Nokia have finally announced their flagship device the Nokia 8. THe device is set to go on sale in September and with a cost price said to be at the €599 mark. The all new flagship comes in array of colours, following the design language of its previous devices the 3,5 and 6 which makes sense. The Nokia 8 comes at a time where the market is now very competitive so it has much to stand up against and with the iPhone 8 and Galaxy Note 8 due soon its got a lot of competition but it does have a few tricks up its sleeve and the price point is also something to consider which is not going to be near what the future flagships from its competitors are going to offer which will see prices in at the €999 mark which is a large sum of money to ask for.
The USPs of the new device are as mentioned in the headline Bothie Mode means you can simulataniously shoot with both cameras on the device which sounds great although we have seen it before we can now livestream to YouTube and Facebook with this feature and it will come in handy for many people and that includes myself…
ZIESS Optics are back once again which is again another welcome move as fans of old know how good their cameras have been on Lumia devices over the years so you are guarenteed a great shot.
Nokia 8 features a 13 MP dual image-fusion rear camera with both colour and monochrome sensors, plus a wide-angle 13 MP phase detection auto-focus front camera. Both front and rear cameras are equipped with ZEISS optics, meaning every snapshot moment becomes a story worth sharing.
OZO AUDIO
This is what is used in their virtual reality headset but now it has become a feature on the Nokia 8 this means with the 4K recording it can capture 360 degree audio and you can broadcast live and you can listen to this too on Facebook in 360..

Fujifilm’s sophisticated new INSTAX SQUARE SQ10 has scooped a major international consumer electronics award within just six months of its European launch.Delivering the best of both worlds for photographers, the SQ10 hybrid combines the control and composition of a digital camera, with the enjoyment and spontaneity of real instant prints.
The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) selected Fujifilm’s first ever square format hybrid instant camera for one of its top awards, to be presented in Berlin in September at IFA International, the world’s leading trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances.
The INSTAX SQUARE SQ10 is the first hybrid instant camera to take and print square photos. Available in Fujifilm stockists nationwide at an RRP of €300, the sleek new INSTAX allows photographers edit and filter a shot they’ve captured on the digital LCD screen, before saving it or instantly printing. It has options to brighten, darken, or add vignettes to images, and to choose from 10 creative filters to apply, before printing.
A dream for photography and tech lovers, the INSTAX hybrid’s bright LCD viewfinder makes it easy to create and edit pictures, which are recorded in the internal memory or on a microSD card for sharing. The SQ10 saves up to 50 photos on its internal memory, and even more on the memory card, so moments caught but not instantly printed can be stored and revisited later.
EISA members nominating the SQ10 cited it as the first hybrid camera within its range with a digital image sensor and digital image processing technology. This vastly enhances the image quality and allows photographers creatively edit their compositions on screen, before printing.
The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) is a unique and longstanding collaboration between 55 of the most respected international specialist consumer electronics magazines.
These periodicals, their websites and forums produce regular independent technical reviews on new consumer electronics products, and their annual awards are based on the best innovation across photography, mobile devices, hi-fi, home theatre audio, home theatre display and video, and in-car electronics.
Independent Endorsement
Independent endorsement at the highest level from EISA reflects the SQ10’s high-tech edge, according to Jackie Farrell, Fujifilm Ireland Marketing Manager.
“These prestigious international awards recognise quality and innovation, from everyday affordable products to the most aspirational of modern electronics goods, and the Fujifilm Corporation is obviously delighted to have the INSTAX SQ10 counted among its top consumer electronics for 2017”, the Fujifilm Irish spokesperson said.
The award citation noted the instant camera’s ability to produce brighter photos in low-light conditions, for indoor and night scenes, as well as close-up shots from a distance of up to 10cm, thanks to its sophisticated automatic exposure control, human detection and auto-focus.
“Its filters, with different effects that control light intensity and brightness, can be used in advance or after shooting, and image editing in the LCD monitor is simple and intuitive”, reviewers of the SQ10 also reported.
Trend-setting INSTAX SQ10 prints have a retro square format, echoing that of INSTAGRAM™, the photo-sharing platform.
This year’s EISA Awards saw member magazines from over 20 European countries, plus affiliates in the USA and Australia, contribute their experience, identifying new products that combine the most advanced technology and desirable features with class-leading performance.
The Nokia 3 has finally arrived which has added nicely to our 2017 Nokia device collection, We will do a quick unboxing today and go over the device which is pretty solid and after some initial testing we can safely say the camera is quite good and takes really nice shots, You can follow me on Twitter or Instagram to see them and its seems pretty snappy off the bat, We will of course load it up with apps and so on and see how it performs over the coming weeks so if you have any questions on the device feel free to ask in the interim..

Android users have a new threat to be aware of: spyware apps that steal data from the devices they infect. Some samples made their way to Google Play, but the vast majority is coming from other online sources.
Researchers from SophosLabs and elsewhere have found three cases of SonicSpy-infused apps in Google Play: Soniac, Hulk Messenger, and Troy Chat – messaging apps that hide their spying functionality and await orders from command-and-control servers.
Google booted the apps from its store after they were discovered. Researcher Chen Yu said the Google Play versions had “tiny installation numbers and existed for a very short time”. Though three were found on Google Play, SophosLabs has counted 3,240 SonicSpy apps in the wild. Some reports place the number at 4,000.
According to multiple reports, a single bad actor – probably based in Iraq – has released these apps into the wild since February.
How it operates
The various SonicSpy-infused apps share the ability to:
Silently record audio
Take photos with the device’s camera
Make outbound calls
Send text messages to whatever phone numbers the attacker chooses
Retrieve data from contacts, Wi-Fi hotspots and call logs
On the devices it infects, SonicSpy removes its launch icon to hide itself. It then connects to a control server on port 2222 of arshad93.ddns[.]net, according to Michael Flossman, a researcher from Lookout who first reported the spyware’s appearance.
Defensive measures
Sophos customers are protected from the SonicSpy apps, which are detected as Andr/HiddenAp-W, Andr/Axent-CY, Andr/FakeApp-BK and Andr/Xgen-Y.
The continued presence of malicious Android apps demonstrates the need to use an Android antivirus such as our free Sophos Mobile Security for Android.
By blocking the install of malicious and unwanted apps, even if they come from Google Play, you can spare yourself lots of trouble.
In the bigger picture, the average Android user isn’t going to know what techniques the malware used to reach their device’s doorstep, but they can do much to keep it from getting in – especially when it comes to the apps they choose. To that end, here’s some more general advice:
Stick to Google Play. It isn’t perfect, but Google does put plenty of effort into preventing malware arriving in the first place, or purging it from the Play Store if it shows up. In contrast, many alternative markets are little more than a free-for-all where app creators can upload anything they want, and frequently do.
Avoid apps with a low reputation. If no one knows anything about a new app yet, don’t install it on a work phone, because your IT department won’t thank you if something goes wrong.
Patch early, patch often. When buying a new phone model, check the vendor’s attitude to updates and the speed that patches arrive. Why not put “faster, more effective patching” on your list of desirable features, alongside or ahead of hardware advances such as “better camera” and “higher-res screen”?
