Lumia phone users are yet to receive GDR3 update with Lumia Black customizations but the rumour mill is already speculations about the next year’s WP 8.1 Blue release.
The Windows Phone 8.1 Blue has been in the rumours for a while and all reports so far suggest it will finally bring notification centre, better multitasking and a Siri-like Cortana voice assistant. The WP 8.1 is expected to be announced at the upcoming MWC in Barcelona early next year. The famous @evleaks tipster struck again today with another juicy rumour – the upcoming WP 8.1 Blue will debut on two Lumia devices codenamed Goldfinger and Moneypenny.
There are no specifications of either of those provided just yet, but it is believed the Goldfinger will be the flagship model with the Nokia’s long-developed “3D Touch” technology. The 3D Touch is something similar to Galaxy S4’s Air Gestures, but it will be much more advanced. Different dedicated hardware sensor will track and recognize your hand movements for advanced gesture controls.
Facebook One-Click Login Coming to Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 apps
Android and iOS users have long been using their Facebook account for single click logging into apps, and soon Windows 8 and Windows Phone users will be able to do the same. While the features are still in its early stages (on WP8, it’s still in beta) Microsoft has announced that Foursquare, Adobe (Revel, Photoshop Express) and iHeartRadio are the first to get in on the action.
Similar to Facebook Login on other platforms, using it will make it easier to share content from within the app, and connect your account info without punching in the credentials yet again. Foursquare will post your check-ins, the Adobe apps will let you upload photos easily, and you can share the station you’re listening to on iHeartRadio.
Facebook users will probably want to keep an eye on their privacy settings to avoid oversharing, while holdouts from the social network can remain assured that Microsoft’s own account system is still positioned as the primary way to log in on the platform.
Nokia Black Update to Add Bluetooth LE Across the Entire WP8 Lumia Range
Bluetooth low energy compatibility arrived on select Nokia Lumia models (520, 620, 625 and 720) through the Amber update, but now it’s making its way to the rest of the line. A new FAQ entry on Espoo’s website has confirmed that the feature will come to all devices in the range (even the more high-end ones) via the upcoming Lumia Black update.
The Bluetooth 4.0 mode uses less power than traditional Bluetooth data connections, and its arrival will allow all Lumias to connect with accessories and other gadgets that use the technology exclusively. Nokia has yet to reveal when Black will be released, but we’ll update you faster than a Bluetooth transfer as soon as we find out.
