So today I have the all-new CMF Phone 2 Pro in for review, which was launched a few weeks ago in Nepal for NPR 34,999. And if you look at the Nepali smartphone market right now, you’ll notice that there aren’t a lot of phones in the 35K segment. So, should you buy the CMF Phone 2 Pro? Or are there any better alternatives in this price range?

CMF Phone 2 Pro review:

Alright, I have been testing the CMF Phone 2 Pro for the past 10 days. And the one thing that immediately stood out to me is how this phone has a couple of interesting, meaningful upgrades over the CMF Phone 1.

Design and build

164 x 78 x 7.8 mm, 185 gm
Glass front, plastic back/frames
IP54 dust/splash resistant

So last year, Nothing introduced this sort of modular design on the Phone 1, which created quite the buzz. You can’t actually change the entire back panel on the Phone 2 Pro — but what you can do is — you can unscrew the screws and add an additional cover for different accessories. And I like this implementation better for 2 reasons:

Number 1: Nothing is able to bump the IP rating from IP52 to IP54, so we get better splash resistance this time.
And number 2: A lot of people reported frequent damage to the back panel on the Phone 1 because of all the screw, unscrew action. And the extra back panels were quite expensive, so users would be spending a lot of money for the thrill of modularity. But that won’t be the case anymore!

Anyway, you still get plastic back here like last year, but I love how Nothing has worked on the build quality this time. The CMF Phone 1 felt a bit cheap in my hands, but this one feels more premium to hold. Nothing has also trimmed the bezels a bit this time, so from the front, too, the Phone 2 Pro looks quite modern.

Display

6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel
Panda Glass protection, 120Hz refresh rate
1,300 nits (HBM) / 3,000 nits brightness (HDR) brightness

Moving on, I also like the display experience on this phone a lot. This is the same display that we get on the Nothing Phone (3a) (review) that starts at NPR 48,999. So not only can it get super bright, but the overall quality of this screen is top-notch too.

This is also a 10-bit panel vs an 8-bit panel we got on the CMF Phone 1, and it is able to play local HDR videos and even HDR videos on YouTube really nicely. There is no HDR playback support on Netflix on this phone, though!

Nothing has also improved the haptics this time. Last year, I complained about the buzzy vibration on the CMF Phone 1, but this year, typing on the Phone 2 Pro is actually a pleasant experience.

I only wish the company had provided stereo speakers for a better multimedia experience. The Phone 2 Pro carries a single speaker setup that sounds horrible at the highest volume, so I won’t recommend you set its loudness beyond 80 – 90%.

Performance

MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro (4nm)
8GB RAM, 128/256GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable)

When it comes to performance, we get the Dimensity 7300 Pro chipset here, which isn’t all that different from the regular Dimensity 7300 that we got on the Phone 1. So there really isn’t much of a performance upgrade this time.

That being said, the Phone 2 Pro still manages smooth everyday performance. Even its gaming performance is quite good for the price actually.

You can play games like PUBG and Mobile Legends here at a fairly stable 90 fps. I even tried Genshin Impact in high settings and 45 fps mode, and I was able to get an average of 40 fps. Which is not bad for a midrange phone at all.

Although I have to tell you, while the stability in games was good, the temperatures reached above 40°C in most of the games I played. And considering it’s not even peak summer yet, there are chances that things might escalate.

Software

Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.2 on top
3 years of OS and 6 years of security updates

As for software, Nothing OS is pretty interesting to use. It looks quite unique, and you also have a ton of customization options (especially with widgets). If you are someone who likes minimalism, I’m sure you will appreciate what Nothing provides. And except for Samsung and Motorola, Nothing is among the handful of smartphone brands that ships their devices with almost no bloatware apps.

There’s also the “Essential Space” feature that you can access via a dedicated “Essential Key” located below the power button. Here, you can save voice memos or text notes with your screenshots, which a lot of people find quite intuitive, but I didn’t make much use of it, to be honest.

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Essential Key — Top: Power button | Bottom: Essential Key

In terms of updates, the CMF Phone 2 Pro will get 3 years of OS and 6 years of security updates. I’ve already received two updates on this phone so far, fixing minor performance and a couple of camera issues. So, for a relatively new company like Nothing, the software support that they provide even in their budget offerings is quite commendable.

Cameras

Triple camera setup at the back
(50MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 50MP telephoto zoom)
16MP selfie camera (hole-punch cutout)

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Cameras

1 of 2

Getting to the cameras, I am extremely happy about the upgrades Nothing has brought out this time. We only got a main camera setup and a useless 2MP depth sensor on last year’s CMF Phone 1, but this year, you also get an ultrawide and a 2x telephoto lens.

Portraits

And yeah, this is the only phone with a dedicated zoom camera in this price segment in Nepal.

