According to the latest report, 2018 seems to be a significant year for HMD Global. According to our sources, this Finnish brand is now working on their flagship Nokia 9, after the first ever Nokia handset with an 18:9 ratio, Nokia 7 Plus. Recently, we witnessed the first smartphone of the brand with a notch display: Nokia X6. In the meantime, HMD Global didn’t forget their premium flagships including Nokia Edge 2018, Nokia Vitech 2018.

However, our star of the day is Nokia Maze Max. If you remember, we already introduced you about Nokia projects on the Maze series. Previously, we have Nokia Maze 2018, with the Pro and Mini version. And today, the new member might come alongside the three siblings called Nokia Maze Max. In details, the Nokia new phone can be the next Nokia flagship to sport an 18:9 ratio screen.

For your interest, Nokia Maze Max 2018 specs sport a 6.3-inch Super AMOLED with 4K resolution. Under the hood, Nokia Maze 2018 takes power from a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset, alongside 10GB RAM and 256GB/512GB ROM (expand to 512GB). Whereas, Nokia flagship runs on Android 8.1 and 6500mAh battery. Furthermore, Nokia Maze Max 2018 camera features a dual 29MP rear snapper and a 24MP selfie shooter. Also, this Nokia monster can even come with an on-screen fingerprint scanner.

Nokia Maze Max 2018 release date and price

For now, we expect this Nokia phone to appear next quarter with its brothers. As for the Nokia Maze Max 2018 price, it might be around $699 ~ Rs. 48112. For the price tag and crazy specs, Nokia Maze Max is undoubtedly a flagship you should look forward!

• You can now lock up your OneDrive Android app using a fingerprint authentication.
• Using the OneDrive fingerprint authentication is more secure than a 4-digit PIN.
• The latest OneDrive update also brings a new grid layout for photos.

Microsoft’s OneDrive is a completely capable cloud storage solution in an oversaturated market. But the ace up Microsoft’s sleeve is that a 1TB account with OneDrive comes bundled with an Office 365 subscription. That’s a terrific deal.

But if that’s not enough to sway you to OneDrive, how about this: starting today, the OneDrive Android app now supports fingerprint authentication, something competitor apps like Dropbox don’t offer.

Since using your fingerprint is far more secure than a traditional PIN or password, any sensitive files you keep in your OneDrive account will be much safer with fingerprint authentication.

The new security option is available now in the latest version of the OneDrive Android app, which you can download by clicking here or the box at the bottom of this article.

Once you have the latest version, you can enable fingerprint authentication by navigating to Me > Settings > Passcode. If you already have a passcode set for OneDrive, all you have to do is click the check box next to “Use fingerprint to authenticate.”

If you haven’t yet set up a passcode, you’ll need to do that first before you can use your fingerprint. Choose a four-digit PIN and run through the steps. Once complete, OneDrive will ask you if you want to use your fingerprint instead. Then you’re all set!

In addition to the new fingerprint authentication option, the latest version of OneDrive also brings a new grid layout when you’re viewing photos folders. Neat!

LineageOS is finally going to start supporting the original Pixel and Pixel XL.

There’s no set schedule for the LineageOS Pixel nightlies, but the team has approved the build.

These will be the first Google-made smartphones to get LineageOS.

If you look at the long list of devices that have LineageOS ROM builds, you’ll notice something strange: there’s no support for the Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, or Pixel 2 XL.

However, it looks like that is about to change, as the LineageOS team appears to have approved rolling out nightlies for the Google Pixel (aka “sailfish”) and the Google Pixel XL (aka “marlin”). Click here to check out the review history at LineageOS.org.

Although the original Pixel line will likely have LineageOS ROMs very soon, there’s still no word on the second-generation Pixel 2 line. But if the team can make LineageOS work on the original line, it stands to reason that they’d be able to make it work on the next line.

EDITOR'S PICK

Whatever happened to CyanogenMod? What is LineageOS?

Strangely, there are plenty of custom ROMs out there based on LineageOS for the Pixel line, but there hasn’t been an official one. It was only a matter of time before a bonafide version arrived.

