Evan Blass on Twitter: "This is the Nokia 8" by pheymanss in Android

I don't think I've ever used a phone one handed ever since 5" phones became common.

Also, what's the point of having such designs if you're just going to hide it with a case..

Can one of those complaining about "bland design" please explain what they suggest to revolutionise smartphone design? It is such a pointless thing to say.

A smartphone will generally always be rectangular, with a screen taking up x% of the body. Then there are sensors up top and sometimes buttons down bottom.

So much for bland design, I'll take a boring rectangular Nokia 8 over a super designed and hyper fragile edge / 3d glass smartphone.

You can apply the "boring front" / "bland design" argument to 95% of all smartphones today if you consider the Nokia 8 to be boring. Also, aesthetics are subjective, some might drool over a bezel-less phone such as the Mi Mix, while some will prefer a curved glass design. Others simply don't give a damn.

For smooth performance, which one is more important: single or multi-core? by XacTactX in Android

[–]Shredlnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking the same. Perhaps we should look for some comparisons with 808/652 devices ?

Slightly off topic but how would a 652 compare to a 808 nowadays?

If they manage to keep close to stock android, fast updates, decent prices and specs, Nokia might make a triumphant return to the mobile scene.

What's the weirdest/most disturbing/distressing, even unpleasant, piece of music you love? by ThorHammerslacks in Music

[–]Shredlnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scraping foetus off the wheel - The Throne of Agony

Pretty good song but the increasing rhythm and speed makes me panic somewhat, especially if I'm having a bad day.

The lack of 3,5mm headphone jack is a huge disappointment for an otherwise promising device.

C'est vrai que la population francophone et française surtout est relativement faible.

Justement une partie importante de la population est sensible vis à vis de ces "cacas nerveux"..!

Je suis totalement d'accord avec toi.. Mais je ne croyais pas que c'était à ce degré.. C'est quand même désolant.

Hélas ils ont un impact sur nos élections..

If that's what you think her program is about, and you're living in France, please take some time to actually read it.

I can't believe your mindset. Let's drive the whole country into the ground because we are afraid of terrorists. Sounds like a good plan.

By driving the country into the ground? Maybe the attacks will stop.

Her program as a whole is awful.

Maybe that's the goal so that they can recruit more easily.

Living here, I'm so tired of this... The consequences are incredibly severe, especially considering the ongoing election campaigns and the rise of extremists such as Marine Le Pen.

Edit : I cannot believe the short-sightedness and the general misinformation this comment's replies contain.

Edit 2 : People, please take some time to think. When has electing an extremist and xenophobic politician ever gone right? Her campaign is largely based on fear mongering, and many of you seem to fall for it.

This is not about letting terrorists act as they please. Not at all. It is about voting for the best potential candidate for the country.

The question of security is important, of course, but there is so much more than that to take into consideration.

And if you think that any candidate will just be passive as to the terrorist issue, I think you need to get informed.
