OPPO Find X9 series with Dimensity 9500 processor is launching globally

OPPO has confirmed that its upcoming Find X9 series of flagship phones is launching globally. And just like the Vivo X300 series, the OPPO Find X9 and Find X9 Pro will also be powered by MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9500 processor.

OPPO Find X9 Series rumors

Flagship chipset

Like I mentioned earlier, the Find X9 Series will be among the first phones to taste the Dimensity 9500 chip. This MediaTek-made processor goes directly toe to toe with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Apple’s A19 Pro on the new iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The Dimensity 9500 looks pretty impressive on paper, with its “all big core” design. Unlike how Qualcomm uses its self-designed “Oryon” CPU cores, MediaTek went with Arm’s next-gen CPUs here. For 32% better single-core and 17% better multi-core performance. Whereas its Mali-G1 Ultra GPU promises 33% better performance.

The Find X9 series is also said to come with OPPO’s Trinity Engine that enhances the chipset even further and helps it achieve peak performance. The engine also gives an introduction to Android’s first Unified Computing Power Model.

ColorOS 16

Along with the chipset, OPPO has revealed that the Find X9 series will be the first to boot with the new ColorOS 16, based on Android 16. ColorOS 16 comes with a bunch of system-wide upgrades and visual changes—including a “Liquid Glass UI” design like iOS 26.

Additionally, the devices will also offer a larger battery compared to their respective predecessors. Firstly, the OPPO Find X9 is confirmed to house a massive 7,025 mAh battery versus 5,630 mAh on the Find X8. While the Find X9 Pro will come with an even larger 7,500 mAh battery compared to a 5,910 mAh unit on the Find X8 Pro.

Updated design and cameras

OPPO has also officially unveiled the updated design of the Find X9 series. It will come in three colors: “Velvet Sand Titanium,” “Velvet Light Titanium,” “Frost White,” and “Mist Black”, and with a squarish camera module instead of a circular one. Similar to the OnePlus 15.

And of course, the biggest highlight of OPPO’s forthcoming flagships will be the cameras themselves. Unlike how OnePlus said goodbye to its Hasselblad partnership with the OnePlus 15, the Find X9 duo still retains Hasselblad optimization.

Other than this, we also know that the Find X9 Pro will come with a 200MP ISOCELL HP5 periscope camera. Both of them will host a 50MP primary, a 50MP ultrawide, and a color spectrum sensor as well.

Furthermore, the Find X9 will have a 6.59-inch display, while the X9 Pro will boast a 6.78-inch screen. Rumors suggest that OPPO has decided to go with flat AMOLED panels this time instead of a curved one, so that’s a pretty interesting development. These displays also feature a full-scene 1-nit eye-care mode, which is compatible with all apps on the device, along with a 3,840 Hz PWM dimming for comfort.

OPPO Find X9 Series launch date

In China, the OPPO Find X9 series is officially making its debut on October 15. And like I mentioned at the very beginning, these phones will be launching globally as well, as confirmed by OPPO’s Chief Product Officer, Pete Lau himself.

Realme Mobile Price in Nepal [Updated 2025]

Here, you can find the list of all the latest Realme mobile phones officially available in Nepal, along with the complete specifications, key features, official price, and availability.

Realme: Brand Overview

Realme started out as a sub-brand of Oppo to rival Xiaomi’s Redmi in the South Asian market. However, it is now one of the fastest-growing smartphone brands in the world. The company has a presence in the Nepali market as well.

Realme phones are loved by their consumer because of their high-end specs at a low cost. With the tagline “Dare to Leap,” Realme phones primarily focus on youths, while its newer offerings are presented as great options for different demographics. Similarly, the company is also an early adopter in the smartphone industry, bringing new exciting features to its budget and mid-range phones.

In 2020, Realme also entered the accessories segment by launching its power banks, wireless TWS earphones, and fitness bands. In addition, the company also launched Smart TVs, Smartwatches, and other IoT products in May 2020.

Meanwhile, also check out all the prices and specs of Realme products here

Realme in Nepal

Realme has been officially present in Nepal for some years now. It entered the market in 2019 with Jagadamba Mobiles Pvt. Ltd., serving as the national distributor (ND). However, Realme later appointed Pashupati Tradeline Pvt. Ltd as its new ND. The company has launched many products, including smartphones, smartwatches, and other AIoT products, until now.

