So this is the new ROG Strix G16 (2025) from Asus that I have in for review today, and it’s one of the best gaming laptops I’ve ever used. I’m not even kidding! I was waiting so long to test next-gen machines with NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series GPUs — and man — the Strix G16 didn’t disappoint at all.
Well… I did come across a few issues with this guy that you’ll definitely want to know before spending all your money ‘cause the Strix G16 certainly isn’t cheap. Trust me.
The one I’ve been testing has an RTX 5070 Ti GPU, Intel’s Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and 1TB of Gen4 SSD. And a…ll this is gonna cost you exactly NPR 416,900 in Nepal. So before you spend all your money on this beast, I highly suggest you check out my review till the very end. But first, let’s take a brief look at what it’s packing.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) review: Specifications
Dimensions, Weight: 13.94 x 10.55 x 0.90 – 1.21 inches (W x D x H), 2.65 kg
Okay, so I’ll talk about all the things I don’t like about this laptop in just a minute — but as always — I wanna start with the positives. And some of you might find it a little hard to believe, but one of the most impressive things about this year’s Strix G16 is actually the design.
So it’s got the usual stuff like a premium build in this not-so-inspiring colorway, right?
This lid here is made of aluminum while the rest of the chassis is all-plastic to keep the weight down. Which definitely makes sense since the G16 is already pretty heavy at 2.65 kg! And despite the metal/plastic hybrid build, I found everything to be perfectly sturdy here. From the hinge to the keyboard deck… everything.
So like I said… it’s the usual stuff. But flip this thing over and that’s where the real magic is.
‘Cause Asus has completely redesigned the Strix G16 this year to make it the most upgrade-friendly laptop I’ve laid my hands on yet. Easily.
I don’t need to worry about different types of tiny screw heads or misplacing them since all I gotta do is slide the tab to the left and lift it open. That is literally all I need to do to access the RAM, the SSD, and even the three fans of this laptop.
The M.2 slots for storage and the SO-DIMM slots for the memory also use that “Q-latch” system we first saw on Asus motherboards… which means I don’t even need any external tool in case I wanna make any upgrade.
It’s so easy, it’s so cool, I absolutely love it!
Thunderbolt 5, baby!
What makes the Strix G16’s design even cooler for me is that this is also the very first laptop I’ve used with a couple of next-gen Thunderbolt 5 ports alongside everything else! Yeah, not Thunderbolt 4 but Thunderbolt 5.

Up to 100W
With twice the data transfer speed, much better support for external monitors, and up to 240W of power delivery… just to name a few. Of course, the entire “Thunderbolt 5 ecosystem” is very much in its infancy right now, but at least the Strix G16 is future-proof on that front.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) - Ports
1 of 2
1x power input, 1x 2.5G LAN, 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 2x Thunderbolt 5 (USB-C)
2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
The only thing I wish Asus had done differently is put some of these ports — like the one for power and the two-and-a-half gigs ethernet connection — at the back for a cleaner cable management. But I guess since this Strix G16 no longer has exhaust vents on the sides like last year’s model, the back of the laptop had to be all about letting the warm air out.
Display
16-inch “ROG Nebula” WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS panel
100% DCI-P3 colors, 500 nits brightness
240Hz refresh rate, G-SYNC, Advanced Optimus
Alright.
So just like the design, I love this display as well. It sucks that Asus is still reserving “OLED” gaming for its more expensive “Zephyrus” and “SCAR” lineup but man… this is — excuse me — a damn fine IPS display. It’s sharp, it’s smooth, it’s bright, and it’s perfectly color-accurate.
I mean, what else do I need to say about it?
You’re looking at a giant 16” IPS panel with a 2.5K resolution, a buttery 240Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 colors, and 500 nits of maximum brightness. Although my unit of the Strix G16 actually peaked at 555 nits at 100% brightness, so that’s all the more impressive!
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) - Display
1 of 2
Color gamut
Brightness
I also love this nice matte coating to get rid of light reflections around me, which could’ve been rather distracting. So doesn’t matter if I’m gaming, doing some color-sensitive work like photo and video editing, or just handling some casual business, the Strix G16’s display is totally a “one-size-fits-all” thing.
But I must tell you that I had to do quite a bit of “diagnosing” to get it working just right.
It’s never Lupus.
So the thing is, auto-brightness is something I always disable on any laptop I use. But instead of the “Intel Graphics Command Center” app where this setting usually hides, it turns out Asus has overridden that with its own setting inside the “Armoury Crate” app.
What’s worse is that my unit of the Strix G16 simply wasn’t as vibrant by default.
The colors looked visibly washed out, and when I measured it, I was right! This guy was only carrying 75% of the DCI-P3 gamut versus 100% as Asus promised.
