A developer has released a Symbian/N-Gage emulator on the Google Play Store.
This allows you to play N-Gage games on your Android smartphone.
The Nokia N-Gage was arguably the first proper gaming phone around, offering a D-pad, face buttons, and cartridge-based games back in 2003. It’s widely considered to be a commercial failure, but it still had a few interesting titles though.
Now, a Symbian emulator dubbed EKA2L1 has surfaced on the Google Play Store, and it indeed allows you to run N-Gage titles on your current Android phone. According to developer Play Software, the emulator supports Nokia’s ill-fated taco phone as well as Symbian S60v1, S60v3, and S60v5.
Poll: How long is your screen timeout set for?

Every smartphone on the market has a screen timeout setting, allowing users to adjust how long it takes for a screen to automatically turn off. And there are arguments for both short and long timeout settings.
Some people might favor a super-short timeout (e.g. 30 seconds), as it contributes to better battery life in theory and reduces the risk of screen burn-in on OLED phones. Other smartphone owners might lean towards a longer timeout period (one minute or more) so they don’t have to unlock the device again for a while. Google’s phones even let you set a 30 minute timeout period.
ZTE Axon 30 Ultra announced: A sub-$1,000 flagship with three 64MP cameras
ZTE has announced the Axon 30 series.
The series is headlined by the Axon 30 Ultra, featuring three 64MP rear cameras.
We’ve seen a major trend in 2020 and 2021 for smartphones to offer ultra high resolution cameras on both the main and ultra-wide rear cameras. But it looks like ZTE is hoping to go one better by offering a phone with three super-high resolution rear cameras.
The Chinese company has just announced the Axon 30 Ultra, and its selling point is the quad rear camera setup. We’ve got a 64MP main camera (IMX686, f/1.6, OIS), a 64MP ultra-wide snapper (120 degree field of view), a 64MP “superhuman” camera (35mm focal length, f/1.9), and an 8MP 5X periscope shooter (OIS, 10X hybrid zoom). It’s unclear what exactly ZTE is doing with the so-called “superhuman” camera, as you’d expect a 2X or 3X telephoto lens with a setup like this, but we’ll update the article as soon as we find out
