Nokia 9 passes FCC with 5.5-inch OLED display, Snapdragon 835 SoC

Nokia 9 is no longer a mystery, as the upcoming smartphone has been passed through the FCC

HMD Global’s Nokia 9 has received FCC approval ahead of its speculated launch on January 19

Nokia 9 is no longer a mystery, as the upcoming smartphone has been passed through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The listing of the Nokia 9 has revealed that the phone has a model number TA-1005 and its codename is Avatar. The FCC database has seemingly confirmed the Nokia 9, along with the specifications of the flagship smartphone.

The successor to the Nokia 8 will be a high-end smartphone, and it shows. Nokia 9 is said to sport a 5.5-inch display manufactured by LG, which should offer vibrant colours and deep blacks. In comparison, Nokia 8 featured a 5.3-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440) IPS LCD display. In addition to this, Nokia 9 will likely feature a Snapdragon 835 processor and not the latest Snapdragon 845 mobile platform. It becomes more clear that Samsung is going to have dibs on the Snapdragon 845 processor for the Galaxy S9. The South Korean major has a similar deal with the Snapdragon 835 as well.

Nokia 9 has a dual-camera setup on the back, like the Nokia 8. However, the resolutions are slightly lower on the Nokia 9 with a 12MP and 13MP sensor. The device will have a 5MP snapper on the front. While we still don’t know much about the RAM size, we do know that the Nokia 9 will be getting 128GB internal storage. Plus, there will be a microSD card slot for expandable storage. As expected, the device will run Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box.

Nokia 9 will replace the Nokia 8, which made its debut in August this year. HMD Global will reportedly launch the device on January 19 in China, along with the 2018 version of the Nokia 6.

Canada debates new harassment legislation amid #MeToo storm

We can afford to do more for people who need it by doing less for people who don’t: Trudeau’s message (Photo Source: Reuters) Canada’s parliament began debate on Monday on new legislation to tighten workplace harassment rules, including those governing politicians, as allegations of sexual misconduct mounted against lawmakers on both sides of the political spectrum. The bill, introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government in November, gained a new prominence after a federal cabinet minister and two provincial party leaders stepped down last week after being accused of inappropriate behavior. While the proposed law will govern all federal workplaces, including private businesses, the environment among political staffers in Ottawa was in focus as the #MeToo social media movement gained momentum in Canada. “It clearly is a crisis in this workplace,” Employment Minister Patty Hajdu told reporters outside the House of Commons. “We talk a lot about getting wom...

Trump administration drops Obama-era easing of marijuana prosecutions

The US Justice Department on Thursday rescinded an Obama administration policy that had eased enforcement of federal marijuana laws in states that legalized the drug, instead giving federal prosecutors wide latitude to pursue criminal charges. The action by Attorney General Jeff Sessions could have damaging consequences for the burgeoning marijuana industry in the six states including California and Colorado that have legalized the drug for recreational use, plus dozens of others that permit medicinal use. Justice Department officials declined to say whether they might take legal action against those states, saying further steps were “still under consideration.” Federal law still prohibits marijuana even as some states move to legalize it. White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said President Donald Trump’s top priority was enforcing federal law “whether it’s marijuana or immigration.” The policy change, detailed by Sessions in a one-page memo to federal prosecutors nationwid...