However, Realme Nepal consistently took the heat from the domestic smartphone market for its extravagant pricing policies. Realme phones were significantly overpriced in Nepal compared to neighboring markets like India and China. This prompted Realme India to look after the company’s operation in Nepal.

A new beginning for Realme Mobile

Realme re-entered the Nepali market in August 2021 with Shanker Group as the new official distributor. Shanker Group is not new to such ventures, having managed over 30 companies across 14 sectors.

With Shanker Group, Realme Nepal plans to make the pricing more competitive and use it to penetrate further into the Nepali market.

Initially, Shanker Group brought four smartphones. Some of these were already available in the Nepali market, but their prices have been revised. We will have to wait a little longer for the Narzo and GT lineup to launch in Nepal. With that out of the way, let’s look at all the Realme phones you can buy in Nepal, along with their specs and official price.

Realme Easy EMI

With EMI options being popular in Nepal, Realme has also brought the Realme Easy EMI offer. You can buy a Realme phone on a 12-month EMI with a 40% down payment and 0% down payment.

Under the hood, it is powered by Unisoc T612 processor, built on a 12nm process. Memory-wise, there is a sole 4/64GB trim available in Nepal at the moment. In terms of optics, you get a modest 8MP primary unit and 5MP selfie camera. Lastly, fueling the Relame Note 60x is a 5000mAh battery with 10W charging support.

Realme C71

This thing runs on a Unisoc T7250 processor (which is actually just a rebranded T612), paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Design-wise, you’re getting this feather-textured back panel that actually looks decent for a budget phone, plus it has MIL-STD-810H certification for durability. The 6.67-inch display pushes HD+ resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is pretty good considering the price point.

Camera setup is nothing fancy — 50MP main shooter with some AI lenses, and a 5MP front camera for selfies. But here’s the thing: that 6300mAh battery with 45W fast charging is where this phone might actually make sense. It runs Android 15 with Realme UI 6.0 on top, supports 4G connectivity, and comes in at NPR 15,999 for the 4GB/128GB variant. Honestly, for someone who just needs a phone that lasts forever and doesn’t mind average performance, the C71 could work — but don’t expect gaming miracles from that old Unisoc chip.

In terms of display, there is a 6.74-inch LCD panel with an HD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and 180Hz touch sampling rate. Under the hood, the phone is powered by a UNISOC T612 4G processor built on a 12nm process. We can expect a basic day-to-day performance with this chipset.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 10 (2025) launched in Nepal with lastest NVIDIA’s 50 Series GPU

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 10 16IAX10 (2025) just hit the Nepali market. In Nepal, the laptop is officially distributed by Nagmani International Pvt. Ltd., Lenovo’s authorized distributor, ensuring genuine products with proper warranty and after-sales support. So, let’s discuss the specs, features, price, and availability of the Legion 5 Pro series 2025 in Nepal.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5i 16IAX10 (2025) Series Overview

Design and Display

The new Legion Pro 5 series doesn’t feature a complete re-design of the outer chassis unlike the Legion Pro 7i which has a full-width exhaust at its tail and moves ports to the sides. It’s got a similar look to its predecessor with ports distributed on the sides as well as the back. The Legion is only going to be available in a single ‘Eclipse Black’ color option.

The display does get a massive upgrade though. For the first time ever, you can equip the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (Gen 10) with an OLED screen. It goes up to a 16” WQXGA screen with up to 240Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of brightness, and less than 0.5 ms of response time. The OLED is a super choice for gamers due to its deeper contrast, and ultrafast response times while the high brightness and vibrant colors will make for a gorgeous media experience.

Legion Pro 5 (AMD) and Legion Pro 5i (Intel) Gen 10

As you might have guessed, we see new AMD and Intel processors on the Legion 5 Pros. On the red team, you get up to a Ryzen 9 9955HX but not the X3D version. I suppose Lenovo is saving the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D for its Legion Pro 7 Gen 10 but there are no words on that yet.

On the Intel side, it goes up to the Core Ultra 9 275HX Arrow Lake processor with 24 cores and threads with a boost clock of 5.4 GHz. Here too, Lenovo seems to be skipping out on the top-of-the-line Ultra 9 285HX but it’s a more reasonable choice since the two only differ by slightly different clock speeds.

