8. ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED 2025 (AMD & Intel Models)
At the premium end of our list, we have two exceptional OLED ultrabooks that represent the pinnacle of portable computing. The AMD-powered ZenBook 14 OLED 2025 features the new Ryzen AI 7 350 processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, bringing AMD’s latest AI capabilities and efficient Zen 5 architecture. Meanwhile, the Intel UX5406SA model steps up with the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 256V from the Lunar Lake series, offering superior efficiency and AI processing.
Both models share the stunning 14-inch 3K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, 500-600 nits HDR peak brightness, and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage. The AMD model comes in striking Jade Black finish and includes Wi-Fi 7 support, while both feature premium build quality weighing just 1.2kg with excellent audio systems and comprehensive port selections including Thunderbolt 4.
This is the premium variant of ASUS’s popular VivoBook series, featuring the powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor with 16 cores and 16 threads. What sets the VivoBook S 14 apart from the regular VivoBook models is the upgraded specifications – you get a massive 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, enhanced build quality, and a larger 70Wh battery for extended productivity sessions.
The 14-inch WUXGA IPS display offers good color reproduction with anti-glare coating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The port selection includes dual USB-C with power delivery, dual USB-A ports, HDMI 1.4, and both SD and MicroSD card readers.
Apple’s latest MacBook Air brings the M4 chip to the iconic 13-inch form factor, delivering exceptional performance per watt that Intel still struggles to match. The M4 features a 10-core CPU with improved single-thread performance and an 8-core or 10-core GPU depending on configuration.
The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display maintains the same excellent 500-nit brightness and P3 wide color support we’ve come to expect. What’s impressive is the fanless design that never compromises on performance, thanks to Apple’s incredible silicon efficiency. You can configure this with up to 24GB unified memory and 512GB storage, though the base 256GB might feel limiting for power users.
Lenovo brings serious business credentials with the ThinkBook 14, powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor. The 14-inch WUXGA IPS display might not be as flashy as OLED alternatives, but its anti-glare coating and 300-nit brightness make it practical for office environments. What really sets this apart is the upgradeable dual-channel DDR5 RAM (up to 64GB) and dual M.2 SSD slots supporting up to 2TB each. The 1.36kg weight is reasonable considering the feature set.
Acer’s Swift AI lineup represents the brand’s commitment to AI-enhanced computing with three distinct models. The Swift 14 AI comes in two processor variants – the Ultra 5 226V and Ultra 7 256V, both featuring the latest Lunar Lake architecture with impressive AI capabilities. The Swift 16 AI steps up with the Ultra 7 258V and premium specifications.
All models feature gorgeous OLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates, though the 16-inch model bumps resolution to 2.8K. The base Ultra 5 model offers excellent value at Rs. 1,24,999 with its 14-inch WUXGA OLED panel, while the Ultra 7 variant adds more processing power for Rs. 1,37,999. The 16-inch model is the flagship with 32GB RAM and 1TB storage, commanding Rs. 1,79,999.
Even with the M4 now available, the M2 MacBook Air remains a compelling choice, especially with its current pricing in Nepal. The M2 chip still delivers excellent performance for most users, and the overall experience remains virtually identical to the newer model.
The 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display with 500 nits brightness and P3 wide color support looks stunning, while the fanless design ensures silent operation. Battery life easily stretches beyond 10 hours of real-world usage. The main limitation is the 256GB base storage, though you can opt for 16GB unified memory which helps with multitasking.
ASUS offers excellent value with both 14-inch and 16-inch VivoBook models, both priced identically at Rs. 1,19,499. Both feature the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H processor with 14 cores and solid integrated graphics performance. The choice comes down to screen size preference – the 14-inch model weighs 1.46kg while the 16-inch tips the scales at 1.89kg.
Both models pack 16GB DDR5 RAM with one available SO-DIMM slot for future upgrades up to 32GB total. The WUXGA IPS displays offer good color reproduction with 45% NTSC coverage, though brightness is limited to 300 nits.
Taking the top spot is the Acer Swift Go 14, and for good reason. At Rs. 1,10,999, it offers the best overall package with premium features typically found in much more expensive laptops. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H delivers solid performance with 14 cores, while the display features an OLED 90Hz display, while you also opt for slightly cheaper one but featuring an IPS display.
The OLED variant particularly stands out with 400 nits brightness, 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, and that gorgeous 1ms response time. Build quality feels premium with the slim 17.5-18.8mm profile and reasonable 1.32kg weight. Port selection includes modern USB-C alongside legacy USB-A, HDMI 2.1, and even a MicroSD slot. The 65Wh battery paired with Intel’s efficient architecture should provide solid all-day performance.
Realme has officially launched the Realme C71, a budget-friendly smartphone in Nepal. This new device comes with a sizeable 6300mAh battery and UNISOC T7250 SoC. Without further delay, let’s head into the specs, features, and official price of the Realme C71 in Nepal.
Realme C71 Overview
Design and Display
Beginning with the design side of things, the Realme C71 sports an elegant look, thanks to its feather-textured rear panel. You get a rectangular camera module, while the bottom side houses the Realmee branding. Both the Whits Swan and Forest Owl colorways look equally good. On top of that, the device also boasts ArmorShell protection and MIL-STD-810H certification for added durability.
As for the display, you are greeted with a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel with a HD+ 1604 x 720 pixels resolution. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, 725nits of peak brightness, and 83% NTSC color gamut.
Under the hood, the Realme C71 is powered by the Unisoc T7250 octa-core processor.

So guess what? I have two Nothing Phone (3) in for review today.
That’s right, I bought two Nothing Phone (3)s so if anyone from Guinness World Records is watching… please… can I get my name in your books now? ‘Cause I don’t think anyone else in the world spent their money to own two of these.
I’m just messing around. I didn’t buy ‘em.
