Flashback: Nokia N97 was an "iPhone killer" that helped kill Nokia instead

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was the first Symbian S60 phone with a touchscreen released by the Finnish company. It wasn’t a great phone by any means, but an aggressive price and a generous retail package pushed it along to 8 million sales in its first year, a decent success. But if the 5800 wasn’t perfect, the Nokia N97, which was supposed to be the company’s top phone in the fight against the iPhone, was an outright disappointment. Don’t take our word for it, here’s what Anssi Vanjoki, Executive VP of Markets at Nokia, had to say about it. “The N97 has been a tremendous success for us when...

Amazfit Bip U Review

Huami launched three smartwatches under Amazfit's Bip series this year - Bip S, Bip S Lite, and Bip U.

Amazfit Bip U specifications Display: 1.43", 320x302 pixel TFT color screen, 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 Straps: Detachable silicone rubber straps, 20mm width, 76-118mm adjustable...

Weekly poll: will you be buying a Realme 7 5G during the Black Friday deals?

Realme launched its first 5G phones earlier this year, but they were part of the premium X-series. Now the company is ready to bring out mid-rangers with next-gen connectivity. Ready to bring them globally, that is, as there are already a few models available in China. In fact, the new Realme 7 5G, which was announced this week, is nearly identical to the Realme Q2 from October. The Q-series was exclusive to China, of course, so Europeans should think of the new model as a "Realme 7 on steroids". Realme 7 5G in Baltic Blue It has the same 48MP main and 8MP ultrawide cameras,...