For running games and graphically demanding applications, the Legion Pros ship with NVIDIA’s 50 series Maxwell GPUs with options up to the RTX 5070 on the Pro 7 and the RTX 5070 Ti on the Pro 7i. The latter has 50% more VRAM and can operate at up to 140W. There’s also Lenovo’s AI engine with its LA1 and LA3 chips that optimize settings in real time to achieve optimal performance. It’s all kept cool by Lenovo’s Coldfront Hyper tech which we saw perform pretty well in the last-gen Pros as well.

Memory and Connectivity

Just like previous generations, there are 2 SO-DIMM slots for your DDR5 sticks but now you can get up to 32GB of fast 6400 RAM. The SSD speed and configurations remain the same though at up to 2TB PCIe Gen 4 via the dual M.2 slots in the board. As for the ports, there’s an HDMI 2.1 and power connector at the back, with the dual type-C, triple type-A, ethernet, privacy switch, and audio jack on the sides. This year we also get to see the upgrade to faster WiFi 7 alongside Bluetooth 5.4.

Also Read:

The Legion Pro 5 and Pro 5i (2025) both house 80Wh batteries but the Intel version is fed more power with its 300W brick while the Pro 5 gets a smaller 245W charger. The keyboard gets slight upgrades with slightly more travel (1.6mm vs 1.5mm) and granular RGB control (24-zone vs 4-zone previously).

Vivo Y50i launched with almost the exact same specs as Y50 5G and Y50m

Behold the Vivo Y50i, the third entry in the Y50 lineup, which includes Y50 5G and Y50m. But the only thing different between the Y50i and its siblings is in terms of the charging speed. So in this article, we will take a closer look at the new Vivo Y50i, including its features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal.

Vivo Y50i Overview

Design and display

Starting with the design, the Y50i features a clean look like most budget Vivo phones we’ve seen recently. It has a light ring at the back for notifications, while the Y50i has a fairly tough build since it has also received the SGS five-star drop certification.

Vivo has also secured an IP64 rating for this phone, while it’s available in three colors: “Diamond Black”, “Azure”, and “Platinum”.

As for the display, the Vivo Y50i has a 6.74-inch LCD panel with a standard HD+ resolution. It has a 90Hz refresh rate, 1,000 nits of peak brightness, 70% of NTSC color gamut, and also DC dimming support.

Performance and camera

Like the rest of the Y50 gang, the Vivo Y50i is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 as well. This chipset is paired with 6 gigs of LPDDR4X RAM and 128 gigs of eMMC 5.1 internal storage. Additionally, the device boots on OriginOS 5, based on Android 15.

The Vivo Y50i has a 13MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie shooter. Both of them are capable of shooting 1080p videos.

Same battery, slower charging speed

The Y50i has the same 6,000 mAh battery as other phones in this lineup, although it charges slower at just 15W. Compared to 44W on the Vivo Y50 5G and Y50m. But the funny thing is that Vivo is still providing a 44W charger in its box.

Other than that, the Vivo Y50i comes with dual SIM 5G support and a Bluetooth 5.4 connection. We also get GPS navigation along with NFC and an IR blaster. While ports include the normal USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Battery: 6000mAh with 15W charging (44W power adapter provided)

Vivo Y50i Price in Nepal and Availability

For now, the Vivo Y50i is exclusive to China, where it costs CNY 1,499 (~USD 210 / INR 18,600) for the sole 6/128GB variant. We doubt this phone will see the light of day here in Nepal, but if it does, we expect the price of the Vivo Y50i to be around NPR 32,999.

Display and Design

The Realme Watch 5 features a 1.97-inch rectangular AMOLED display with a resolution of 390×450 pixels. This screen has a 60Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 600 nits.

Xiaomi’s new midrange tablet has flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite processor

Alongside the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, Xiaomi also launched its latest midrange tablets. The Xiaomi Pad 8 and Pad 8 Pro. This mid-range tablet has Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and it’s launching in the global market as well. So let’s explore what this tablet has to offer, alongside the expected price of the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro in Nepal.

Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Overview

Elegant design and a fast display

The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro looks simple in its own way. The tablet is thin at just 5.75 – 5.8 mm, while weighing between 485 and 494 grams depending on the model. Since, like the regular Xiaomi Pad 8, the Pro version also gets an optional “Nano Texture” display that can cut reflections by 70%.