They’re both review units loaned to me, and there’s exactly one reason why I needed two Nothing Phone (3)s in the first place. So instead of just me using the phone, gathering my experience, and then drafting a review… I wanted to do something… different for Nothing’s first “flagship” smartphone.
Nothing Phone (3) review: Specifications
Design and Build: 160.6 x 75.59 x 8.99 mm, 218 gm, IP68 rating
The reason I wanted to do things a little differently is because I have someone in the office who’s been a faithful fan of Nothing for as long as I can remember. He’s been using the Phone (2)(review) for over a year now, and I can’t stress enough how excited he was about finally upgrading to the Phone (3).
Do you guys remember how happy Michael was when Toby was finally leaving the office?
Yeah… multiply that by tenfold and you might have a rough idea of how psyched he was for this guy. Forwarding every little leaks and rumors to the office group chat, setting up discussions for what Nothing could be cooking… and just hyping it up all day everyday!
To the point where his enthusiasm honestly felt a little annoying.
But when the first (sorta) official-looking renders of Phone (3) hit the internet, everything changed.
It was like how Toby came back to the office and all Michael could do was scream “NO!”.
We even placed a bet, actually, on whether those leaked images were actually real. I was on the side saying those images were 100% real, while he wouldn’t believe it. I think “a design-first company would never design something so ugly” were his exact words.
Although on July 2 — the very next day after the launch event — he was paying for ice cream for everyone at the office. Thanks, Nothing.
The design.
160.6 x 75.59 x 8.99 mm, 218 gm
Glass front/back, aluminum frames
IP68 dust/water resistance
A new “Glyph Matrix” interface
Even I’m not a fan of how the Phone (3) looks, to be honest. I’ve had it in my pocket for a couple of weeks now, and I thought (I hoped) it would grow on me after a while. But I don’t think that’s happening.
The asymmetry of it all is throwing me off every time I look at it.
I’m a big fan of different, different’s good. But apparently there was a limit to how much “different” I could digest and the Phone (3) is just too much for me.
So naturally, I thought most other people would feel the same way as well. Which is why I went around asking literally everyone I met how they felt about the Nothing Phone (3)’s look.
From my mom, my sister, my neighbors, my friends, my colleagues, and even a handful of strangers I ran across. And out of 30 people I surveyed in this super-scientific test, guess how many agreed with me? Just 6.
Thank God I didn’t bet on it because almost half the people in my survey had overwhelmingly positive things to say about this design. Most of them found it “different”, “unique”, “cool”, and “plain badass”.
So the lesson I’m taking away from my little experiment is that if you thought the Nothing Phone (3) looked horrible on renders, you might change your mind when you actually have it in your hands.
I didn’t, and neither did my fanboy teammate, but you might.
What the Glyph?!
And I gotta talk about this new “Glyph Matrix” too. Because I was thinking that Nothing had something special planned for its iconic “Glyph Interface” this time… but nope.
The lightshow is gone, replaced by this circular monochromatic LED display called “Glyph Matrix” that’s supposed to be more functional, more intuitive.
Now, before I say anything else, I’ll definitely admit that there’s a lot of benefit to having a proper, rich visual interface instead of just some flashing lights.
Take “Essential Notifications”, for example.
It’s probably my favorite feature on a Nothing phone, and it helps me stay focused by lighting up only when I get notifications from apps that are important to me. And while that used to be limited to a single strip of light on literally every single Nothing phone before this, the Phone (3) takes it a step further.
I can get super nitpicky and create my own rules on what apps, contacts, or keywords get to notify me, and I can also customize them with emojis. Or even a photo from my gallery but they honestly look terrible on this tiny dot-matrix display.
I got around setting it up pretty easily as well, although I feel like this super useful feature can quickly feel a little overwhelming to get going for most folks. Since Nothing doesn’t explain how to set it up anywhere. Uh-uh.
I guess you might find it somewhat familiar if you’ve ever used “Shortcuts” on iPhones or “Routines” on Samsung phones, but there definitely needs to be some sort of tutorial for this… somewhere.
The Glyph Matrix also has a few other tricks up its sleeve.
Including a clock, a battery level visualizer, a cool-but-useless viewfinder to take selfies, a couple of games like rock-paper-scissors, spin the bottle, and also a stopwatch. Which might be the most stupidly-designed thing I’ve seen recently.
I heard you like stopwatches
So the way I interact with these “Glyph Toys” — as Nothing likes to call them — is from that small capacitive button below the Glyph Matrix. I can single-press to shuffle through the toys and long-press to launch one.
The only problem with this design for a stopwatch is that I now need a stopwatch for my stopwatch because there’s a whole lot of delay in starting and stopping the stopwatch.
The even bigger issue I have with this Glyph Matrix is that it’s just not as cool as the Glyph lights. I may be in the minority on this one but man… it looks kinda boring compared to the full-of-life, punk rock aesthetics of having all those lightstrips glow up on older Nothing phones. Especially the Phone 2.
I really hope Nothing finds a way to make it a lot more useful because — so far — I don’t see how this is any less “gimmicky” than the Glyph Interface they left behind. Like I just said, at least that one looked cool!
The Phone (3) is as sturdy as they come
But keeping aside all my complaints for a moment, I must say this is an incredibly well-built phone. Kudos to Nothing on that.
The use of metal for the frames and glass for everything else means its hands-on feel is just *chef’s kiss*. I think this is the first time Nothing shipped a protective case inside the box itself, although this is also the first Nothing phone that I think you should use without a case to really appreciate how nice it feels to hold.
It’s also fully dust and watersealed with an IP68 rating — but for what’s supposed to be a flagship phone — Nothing has sure made some bizarre compromises with the Phone (3). Which is something you’re gonna hear a bunch of times throughout this review, by the way.
I normally don’t like nitpicking about these kinds of stuff — and I doubt any of my nitpicks are dealbreakers either — but when you say something is “flagship” and then skip on stuff that’s naturally expected from a “flagship”, I have to.
But the million-dollar question is?