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Portraits

1 of 4

It can take excellent portraits at multiple zoom ranges like 2x, 3x, and 4x without losing much in the detail department.

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Portraits

1 of 4

They do have a slight warm tone with a little hint of extra contrast, but I love the subject focus, the background blur, and the skin tone it manages. The images don’t get overexposed even when you shoot in scorching Sun, so that’s great too.

Selfie images

The selfies also have a slight pinkish tone like the portraits, but again, it looks good, so no complaints.

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Selfies

1 of 4

And with the recent update, the color consistency has also been improved in the photos. There used to be a little lag while processing portraits as well, which has been fixed to some extent. So I’m pretty happy about it.

Main camera

Even the main camera has good colour reproduction 90% of the time.

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Daylight images

1 of 6

That remaining 10% is when the camera goes overboard with warm tones and overcompensates highlights.

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Daylight images

1 of 5

But other than that, the details are good, the dynamic range is well preserved — and overall — you will get nice pictures from the CMF Phone 2 Pro.

The only thing that I would call out in its camera performance is:

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Lowlight images

1 of 3

First, the Phone 2 Pro can’t handle bright lights very well at night.

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Lowlight images

1 of 3

Like… the normal nighttime photos are detailed and nice, no issues, but as soon as you are shooting bright things, it’s not able to process them.

CMF Phone 2 Pro - Ultrawide images

1 of 4

And the next thing is that its ultrawide camera’s performance is only okay. Nothing extra. Especially during the night.

What about videos?

Videography-wise, I won’t complain. At least when it comes to the main camera. The footage at 4K 30 fps is considerably stable, thanks to EIS. Even from the front and the ultrawide camera, stabilization isn’t an issue, but do note there is no option to shoot at 4K from both the lenses. Just 1080p.

Battery and charging

5,000 mAh battery (33W wired charging)
No power adapter inside the box

The CMF Phone 2 Pro has a surprisingly good battery life, even though it only has a 5,000 mAh battery. I was able to get straight 8 hours of screen on time here, or even 9 hours on some days with light usage.

Obviously, the backup on this phone is not as good as something like the iQOO Z10 with a gigantic 7,300 mAh battery that gave me like 12 hours of screen-on time. But I feel confident saying that the Phone 2 Pro will last you an entire day even on heavy usage.

But unlike its Indian unit, you don’t get a charger inside the box in the global market. Including Nepal. And with a compatible power brick, the Phone 2 Pro takes an hour and 10 minutes to go from 0 – 100%.

CMF Phone 2 Pro review: Conclusion

Okay. So, wrapping up this review, I definitely think the CMF Phone 2 Pro is an excellent smartphone at around NPR 35,000 in Nepal. Its single speaker setup sucks, and I wish Nothing had gone with a slightly more powerful processor as well, but I’d still say this is quite a balanced smartphone

It has a cool design, versatile cameras, a nice bright display, decent battery life, and a clean software experience, which is very rare in this price range. And compared to other phones in this segment, like the Galaxy A16 (review) and Redmi Note 14 5G (review), the CMF Phone 2 Pro is in a different league altogether.

Yango launches as the cheapest ride hailing app in Nepal

A new ride-sharing app is here in Nepal with the cheapest fare rate. Yes, you heard that right, we have now Yango being launched here in a trial phase. It’s a tech ecosystem that offers ride sharing, e-grocery, maps, and delivery services in over 30 countries. Here in this article, we’ll talk about the Yango App and its services in general.

Yango App Overview:

About Yango

Originating as a brand under Yandex Taxi, Yango has evolved into an independent tech ecosystem headquartered in Dubai. Operating in over 30 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, Yango offers a range of services, including ride-hailing, delivery, and digital solutions.

And to bring it here in Nepal, taximandu and Yangoi have entered into a partnership. Arjun KC, Managing Director of Taximandu, said, “The experience of international technology will now be available to Nepali passengers and drivers as well.”

A New Player with Promo Offers

Yango’s entry into Nepal introduces a fresh competitor to established services like Pathao and InDrive. Leveraging its global experience, Yango plans to collaborate with local taxi operators and drivers and provide the cheapest fare to customers. As part of the promotional offer, bike rides are available at a minimum of 40 rupees and taxi rides at NPR 180, during this soft launch. Not to worry, riders are also getting a bonus scheme. In fact, only a 3% commission rate is levied for the next three years.

For Drivers: Yango offers a low commission rate of around 3% per ride, much lower than competitors, to attract drivers, along with special launch bonuses. Drivers are paid weekly, depending on their local partner.
For Riders: Yango keeps fares competitive by taking its revenue from driver commissions. Riders benefit from upfront fare estimates, ensuring pricing transparency.

