Remember when I suggested that Nokia kept the original game on the 3310, well they kinda did although the SNAKE game on the new Nokia 3310 is a lot different from the original one.

Google Assistant Coming To Marshmallow And Nougat Devices

Google has announced that it’s bringing the Google Assistant to more Android phones starting this week. All phones running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and 7.0 Nougat will be getting an OTA update via the Google Play Services in coming weeks.

Here’s how Google describes the planned rollout:

The Google Assistant will begin rolling out this week to English users in the U.S., followed by English in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom, as well as German speakers in Germany. We’ll continue to add more languages over the coming year.

Before now, the Google Assistant was only available on Google’s own phone, the Google Pixel, and has been rumored to be on the upcoming LG G6. But LG’s claim as the first non-Pixel phone with the assistant won't last long as other devices are sure to follow.

 The Google Assistant is an improvement to the previous voice search feature on Android, the assistant is able to do more things and control your smart home devices. Google calls it a “conversational” interface, but that conversation isn’t so much more than the old way.

 However, there's going to be one big improvement, you’ll be able to call-up the assistant by long-pressing the home button instead of using the microphone button on the home screen or using the command prompt “OK Google.” This action would replace the “Now on Tap” feature that used to come up when you long press the home button.

I don't know if all Android devices running Marshmallow and Nougat will get the update, Google specifies it’s coming to “eligible devices.” On the other hand it also says, “With this update, hundreds of millions of Android users will now be able to try out the Google Assistant,” so if you have an Android phone with a recent android version, there’s a big chance you’ll get the update.

Here's The Expected Design For The New Nokia 3310 Device

Oh.... Sweet Nokia 3310, the iPhone 7 of its time. I wasn't privileged to own one, I can proudly say I saw it, even used it and that's more than kids these days can say.
Anyway, according to Vtech (via GizmoChina), the new Nokia 3310 is expected to be a feature phone, don't expect any iPhone like or Galaxy-like specs or design. (P.S. The images below are just concepts and nothing more).

For its design, you will be getting a thinner and lighter device(so you don't have to go through a gym session just to lift your device) with the buttons rearranged a bit as well.
Instead of the original display—a monochrome 84 x 84 display— there will be a new color display, that is still good enough to keep the battery life high.



There's currently no words on the key specs of the device for now, but I seriously hope that HMD Global keeps some original features that made us fall in love with the 3310, like that GAME!.

Whatsapp Introduces Whatsapp Status Snapchat-Like Feature

From all indications, Mark Zuckerberg is going all in with WhatsApp and doing everything humanly possible to keep whatsapp as the largest Instant messenger app in the world.
Just like Instagram codedly stole the ‘stories’ feature from snapchat, he just added the feature to his IM app, whatsapp. The new feature lets you express yourself using a short video.

The new status feature will allow you to share photos, videos, and GIFs as your status(i.e. stories) which will auto-destruct in 24 hours. The feature was tested in November last year, and was pushed to beta testers last week.

You will also have the ability to control who sees your statuses. Starting with the Netherlands and France, the feature will gradually roll out for both iOS and Android to other markets.

I must say this is a really interesting addition to WhatsApp to help make your statuses much interesting.