Okay, so the Phone (3) has a controversial design. We get it. But nothing else about it could possibly get any worse, right? Right?
That’s exactly what we were thinking as well until Nothing announced the price. I was guessing the Phone (3) would end up selling for like NPR 80,000 in Nepal… while it turns out most of my team were even more delusional.
Hoping it would cost around NPR 70,000 only.
‘Cause you probably already know by now that the Phone (3) costs an absurd NPR 110,000. What’s ironic is that this makes India — Nothing’s largest market by far — also where the Phone (3) costs the most. Since the Phone (3) is even more expensive in India with a starting price of INR 80,000 (NPR 128,000).
I think I read somewhere about how Nothing wasn’t making any money with their phones before this… so is that why this thing is so expensive, Carl?
And remember my fanboy colleague?
He was actually convinced this was a “prank” at first… and went through all the 5 stages of grief before finally accepting that the Phone (3) is simply asking too much. I was also ready to dismiss it as another overpriced fish in the aquarium at first, but you know me.
I don’t wanna make any claim without testing the product myself. Maybe Nothing had some method to this madness, I don’t know. That’s what I had to find out.
And fast forward to a couple of weeks later, I’ve come to realize that there are definitely some aspects of the Phone (3) that kinda feel flagship-ish. And some aspects that feel a couple steps below what I’d call flagship.
A flagship-ish display
6.67-inch 1.5K+ AMOLED panel
Gorilla Glass 7i protection, 120Hz refresh rate (no LTPO)
1,600 nits (HBM) / 4,500 nits brightness (HDR)
Like its display.
It’s big, it’s bright, it’s got lovely uniform bezels on all four sides, the touch response feels nice and quick, and the haptics are super crisp and sharp as well.
So doesn’t matter if I’m casually browsing the internet out in the Sun, playing some games, streaming a show, or replying to my group chats, the Phone (3)’s display is up for all those tasks.
I know Nothing had to downgrade the PWM dimming rate from 2,160Hz to 960Hz in the final retail software for “better picture quality”, although this is a total non-issue for me. But the reason I say this display is “flagship-ish” and not “flagship” is because — once again — Nothing decided to make some bizarre compromises here.
Like how there’s no LTPO to save power by dropping the refresh rate to just 1Hz. It can only swing between 60 and 120Hz.
This awkwardly placed fingerprint reader is also an optical one instead of the usual ultrasonic fingerprint reader we see on most flagship phones.
Meaning you’ll have less luck getting into your phone in case your hands are dirty or wet.
And since Nothing doesn’t ship any bloatware apps on its phones — and Netflix doesn’t give HDR certification without having its app pre-installed — I guess your Netflix streaming sessions could feel somewhat dull too.
In an (un)elite league of its own
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 (4nm)
12/16GB RAM, 256/512GB storage (non-expandable)
I’m getting notes of flagship-ish characters from the Phone (3)’s performance as well.
‘Cause instead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip that we all expected from a “true flagship”, Nothing went with Qualcomm’s next best thing. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4.
The same Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip that you can find on some Chinese smartphones that literally cost less than half as much as the Nothing Phone (3). Like the POCO F7 or the iQOO Neo 10.
And if you look at all sorts of benchmarks, it’s obvious that Qualcomm’s second-best processor is a lot less underpowered than its very best. In every. single. thing.
But I think both of us agreed right away that its 8 Elite absence wouldn’t be such a massive deal. I’ve tested this 8s Gen 4 chip on a couple of other phones already, and I know how powerful it is. And as I expected, I can’t remember a single time when it felt like the Phone (3) couldn’t keep up with whatever I was doing.
Even when it comes to gaming, the 8s Gen 4 actually behaves a lot like what you’d get from a phone with the 8 Elite chip.
The one pesky little thing that ruins the fun here is that the Phone (3) gets hot.
I’m not even trying to be funny when I say that its thermals are actually worse than some of the compact phones I’ve tested recently. And I can’t blame it all on the summer heat either because I’ve been testing phones all summer. And this is by far the hottest phone on my list.
The worst part is that the Nothing Phone (3) tends to warm up when I’m doing something as basic as doomscrolling on social media as well. So I’m not sure if the blame is on Qualcomm for its thermally unimpressive chip, Nothing for its poor cooling solution, or both. Maybe both.
Nothing OS is the gift that keeps on giving
Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.5 on top
5 years of OS and 7 years of security updates
And the only aspect where the Phone (3) acts and feels like a “true flagship” is the software. I’ve said this before, and I don’t mind repeating myself: Nothing OS is easily one of the best Android skins out there. And also among my personal favorites. Right below Samsung’s excellent “One UI 7”.
You know how we usually say “it just works” when talking about Apple products? I think it’s time we started describing Nothing OS the same way as well. It just works, man!
The animation, the design, and the overall user experience… everything feels so thought-out, so purposeful, and right how it should be. I’m not that into customizing every little thing on my phone these days like I used to be, but my colleague still is.
And you should see how differently we set up our homescreens because I’m more about a clean aesthetic that’s easy on the eyes. While he enjoys a bit of chaos with all… those personalized widgets.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that whether you prefer a software experience that doesn’t try to get in your way — or if you’re super into customizing every little thing about your phone — you’re gonna love Nothing OS.
I was also really looking forward to the new “Essential Search” thing on Nothing OS 3.5.
It’s a really cool feature that lets me search through everything from my files, my contacts, my messages, do some basic math, unit conversions, or even get answers using AI. Right from the search bar. I’ve been using something similar on my MacBook with “Raycast”, so you can only imagine how psyched I was for Nothing’s Essential Search.
But it turns out this feature isn’t available in a lot of countries. Including Nepal. And no, a VPN couldn’t trick it either.
That means the only bit of AI feature at my disposal on the Phone (3) was the “Essential Space”. Which even gets a dedicated button so I can screenshot a memo or attach a voice note and have Nothing’s AI summarize or contextualize my notes into something hopefully useful. Or even have it set helpful reminders.
