Image
The Nokia 8110 4G is another brand new version of an iconic device of the good ol' phone maker. Although it's a feature phone with pretty humble specs, the brand-new Nokia 8110 has some smarts - powered by YunOS, a forked version of Android, it can run a few essential apps like Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, the Google Assistant, and even Snake. The Nokia 8110 is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm 205 chipset running at 1.1 GHz, has 512MB of RAM and 4GB of built-in storage. Up front, a 2.4-inch QVGA display with a resolution of 320×240 pixels makes the rounds, solidifying the 8110 4G's feature phone status. There's no front camera, but a 2MP snapper makes the rounds at the back. from PhoneArena - Phones http://ift.tt/2F801yo via Latest Devices

Satellite images show 'new Iranian base' outside Damascus to house missiles capable of hitting Israel

Image
Satellite images reportedly show Iran has established a base outside of Damascus to house missiles capable of hitting Israel, crossing a “red line” for the Israeli government as it struggles to stop Iranian entrenchment in Syria. Images from the Israeli satellite firm ImageSat International appear to show a pair of newly built missile hangars on the base, which strongly resemble hangars at another Iranian compound that Israel bombed last year. The new base, located around eight miles north-west of Damascus, is being run by the Quds Force, the expeditionary arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, which has spearheaded Iran’s involvement in Syria, according to Fox News.