The Pad 8 Pro doesn’t have any sort of IP rating, but it does come in a couple of interesting color options like Gray, Blue, and Green.

Unfortunately, Xiaomi didn’t bring any upgrades to the display this time. We are seeing the same 11.2-inch LCD panel, which can go up to 144Hz. It also has 12-bit colors, 800 nits of peak brightness, 360Hz touch sampling rate, and a 3.2K resolution.

The only new addition here compared to the Xiaomi Pad 7 Pro is that it now supports the HDR Vivid standard, alongside HDR10 and Dolby Vision.

Upgraded chip

As for performance, the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro is powered by a flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Which was only recently succeeded by 8 Elite Gen 5, by the way. And although it is now Qualcomm’s second-most powerful mobile chip, it’s still a massive performance leap over Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 on the Pad 7 Pro.

With something like 78% better CPU and 105% better GPU performance according to Xiaomi.

Additionally, this has been paired with either 8GB of LPDDR5X RAM (8533 Mbps) or 12/16GB of faster LPDDR5T RAM (9600 Mbps). Xiaomi has also gone with a slower UFS 3.1 storage on the base 128GB model, compared to UFS 4.1 on the 256GB and 512GB models.

And in terms of software, the Pad 8 Pro runs on HyperOS 3 on top of Android 16. With some interesting features like XiaoAi for various AI workloads, cross-device functionality with iPhones and iPads, and all the usual multitasking features like split-screen and dock that we’ve seen on HyperOS before.

A bigger battery, but the same cameras

Like performance, the Pad 8 Pro also earns a battery upgrade to a 9,200 mAh cell (versus 8,850 mAh on its predecessor). The charging speed remains the same at 67W, although it does support 22.5W reverse wired charging now.

Interestingly enough, Xiaomi hasn’t made any changes in the camera department here. It still has a 50MP f/1.8 camera at the back and a 32MP f/2.2 front camera in a horizontal layout as the Pad 7 Pro.

Rest of the features

The Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro houses four speakers with Dolby Atmos audio. They even support adaptive audio to ensure a consistent listening experience depending on how far you are from the tablet.

In terms of accessories, you can pair this tablet with the Xiaomi Focus Stylus Pro and the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Floating Keyboard. Whereas it has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and an IR blaster as well.

Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Specifications:

Design, build: 251.22 x 173.42 x 5.75 – 5.8 mm, 485 – 494 gm
Display: 11.2-inch IPS LCD screen, 3.2K, 144Hz refresh rate
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm mobile platform)
Memory: 8/12/16GB RAM, 128/256/512GB storage (non-expandable)
Software & UI: HyperOS 3 on top of Android 16

Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro Price in Nepal and Availability

In China, the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro starts at CNY 2,799 (~USD 392/ INR 34,799) for the 8/128GB variant, while its Matte Edition with that Nano Texture glass starts at CNY 3,599 (~USD 505 / INR 44,799) for the 12/256GB configuration. And while Xiaomi’s Pro tablets haven’t launched here yet, the Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro could arrive in Nepal at a starting price of NPR 59,999.

Vivo V60 Lite 5G is arriving soon in Nepal with a massive 6,500 mAh battery

Just a few days ago, the Vivo V60 Lite 5G went official in the international market. It’s got a massive 6,500 mAh battery, and we can now confirm that this phone is launching soon in Nepal as well. So let’s take a closer look at the Vivo V60 Lite 5G, including its features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal.

Vivo V60 Lite 5G Overview

Design and display

The V60 Lite 5G shares a similar design to the regular Vivo V60. But unlike the V60’s glass back option, this one features a plastic back only. The handset is also IP65 rated, making it capable of withstanding water splashes. Available in “Titanium Blue”, “Titanium Black”, and “Pop Pink” colors, the V60 Lite 5G is pretty slim at just 7.59mm.

Similarly, it has a 6.77-inch AMOLED panel with an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Vivo has also trimmed down the bezels by quite a bit, resulting in an impressive 94.2% screen-to-body ratio. Other than this, it has 3,000 nits of local peak brightness, whereas Vivo has paired it with a stereo speaker setup.

Performance and camera

As for performance, the Vivo V60 Lite 5G brings MediaTek’s Dimensity 7360-Turbo (4nm) chip inside. Which is a pretty upgrade over Snapdragon 685 on its 4G variant. And this has been paired with 8/12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256/512GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

In terms of software, it runs on Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15, although it should receive OriginOS 6 update as well, since Vivo is replacing Funtouch OS with OriginOS globally.