The “summarizing” part itself feels weak… and the fact that I can’t access these notes anywhere else besides the phone is such a major bummer. Meaning I’m still taking notes on Google Keep like always… that I can access from my phone, my laptop, and even my smartwatch.
I think Nothing can very easily shut me up by building a web portal for Essential Space, so I’m still pretty hopeful. And there’s a lot of time to do so as well because the Phone (3) has 5 whole years of OS updates and 7 years of security updates to its name.
Its battery life isn’t impressive…
5,150 mAh battery (65W wired charging)
15W wireless, 5W reverse wireless charging support
No power adapter inside the box
Alright. So far, I haven’t touched on two things about the Nothing Phone (3).
• the battery life and the cameras.
And as you may have guessed already, both of ‘em are a couple of steps below what I’d expect from a flagship phone.
The battery thing was especially surprising because the Phone (3) actually has a pretty decent 5,500 mAh silicon-carbon battery in India. Or a slightly smaller 5,150 mAh one on the global unit including Nepal.
We have both of ‘em at our office, and man… it had been a while since I had battery anxiety with a phone. It struggles to go through the entire day if it’s a particularly busy one where I’m taking a lot of photos and videos, using mobile data and navigation, while also passing the time with some games in my free time.
And like 6 – 6.5 hours of screen time was all we managed to get out of this guy before having to plug it in. Where our 65W CMF charger was able to fill it completely in a little over an hour.
The Phone (3) brings a 50MP sensor across the board for selfies, ultrawide, 1x, and 3x zoom shots — so hardware-wise — things seem pretty solid. Even though its periscope camera is weirdly smaller and slower than the one on Nothing’s cheaper Phone (3a) Pro.
Nothing Phone (3)
Nothing Phone (3a) Pro
50MP OmniVision OV50H main sensor, 1/1.3”, f/1.68, OIS + EIS
50MP ISOCELL GNJ main sensor, 1/1.56”, f/1.88, OIS + EIS
8MP Sony IMX355 ultrawide sensor, 1/4.0″, f/2.2, 120° FOV
50MP ISOCELL JN5 periscope sensor, 1/2.75″, f/2.68, OIS + EIS
50MP Sony LYTIA 600 periscope sensor, 1/1.95″, f/2.55, OIS + EIS
I warned you about such bizarre compromises, right?
“Not to worry”, I said to myself. “Because the Phone (3) has a superior image processor with that 8s Gen 4 chip… and Nothing must have optimized its cameras the best it could too.”
So for what it’s worth, I found the Phone (3)’s casual point-and-shoot experience to be pretty solid. The camera app also feels pretty intuitive.

From colors to dynamic range and details, I’ve shot a bunch of amazing photos with this phone. And I don’t know how Nothing did it but the Phone (3)’s selfies and lowlight photos are simply fantastic. I’ve no complaints there.

I actually compared its cameras with Galaxy S25 as well… just to see where Nothing’s flagship phone stands. And if I had to rate these two, I’d give the Phone (3)’s cameras a solid “B+”. While the Galaxy S25 earns an “A”.

Even when it comes to videos, the Phone (3) can shoot at up to 4K 60 fps from all four of its cameras. And while the footage itself looks pretty decent — minus the slightly wonky stabilization if I make any sort of sharp movement — the sad part is that I can’t really switch between all the lenses in this mode.
If I start the recording from the main camera, I can’t switch to the ultrawide lens in the middle of recording.
And if I start recording from the ultrawide camera, I can’t switch to the zoom lens.
It’s just… not what I’d call flagship level at all.
Nothing Phone (3) review: Conclusion
So after all is said and done, I think it’s pretty clear that the Nothing Phone (3) has been a pretty major letdown. Not just to critics like me, but also to most hardcore Nothing fanboys who were truly excited for the company’s first flagship phone.
The pricing is absurd, and the product itself doesn’t live up to Nothing’s flagship promises. The Phone (3) feels underplanned, underdesigned, and ultimately underwhelming.
That’s as simple as I can put it.
I can imagine just how differently my review of the Nothing Phone (3) would’ve gone if it was only priced like 20 – 30% cheaper. But, alas! So if you really want a flagship phone (and are willing to spend over 1 lakh rupees on one), then I don’t think you should get the Phone (3).
I also can’t help but wonder if Nothing was ready to swim with the flagship sharks this early in the game. Or if it even needed to, to be honest.
Because we’ve seen how even more mature brands like OnePlus and Xiaomi have struggled to nail the flagship experience for the longest time.
I’m not saying that just because those other brands couldn’t, neither could Nothing. But sometimes when you shoot for the Moon, you may experience rapid unscheduled disassembly right after liftoff.
Now I see Carl saying stuff like how they didn’t build this phone for everyone… or riding off MKBHD’s “crabs and lobsters” analogy to convince the public how the Phone (3) is like the ultimate “different” phone in the world.
And I’m over here like… “did you guys forget all the other phones you made?”
Literally all of them were kissed with uniqueness while still being solid value.
I also realize that Nothing is still a relatively new brand in the smartphone world. With not a whole lot of resources to compete against the big boys at this time. But at the end of the day, I can only sympathize with my words. Not my wallet.

• Nothing OS 3.5 is very, very good
• Its cameras are not flagship material
• The battery life should’ve been better as well
• A bunch of small, annoying compromises across the phone
Honor launched the Pad X9 in 2023 and now it’s launching soon in Nepal with the Pad X9a as its new mid-range tablet in Nepal. Although the price is still not revealed, we have all the details on the specs and features. Let’s go through the details of Honor X9a including its specifications and expected price in Nepal.
Honor Pad X9a Specifications
Design and Display
The Honor Pad X9a comes in a single gray color with a dual-tone finish. The top part is slightly lighter while the lower half darkens a bit. While the Honor Pad X9 has a pilled-shaped camera island with two cameras the “a” series comes with a single camera module. On the front it has an 11.5” LCD screen with a resolution of 2,508 x 1,504 pixels. The display offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 400 nits, making it decent for everyday use and media consumption.
