Nokia D1C to have two hardware versions, specs leak

2017 will be the year of the Nokia brand's re-entry into the smartphone space. This has already been confirmed multiple times by the Finnish company itself, most recently a couple of weeks ago. One of the first new Android-powered devices to bear the Nokia name is set to be the D1C, which we've so far seen leaked in three different benchmark databases. And while one of those pegged its screen size at 13.8", the reality is that this will in fact be a phone, according to a new rumor on the matter.

Well, not one phone, but two actually. Apparently we're set to see a lower-end 5-inch Nokia D1C with a 1080p touchscreen, 2GB of RAM, a 13 MP main camera, an 8 MP selfie shooter, and 16GB of built-in storage. It will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset, sporting a 1.4 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and an Adreno 505 GPU. It will run Android 7.0 Nougat.

Another D1C variation will keep all of those specs, except for packing a bigger 5.5-inch display (with the same 1080p resolution though), a 16 MP rear camera, and 3GB of RAM. Both models are already in the prototype testing phase, say purportedly reliable sources. Additionally, one or both of them might look similar to what's pictured in the renders above.

No clues about pricing have been outed yet, or any specific release time frame. Nokia could make these official at MWC in February, or it may hold a special event of its own at some other time for their introduction.

Android Nougat Open Beta 8 now available for OnePlus 3

Good News for OnePlus 3 users. The company has finally rolled out Android Nougat Open Beta 8 forOnePlus 3. Earlier this month, OnePlus said that it will release the beta version of Android Nougat this month with the stable build to be released next month.

Note that, you will have to flash this version manually (no OTA) even if you are running on previous betaversions. Also, once installed you cannot go back to Marshmallow without resetting the Operating System. For that, we would strongly recommend you to contact the OnePlus support to help you install the previous stable build again. This new beta 8 brings in all the features from Android Nougat such as new notification design, new settings menu, multi-window view, notification direct reply, custom DPI support etc. Apart from this, OnePlus has also included a bunch of extra features including status bar icons, quick launch for third-party apps, and new customizations for Shelf.

Further, since this is a beta version, there will be bugs. Also, OnePlus apparently revealed that Android Pay may not work properly on this build. Apart from that, we expect some stability and performance issues as well.

Nevertheless, it's good to see OnePlus sticking to its words which would mean that we might see the stable Nougat build for our beloved OnePlus 3 next month as mentioned by the company before. If you can't wait for the stable build, you can download the .zip file from the link given above, or else wait for the official stable build which would be pushed via OTA (Over-The-Air) sometime next month. Also, we would not be surprised if OnePlus release Android Nougat beta for OnePlus 3T in the coming week.
