HMD Global has a lot to share with the world this month, as the Finnish company announced last month it will hold a launch event on October 4 in a couple of European cities. At the moment, we don't know whether HMD will announce the global availability of the Nokia 5.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 Plus, or it will unveil a new device.However, that's not the only important event aimed at Nokia fans, as HMD has just confirmed yet another event, which will take place in India on October 11. The invitation says that HMD Global has an “important announcement” to make and to “let the festive season begin,” but that doesn't suggest that we'll be seeing a new device.Judging by what the invitation says, it's more likely that a new device will be announced on October 4 rather than next week. Now that rumors claim the Nokia 9 has been delayed for early next year, the only new phone that HMD might announce is the Nokia 7.1 Plus, a mid-range smartphone packing a Snapdragon 710 … [Read more...] about New Nokia announcement event set for October 11

Don’t expect much from Microsoft’s Surface Pro 6 announcement event
Microsoft is set to officially kick off an avalanche of exciting October product announcement events next Tuesday, but it might be wise to tone down your expectations. Because it’s obviously way too early for a Surface Go sequel, while the mythical Surface Phone has been reportedly overhauled (again) and delayed (again), all the Redmond-based tech giant is gearing up to unveil on October 2 is a Surface Pro 6 and a Surface Laptop 2. The Surface Pro 6, by the way, was prematurely and thoroughly revealed in a bunch of unboxing pictures yesterday , looking pretty much identical to its forerunner. Those large screen bezels are no longer acceptable for a device expected to cost $800 and up (no keyboard or Surface Pen included), while the USB-C port omission is likely to cause growing frustration among fans of the Windows 10 tablet/laptop experience. … [Read more...] about Don’t expect much from Microsoft’s Surface Pro 6 announcement event

How to watch Apple’s WWDC 2018 and iOS 12 announcement event live stream
Apple is gearing up to unveil iOS 12 today, and, instead of waiting with bated breath for your iPhone to ring up with a notification, you'd be wise to watch the WWDC 2018 keynote live, as the update won't be rolling out before a public beta is announced at the end of the month, as usual.While Apple isn't expected to introduce some grand new overhaul (who knows, it may surprise us still), the most important changes will be taking place under the hood, with stability and performance improvements that are long overdue. Apple's aggressive iPhone and iPad portfolio in the last couple of years meant that iOS was increasingly hard to manage on so many new devices. Also, the new features roster that had to be included to keep up with the Kardashians was starting to get daunting, so iOS 11 was a somewhat buggy release, which should be now remedied with iOS 12.On the other hand, the next version of iOS may have to be crafted entirely with the notch in mind, as all new iPhones this year, but an … [Read more...] about How to watch Apple’s WWDC 2018 and iOS 12 announcement event live stream