LineageOS rose from the ashes of CyanogenMod, and is currently the most significant custom Android ROM in the custom ROM community. Using LineageOS, users can update old handsets to the most recent version of Android, as well as breathe new life into newer handsets that are lacking features or are bogged down with bloatware and ugly Android skins.

The Microsoft HoloLens that Microsoft company will sell will be a Star Trek-style visor that wraps around your head but doesn't isolate you from the world, with the Intel SoC[System-on-a-chip] and custom Holographic Processing Unit built in. What I tried out in the labs hidden (rather cheekily) under the Microsoft company visitor centre didn't look like that, but the engineers and developers who built it say the experience I had with the developer rig is essentially the same.

The Microsoft HoloLens developer rig is built into a frame that slips onto your head and gets strapped into the right position; there's a sensor array over your eyes to track where you're looking and sensors on the frame to track how your head moves and the Holographic Processing Unit hangs around your neck on a strap (it's about the size and weight of a car radio). Someone needs to help you fit it and before you do that you have to get the distance between your pupils measured. And when you have it set, there's a power cord coming down from the ceiling rigged to move with you as you walk.

All of that will vanish into the final product, so what I tried is very obviously early hardware - like the custom developer kits Microsoft company makes for early Xbox developers. Microsoft company didn't let us photograph the developer rig, and you need a special camera to capture the Microsoft HoloLens view so our images were supplied by Microsoft company; they're a rather idealised version of the slightly grainier view I saw.

The HPU, as Microsoft company calls it, isn't that much of a misnomer (less so than suggesting that a retina screen has the same resolution as the human retina, say). What you see isn't a holograph or a hologram; it's a projection - but it's being projected onto holographically printed lenses, which lets Microsoft company produce very cheaply the extremely complex lenses that turn the projection into the 3D image you see.

The HPU turns the graphics into the right signal to project onto those lenses as well as processing information from the sensors that tell it where you're looking and how you're moving your head. It will speed up voice recognition and spatial sound processing, too.

That doesn't just let you see the digital world projected around you; it lets you see it on top of the real world. You can see the person standing next to you and talk to them, avoid walking into walls and chairs and even look at a computer screen, because Microsoft HoloLens detects the edge and doesn't project over it so you don't need to keep taking it on and off as you work. You can take notes or answer email on a computer with a keyboard or a pen instead of trying to force that kind of close up work into the world of gestures and gaze.

If you wear glasses, this close-fitting headset isn't ideal. It's hard to make it fit comfortably - I found it either pushed my glasses down onto my nose or pressed them hard into my face, and I much preferred using it without my glasses on. As I'm short sighted, that made it harder to see detail. Talking to people outside Microsoft company who've tried the actual Microsoft HoloLens headset, it's light and comfortable to wear but the first version will probably still press on your glasses more than you'd like. And if you wear varifocals, you move your eyes automatically to look through the right part of your glasses for what you're focusing on; that can mean you look down at things that aren't in view for Microsoft HoloLens (or for someone on a Skype call to your Microsoft HoloLens) or look up and lose the Microsoft HoloLens image.

The good news is that even if you're very sensitive to motion and prone to get VR sickness, or if you get headaches wearing 3D glasses, Microsoft HoloLens is comfortable to use. I'm very prone to both of those and have problems with many other systems; after a brief moment the first two times I put it on when I could tell I was adjusting to what I was seeing, I had no problems at all with nausea, headaches or the other discomfort that can come when you trick your brain into thinking it's seeing something real.

The Microsoft HoloLens projected screen moves as you move your head and you control apps either with voice commands or by using the equivalent of a mouse click - the air tap. You just hold your fist out in front of you where you can see it then raise and lower your finger. I didn't have to worry about getting it in the right place or moving it at the right speed; as long as I made sure my other fingers and thumb were out of the way, Microsoft HoloLens got the gesture every time.

Digital reality

I tried three different applications with the Microsoft HoloLens. I also got to watch several people using the Holo Studio 3D building tool, which has the most sophisticated controls, using a combination of gaze, gesture and voice commands to let you design objects you can see in the real world, so you know they're the size you want before you spend time and money 3D-printing them.

