This new Android phone is for when you absolutely must take a selfie in the dark

There has never been a better time to take a selfie. We’ve got phones with good quality front cameras, those with amazing ones, and even phones with the same camera for front and rear use. But what about those times you want to snap pictures of yourself, but it’s just too dark? The new Lumigon T2 HD smartphone is what you need, as the front camera is accompanied by an LED flash.

Now, the flash isn’t equivalent to the six LED’s fixed to the back of this crazy tablet, but it’ll still be bright enough to illuminate your face, and probably those of any unsuspecting people behind you. Sadly, the camera itself isn’t a monster, and is equipped with modest 2.4-megapixels. On the back of the device is a 13-megapixel camera, with another LED flash unit.

Lumigon is a Danish company specializing in high-end, luxury electronics. Its first device was the original T1 smartphone, launched back in 2010. The new T2 HD is made from stainless steel, covered with a super durable PVD (that’s Physical Vapor Disposition) coating, often used in the watch industry. The whole device is water and dust resistant to IP65 certification levels, and the display is covered with Gorilla Glass 3.

The Lumigon T1 HD is tough, then, but what about the specification? The screen measures 4.3-inches, which is small by today’s standards, and has a 720p resolution, so at least it will be sharp. The processor is a dual-core Snapdragon with 2GB of RAM. There are three versions of the phone available, with either 32GB, 64GB, or a whopping 128GB of internal memory. Android 4.4 KitKat is installed, plus the phone has 4G LTE, NFC, and a Bang & Olufsen ICEPower amplifier powering a set of stereo speakers. Lumigon packs a set of in-ear earbuds, and a stylish dock with the phone. 

All this doesn’t come cheaply, and to secure a T2 HD, you’ll need to splash out 730 euros, or just a touch over $1000. That’s for the standard 32GB black or white model, and there’s no word on how much the limited edition 24-carat gold version will cost. The phone will go on sale between now and June, but at the moment, it’ll only be sold in Denmark.

How to play YouTube in the background on iPhone and Android
YouTube Premium on iPhone.

With so many YouTube videos just a person (or animated person) being 90% a person looking at the screen and talking, it is really tempting to turn the screen off and slide your phone into your pocket and just listen. However, if you try this you may encounter something annoying — you don't actually know how to get YouTube to play in the background on your phone.

If only you could, YouTube could quickly be the top alternative to the best podcast apps on iOS or on Android. But as is, you may very well be forced to pop your phone in your pocket with the screen still active, giving your pant's pocket free range to tap your screen incessantly.

The back of the Nothing Phone 2.

The Nothing Phone 2 is here. It's the second Android phone from Nothing, the company's first one to fully launch in the U.S., and one of the most important smartphones of the year.

There's plenty to say about the Nothing Phone 2. I could talk about the importance of a new smartphone brand entering the U.S. market. I could also talk about the Glyph lights on the back of the phone that have been hyped so much. There's also a lot to discuss about Nothing's mission to "make tech fun again."