Performance and Battery
Under the hood, just like its predecessor the X9a is powered by the Snapdragon 685 chipset. It features an octa-core CPU with four Cortex-A73 cores at 2.8 GHz and four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 1.9 GHz. For memory, it comes with 8GB of RAM which can be virtually expanded by another 8GB from the 128GB storage. You’ll also find it running on Android 15 with MagicOS 9.0.
In terms of battery, it comes with a hefty 8,300mAh battery which supports 35W fast charging. Honor claims that it can last up to 70 days on standby which is pretty impressive.
While camera hardware is usually not a focus for tablets the Honor X9a is no exception. It has an 8MP rear camera with autofocus and an f/2.0 aperture. The 5MP front camera should handle basic video calls or selfies well.
For connectivity, the tablet supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1. Also, you will get the option to use a wireless keyboard and stylus. Other than that there is Voice Notes with AI assistance that supports automatic speech-to-text conversion.

The new Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is now available in Nepal. It brings back the iconic rotating bezel, a brighter 3,000 nits display, alongside a bunch of new health and fitness tracking features. So let’s learn all about the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, including its features, complete specifications, official price in Nepal, and availability.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic Overview:
Design and display
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic blends timeless design with modern utility, featuring the iconic rotating bezel for precise control and a sleek stainless steel case that complements any style. Samsung has also introduced the “Cushion Design” here (the same one that we first saw on last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra) with rounded square edges.
Whereas it now uses Samsung’s proprietary “Dynamic Lug System” for the band, that is unfortunately incompatible with the universal 20mm bands you might have lying around.
On the display front, the Watch 8 Classic now boasts a brighter 3000-nits AMOLED display. It’s protected by Sapphire Crystal glass against any sorts of scratches or bumps, although that “Cushion Design” means the Watch 8 Classic has a pretty small 1.34-inch display. Even though it’s a big 46mm watch.
Software and AI features
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic runs on the newly redesigned One UI 8 Watch based on Wear OS 6, offering a cleaner interface. Alongside “Now Bar” for quick access to active apps and widgets like sleep, energy score, and workouts. This is also the first smartwatch to integrate Google’s Gemini AI. Meaning you can send messages, get email summaries, or set reminders using natural voice commands directly from your wrist.
For health, the Watch 8 Classic has a couple of AI-powered features as well. Like “Energy Score”, giving daily readiness insights, and “Sleep Coaching” for personalized bedtime guidance.
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 brings a bunch of new health and fitness tracking features as well. Including “Running Coach” programs for 5Ks and marathons.
For wellness, it also introduces “Antioxidant Index” to reflect your dietary balance and give you an insight on how healthy you’ve been eating. Whereas it can also help monitor the stress level when you sleep with something called “Vascular Load”. Besides all this, the Galaxy Watch 8 series can also measure your AGEs Index, body composition, and all the other basic stuff.
Battery and connectivity
The Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is fueled by 445 mAh battery, which has been paired with Samsung’s own Exynos W1000 chip that we first saw on the Galaxy Watch 7(review) last year. It’s a 3nm processor which is impressively powerful and power-efficient as well, so we’re expecting 1 – 2 days of battery life here.
And since it supports fast charging, you can get almost 50% charge by plugging it in for half an hour.
For connectivity, the Watch 8 Classic comes with Bluetooth and LTE options. Although the one available in Nepal doesn’t have LTE connectivity. It features L1+L5 dual-frequency GPS though for accurate outdoor tracking during runs and rides.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic Price in Nepal and Availability
In Nepal, the price of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic is NPR 74,999. You can buy it in Nepal from Samsung-authorized stores like our affiliate partner: Hukut Store.

Samsung has officially dropped the Galaxy Watch 8 in Nepal, which now brings a thinner design, improved display, and new AI-powered health tracking tools. So let’s dive into this article to discuss everything about the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, including its official price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Overview
Design and display
The Galaxy Watch 8 is available in two sizes — 40mm and 44mm. It’s thinner than before, measuring about 11% less in thickness compared to the Galaxy Watch 7(review). Samsung has also made the display 50% brighter. The overall design appears to be quite clean and minimal, built to sit flush under a sleeve.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 vs Watch 8 Classic vs Watch 8 Ultra
Meanwhile, on the other side, Samsung also launched Watch 8 Classic and a slightly upgraded Galaxy Watch Ultra as well. Compared to the vanilla Watch 8, the Watch 8 Classic brings back the rotating bezel and a more traditional timepiece look.
Software and AI features
It runs on One UI 8 Watch, which is based on Wear OS 6. The new software brings small but useful changes like grouped notifications and the “Now Bar”, which lets you jump back into an activity or media session quickly.
What sets the Galaxy Watch 8 apart is the exclusive AI integration. Google Gemini is built-in for voice commands, but there’s more. You’re getting features like antioxidant detection, AI sleep coaching, real-time running assessments, and stress tracking during sleep. These AI tools are only available on the Watch 8 lineup and the Watch Ultra — older Galaxy watches won’t get them, even with updates.
Health and fitness tracking
Samsung is pushing health features further this year. The Watch 8 can estimate your antioxidant levels using a finger sensor — something that usually requires lab testing. It also tracks vascular load while you sleep, meaning it will give you insights on stress and recovery after a few nights of use.
Sleep tracking is more adaptive now, such that ideal sleep and wake times will be based on your habits. For runners, the watch provides a 12-minute assessment to rank your fitness level and then builds a custom training plan with coaching support during runs.
Battery and connectivity
Battery life has been slightly improved with an 8% bump in capacity. One should expect around 30 hours with the always-on display and up to 40 hours without it. LTE variants are also available, which cost extra.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Price in Nepal and Availability
The official price of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 in Nepal is NPR 54,999 for the 40mm and NPR 59,999 for the larger 44mm model. They’re both non-LTE models, by the way, and you can buy them in Nepal from Samsung-authorized stores like our affiliate partner: Hukut Store.