Features of Yango

Like every other ride-sharing app, Yango also works pretty much the same. Here are some features of this app:

Real-Time Tracking: Passengers can monitor their rides in real-time, enhancing transparency.
Transparent Pricing: The app provides upfront fare estimates, ensuring clarity for passengers.
Display Traffic: This app can also show the en route traffic, just like Google Maps, to plan your route and schedule accordingly.
Safety Features: Yango says it has included 20 safety features to ensure the safety of both passengers and drivers.

Can Yango App Compete?

Nepal’s ride-sharing market is rapidly growing, led by platforms like Pathao, inDrive, Tootle, and JumJum. Pathao offers ride-sharing, food delivery, and parcel services across major cities, while inDrive has become the most downloaded app in the country with its unique fare negotiation model between drivers and passengers.

And Yango is making its debut in Nepal’s ride-hailing sector with a strategy centered on offering a notably low commission rate—around 3%—to attract drivers, which could result in better ride availability and more affordable pricing for users. Setting itself apart from competitors, Yango provides upfront fare estimates, offering a straightforward and transparent alternative to InDrive’s bargaining-based model and Pathao’s fluctuating pricing.

While rivals like Pathao and InDrive have already built extensive networks and expanded into services like deliveries, Yango is focusing solely on ride-hailing, aiming to establish itself through driver-friendly incentives and a simplified pricing approach. And with the cheaper rates, Yango can penetrate quite well into a price-sensitive market like Nepal. Only if it could retain the same after its trial/promo period!

Tootle Pro is a subscription model for saving on ride commisions

Tootle is Nepal’s first ride-hailing app, launched way back in 2017. Despite doing well in the beginning days, Pathao entered the competition, followed by Indrive, bringing tough competition to this Nepali service. But Tootle is doing all it can to get back in the scene. Now, we have the Tootle Pro, a subscription-based model for its fellow riders. Here in this article, we’ll talk about all the details about Tootle Pro and its benefits for the riders.

Tootle Pro Overview:

About Tootle

Before heading in, let me give a small intro about Tootle. As aforementioned, Tootle was launched in 2017, when the ride-sharing concept was still fresh as a sprout. It marked wide public attention, as using the taxi service was not feasible for a commoner, as the charges were just too high—even for a short distance. Tootle saw this opportunity and entered right through, providing an excellent alternative to book a ride at a much cheaper cost and just reach your destination even quicker by bike.

Things were running quite cool until the arrival of Pathao in 2018, which rigorously marketed itself to garner more customers. Then, inDriver (currently inDrive) landed here, bashing its way with a superinteresting option— “Bargaining”. And Tootle had to vanish from the scene until 2023, when it emerged again. Since then, the revival game has been going on. And now we have the Tootle Pro model, which we’ll be talking about below.

Tootle Pro, a Subscription model

So, what exactly is Tootle Pro? Well, it’s a subscription-based model for its riders. By subscribing to this service, riders won’t have to pay commission, at least for 28 days. Tootle is offering an introductory subscription fee of NPR 499 for bike riders and NPR 999 for the cab drivers. Just pay that amount and drivers can retain their ride earnings, however, it excludes standard insurance and TDS deductions.

Plan	Standard Rate	Introductory Rate	Validity
Bike Riders	NPR 999	NPR 499	28 days
Cab Drivers	NPR 1,999	NPR 999	28 days

Once the subscription period concludes, riders have the option to either renew their plan or switch back to the standard commission model. Which is 15% for bike rides and 12% for the taxi ride. Tootle states that this initiative is designed to provide more predictable earnings and improved transparency.

Tootle Pro: Is it worth it?

Okay, let’s do some maths to find out if Tootle Pro is really worth it for the riders or not. For a bike rider, let’s assume that he does 3 rides a day with 150 rupees per ride on average, then his total gross income in 28 days would be NPR 12,600. Let’s do a 15% commission rate on that, it would be NPR 1,890. Which is almost 4 times the NPR 500, which is the fee for Tootle Pro.

And as this model is available for a cab as well, we just can’t spare doing some maths for the cab riders. So, suppose a taxi driver does 3 rides a day at NPR 500 maximum, his gross income for 28 days would be NPR 42,000. And charging a 12% would be NPR 5040. So, here as well, paying NPR 999 sounds a much wiser thing, doesn’t it?

Also Read:

But we should also consider that these are the introductory offers. But even when the subscription models go up to NPR 999 for bike riders and NPR 1,999 for cab drivers, it still makes sense for both.

Tootle Pro: Final Thoughts

The ride-hailing scene in Nepal is getting even more competitive. With Indrive reigning as the king with a bargaining feature, Pathao has still managed to gain the trust of customers. And another ride-sharing app, “Yango” has launched with its super aggressive, cheaper fares. So, it’s going to get hard for Tootle. But yeah, the introduction of features like Tootle Pro marks a major advancement for Nepal’s ride-hailing industry, giving drivers greater control over their earnings, enhanced transparency, and more consistent financial planning.