Getting to the cameras, the Vivo V60 Lite 5G has a 50MP IMX882 sensor at the back and an 8MP ultrawide camera with a 120° field of view. It also has a ring light for portraits, while you get a 32MP selfie camera here.

You may also like:

Battery and the rest

Like I mentioned earlier, both V60 Lite 5G get a massive 6,500 mAh silicon-carbon battery. Vivo says you can expect 27.5 hours of YouTube playback here—or 12 hours of PUBG gameplay—while its 90W fast charging can take the phone from 1 to 100% in just 52 minutes. Other than this, it also supports 6W reverse wired charging.

Other than that, the smartphones come with dual SIM slots, dual-band Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4 support, and an optical in-display fingerprint sensor.

Vivo V60 Lite 5G Specifications:

Design, build: 163.77 x 76.28 x 7.59 mm, 194 gm, IP65 rating
Display: 6.77-inch AMOLED screen, FHD+, 120Hz refresh rate
Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 7360-Turbo (4nm mobile platform)
Memory: 8/12GB LPDDR4X RAM, 256/512GB UFS 3.1 storage (non-expandable)
Software & UI: Funtouch 15 on top of Android 15
Rear Camera: Dual (50MP main, 8MP ultrawide)
Front Camera: 32MP sensor (hole-punch)
Security: Fingerprint sensor (optical in-display)
Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 6 (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.4, GPS / Glonass / Galileo / BeiDou / QZSS, USB-C, 4G LTE, 5G
Sensors: Accelerometer, Ambient light, E-compass, Gyroscope, Proximity
Battery: 6500mAh with 90W charging (90W power adapter provided)

Vivo V60 Lite 5G Price in Nepal and Availability

In the UAE, the Vivo V60 Lite 5G costs AED 1,099 (~USD 299 / INR 26,599) for the 12/256GB variant. Vivo Nepal has already started teasing the launch of the V60 Lite 5G, and we expect its price to be around NPR 45,999.

Vivo is finally replacing Funtouch OS with OriginOS 6 globally

For years, Vivo phones have had two different forks of Android. There was Funtouch OS for the global market, while Vivo phones in China ran on OriginOS instead. Which is arguably the better designed of the two. And now, Vivo has officially confirmed that it is replacing Funtouch OS with OriginOS 6 for Vivo and iQOO phones globally.

Vivo OriginOS 6 to make its global debut

A couple of days ago, Vivo’s CTO Shi Yujian officially confirmed that the company is bringing OriginOS to the global market. Whereas the official X (Twitter) handle of Funtouch OS India recently changed its username to OriginOS as well.

A China-first debut

In China, OriginOS 6 (based on Android 16) will make its debut alongside the Vivo X300 series. Now we’re not sure if the global rollout of OriginOS 6 will be the exact copy of its Chinese version + Google Mobile Services. In any case, we can expect a fresh look and a lot more customization options with OriginOS 6 compared to Funtouch OS.

Vivo has also stated that they have reworked the core system with emphasis on optimization. Similarly, it is expected to come with new AI features like we have seen in the just-released Xiaomi HyperOS 3.

You may also like:

Transparent interface

Other than that, Vivo is clearly taking some inspiration from Apple’s iOS 26 with transparent aesthetics this time. For that, they have used “three-layer shading technology,” enhancing the real-time blur and brightening the colors even more.

Whereas OriginOS 6 will also bring more customization options for the lock screen, alongside a redesigned control center, and smoother animations across the system.

Vivo OriginOS 6 global launch and eligible devices

Vivo will first introduce OriginOS 6 in China on October 10, followed by the global launch on October 15. And we also have the first batch of phones that are scheduled to receive this update. This includes Vivo X Fold5, X200, X200s, X200 Pro, X200 Pro Mini, and X200 Ultra.

While iQOO phones like the iQOO 13, Neo 10, Neo 10 Pro, and Neo 10 Pro+ will also receive OriginOS 6 update. We expect the complete list of all Vivo and iQOO phones that will receive the OriginOS 6 update to arrive shortly.