Infinix is getting ready to launch a new gaming-focused phone — the GT 30 5G+. It’s basically a toned-down version of the GT 30 Pro, but it keeps some of the cool gamer aesthetics and performance chops. This article will discuss everything about the latest Infinix GT 30 5G+, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
Infinix GT 30 5G+ Rumors
Design and Build
The GT 30 5G+ follows the Cyber Mecha Design 2.0, same as the GT 30 Pro. There are customizable LED light strips on the back — but only in white this time. It also includes shoulder trigger controls for gaming, which is rare at the price point it should come.
Gaming and Performance
Meanwhile, it’s also certified by KRAFTON to run BGMI at 90fps, which is a big deal for fans of the game. While Infinix hasn’t officially listed the chipset, Geekbench leaks suggest it’ll run on the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 — same chip as the vivo T4R. As for RAM, it’ll likely come with 8GB.
There’s no official launch date yet, but the GT 30 5G+ is expected to drop next month in India — likely as a Flipkart exclusive. While the Indian price isn’t official yet, the GT 30 5G+ is expected to launch around INR 16,999. That means when it hits Nepal, it should start at no less than NPR 36,000.

vivo just launched the T4R, a mid-range phone with a big 6.77-inch AMOLED screen, a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chip, and a 5,700mAh battery. It’s actually a rebranded iQOO Z10R, but it comes with vivo’s own Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15. This article will discuss everything about the latest vivo T4R, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
vivo T4R Overview
Design and Display
The T4R is pretty slim at 7.3mm thick and weighs 183.5 grams. It has a large 6.77-inch quad-curved Full HD+ AMOLED display that runs at a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The peak brightness hits a bright 1,800 nits, and the screen is protected by Diamond Shield Glass, made in partnership with Schott, a German glass-maker. The vivo T4R comes in Arctic White and Twilight Blue
Performance and Software
Inside, it packs the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC, paired with up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB UFS 2.2 storage. It runs on Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15. vivo promises 2 years of OS upgrades and 3 years of security updates, which is decent for this segment.
Camera and Battery
For selfies, you’re getting a 32MP front camera that can shoot 4K video. On the back, there’s a 50MP main sensor (Sony IMX882) with OIS, plus a 2MP bokeh lens. The camera supports 4K video recording on both front and rear, underwater photography, and multi-focal portrait shots.
Powering the phone is a 5,700mAh battery that charges at 44W wired over USB-C. It also supports bypass charging, so you can use your phone while charging without affecting battery health.
Other Features
The phone has IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, plus MIL-STD-810H certification for durability. The fingerprint sensor is in-display, and you get dual stereo speakers for sound..
DJI just dropped its first 360° action camera — the Osmo 360 — and it’s going all in. We’re talking 8K video, panoramic photos, cold-weather durability, and a design built for the extremes. This article will discuss everything about the latest DJI Osmo 360, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
DJI Osmo 360 Overview
Design and Display
The Osmo 360 looks exactly like what you’d expect from DJI. It has a compact body with a 2-inch touchscreen on the back (314 x 556 resolution) and packs everything inside without bulky add-ons. Plus, it’s tough enough to record even in -20°C, which is rare in this space.
You’re getting two 1/1.1-inch CMOS sensors, which together act like a 1-inch sensor when shooting in 360°. And here’s the thing — these aren’t repurposed phone sensors. DJI developed custom square HDR sensors just for this camera, and it offers 13.5 stops of dynamic range and a bright f/1.9 aperture.
For video, it handles:
8K 30fps natively, and up to 8K 50fps with upscaling
4K up to 100fps
Single-lens 5K at 60fps or 4K ultra-wide at 120fps
Still photos are no joke either — it shoots 30.72MP images from one lens or a whopping 120MP panoramic photo when using both.
Performance and Battery
The battery performance here also looks quite solid:
100 minutes of 8K 30fps 360° video
190 minutes at 6K 24fps
Even in sub-zero, it can run up to 1.5 hours
There’s also HorizonSteady to keep footage level even if the camera rotates, and RockSteady 3.0 for stabilization when things get rough.
Storage and Smart Features
The Osmo 360 comes with 128GB internal storage, out of which 105GB is usable, plus microSD support up to 1TB. It has Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth, and you can control it using hand gestures or voice commands — pretty useful if it’s mounted or flying.
DJI Osmo 360 Specifications
Display: 2-inch LCD, 314 x 556 resolution
Camera: Dual 1/1.1-inch CMOS, square HDR sensors
Video: Up to 8K 50fps (upscaled), 8K 30fps (native), 4K 100fps, 5K 60fps
BatteryLife: 100 mins (8K 30fps), 190 mins (6K 24fps), 1.5 hrs at -20°C
Stabilization: HorizonSteady, RockSteady 3.0
Storage: 128GB built-in (105GB usable), microSD up to 1TB
Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth
Features: Gesture and voice control, cold-weather durability
DJI Osmo 360 Price in Nepal and Availability
The Osmo 360 is priced in Europe at €480 for the Standard Combo and €630 for the Adventure Combo. When it eventually lands in Nepal, expect the starting price to be no less than NPR 76,800.
Which are the best phones in 2025? And what factors should you consider before making a purchase? Here in this article, you’ll find all the useful info and our best phone picks for 2025. Before heading to our top picks and buying guides, let’s have a glance at the history, trends, and types of smartphones in general.
Best Phones in 2025 [Our Top Picks]
Best Phone in Nepal under 15,000
1. Infinix HOT 60i
The Infinix HOT 60i is a new contender in Nepal’s budget smartphone space, and it brings quite a few appealing features for its price. It sports a large 6.7-inch IPS LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate — something rarely seen in this segment — and while it’s only HD+ in resolution, the colors and brightness levels (up to 700 nits) hold up well for daily use. The phone is slim, lightweight, and comes with a glossy design and IP64 rating, giving it a modern, durable touch. You also get a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm jack, and a USB-C port — all the essentials, basically.
