Sirin V3 offers top level security and privacy for $2650

In the modern world, our digital lifestyles have allowed us to basically link all aspects of our day to day functions from banking to browsing to devices we trust the most - our smartphones. Although most top tier manufacturers offer out-of the box security in the form of dedicated authenticators and system security, a small percentage of people may require the need for something better- something more secure, to address this , several smartphone companies have been set up to create new "hardedned" smartphones with software firewalls and special security systems while others build upon existing platforms - modifying the software in order to meet its requirements. The new Sirin V3, by Sirin Labs is one such example of an existing smartphone modified to meet higher levels of security. The device, built upon an existing Samsung Galaxy S21 (So you still get the same 6.2" 1080x2400 SAmoled display and either a selection of  Exynos 2100/Snapdragon 888 SOC , 8GB RAM and 128GB storage and the three cameras - 12mp wide,12mp ultrawide and 64mp telephoto). The phone runs on Android 11 just like the Standard Galaxy S21, but its similarities end there as the software has been heavily tweaked with options such as installing third party software and software brute forcing on boot disabled (including bootloading) and features encryption for calls and messages.

 The phone also has disabled third party apps from being installed and therefore apps from Google play are only allowed. This combined with the privacy mode which allows Personal mode for standard mobile operations while a Workspace offers a locked down "sandbox" for all apps to run in. The phone also comes with Samsung's Knox security suite for a period of 3 years FOC with the phone as well. The phone is said to be priced at $2650 and is available through Sirin's web store.

Nikon 850 gets leaked ......does the top feature a hybrid EVF?

Obtained by NikonRumors , these two leaked press images give us the first look into what the Nikon D850 actually looks like . TL:DR - Nikon D850 has a larger penta-prism buldge on top , and it no longer features a pop up flash . The bulge will feature connectivity options (Wifi ? Bluetooth and NFC? GPS?) rather than a hybrid EVF(as rumored by many) as locking up the mirror for on sensor detection is still in its infancy ) . Nikon will implement this technology in the future once the tech improves and costs drop down  , but by that time they will just feature a Mirrorless lineup as well. Although the new D850 shares the same DNA as its predecessor ,The first leaked images show us that the buttons are now illuminated , this is great for all those "Astrographers" who struggle with finding which is which on the 810 series as backlighting was left out . There is also a tiltable touch screen display and will certainly benefit all those who shoot like to shoot in odd an...