Apple iPhone Price in Nepal 2025 [Updated]

Are you thinking of buying an iPhone in Nepal? You have come to the right place. There are two ways to get Apple’s latest range of iPhones in Nepal. The first is via a grey channel, and the other is from an authorized channel. In this article, we will discuss all the available iPhone models you can buy from an authorized channel in Nepal, along with their specifications and official price.

iPhones in Nepal Overview:

Generation Next Communications Pvt. Ltd. is the sole authorized official distributor of Apple products in Nepal. Apple products include iPad, iMac, MacBooks, and iPhones. The company has different lineups of iPhones in Nepal with different variants to fit the interests of different types of customers.

Also, check out the new available iPhone 17 lineups

The older models, iPhone 14 Pro series, iPhone 15 Pro series, and iPhone 16 Pro series are no longer available in Nepal through the authorized channel. However, you might get these older models from the grey channels. Anyway, to know whether the iPhone you bought in Nepal is from an authorized channel or not, you can follow either of the following steps:

Check the Generation Next hologram sticker on the box of your iPhone
Buy your iPhone from Authorised sellers like Oliz Store and EvoStore
Enter the IMEI number on Genxt Nepal’s website
SMS genxt<space>Service Tag number to 34001

Get extended warranty with Shield Pro on the iPhone 17 series

A phone that costs a premium does require some extra care. Otherwise, the repair cost is also on the same (expensive) side. But fear not, if you have purchased the iPhone 17 series from an authorized medium in Nepal, like Oliz Store and EvoStore, you can get an extended warranty service. This is brought to you by Shield Pro. Here’s what you will get:

Front screen replacement – Twice within 2 years
Back panel replacement – Twice within 2 years
Extended warranty – 1 additional year

However, you might need to pay as little as NPR 5,000 as a service charge. But it’s way cheaper than paying the full repair amount. Most importantly, the grey import of iPhones is rising due to MDMS being inactive for the time being.

So, it’s a pretty commendable extended warranty service brought by Genxt, the official distributor of Apple products in Nepal. Also, we always recommend you go for authorized products, and it makes much more sense now.

iPhone Price in Nepal 2025 (Summary)

1. iPhone 17 Pro Max

The new iPhone 17 Pro Max is Apple’s flagship phone for the year. And compared to its predecessor—the iPhone 16 Pro Max—it brings a bunch of meaningful upgrades. Starting with the design itself. The 17 Pro Max has a new “plateau” design that holds most of the internal circuitry at the top of the phone. Not just that, but the iPhone 17 Pro series also moves to an aluminum unibody design and includes a vapor chamber for better heat dissipation.

We love all its fun color options as well, especially the one called “Cosmic Orange”. The iPhone 17 Pro Max has a brighter display (3,000 nits vs 2,000 nits) and second-gen Ceramic Shield glass for tougher protection. Whereas its new A19 Pro chip (paired with up to 2TB of storage for the first time on an iPhone) truly makes it a “Pro” iPhone.

The camera department sees some nice upgrades as well. Apple is now using a 48MP sensor across the board for the main, ultrawide, and telephoto shots, whereas it now upgrades to an 18MP front camera with an interesting “square”-shaped sensor. As a result, you no longer need to rotate the phone’s orientation to take landscape selfies. Plus, the 17 Pro Max has a larger battery and 40W wired charging instead of 25W.

iPhone 17 Pro Max Specifications:

Design, build: 163.4 x 78 x 8.75 mm, 233 gm, IP68 rating
Display: 6.9-inch OLED screen, FHD+, 120Hz refresh rate (LTPO)
Chipset: Apple A19 Pro (3nm mobile platform)

Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 7 (dual-band), Bluetooth 6, GPS / Glonass / Galileo / BeiDou / QZSS / NavIC, USB-C, 4G LTE, 5G

2. iPhone 17 Pro

Moving on, the iPhone 17 Pro is simply a mini-me of its “Pro Max” sibling. It’s got a smaller 6.3-inch display, a smaller 4,252 mAh battery, and no support for 2TB of storage—but besides that—everything is the same between the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Which means if you want the best that Apple has to offer in a relatively compact form factor, you’re gonna love the iPhone 17 Pro.