Under the hood, the HOT 60i runs on a MediaTek Helio G81 chipset that handles regular tasks smoothly and supports casual gaming. You can choose between multiple RAM and storage variants (up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage), and all models support extended RAM and microSD expansion. The 5160mAh battery delivers reliable all-day usage, and the 45W fast charging — plus 10W reverse charging — is a major bonus in this range. It also ships with Android 15 via Infinix’s XOS skin, making the software experience feel fairly up to date.
The 20,000 category is basically for those guys who are looking for a mid-range smartphone experience with a moderate level of power, light gaming, and multimedia consumption. So you get just the average amount of performance and a fairly decent camera in this range. And, here are our current best picks for phones under 20,000 in Nepal.
1. Moto G35
Motorola is making a quiet comeback in Nepal, and the Moto G35 5G is one of the clearest signs of that. Priced at just NPR 19,000, it undercuts most competitors while still offering a surprisingly premium experience. With a vegan leather finish, stereo speakers, and a crisp 120Hz Full HD display, the G35 doesn’t feel like a typical budget phone. Motorola has also packed in extras like a 3.5mm headphone jack, IR blaster, and clean Android 14 software — all of which add to the overall appeal.
Performance-wise, things are decent but not flawless. The UNISOC T760 chipset handles daily use and casual apps without much fuss, and the 5000mAh battery offers solid endurance. But with only 4GB of RAM, multitasking is limited, and gaming performance is clearly not its strong suit — titles like PUBG and Free Fire struggle even at low settings. The camera setup is average too: the 50MP main sensor performs well in good light, but the ultra-wide lens falls short, especially in darker conditions. Still, the fact that it can shoot 4K videos at this price is impressive.
So, is the Moto G35 the best phone under 20k in Nepal? Yes, absolutely, if you’re after a reliable, stylish, and affordable 5G phone for everyday use — something for yourself or even your parents — this is a smart choice. It’s not obviously built for gamers , but for its price, it covers most bases well.
Specifications:
Design: Monotone design with plastic or vegan leather back, water-repellent
Dimensions: 166.29 mm x 75.98 mm x 7.79 mm
Weight: 188 grams or 191 grams

Resolution: FHD+ (1,080 x 2,400)
Chipset: Octa-core Unisoc T760 (6nm)
RAM: 4GB or 8GB + RAM Boost up to 4GB or 8GB
ROM: 128GB or 256GB + 1TB expandable with MicroSD card
OS & UI: Android 14 with My UX on top
Rear Camera: Dual Camera (50MP Primary + 8MP Ultrawide)
Front Camera: 16MP Camera (Centre-aligned hole-punch cutout)
Security: Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Face Unlock
The Redmi Note 14 4G is an excellent budget smartphone option in Nepal, offering impressive value at NPR 24,999. This device features a vibrant 6.67-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making it perfect for media consumption and casual gaming. The display gets bright at 1800 nits peak brightness and is protected by Gorilla Glass 5.
Powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 Ultra chipset built on a 6nm process, the phone delivers solid performance for everyday tasks. It comes with either 6GB or 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM paired with 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, providing smooth multitasking and fast app loading times. The camera setup includes a 108MP main sensor accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor and 2MP macro lens, capable of capturing detailed photos in good lighting conditions. The 20MP front camera handles selfies and video calls well. For security, it features an in-display optical fingerprint sensor and face unlock.
The 5,500mAh battery easily lasts a full day of usage and supports 33W fast charging. Additional features include stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and comprehensive connectivity options including Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, and GPS.
The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G is undoubtedly one of the best budget phones under 30,000 Rupees, offering a solid balance of design, performance, and features. The display is impressive, with a 6.7″ SUPER AMOLED screen and vibrant color reproduction. The camera setup is another highlight, delivering excellent photos with good color accuracy and dynamic range, making it one of the best budget camera phones currently available. With a long-lasting 5000mAh battery and 6 years of software updates, this phone promises great longevity and value for money.
However, while the A16 5G excels in many areas, it does have its drawbacks, particularly in gaming performance, as the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset struggles to handle more demanding games smoothly. The lack of stereo speakers and no 4K video recording may also be a disappointment for some users. Nonetheless, considering its overall package—design, camera quality, display, and long-term software support—the A16 5G is a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable, affordable phone under 30,000 Rupees.
Specifications
Display: 6.7″ SUPER AMOLED screen, 90Hz
Resolution: FHD+, 2408 x 1080 pixels
CPU: MediaTek Dimensity 6300, 6nm processor
Storage: 6/8GB RAM, 128/256GB (expandable using microSD card)
Finally, the CMF Phone 2 Pro is our top pick on this list of best phones under NPR 40000 in Nepal. It offers a significant upgrade over its predecessor, especially in terms of design and display. While it still comes with a plastic back, the phone feels more premium and modern thanks to improved build quality, slimmer bezels, and IP54 splash resistance. The modular design remains, but it has been refined to avoid frequent damage, making accessory swaps easier and less risky.
Up front, the 6.77-inch AMOLED display impresses with its sharpness, brightness, and 120Hz refresh rate. It also supports HDR content on YouTube and local playback, although Netflix HDR is missing. However, the lack of stereo speakers is a letdown, especially for media consumption.
In terms of performance, the Phone 2 Pro runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Pro chip paired with 8GB RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. While it’s not a major leap over the previous generation, it delivers smooth day-to-day performance and handles games like PUBG and Mobile Legends at 90 fps, with even Genshin Impact playable at decent frame rates.
That said, the phone tends to heat up under prolonged gaming. On the software front, the device comes with Android 15 and Nothing OS 3.2, which is clean, bloat-free, and offers three years of OS and six years of security updates — impressive for its price range.