HMD Crest Max is also available in Nepal now

HMD Crest Max is also available in Nepal now

HMD probably makes the most repairable smartphones in the market. The company entered Nepal with HMD Crest a while back. And now both the vanilla and Crest Max variant are now available in Nepal. These two phones have very few things setting them apart from one another. Let’s delve deeper into the HMD Crest series in this article while also discussing its official price in Nepal.

HMD Crest Series Overview

Design and Display

The HMD Crest series looks pretty much the same with flat frames and slightly curved edges. Both the phones have a rectangular camera island with two large circular cutouts. They also have an IP52 dust and water resistance.

The base model has an LED flashlight at the side of these cameras, while the HMD Crest Max has a third camera and a flashlight. In terms of colors, both phones have three options. The former is available in Midnight Blue, Royal Pink, and Lush Lilac, while the latter comes in Aqua Green, Deep Purple, and Royal Pink.

On the front, the HMD Crest series packs a 6.67-inch OLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio. Furthermore, the screen stretches FHD+ in resolution with a 9 0Hz refresh rate. The USP HMD phones are their repairability, and the HMD Crest and Crest Max are no different in this regard. You can swap out the batteries, charging ports, and even display from the comfort of your home.

Performance

Both the phones from the HMD Crest series are equipped with the UNISOC T760 chipset as their primary driver. As per HMD, the UNISOC chip scores over 510,000 on the AnTuTu benchmark. However, AnTuTu’s website lists a score of just 222,273, which is less than half of what’s claimed. Hence, HMD probably ran the test on an older version of the benchmarking platform. Whatever the case, the silicon comes with 6nm fabrication, eight cores, and a peak clock speed of 2.2 GHz.

The two phones are different from one another in the configuration department. The HMD Crest comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM. On the other hand, HMD Crest Max is available in 8GB + 256GB memory and storage combo. Both phones offer virtual memory extension as well as external memory support. Furthermore, they come with Android 14 out of the box and will receive software updates for the next two years.

Camera and the rest

The cameras on these phones are one of the major differences between the two types of hardware. As I mentioned earlier, HMD Crest comes with two rear cameras, while the Max variant packs an extra shooter on the back. That being said, you get a 50MP primary shooter coupled with a 2MP depth sensor on the base model.

Meanwhile, the HMD Crest Max has a 64MP main, 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP depth shooter. In terms of the front camera, both the phones are equipped with a 50MP unit. While the hardware is there, these phones are capable of hands-free selfies with gesture controls.

The HMD Crest series comes with a 5,000 mAh battery in their tanks and supports 33W fast charging. Thanks to the processor they pack both these phones support 5G connectivity. Additionally, you also get WiFi 5 and Bluetooth v5.0 for further wireless connection. In the meantime, for wired connections, you get a 3.5mm headphone jack and USB Type-C port. They have a dual microphone setup, however, miss out on stereo speakers.

Honor 400 goes global with Snapdragon 7 Gen 3, launching soon in Nepal as well

Honor has launched a more affordable sibling to its flagship Honor 400 Pro — meet the Honor 400. While it sits slightly below in pricing and features, this phone still brings a lot to the table: a 200MP main camera, a premium curved AMOLED display, and a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SOC. And this guy is launching soon in Nepal as well. Here’s everything you need to know about the Honor 400’s specs, features, and expected price in Nepal.

Honor 400 Overview:

Design and Display

To start with, the Honor 400 brings a similar design to its Pro sibling. The color options, Desert Gold, Tidal Blue, and Midnight Black, are identical, as well as the camera modules. However, the middle frame is flat here, and you get an IP66 rating for protection against dust and water splashes.

In terms of display, the Honor 400 sports a 6.55-inch AMOLED curved display with a 2736 × 1264 pixel resolution. It boasts a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR 10, 3840Hz PWM dimming, and 1.5 nits of minimum brightness. Here, you get a minimal hole-punch cutout instead of a pill-shaped notch on the Pro version.

Performance

Under the hood, the Honor 400 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, the same SoC we got on the Honor 200. Built on a 4nm process, it’s still efficient and capable for day-to-day tasks, social media, and even gaming. It comes with either 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, along with 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.

As for the software, it runs on the latest Android 15, layered with MagicOS 9.0, Honor’s custom UI, which brings smart features and a clean interface.

Optics

One of the headlining features of the Honor 400 is its 200MP main camera with OIS (optical image stabilization). Supporting it is a 12MP ultra-wide camera that also doubles as a macro lens. But sadly, it misses out on the 2.5X telephoto camera, which was there on the Honor 200. On the front, you’ll find a 50MP shooter for snapping selfies and taking video calls.
