Nokia X6 India launch confirmed as support page goes live on company's local website

The Nokia X6 - company's first notch-totting smartphone - has managed to generate a lot of user-interest, not only in China (the only region where the device is currently available) but in other markets around the world as well.

This resulted in HMD effectively confirming that the device will get a global launch. However, since then, the company has been mum on the topic. But silent developments have been taking place. For example, a couple of global models recently received Bluetooth certification, and the device was also briefly spotted listed on Nokia's international website.

Now, a new development has come to light. A support page for the device has gone live on the Nokia India website.

Not only this, the user guide for the device hosted on the website clearly says the device follows rules set by DoT in India. Here's what exactly the guide says:

Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the India Department of Telecommunications. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue.

So it's reasonable to say India is getting the Nokia X6. Details on pricing and launch aren't yet available, but the wait shouldn't be long now.

WhatsApp to Soon Get Fingerprint Authentication on Android: Report

HIGHLIGHTS Fingerprint authentication will be required for users to open WhatsApp The new WhatsApp feature is current under development It will protect the entire WhatsApp app and not specific conversations WhatsApp is reportedly working on a fingerprint authentication feature to protect its users' chats from being seen by others. The authentication, once enabled, will be required for users to open the app. The Facebook-owned instant messaging service was recently reported to bring a similar feature to iPhone as well, supporting two biometric authentication methods - both Face ID and Touch ID. It appears this won't be limited to iPhone, and users on Android will get fingerprint authentication, but no facial recognition based authentication, thanks to the lack of a widely used standard on the platform. According to WABetaInfo, a fan site that tests new WhatsApp features early, the feature is current under development, and disabled by default in the...

Searches for “Download TikTok” Went Crazy After TikTok Ban

A couple of days back, India banned TikTok on the grounds that the app was spreading child pornography, and was harming the country’s culture. What the government probably didn’t see coming was that TikTok would get even more attention after the ban. But that’s exactly what’s happening. According to Google Trends, searches for ‘download TikTok’ have spiked since the ban came into effect. Check out the graph below. April 16 is when news first started coming out about the Madras High Court asking for a ban on the app, and on 17th April, we got news that both Google and Apple had removed the app from their respective marketplaces in India. The spike in the search term ‘download TikTok’ coincides exactly with those dates, which means a lot more people are now interested in downloading TikTok than before.