The most engaging was playing HoloBuilder; inspired by Minecraft and built with the help of the Minecraft team, this is a game that lets you build a digital landscape that exists in your physical space. Think the giant LEGO setup in the basement of Will Ferrell's house in The LEGO Movie, only invisible until you put Microsoft HoloLens on, and built both on top of and underneath your furniture - and even extending under the floor and into the walls.

Using voice commands and the air tap gesture and my own real feet, I walked around a village, tickled a sheep to stop it falling off the table, dug through a (real) bench to make a hole, blew up some TNT to drop zombies into the lava pool that was in the chamber I'd dug through to, then blew a hole in the wall and lit a lamp to see the bats flying through the caverns in the wall.

Like Minecraft, half the fun is that your creations are obviously digital, but seeing them perched on real tables and benches was even more fun. This combination of virtual and physical worlds was delightful and immersive and shows the obvious gaming and entertainment potential here.

But the other two apps I tried were actually more impressive and certainly more useful. Making a Skype call from Microsoft HoloLens is a good way to try out voice and gesture commands; you can look at the person you want to call in the address book - which is a grid of faces - then air tap to call them. The video call doesn't jump around the room if you move; it sits in one place unless you look too far away and then it moves back into view, or you can pin it in place.

The person you're calling doesn't need a Microsoft HoloLens; they see in Skype what you're looking at and they can draw diagrams on the video that appear in your view. So if you're helping someone change a tyre or fix their dishwasher or fit a new light switch, you don't have to explain what they need to look for or pull out or unscrew - you can take a pen and show them.

This would fantastic for teaching and training, for remote support or for getting an expert opinion; imagine a remote handyman who could give customers advice (and charge them for it) or a repair service that always turns up with the right part because you've shown them what they're fixing in advance. It would also be a really interesting way to have a meeting where you're collaborating remotely on physical objects, not just the usual documents and presentations.

Remote working is something NASA has to do, but the OnSight system the Jet Propulsion Lab is building with Microsoft company made me feel like I was walking on Mars. Some years ago I visited the Supervisualisation Lab at the university of San Diego, where they have a wall of screens that can show a life-size image of Mars using the photos sent back by the Mars Rover and I could look out at Mars like looking out of a window. Microsoft HoloLens meant I could step out onto the surface of Mars and walk around, bending over to look at rocks, turning round to see the view and looking up to see the sky. This is where I most wanted to have peripheral vision because with Microsoft HoloLens you only see what you're looking at; as you turn your head, the Rover suddenly comes into view and it's a rather large surprise.

OnSight isn't for digital tourism, delightful as that is; there are tools to tell the Rover where to go next to take photographs and samples - and the terrain that looks flat and easy to drive over on a PC screen is revealed as a treacherous series of slopes and ditches the Rover can easily fall down when you see it in 3D, so JPL scientists can look for an easy route before they air tap to give the Rover a target to photograph or burn with its laser.

They can also collaborate; other people in the landscape show up as stylised avatars, and a handy dotted line shows you where they're looking (Microsoft HoloLens knows that, so it can show you), which avoids all the creepy 'uncanny valley' problems of realistic avatars. This is something we're going to have to work out SoC[System-on-a-chip][System-on-a-chip]ial conventions for; when you say goodbye to someone miles away on the telephone it's easy to hang up, but when you can still see their avatar just turning away and ignoring them feels slightly rude. (Equally, watching someone use Microsoft HoloLens is disturbing because they're turning and crouching and reaching out for things you can't see, and it's hard not to think they look strange.)

Walking around Mars with another scientist, or walking around an unfinished building and seeing where the walls will be, or being able to pull a virtual engine out of a physical car to see how it fits together so you can work out which screws to undo - there's a huge range of possibilities here, because this is far more than just a gaming system. And Microsoft company is sensitive enough to privacy issues to have avoided the creepy feeling of using augmented reality to spy on the public world that Google Glass is so prone to. Microsoft HoloLens doesn't just tag the physical world with information you can get other ways; it adds a realistic 3D digital world on top of (and underneath) it in a way that feels like magic and is delightful to use.

Early verdict

It's far too early to tell whether the Microsoft HoloLens will be a success; only a select few have used the final design - instead of the early developer rig we tried out - so I can't comment first hand on how comfortable it is (with or without glasses).

