Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 and Gear S4 Release Date on August 31th

With the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launch event on August 9, many users were expecting to see not one, but three new devices unveiled. However, according to the newest update, Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 and Gear S4 will not be launched at the same time as Galaxy Note 9.

August 31st as the earliest launch date

The new expected debut for both Galaxy Tab S4 and Gear S4 was announced via Twitter by SamsungMobile.News. The tweet states that most probably the launch will take place during the IFA event in Berlin, which is scheduled to start on August 31st.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4

The Korean company is currently developing a new tablet. According to available reports, Galaxy Tab S4 will run the Android 8.1.0 Oreo operating system. This tablet will be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 1.90 GHz octa-core processor, while having 4GB of RAM. Galaxy Tab S4 will have a 10.5 inch QHD display with an aspect ratio of 8:5 and a screen resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. When it comes to the camera, this tablet will have two of them: the front one with 8MP and 12MP with flash on the back.

Samsung Gear S4

Talking about the new smartwatch developed by Samsung, it is important to mention that most probably it will use a new operating system. According to Evan Blass, who is regarded as a reliable leaker, Gear S4 will be based on Wear OS, therefore replacing Tizen. Another notable improvement will be the battery: compared to the 380mAh battery of Gear S3, the new capacity will be 470mAh.

It looks like the earliest launch date of Galaxy Tab S4 and Gear S4 will be August 31st. However, judging by the leaks, these two devices might be well worth of such a long wait.

Electra iOS 11.3.1 Jailbreak Public Release Coming

As Apple is getting closer to launching iOS 12 to the general public, the hacker known as CoolStar is adding the finishing touches to a new iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak. The hacker managed to successful jailbreak iOS 11.3.1, but he still needs to patch some bugs before releasing it for everyone to download. On the bright side of things, CoolStar keeps jailbreak fans updated with the latest news and it looks like the jailbreak tool will arrive sooner than expected.

Electra iOS 11.3.1 Jailbreak

The latest news from CoolStar are showing that the hacker is planning to launch the highly anticipated Electra iOS 11.3.1 Jailbreak straight to public release. This means that there won’t be a beta or developer version of the tool and that jailbreak fans will be able to install a fully functional Cydia right from the start.

Three Copies of the Tool

Currently, there are three copies of Electra iOS 11.3.1. However, CoolStar said that he doesn’t feel like launching the beta and developer versions is worth it and he will only launch the final version. In addition, CoolStar is advising iPhone owners to switch to iOS 11.1.2 until then.

Cydia is Running Successfully

We should also mention that a team member of Electra known as “nullpixel” recently shared a couple of screenshots that showed Cydia running on iOS 11.3.1. The screenshots were accompanied by the following message: “This feels really good! @coolstarorg good work on the bug, @Pwn20wnd great cli to exploit”.

Nullpixel said that the reason why the public version of Electra iOS 11.3.1 is not released already is because the hackers are waiting on a rootFS remount that will be delivered by Jonathan Levin. We don’t know when Jonathan Levin will finish the rootFS remount, but we will keep readers updates as soon as that happens!

HMD Global launched Nokia 2 last year and the smartphone has been quite successful. Nokia 2 is not a high-end smartphone, but it does offer quality hardware specs which are accompanied by an affordable price and this is what makes the smartphone so popular. Nonetheless, Nokia 2 owners should be happy to know that they can get their hands on Google’s latest Android 8.1 Oreo operating system update ahead of everyone else.

Nokia 2 Receives Android 8.1 Oreo Beta

Juho Sarvikas who is the Chief Product Officer of HMD Global announced today that Nokia 2 owners can download Android 8.1 Oreo Beta.

Even though the new update might be in beta, the final build will start rolling out OTA (over the air) during the upcoming future.

Affordable Smartphone

Nearly every tech company tries to create affordable smartphones that cater to the masses. However, they all pale in comparison with the products that Nokia offers.

Hardware Power

The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 212 CPU. This is a quad-core CPU which clocks at 1.3GHz Cortex-A7. Things get even better than this since Nokia 2’s CPU is paired with an Adreno 304 graphics processing unit and 1GB of RAM. The smartphone features 8GB of internal storage space, but Nokia fans who want more can expand it up to 128GB via a microSD card.

Display Technology

Despite being categorized as an affordable smartphone, Nokia 2 ships with a large 5.0-inches LTPS IPS LCD display which features a pixel resolution of 720 x 1280. Additionally, the display is coated in Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which enhances its resistance.
