The Tecno Pova 5 Pro comes with a huge 6.78-inch screen that shows crisp images in Full HD+. The screen also refreshes quickly, 120 times per second, making everything look smooth. You can unlock the phone using a fingerprint sensor on the side. When it comes to taking pictures, the phone has two cameras on the back. The main one has 50 megapixels, which means it takes really clear photos. There’s another camera that uses smart technology to help improve your photos.

Inside the phone, there’s a powerful Dimensity 6080 chip that helps it work really fast. Imagine having two brains to think and work together – that’s how the 8GB of RAM and extra 8GB of “virtual” RAM make the phone multitask easily. The phone also has a lot of space for your apps, photos, and stuff with 256GB of storage.

Don’t worry about the battery running out quickly. The phone has a big 5,000mAh battery, and it charges really fast – from zero to full in no time with the 68W fast charger. The phone uses the Android 13 system, and it’s designed to stay cool even when you use it a lot, thanks to a special cooling system inside.

One cool thing that makes this phone stand out is the colorful light on the back. It lights up with different colors when you play games, charge the phone, or get messages and calls. It’s like the phone’s way of talking to you with lights.

The Pova 5 Pro also has two speakers that make your music and videos sound better. And when you touch the screen, it feels like the phone is talking back to you with small vibrations.

The phone can do many things. It can hold two SIM cards, connect to super-fast 5G internet, and also connect to Wi-Fi. It talks to other devices using Bluetooth and GPS helps it find its way. You can charge it or connect it to other things with a USB-C cable, and you can use your regular headphones with the special hole for them.

Huawei’s Anticipated Mate 60 Flagship: A Glimpse into the Future

This year, Huawei is expected to introduce its new flagship smartphone lineup, the Huawei Mate 60. While details about these devices are still limited, an insider named Digital Chat Station has shared a preview of the Mate 60’s back panel. Here’s what’s new and interesting about it:

It seems that Huawei has chosen to stick with a familiar design for the Mate 60, harking back to their 2020 Mate 40 model (shown in the main image). The most noticeable aspect is the main camera setup, which retains the circular shape, albeit slightly larger. Notably, the Leica branding that was previously seen within the camera circle has now been replaced with the word “XMAGE”.

This change suggests that Huawei will be handling the image processing capabilities internally, underscoring their commitment to enhancing the photography experience. Previous leaks have hinted at the return of the oval-shaped cutout on the display, which serves as the housing for the front camera and facial recognition sensor.

Interestingly, the design echoes a similar look found in the P40 and Mate 40 series from 2020. However, the cutout will be centered on the screen this time rather than positioned on the side. This design choice bears a resemblance to Apple’s Dynamic Island concept.

Rumors have also circulated regarding the display specifications for the Mate 60. It is said to boast a 6.7-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1.5K, promising a high-quality visual experience for users.

In simpler terms, Huawei is preparing to launch their new Mate 60 flagship smartphones. While not many details are known yet, a person who often reveals insider information, Digital Chat Station, has provided a glimpse of what the back of the Mate 60 might look like. The most noticeable change is the camera area on the back, which is round like before but a bit bigger. The word “Leica” that used to be there is now replaced with “XMAGE,” suggesting that Huawei will be doing the work to make pictures better themselves. It’s like they’re taking more control over how the camera works.

Another interesting thing is the front of the phone, where the screen is. Just like in 2020, Huawei seems to be bringing back the oval shape for the part of the screen where the front camera and face recognition sensor are. But this time, it will be in the middle of the screen, not on the side. This might look a bit like how Apple designs their screens too.

People are also talking about the display, which is like the TV of the phone. The Mate 60 could have a 6.7-inch screen that uses OLED technology, which is known for having bright and colorful images. The resolution of the screen might be 1.5K, meaning it will show pictures very clearly.

Stacked Battery Technology: A Game-Changer for Longer Battery Life and Faster Charging in Smartphones

Stacked battery technology is a new way of making batteries for smartphones. Instead of placing battery cells side-by-side, they are stacked on top of each other. This allows for more battery capacity without making the phone bigger.

The advantages of stacked battery technology are exciting. Firstly, it means smartphones can have a bigger battery without becoming bulkier. This is great because users want their phones to last longer on a single charge. Secondly, stacked batteries can charge faster because multiple battery cells can be charged together.

For example, the Samsung Galaxy S24 series is rumored to be one of the first phones to use stacked battery technology. The Galaxy S24 is expected to have a larger 5,000mAh battery compared to the Galaxy S23, but the phone’s size won’t increase.

Currently, most batteries in smartphones are made using winding technology. Winding batteries are made by rolling the positive and negative parts together like a spiral. This method is simple and cheap, but it has some problems. For instance, the battery cells can have uneven stress, which might cause them to fail prematurely.

Stacked battery technology improves on this by stacking the positive and negative parts on top of each other. This creates a more balanced structure inside the battery, making it perform better and last longer.

Here are the potential benefits of stacked battery charging:

1. Longer battery life: Stacked batteries can increase the capacity of a smartphone’s battery by up to 50%, meaning the phone can last longer between charges.

2. Faster charging speeds: Stacked batteries allow for faster charging because multiple cells can be charged at the same time, reducing the overall charging time.

3. Smaller phones: With stacked batteries, phones can be made smaller without sacrificing battery life. The batteries take up less space since they are stacked closely together.

However, there are some challenges with stacked battery technology:

1. Cost: Stacked batteries are more expensive to make compared to traditional batteries. The process of stacking and aligning the cells precisely adds to the manufacturing costs.

2. Safety: If not properly managed, stacked batteries can overheat and become a safety risk. This is why proper cooling mechanisms are essential.

3. Reliability: Stacked battery technology is relatively new, and its long-term performance is not yet fully understood due to limited data from smartphone usage.

Samsung is reportedly planning to use stacked batteries in their Galaxy S24 series, and Apple’s iPhone 15 series may also adopt this technology. However, due to limited production capabilities, this feature might be exclusive to certain models. To address potential safety concerns, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is rumored to have cooling gel within the stacked
