| A new Nokia phone surfaces on TENAA's website Posted: 05 Dec 2020 08:00 AM PST  After the FCC's listing of two upcoming Nokia smartphones from yesterday, we now have a TENAA listing with an unnamed Nokia device. The model number is TA-1335, which is suspiciously close to the TA-1333 model number of the FCC handset. However, early findings suggest that the two phones have little in common. While the TA-1333 has some similarities with the Nokia 3.4, the TA-1335 from TENAA is clearly closer to the Nokia C3. It's a budget device, reportedly aimed at the CNY 1,000-2,000 market segment. But closer to the lower end of the bracket. The filing reveals a handset with a... |

| DxOMark re-tests the iPhone 11, gets a much higher score Posted: 05 Dec 2020 04:00 AM PST  DxOMark recently changed its testing protocol and is now doing the fourth version of the said protocol. This means that some of the devices deemed relevant will go through the new round of testing because the overall score changes too. Not to mention the software improvements manufacturers introduce over time can have a big effect. Anyway, the iPhone 11 was recently re-tested and the overall score shot up quite significantly from 109 to 119 points overtaking some of the 2020 flagships like the Samsung Samsung Galaxy S20+ and the OnePlus 8 Pro in DxOMark's ranking.

| Google Fi will no longer support phones if they don’t have VoLTE beginning January Posted: 04 Dec 2020 04:27 PM PST  This week, Google Fi began to notify its customers that it will no longer activate any smartphones that don't offer support for VoLTE. The change signals T-Mobile readiness to phase out 3G and repurpose the spectrum as part of its 5G rollout plan and since Google Fi is an MVNO, it needs to do the same. As first reported back in July, T-Mobile will cease to activate devices that can't make calls with VoLTE (Voice over LTE). Some smartphones released a few years ago may not offer native support for VoLTE unless they were carrier-branded devices. These devices switched to 3G when... |
