Nokia 9 PureView, The Smartphone With Five Main Camera, Would Launch In The US Soon

Just a couple of days ago, Nokia 9 PureView obtained the FCC certification. With that occasion, many additional details about this smartphone with five main cameras emerged. Now, another leak revealed that Nokia 9 PureView would launch in the US soon.

The FCC certification showed us that there would be three Nokia 9 PureView variants, as rumored before. One of these versions would be a Single-SIM Nokia 9 PureView, about which we don’t know yet where it will launch. As for the other models, we’ll have a Nokia 9 PureView Dual-SIM (TA-1087) that would be the international variant and another Dual-SIM Nokia 9 PureView dedicated to the Chinese market only.

Also, it’s not clear if all the three variants would come out with Android One. According to the FCC certification, it’s confirmed that only the Chinese Nokia 9 PureView model would equip Android One, while the models available in Taiwan would not. But, at least, we now know for sure that Nokia 9 PureView would boast five main cameras, thanks to a sketch filed by HMD to FCC.

Nokia 9 PureView, The Smartphone With Five Main Camera, Would Launch In The US

As for the recent leak, it suggests that Nokia 9 PureView TA-1087 Dual-SIM variant is going to ship to the US. All that information is available thanks to a retailer sticker posted by FCC. The label mentions the model (TA-1087) and its SKU, the color, which is blue, in this case, the country – USA, and other details that don’t matter for our discussion.

It seems that there is no carrier name mentioned on the sticker, so we should expect that Nokia 9 PureView to roll out across the US as an unlocked smartphone.

As for its technical specs, Nokia 9 PureView boasts a 5.99-inch screen with a 2K resolution with HDR10 support, in-display fingerprint sensor, Snapdragon 845, and 6GB RAM and 128 Gb of internal storage.

Netflix To Get A New Rival As The Apple Streaming Service Might Get Official Announcement In March

Apple will hold an event in March during which the company plans to present some of its products and discuss the company’s future plans. According to some sources cited by Bloomberg, the Cupertino-based company would also reveal the so-called Apple streaming service in March to rival with Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Besides, what we know so far is that Apple would most likely launch another subscription-based product, a sort of news service. At least, that’s what BuzzFeed News reported. As for Apple’s subscription-based streaming service, Bloomberg noted that “the video service is similar to Amazon.com Inc.’s Prime Video and Netflix Inc. products, and will include TV shows and movies either acquired or funded by Apple. The company has created dozens of original programs so far but hasn’t wrapped them in a subscription yet. The paid service will launch by the summer, the people said. They asked not to be identified discussing private plans.”

The upcoming Apple streaming service would rival Netflix, directly

Bloomberg also added that the future Apple streaming service would also offer some free content (maybe Apple’s original TV series and movies), but the clients would have to pay to access the productions of other providers. However, we shouldn’t expect the streaming service to go live soon after the event, as Bloomberg said. The platform would become available in summer, according to some sources close to Apple.

As for other products of the Cupertino-based company, we don’t expect to see any of them launched during the upcoming March event Apple will hold. Thus, iPad Mini 5 and AirPods 2 are not going to roll out during Apple’s conference next month. In other news, however, it seems that Apple has sent invitations to some Hollywood stars, including Jeniffer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, JJ Abrams, and Jennifer Garner, so the tech giant might indeed focus on the subscription-based Apple streaming service to rival Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Google Chrome Received 12 New Themes, Including A “Just Black” One In A Preview For Dark Mode

Google Chrome on PC and laptops is more customizable than its Android counterpart, for example. You can install various themes to enjoy a new experience with Chrome. Now, directly from the Chrome team, Google Chrome received 12 new themes, including a “Just Black” one which looks like the upcoming dark mode that the company plans to roll out for its browser for Windows.

The best part of these new themes for Google Chrome is that they come straight from the Chrome team. You can add any of these new 12 themes by going to chrome://settings/appearance. Among the new color options to make your experience with Chrome fun and more enjoyable than usual, you’ll also find Just Black.

This Just Black theme is looking like a dark mode, the feature that is so much popular lately and which Google wants to add to Chrome for Windows and Android after it successfully implemented the night mode on its browser version for macOS Mojave to match the system’s own Dark Mode.

Google Chrome Got New Themes, Including a “Just Black” One in a Sort of Preview for The Upcoming Dark Mode

As I’ve already said, Just Black, one of the new themes Google Chrome received, resembles the dark mode that would come soon on Chrome for Windows and Android. Just Black changes the home screen, tabs, bookmarks bar, and everything else in the main interface of Google Chrome from white into black and grey shades. However, the other menus remain white.

Nonetheless, Just Black looks excellent and it’s relaxing when used in low-light conditions. But this sort of dark mode is not the only theme that Google Chrome received recently. There are also some colorful options like the High Contrast Colorful, Pretty in Pink, Banana, Ultra Violet, and more.

Also, there is a classy and relaxing Slate theme colored in dark blue shades. Check the image below to see all the themes released by Chrome team (except for Classic Blue and Black & White, every other theme is new).

WhatsApp Plus 6.88 Rolled Out With Some New Features and Improvements

WhatsApp Messenger remains the most popular instant messaging app on Android and iOS, as well. However, even though it comes with a lot of functions and many more are about to be added to the application in the future, users would love to get more of WhatsApp. Thankfully, there are the so-called WhatsApp mods which keep the mainframe of WhatsApp but add their own features and functions. WhatsApp Plus is one of the most appreciated WhatsApp mods, and, recently, WhatsApp Plus 6.88 rolled out with some new features and improvements.

WhatsApp Plus Boasts More Features Than The Original WhatsApp

WhatsApp can ban users if they send multiple messages, thinking of those as spam. With WhatsApp Plus, users don’t have to worry about that anymore since this WhatsApp mod comes with an anti-ban feature. Besides, WhatsApp Plus allows us to hide last seen or blue ticks so that our contacts won’t see when we’ve been online last time or when we’ve read a message we received.

Also, different from the original WhatsApp, WhatsApp Plus is even more customizable with dozens of themes, backgrounds, and more. Nonetheless, WhatsApp Plus permits users to send all types of files how much they want, without limitations.

WhatsApp Plus 6.88 Comes With New Features and Improvements

The new WhatsApp Plus 6.88 updated its WhatsApp core to the 2.18.327 version, plus that it comes with new features. It now permits users to use their stickers or use any third-party stickers app, access and install new fonts to personalize their chats even more and install a new application for downloading wallpapers so that they can apply directly to the WhatsApp Plus interface.

Besides, the new WhatsApp Plus 6.88 version added a dialog box when users are using the Call Group Chat feature and several under the hood improvements for stability and performance.

Is It Safe To Install WhatsApp Plus 6.88?

The app itself is safe, but since you can’t find it on Google Play Store, you have to rely on APK sites which might not be as safe as they seem. WhatsApp Plus 6.88 is, therefore, available as an APK file, so use only trustworthy sources such as APK Mirror, Aptoide or UpToDown to be sure you’ll get a malware-free WhatsApp Plus 6.88.