The camera setup is where the CMF Phone 2 Pro truly shines. It’s the only phone in its segment in Nepal to feature a dedicated 2x telephoto lens alongside a 50MP primary and an 8MP ultrawide camera. The main sensor captures detailed shots with good dynamic range, and the portraits — even at multiple zoom levels — look natural with solid subject separation and accurate skin tones. The selfie camera is decent too, though it tends to add a pinkish tone. Night photography could use some work, particularly with handling bright lights and the underwhelming ultrawide sensor in low light.
CMF Phone 2 Pro Specifications:
Design and build: 164 x 78 x 7.8 mm, 185 gm, IP54 rating
The Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus stands out as one of the best phones under 50k, offering great value for money. It has a 6.67-inch 1.5K HDR OLED curved display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision support, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy a smooth, vibrant display. The design has been refreshed, with a more centered camera module, and the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 SoC, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, running on Android 14 with HyperOS 1.0.
For photography, the Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus keeps the 200MP main sensor with OIS, delivering sharp, detailed shots. However, the 50MP telephoto lens has been replaced with a 2MP macro sensor, which may be a letdown for some users. The 20MP front camera performs well for selfies. It packs a 5110mAh battery and supports 120W fast charging, ensuring you don’t have to wait long to recharge. With dual speakers, an IR blaster, and a solid build, this phone offers a premium experience without breaking the bank, making it one of the top choices under NPR 50,000.
Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G Specifications:
Design and Build: 162.53 x 74.67 x 8.75 – 8.85 mm, 205 – 210 gm, IP68 rating
Nothing Phone (3a) Pro is quite a device, which features a refreshed and quite unconventional (but not much as Nothing Phone 3) design. But i’d say it also has the most unique design of all the smartphones on this list. This is because of the Glyph interface at the back.
Basically, it’s the collection of LED lights that light up in the case of new notifications, incoming calls, and others. Helping the Glyph shine is the transparent back, which is another of Nothing’s selling points. But the rear panel this time is plastic, though. It is held together by plastic frames, while the Phone (3a) Pro is also IP64 dust/splash resistant.
Snapdragon 7s Gen 3
The Nothing Phone (3a) Pro is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chipset, offering reliable mid-range performance with a focus on efficiency and AI enhancements. It is paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage, delivering fast multitasking and smooth app performance. The device runs on Nothing OS, providing a clean, near-stock Android experience without unnecessary bloatware. Nothing is promising 3 years of major Android updates and 4 years of security patches, keeping the Phone (3a) Pro updated up to Android 18 — a solid commitment for a young brand. Compared to chips like the Dimensity 7200 Pro, the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 holds its own with better AI performance and optimized battery efficiency, although the GPU output is slightly lower in some cases.
For cameras, the Phone (3a) Pro sticks to a straightforward but capable setup: a triple camera system on its back. You get a 50MP main, 50MP periscope lens with 3X optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide camera. On the front, a 50MP selfie camera captures clear and vibrant self-portraits. The phone is backed by a 5000mAh battery with 50W fast charging support, ensuring long-lasting performance and quick top-ups when needed.
OnePlus Nord 5 manages to stand out by striking the right balance between performance, display quality, and design. With a 6.83-inch 144Hz Swift AMOLED screen, slim bezels, and a premium matte finish, it looks and feels flagship-like. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip inside delivers excellent day-to-day performance and even handles demanding games like Genshin Impact surprisingly well — all without heating issues, thanks to a large vapor chamber. OxygenOS remains smooth, clean, and reliable, and the promised four years of OS updates only sweetens the deal. Battery life is stellar, easily lasting two days, and the 80W fast charging tops it up in under an hour.
The only clear trade-off is the camera system. While the 50MP main and selfie cameras take good photos in daylight and deliver solid 4K video, the 8MP ultra-wide feels underwhelming, especially in low light. You also miss out on things like wireless charging and USB 3.0 speeds, and the storage downgrade from UFS 4.0 to UFS 3.1 is puzzling. Still, for most users, the Nord 5 checks nearly all the boxes — from a top-tier display and strong performance to good haptics, battery life, and refined software. If cameras aren’t your top priority, this is easily one of the best all-round phones under NPR 70,000 in 2025.
Samsung’s Galaxy A56 is the company’s most premium A-series phone yet, and it feels that way the moment you pick it up. With a solid glass build, Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection, IP67 rating, and a vivid 6.7-inch 120Hz Super AMOLED display, the A56 carries the looks and feel of a flagship. The new Exynos 1580 chipset also performs surprisingly well — smooth in daily use, cool even during stress tests, and generally better than expected for an Exynos chip. One UI 7.1 adds polish and long-term value with 6 years of software support. Battery life is solid too, with 45W fast charging finally included. For typical users who want a dependable daily driver with a polished UI, this phone delivers.
However, the A56 does come with caveats. Gaming isn’t its strong suit — PUBG maxes out at 30fps, and it lacks some AI and flagship-level One UI features. The camera setup is decent but nothing remarkable for the price; no telephoto lens, middling ultrawide performance, and inconsistent low-light shots hold it back. That said, for many buyers in Nepal, Samsung’s wide service availability, software longevity, EMI options, and overall trust factor make the A56 a “safe buy” — even if rivals like the Nothing Phone 3(a) Pro or OnePlus 13R offer better specs on paper.
The Honor 400 Pro builds on the foundation of the regular 400 with several meaningful upgrades, particularly in durability, performance, and camera capabilities. The phone is slightly larger and heavier, featuring a 6.7-inch curved AMOLED display with 10-bit color depth and the same 120Hz refresh rate. While the resolution is slightly lower than the Honor 400 on paper, the Pro model includes IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance—an upgrade over the 400’s IP65 rating, making it more resilient in harsher conditions.
A notable leap lies in performance. The 400 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a flagship-level processor that delivers higher processing power and efficiency than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 found in the standard 400.