Although its smaller form factor means that even though this guy also has a vapor chamber, you’re gonna get better thermals on the 17 Pro Max. In terms of software, the entire new iPhone lineup runs on iOS 26 right out of the box with that “Liquid Glass” design. Oh, and one more thing. So while the iPhone 17 Pro models are eSIM-only in some parts of the world, we still get a physical SIM slot.

iPhone 17 Pro Specifications:

Design, build: 150 x 71.9 x 8.75 mm, 206 gm, IP68 rating
Display: 6.3-inch OLED screen, FHD+, 120Hz refresh rate (LTPO)
Chipset: Apple A19 Pro (3nm mobile platform)
Memory: 12GB RAM, 256/512GB/1TB storage (non-expandable)
Software & UI: iOS 26
Rear Camera: Triple (48MP primary, 48MP ultrawide, 48MP telephoto)
Front Camera: 18MP “Center Stage” camera (Dynamic Island)
Security: Face ID (via the front camera)
Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 7 (dual-band), Bluetooth 6, GPS / Glonass / Galileo / BeiDou / QZSS / NavIC, USB-C, 4G LTE, 5G
Sensors: Accelerometer, Barometer, Dual ambient light, Gyroscope, LiDAR, Proximity

3. iPhone Air

To say that the iPhone Air is Apple’s most ambitious phone yet would be a massive understatement. This is the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever made, as it measures just 5.64mm! The iPhone Air is also the 5th slimmest smartphone in the world… but you have to wonder… who is this for? Especially given that it sacrifices so much in pursuit of being thin and light.

Because the iPhone Air only has a 48MP f/1.6 camera at the back, meaning no telephoto shots like on the iPhone 17 Pros (and not even ultrawide shots like the regular iPhone 17). Its battery life is also worse than the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup, although the iPhone Air’s screen time seems to be perfectly adequate for most folks based on the reviews we’ve seen so far.

But despite its slim profile, the iPhone Air is surprisingly durable. Even JerryRigEverything couldn’t snap it in half with his hands, so you know Apple has done something special with its engineering. One of the reasons could be that it still has titanium frames versus aluminum on the iPhone 17 series. And of course, performance shouldn’t be an issue thanks to the A19 Pro chip (with one less GPU core) and a smooth 120Hz display.

iPhone Air Specifications:

Design, build: 156.2 x 74.7 x 5.64 mm, 165 gm, IP68 rating
Display: 6.5-inch OLED screen, FHD+, 120Hz refresh rate (LTPO)
Chipset: Apple A19 Pro (3nm mobile platform)
Memory: 12GB RAM, 256/512GB/1TB storage (non-expandable)
Software & UI: iOS 26
Rear Camera: Single (48MP camera)
Front Camera: 18MP “Center Stage” camera (Dynamic Island)
Security: Face ID (via the front camera)
Connectivity: Dual-SIM (eSIM), WiFi 7 (dual-band), Bluetooth 6, GPS / Glonass / Galileo / BeiDou / QZSS / NavIC, USB-C, 4G LTE, 5G
Sensors: Accelerometer, Barometer, Dual ambient light, Gyroscope, Proximity
Battery: 3,149 mAh with 20W wireless charging (no power adapter in the box)

4. iPhone 17

So while everyone is busy talking about the “plateau” design of the iPhone 17 Pro, or the thinness of the iPhone Air, we think the base iPhone 17 might actually be the best iPhone of the year. Especially for its value. ‘Cause compared to the iPhone 16, it has a nicer display, better cameras, better performance, and better durability. I mean… what more could you possibly want?!

It also starts with 256GB of storage now, although I won’t call it an upgrade since the iPhone 17’s starting price has gone up as well.

But yeah, the iPhone 17 definitely looks like the iPhone to get for most folks. Apple finally blessed its base iPhone with a 120Hz “ProMotion” display this time, finally shutting down the “slow 60Hz” complaint we used to have. Besides, it also enjoys new Ceramic Shield 2 glass that apparently has 3x better scratch resistance compared to the iPhone 16.

