Nokia to release two Android Nougat smartphones with Snapdragon 820 processor and more

Ever since the first press renders of Nokia P1 Android smartphones were leaked, the tech world is eagerly awaiting more news about them. And we have some good news. Nokia is making not one but two smartphones which will run Google’s latest Android Nougat operating system.

According to the latest reports, two Nokia Android smartphones will be made by Finland’s HMD Global. The reports suggest that the smartphones might be available to buyers before the end of this year.

The reports also suggest that Nokia will bring out two versions, one with 5.2-inch display and the other with 5.5-inch display. Both the Nokia Android smartphones will sport 2K resolution (QHD) displays and will come with IP68 certification, which effectively means they will be highly resistant to water and dust on the similar lines to phones like the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Galaxy S7.

Another report by Gizmo China suggests that both the Nokia Android smartphones will be powered by Snapdragon 820 chipset and will come with Z-Launcher System UI based on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat.

What will impress most buyers awaiting the Nokia Android smartphones is that the upcoming smartphones will have an all metal body and feature an OLED screen. Both the smartphones will also have fingerprint scanners. The report says that “the sensors on these two smartphones may be most sensitive ever and will be based upon Nokia’s extensive research on wonder material graphene.”

Nokia Power User websites says that both the Nokia Android smartphones will be available towards the end of 2016 but adds that their launch date will be dependent on testing and development of the phones and might move to first quarter of 2017.

Readers may remember that in May this year, Nokia said that it has granted the newly-established HMD Global, the exclusive global license to create and sell Nokia-branded mobile phones and tablets for the next 10 years.

Nokia was the erstwhile king of smartphone and mobile business and looking at the features, the upcoming smartphones sure look to regain that top spot for Nokia again.

2. Sign up with a new Google or Pokemon Trainer Club account.
3. Professor Willow will offer you a choice of three Pokémon- Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur. Ignore all three and walk away.
4. When you are sufficiently far from them, the same three Pokémon will spawn again near you. Ignore them again and walk away.
5. Repeat this step at least twice more and you’ll notice that Pikachu has appeared alongside the aforementioned three Pokémon.
6. Tap on Pikachu, throw the Pokeball and catch it.

‘Ghost town’ listed up for sale on Craigslist for $350,000

You can buy a Colorado ‘ghost town’ on Craigslist for $350,000

Cabin Creek, a “ghost town” in Colorado, equipped with old service station, cafe and abandoned motel has been listed up for sale at $350,000. The town Cabin Creek is located just outside of Byers, Colorado in rural Adams County.

Recently, the owner, James Johnson placed an ad “for sale” on Craigslist to sell his town.

The advertisement for Cabin Creek says the nearly 5-acre property is about 45 minutes from Denver. It comes with an old gas station, an 8-room motel, a roadside restaurant cafe, an eight-space RV park, two houses and a private shooting range.

The 3,300 square feet gas station still has pumps outside and the building was once a gas station repair shop and a movie theatre.

A smokehouse with a fire pit sits behind the Café,which features a small seating area, bathroom, cook kitchen, manager’s office, underground cold storage room and three bedrooms in the basement.

“We’ve had so many people look it’s been amazing,” said Johnson, who owns the tiny road-side village along Highway 36.

“There’s something cool about tiny towns,” Johnson told KDVR. “Anytime I would stop on Route 66, I’d see places like this and I just love them.”

Johnson first drove by Cabin Creek decades ago, and he had to have it. People thought he was crazy. But in its prime, it was quite the gathering spot.

“It was full of chickens when I first got the place, so I was telling everybody I had a whole motel full of chicks,” Johnson joked.

Joan Lippet who lives in Byers and used to frequent Cabin Creek remembers it in its heyday. “A lot of people just went out there for the meals because they were so good. The couple who owned the town, and ran the cafe, served the best chicken fried steak in the state,” said Lippett.

However, sometime back in the 70s, something bad happened at Cabin Creek.

“There was a murder there. There was some people that they took in, felt sorry for or something, and they found out the couple had money,” Lippett said.

That’s when Cabin Creek’s fate as a ghost town was closed.

“Then everything just, literally, there was nobody here, so these buildings sat totally vacant. Nothing going on out here for a number of years,” Johnson said.

He once had big plans for the town. He wanted to turn it in to a Route 66-style tourist attraction and opportunities. However, his wife now wants to retire somewhere else.

“We`re looking at Idaho or Montana I think. We`re ready to get out of town even farther than this,” Johnson said.

He is hoping to find someone with similar aspirations.

“We would like to sell,” Johnson wrote on Craigslist. “We have some traveling we would like to do and this project keeps us here.”