I saw only four apps, one of which is more of a proof of concept (sorry Minecraft fans, HoloBuilder may not even ship). Price and battery life are both things I can only guess at. It's entirely possible that Microsoft HoloLens may be more of a curiosity than a mainstream success. But if it takes off, and later models get smaller and lighter and less obtrusive, then Microsoft company has just changed the world of computing again the way it did with Windows. Microsoft HoloLens quickly feels natural and it's easy to see how useful it will be - and how much fun too.

Xiaomi Band 3 Launch Date India: So do you want to know about Xiaomi Mi Band 3 India Launch Date? then you are at the right place! Today we are here with all the important details regarding Mi Band 3 Release Date here in India. In this quick and short article, you will learn everything related to the latest Xiaomi Mi Band 3.

Xiaomi is one of the most popular brands in the tech industry. It is known for its budget-oriented electronics and gadgets. Their products include things like smartphones, watches, fitness bands, drones, home appliances and much more! Most of their products and services are highly successful because of their competitive pricing and quality products. Because of this no matter which Xiaomi device you buy, most of them are quite good.

One of the most popular products from Xiaomi is their Mi Band lineup. Xiaomi’s Mi Band 2 was a huge success around the globe due to its price and features. On their 8th anniversary, Xiaomi has finally announced Mi Band 3 along with Mi 8. While Mi 8 is also a great device, we will not go into detail regarding that device. Rather in this post, we will be taking a look at Xiaomi Mi Band 3. You’ll get to know some of the features, pricing and most importantly the Mi Band 3 India Launch Date.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3 Features

Xiaomi had its 8th Anniversary on 31st May 2018. Just like every year they also held a media event on their anniversary. In the media event, Xiaomi has launched products including Mi 8, Mi 8 SE, Mi VR, Mi Note 5, MIUI 10 and most importantly the Xiaomi Mi Band 3. The successor to the Mi band 2 has a lot of improvements when compared to its older counterpart.

Xiaomi Band 3 Launch Date India

Starting off, this time we get to see two different variants of the Mi Band 3. One of them is equipped with NFC while the other one is not. This addition of NFC means that you will be able to do payments at selected places using your Mi Band 3. For the pricing, the Mi Band 3 will cost you 26$ or 31$ for the non-NFC and NFC variants respectively.

Just like the older Mi Band 2 you get a battery life of up to 20 days. Not only that but you can even change the strap of your Mi Band 3 for different design ones. This means that you can get multiple straps for your Mi Band 3 in different colors and designs. Another improvement in the all-new Mi Band 3 is that you can now finally answer your phone calls directly from your Xiaomi Band 3. This was a feature which was highly requested by Xiaomi Mi Band 2 users in the past.

One of the best things about the Mi Band 3 has to be its display and its design. The Mi Band comes with a 0.78″ OLED display with a resolution of 128×80. These specs are quite good for a display on a fitness band. Because of all the new features, the band also has a battery of 110 mAh.

Xiaomi Mi Band 3 India Pricing

While Xiaomi has not officially announced the pricing for their Mi Band 3 in India, we are here to help. Xiaomi has announced that their Mi Band 3 will have two variants and different pricing for them. These two variants are priced at approximately $26 and $31. The price of your Mi Band 3 variant depends on whether it has NFC or not.

Since the pricing of the non-NFC Mi Band 3 is quite similar to the old Mi Band 2 we can expect similar prices here in India. Therefore you can expect to get the Mi Band 3 anywhere between 1800 and 2100 INR. And for all the features that the Mi Band 3 provides you, this is a highly competitive pricing. Just like the Mi Band 1 and the Mi Band 2, Mi Band 3 is also a budget-oriented product. This means that almost everyone can easily afford it.

The all-new Xiaomi Mi Band 3 has a lot of improvements when compared to Mi Band 2. These include a better display, more features, larger battery and much better waterproof performance. The battery of the Mi Band 3 has been bumped up to 110 mAh. This has been done as the Mi Band 3 has a lot of new features which use more battery. Due to the larger battery Mi Band 3 still provides a batter life of 20 days. Because of these improvements, the Mi Band 3 is a highly recommended product. And the pricing for this fitness band is highly justified at under 30$.