The iPhone 17 upgrades to a 48MP dual camera setup at the back as well for sharper ultrawide shots, and it has the same 18MP “Center Stage” front-facing camera as its “Pro” siblings. With the more efficient A19 chip and other optimizations, Apple even rates the iPhone 17’s video playback capacity at 30 hours versus 22 hours on its predecessor.

iPhone 17 Specifications:

Design, build: 149.6 x 71.5 x 7.95 mm, 177 gm, IP68 rating
Display: 6.3-inch OLED screen, FHD+, 120Hz refresh rate (LTPO)
Chipset: Apple A19 (3nm mobile platform)
Memory: 8GB RAM, 256/512GB storage (non-expandable)
Software & UI: iOS 26
Rear Camera: Dual (48MP primary, 48MP ultrawide)
Front Camera: 18MP “Center Stage” camera (Dynamic Island)
Security: Face ID (via the front camera)
Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 7 (dual-band), Bluetooth 6, GPS / Glonass / Galileo / BeiDou / QZSS / NavIC, USB-C, 4G LTE, 5G

Battery: 3,692 mAh with 25W wireless charging (no power adapter in the box)

5. iPhone 16

The iPhone 16 packs a serious punch with its A18 SoC, delivering top-tier performance for everything from gaming to multitasking. You’ve got a stunning 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display that hits a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, making it perfect for outdoor use.

The camera system is also impressive, featuring a 48MP main lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens with autofocus, which significantly improves low-light photography. Plus, with 8GB of RAM and storage options up to 512GB, you’re set for a smooth experience

On the flip side, the iPhone 16 doesn’t come without its drawbacks. The 60Hz display refresh rate is a letdown, especially when many competitors are pushing higher refresh rates for a smoother experience. And let’s not ignore the high price tag in Nepal, which could make potential buyers think twice.

Limited camera upgrades from the iPhone 15 also make it less appealing for those looking for a significant leap in photography capabilities. So, if you’re not all-in on the A18’s performance and AI features, you might be better off snagging the iPhone 15, especially with its expected price drop.

Xiaomi Pad 8 launched with 11.2-inch 144Hz display and Snapdragon 8s Gen 4

Xiaomi launched the Pad 8 alongside the Xiaomi 17 series at Lei Jun’s Annual Speech 2025 in Beijing. This is their latest attempt at the mid-range tablet market, sitting below the more expensive Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro. The regular Pad 8 features many thing similar to the expensive 8 Pro. Now, let’s jump in this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest Xiaomi Pad 8, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Xiaomi Pad 8 Overview

Display and Design

The 11.2-inch LCD display uses a 3200 × 2136 pixel resolution. The tablet features 3:2 aspect ratio instead of 16:10 ratios found in most Android tablets use. You get a 144Hz refresh rate and 800 nits peak brightness with HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HDR Vivid support.

The display gets full DC dimming, whose point is to reduce flicker and eye strain during long usage. There’s also a matte edition available with AG textured coating that cuts reflections by up to 70%. The tablet measures 5.75mm slim and weighs around 485g.

You get three color options – Black, Ice Crystal Blue, and Turquoise Green. The build quality looks solid with what appears to be an aluminum frame, though Xiaomi hasn’t detailed the exact materials used.

Performance

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 sits between mid-range and flagship territory. It’s not the 8 Elite chip that the Pad 8 Pro gets, but the 8s gen 4 is tried chipset that can handle everything thrown at it. RAM options go from 8GB to 12GB with LPDDR5x memory, while storage caps at 256GB using UFS 3.1. The Pro model will get you a faster UFS 4.1 storage and up to 16GB RAM.

The tablet runs Android 16 with HyperOS 3, same as the new phone lineup. Xiaomi’s included PC-grade productivity tools like WPS Office and CAD support as well.

Camera

The camera setup is pretty basic as they come in tablets – 13MP rear and 8MP front cameras. These are clearly cost-cutting measures compared to the Pro’s 50MP rear and 32MP front sensors. But honestly, tablet cameras are usually terrible anyway, so this might not matter unless you’re planning to use it as a giant phone for video calls.

Battery and Charging

The 9,200mAh battery matches the Pro model, which is really impressive for the lower-priced version. However, charging is limited to 45W compared to the Pro’s 67W. Xiaomi hasn’t released specific battery life estimates, but 9,200mAh in a tablet should easily last a full day of heavy use or multiple days of light usage.

Audio and Input

Quad speakers with Dolby Atmos are also here and it should provide decent audio for media consumption. Four microphones suggest good call quality and voice recognition performance. The side-mounted fingerprint scanner doubles as the power button. You also get support for the Xiaomi Focus Touch Pen Pro and magnetic keyboard, though these are sold separately.

Connectivity features are standard as they come with WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and an IR blaster as well. Meanwhile, Xiaomi also added a flicker sensor and color-temperature sensor.
