Palm Is The Smallest Android Smartphone Of The Moment

From the manufacturers of Palm, the famous PDA devices which were very popular in the 1990s, here come the “Palm,” which is the smallest Android smartphone of the moment. This gadget would come out in November as a Verizon-exclusive product aiming to be an add-on to your primary handsets.

According to the guys from The Verge, who tested the upcoming Android smartphone from Palm, the device shares your regular phone number and runs Android 8.1 Oreo and all the usual apps within Google Play Store. “It’s like a phone for your phone,” The Verge said. The tech news portal added that the Palm smartphone also boasts Gorilla Glass 3 on display but also on its glassy backside.

The Palm smartphone boasts a 3.3-inch display with 445-PPI and LCD technology. It also packs a 12-megapixel main camera with LED and an 8-MP selfies camera. They didn’t reveal many under the hood technical specs, besides the fact that it comes with 32 Gb of internal storage.

Palm Is The Smallest Android Smartphone Of The Moment

“There’s a single virtual button on the bottom. You tap it once to go back, twice to go home, and long-press it to get to the multitasking screen. Since there are no volume buttons, you need to swipe down the quick settings panel to adjust that. And since there’s no fingerprint sensor, Palm wrote a custom face-unlock feature that uses the 8-megapixel front camera,” according to The Verge.

Also, the Palm, the smallest Android smartphone of the moment, is also boasting a Life Mode that “enables a set of Do Not Disturb and Low Battery settings.”

“In Life Mode, your notifications are obviously turned off, but Palm is also turning off the wireless radios. The cellular and Wi-Fi radios will only turn on when the screen is on. It’s a much more aggressive way to turn off notifications and deny incoming phone calls,” the folks from The Verge said.

iOS 13 Leaks and Rumors – What To Expect From iOS 13?

In 2018, Apple launched a series of new smartphones, such as iPhone Xs, Xs Max, iPhone XR, and a new Apple Watch Series 4. Besides, the Cupertino-based company also rolled out its new iOS 12 with many fresh features and functions. However, iOS 13 leaks and rumors have already emerged on the Internet. What to expect from iOS 13?

Since iOS 7, Apple did not implement many changes in its OS for mobile devices. Year after year, Apple only added some features and new functions but, overall, there is nothing notable regarding the changes the tech giant added to iOS.

According to Mark Gorman, a Bloomberg contributor, the upcoming iOS 13, allegedly codenamed “Yukon,” would boast an entirely different Home Screen with new icons. Gorman also confirmed some iOS 13 leaks and rumors reported by Axios, such as the enhanced photo-taking, editing and sharing, and a new mail and in-car user interface.

iOS 13 Leaks and Rumors – What To Expect From iOS 13?

Last time Apple implemented a Home Screen change was in iOS 7, back in 2013. Accordingly, the modifications debated by Mark Gorman would be the most significant in 5 years.

Miami Morning Star reported that the following features would most likely come to iOS 13:

  • cross-platform support between the next iOS and macOS 10.15;
  • a new set of emojis;
  • new and enhanced Apple Pencil;

However, there is nothing official on the future iOS 13, so many of these iOS 13 leaks and rumors might turn out to be fake, eventually. As for the iOS 13 release date, we don’t yet know when the new Apple’s OS version for mobile devices would come out. But, Apple might present the new iOS 13 version during its WWCD.

Accordingly, since the Apple WWCD event is set for June 2019, we might have a worldwide available iOS 13 version by September next year. Of course, in the meantime, many iOS leaks and rumors would come out.

Winamp Music Player Will Make Its Comeback In 2019

The Winamp music player, which has been in existence for 21 years now, is still alive. The renowned software will make its comeback in a brand new version in 2019.

At its time, long before iTunes was so popular and long before streaming services like Spotify or Deezer, Winamp dominated the music player industry. It was the must-have music player for anyone who was listening to MP3 files. The situation has obviously changed a lot over the previous years with music platforms and even music players moving to the online ecosystem.

Winamp music player will make its comeback in 2019

According to a TechCrunch report, Winamp should make its comeback in 2019. That was reported by Alexandre Saboundjian, CEO of Radionomy, who bought Winamp in 2014. Saboundjian said that we should expect an entirely new version that would aim to make the software the most significant music platform in the world.

According to Alexandre Saboundjian, “there will be a brand new version next year, with Winamp’s legacy, but for a complete listening experience. You can listen to the MP3s you have at home but also to music stored in the cloud, podcasts, streams, radio stations or a playlist, why not, that you would have made. People want a unique experience. I think Winamp is the perfect music player to bring this to everyone. And we want people to have it on all their devices.”

Winamp music player would reenter the market with high expectations

For the moment, the details of the new Winamp project are slim, except for the confirmation of a new Winamp music player that would come in 2019. To be honest, Winamp never really disappeared since 2014 when Radionomy bought the brand.

Even though it has never been officially updated since then, it continued to exist. The question now is whether software like Winamp music player still has its place in the landscape today.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 To Launch On October 25th With A Sliding Selfies Camera

It’s already official that the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 has a release date, and that would be on October 25th. This Chinese smartphone is perhaps one of the most sought-after models of what remains of the year, surely the one that has more capacity to surprise users, who think they have seen everything in 2018.

In the presentation of Mi Mix 3, we will see some surprises, at least according to the promotional poster with which Xiaomi has announced the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 release date. The ad revealed one of the new features of the phone. That is the selfies camera, which like the Oppo Find X will be a sliding camera. That means that it will be hidden behind the screen and will only be displayed when you need it to take a photo.

It is a solution implemented by manufacturers to boast larger display on their smartphone without adopting a notch. It has its difficulties, for sure, even though, for now, in the Oppo the system has not given any problem.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 might boast a Snapdragon 845 processor

The last phone in this series, the Mi Mix 2S, placed the selfies camera in the lower left corner. The result must not have been satisfactory enough, so they continued to explore other alternatives.

Besides the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 release date, which would be October 25th, not much is known about the technical specs of the upcoming Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. It will probably boast a Snapdragon 845 processor since Xiaomi equipped other of its high-end devices with this chipset. However, there are many doubts regarding the display’s size.

Perhaps, to give it an even more excellent touch, the brand might finally decide that it’s time to switch to QHD+ or even OLED panels, although that would significantly increase the price of the phone, which would place it among the high-end smartphones.
