Looks like there will be no Nokia flagship this year

Nokia 9 PureView Review

Nokia’s Snapdragon 865 flagship may not launch this year.
The phone is apparently delayed till the first half of 2021.
Considering HMD Global’s erratic launch timelines, this isn’t really surprising.

Call it the curse of the pandemic or plain old mismanagement, but it looks like the Nokia 9.3 PureView, or whatever the company’s next flagship is called, will not make it to market this year.

According to tipster Nokia Anew, the successor to the Nokia 9 PureView has been delayed until next year, specifically the first half of 2021. The exact date or month of launch is still unknown, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it’s pushed even further or if HMD Global decides to skip the Snapdragon 865 flagship altogether.

As per previous rumors, the so-called Nokia 9.3 PureView has been delayed several times this past year. A report in September pegged the launch of the phone for November this year. That clearly hasn’t happened and there are no official teasers or announcements from HMD Global to suggest the phone will launch anytime soon. For what it’s worth, we asked HMD earlier this month whether it plans to launch a flagship phone before the end of 2020, but it refused to comment.

It’s not surprising that HMD Global’s flagship launch plans seem to be up in the air. The company had the same problem with the Nokia 8.3 5G, which only made it to store shelves six months after it was first announced in March this year.

That said, the long gaps between flagship Nokia phones are definitely confusing and make us wonder what the company is thinking. It has been well over a year since the penta-camera Nokia 9 flagship launched, that too with an older chipset. HMD Global really needs to get its act together if it wants to stay competitive and relevant in the smartphone industry.

For now, it seems the company is more focused on bringing back nostalgic retro phones than making Android devices that matter.

Huawei Watch Fit hands on: The skinny Apple Watch

The Huawei Watch Fit looks like what you’d get if you threw a Huawei Band 4 Pro and a Huawei Watch GT 2 into an Apple Watch blender. It’s arguably a more fashion-forward wearable than a traditional fitness tracker or standard smartwatch, but it still packs enough smarts to fit in the “Huawei Watch” line rather than the “Huawei Band” family. Let’s take a closer look.

I’m a fan of a chunky watch personally, but the diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. Beyond the eye-catching Cantaloupe Orange you see here, the Watch Fit also comes in Sakura Pink, Graphite Black, and Mint Green. The diminutive appeal of the Huawei Watch Fit is not lost on me. I’m less enamored by the unoriginal styling. It may lack creativity but will

5 best dialer apps and contacts apps for Android

Update: This list currently has Drupe as an entrant. It is a really good contacts and dialer app. However, recent security vulnerabilities are causing a big fuss about the app . The security vulnerabilities are gone now. Thus, we’re reinstating the app to our list with a word of caution to our readers. Hit the link to learn more. Dialer apps and contacts apps are a bit of a niche market. In most cases, the stock dialer and contacts app is more than good enough most of the time. However, there are some cases where it may be necessary. The Note 8 occasionally freezing while using the contacts app is a good example. In any case, there are a bunch of decent options, but only a few really good ones. Also, we considered doing separate lists for contacts apps and dialer apps. However, generally speaking, if you get one, you get the other too. Both lists would pretty much have the same apps. Thus, we’ve consolidated it into a single list here.
