Latest Tech News

Last month, we reported on a rumor that Nokia's next flagship would be delayed until the latter half of 2020 in an effort to avoid obsoletion at launch. 

Now, a new rumor from the same source suggests Nokia may have finally found the killer feature that will allow its upcoming device, presumed to be the Nokia 9.2 PureView, to stand out from the pack.

• Android may soon come to a feature phone thanks to Nokia
• Nokia may launch its first foldable phone by the end of the year
• Why Nokia phones could soon be your common workplace partner

According to Twitter user @nokia_anew, Finnish mobile phone company HMD Global is currently testing under-display selfie camera technology in regards to the Nokia 9.2 PureView, which would eliminate the need for a notch or pin-hole cutout in the handset's display.

If the rumor is to be believed, it would presumably make Nokia's 9.2 PureView one of the first phones to bring the stealthy selfie functionality to market. 

That said, it's expected that Chinese manufacturer Oppo will beat Nokia to the punch by launching the world's first phone with under-display camera on June 26.

Avoiding past mistakes

Along with the need for a standout new feature, it's believed that the decision to delay Nokia's next flagship was made to ensure the device packs the latest Snapdragon 865 processor at launch.

At the time of its release in February 2019, the Nokia 9 PureView carried an outdated Snapdragon 845 chipset that resulted in the device feeling a generation behind the competition, so it wouldn't surprise us to see the company trying to avoid making the same mistake again.

Of course, all of the information above should be taken with a pinch of salt at this time – we'll likely have to wait until after MWC 2020 to hear something a little more concrete.

Latest Tech News

While we've been hearing about the Fujifilm X100V since December 2019, leaks and rumors having been trickling through the cracks in bits and bobs. Until now, that is, with reliable Japanese camera news leaker Nokishita unearthing what seems like an almost complete list of specs for the upcoming shooter.

With a leaked image of the camera already available, and the newly exposed specs, there aren't going to be any surprises left when Fujifilm makes the official announcement expected at the company's X Summit on February 4.

That said, most of the leaked specs matched what we were expecting from the camera anyway, starting with the 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor – the same one that's housed within both the Fujifilm X-Pro3 and the X-T3 – with a native ISO range of 160 to 12800 (as compared to the X100F's 200 base ISO from a 24.3MP sensor). However, extended ISO sensitivity goes from 80 to 51200.

The specs make no mention of the number of available autofocus (AF) points but, like the other new X-series shooters, a hybrid (contrast + phase) AF system is what we should expect, if there's any truth to the leak. The current X100F (which is now three years old) has 325 selectable AF points and we're hoping that's been taken up to 425 to match the newer X-series models.

Continuous shooting will, apparently, see a boost as well, with burst speeds of 11fps as compared to the fourth generation camera's 8fps.

Shiny and new

While expectations were high that there would be a new lens with a f/1.4 aperture, the specs sheet says otherwise – seems like the X100V will utilize a Fujinon 23mm f/2 lens. Whether it's a brand-new optic or the same old lens, remains to be seen.

The electronic viewfinder, though, is getting an upgrade, going from a 2.36 million dot OLED panel in the X100F to a much better 0.5-inch glass with a 3.69 million dot resolution. The rear LCD display, which early leaks revealed would be a tilting panel as opposed to the fixed one on the X100F, will come with a resolution of 1.62 million dots (an improvement over the current model's 1.04 million dot screen).

According to the leaked specs, video capabilities have definitely seen an improvement, with 4K/30p recording on board. 

There's a USB-C port mention in the specs list, so you should not only be able to transfer files quicker, but also be able to charge the camera with the same cable. Battery life has also, seemingly, been given a boost, with the X100V rated for 350 (EVF shooting) / 420 frames (using optical viewfinder) as compared to the 270 frames (EVF) / 390 frames (OVF) on the current X100F.

While Nokishita is usually spot-on with it's reveals, we'd still err on the side of caution and take this news with a pinch of salt. But whatever the final specs will be, we're rather excited that there's finally going to be a fifth iteration of one of our favourite compact camera.

Webex Meetings are about to get a whole lot smarter as Cisco has announced that it is is adding new AI-powered voice intelligence capabilities to its video conferencing solution.

The Cisco Webex Assistant for Webex Meetings is powered by technology from the firm's recent acquisition of Voicea and it aims to turn meetings into a digital treasure trove for business users.

Senior vice president and general manager of team collaboration at Cisco, Sri Srinivasan explained how the company's new AI-powered assistant will help businesses save time in a press release, saying:

• Cisco Silicon One wants to power the Internet of the future
• AI could boost GDP by millions
• Cisco reveals $100m investment in UK AI

"Voicea users have reported saving more than six hours per week per user with more actionable and efficient meetings – and we believe Webex users will experience similar results. We're excited to bring this and other cognitive features to the 300 million users we already serve with Cisco Collaboration. This technology will fundamentally change how we are able to deliver massively personalized experiences and transform the way we work."

Webex Assistant for Meetings

Cisco's Webex Assistant for Meetings is the first digital in-meeting assistant aimed at the enterprise and it will allow users to automate mundane tasks such as taking notes, transcribing and follow-up so that employees can focus on the meeting.

In addition to providing closed captioning and instant transcriptions, users will also be able to tell Webex which points to highlight. The recorded transcripts are even searchable across meetings with speaker labeling so that everyone knows who said what during a meeting. Catching up on missed meetings is also easier thanks to the Webex Assistant as users can simply skim meeting highlights.

Back in 2017, Cisco added conversational AI to Webex Rooms and with Webex Assistant for Webex Rooms, users will be able to join meetings, make calls and control room devices with just their voices. However now, the company has added Spanish language support so that users can speak in either English or Spanish to Webex Room devices and Webex Assistant will respond in their preferred language.

Cisco also announced that it is giving customers a choice as to whether their Webex Teams data, which includes users, keys messages and files, will be stored in Europe or the United States for both regulatory and security purposes.
