The Familiar Giant: Nokia

-
While many may have rubbished off Nokia smartphones after their relaunch under HMD Global in 2016, the smartphone maker has certainly lived up to expectations. Nokia's re-acquisition after it was sold out to Microsoft in 2014 now promises good tidings to Nokia lovers who at first felt disdained by the entry of Windows OS into their handsets. Now Nokia boasts of a revamped range of mid-range to high end phones that are competing among industrial leaders such as Apple's iPhone and Samsung gadgets. For example, Nokia 9 PureView - that has 5 cameras equipped with ZEISS optics - and Nokia 8 Sirocco have already made positive impressions in a market that is rather crowded.

Nokia 9 PureView is already a strong competitor to iPhone XR, posing better RAM and battery life, albeit by a small margin. This Nokia phone is also lighter,  and notably has an in-display fingerprint sensor as opposed to iPhone XR.

One of the major strengths of Nokia is its dedication to Android updates. Phones that were purchased with Android nougat and Oreo for example, received immediate android Pie updates as soon as they became available. What's more, the manufacturer promises Android 10 updates that will first be rolled out to Nokia 9 PureView in the coming days. Other Nokia phones will as well get these updates by the end of the Q2, 2020.

Moving forward, Nokia's re-entry into the scene promises more competition to other brands that have arguably had enough time to develop over the years that Nokia had 'collapsed. The brand's recognition will certainly help solidify its support base in a bid to take the company back to the nostalgic years when Nokia was the most popular mobile phone brand in the market.

Enough with Numbers and Versions!

It is now emerging that Apple will release iPhone 12 in the coming months, much to the delight of those able to afford and of course, to the envy of those who can't or have never owned an iPhone in their lives (me included). But that's not the point. The point is, this next release will be iPhone 12. That is about 12 years since the release of the first iPhone, iPhone 1 (iPhone 2G). That is roughly an iPhone every year. Very impressive. By 2050, assuming we go by the 'an iPhone a year' trend, we should see iPhone 42. Right?  iPhone is just one example. Other phone makers are hot on this trail. Since an emphatic re-entry into the android market, Nokia has released a whole range of flagship devices, from Nokia 1 to Nokia 9 pureview. In between, there are insane devices and versions. Number 6, for example, is taken by Nokia 6, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 6.1 plus, and Nokia 6.2. Isn't this overwhelming? This is the trend for just about any Nokia released recently.  Now consider

Mobile Viruses - The Stronger Foes

-
Hi there!  You have probably heard of a plethora of antiviruses sufficient enough to keep the Corona virus at bay. One such antivirus is the Astrazeneca vaccine that is widely available, and for free. Why not get a jab at the nearest designated health facility? You may not believe it, but we need you around. For taxes.  See, when I was young, I wanted to become a doctor. So far, not so good. Here's the flipside though, I still get to talk about viruses, albeit computer viruses. A virus is a type of malicious software (malware) that upon execution, acts to harm your computer by damaging programs, compromising their functionality, and more broadly, doing anything it is designed to do by its creator. A virus may for example, delete your files, replicate and spread itself to slow down system activities and services, and disrupt the overall performance of your computer. No wonder you hear comments over the association between a slowing machine and the presence of computer viruses. There