Color gamut (before “diagnosis”)
And after a lot of Google searches looking up potential solutions on different forums, it turns out I needed to replace that Intel app I talked about earlier with a newer “Intel Graphics Software”. Then I had to update the display driver and also disable the “auto color management” feature from system settings.
Keyboard
Full-size chiclet keyboard, no Numpad
Per-key RGB backlight
I didn’t have that many problems with its keyboard though.
Maybe Asus could’ve added a little more contrast to the key engravings — at least for the Function keys — since they’re quite hard to read. The right Shift key is also smaller than I’m used to, and I’m sure some of you are already clenching your fist for the lack of a numpad on a 16-inch laptop as well.
But in spite of all those things, I have totally loved typing here. ‘Cause coming from my MacBook’s short 1mm travel keys, the Strix G16’s keys have double the travel distance. Which means you really feel the keys register for that satisfying feel. This is also among the quietest keyboards I’ve used, and of course, it’s got per-key RGB lighting that I can customize so easily from the “Aura Creator” app.
It’s not just the individual keys either. The Strix G16 even brings an RGB lightbar that covers the entire bottom chassis for a glorious, glorious lightshow.
Okay, with all that out of the way, let me now talk about its performance.
So, to recap what I said earlier in this review, the Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) ships with Intel’s latest “Arrow Lake-HX” processor: the Core Ultra 9 275HX. There is technically a slightly more powerful mobile CPU in Intel’s lineup, but the only difference between these two is 100 MHz of clock speed so… I don’t really mind calling it a flagship processor.
Upgrades, upgrades, everywhere.
And compared to last year’s Core i9-14900HX, it has a healthy 20% upgrade in terms of multi-core performance.
Whereas your GPU options here range from the budget RTX 5060 all the way to RTX 5080. The one I’ve been testing has RTX 5070 Ti, and you know what?
It might just be the GPU you should be considering if you really wanna see that generational upgrade in the RTX 50 series GPUs. Or the more expensive ones if money’s no object. I say so because just like on the older RTX 40 lineup, the performance of RTX 5060 and RTX 5070 mobile GPUs don’t really scale that much beyond 100W.
Which is totally not a problem for the 5070 Ti, by the way.
The Strix G16’s RTX 5070 Ti has a total 140W TGP (including 25W from Dynamic Boost) — and in all the benchmarks I ran or the games I tested — it had no problem sipping 140W of power when needed.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) - Power consumption
1 of 2
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra
Cyberpunk 2077
And unlike the lower-tier RTX 50 series GPUs with just 8 gigs of VRAM, the 5070 Ti also has 12GB of VRAM… so you can really game at higher resolution with smooth fps and good visual fidelity.
And when I played a bunch of games at native 1600p resolution at the highest settings I could find, almost all of them ran without any sort of “out of video memory” error. I was originally planning on testing them at 1440p as well, but since most modern laptops have a taller 16:10 display, I thought this should be standard from now on.
One more thing.
I also disabled the MUX switch on this thing since I was getting frequent stutters in some of the games. While I even had some creative apps like Premiere Pro crash on me when disabling the integrated graphics using the MUX switch.
Alright.
So the first game I played was Cyberpunk 2077. And with both graphics and ray tracing set to “Ultra”, I was getting 32 fps on average with a 1% low of 22 fps. Not bad for a “70” series GPU, but you probably already know that the RTX 50 series has a special trick called “DLSS 4” to make the gameplay feel a whole lot smoother and responsive.
Especially with something called “Multi Frame Generation” that uses AI to generate up to three additional frames for each real frame the GPU renders.
It doesn’t work with all games — but on the games that do support DLSS 4 — it can be a literal game-changer. Since I went from just 32 fps average to 114 fps with multi frame generation set to 2x on Cyberpunk 2077. Or a ridiculous 175 fps at the 4x option. Now, cranking up the multi frame gen settings can result in some graphical artifacts, but… this is pretty cool.
But what about input delay?
Next up, I played Marvel Rivals.
This one also supports multi frame generation, which means I went from just 60 fps average to an impressive 220 fps with a simple click of a button.
I was kinda worried about input latency here since adding artificial frames in between the real ones can add a lot of input delay. Plus, unlike Cyberpunk, it’s also a pretty fast-paced game… so you would totally feel the increased latency if it existed. But I must say I honestly never noticed any sort of input delay. I had a couple of my colleagues try it out as well, and they said they had a similar experience too.
And other than these two, I played Forza Horizon 5, Counter-Strike 2, and GTA V… all of which managed an easy 100+ fps with just pure. rasterized. rendering.
Control was the only game that felt a little too much to handle for the RTX 5070 Ti at “Ultra” settings. With a near 30 fps on average. Although after I lowered the render resolution to just 800p and then used DLSS to upscale the image, I was getting a much more playable 70 fps average.
So cool!
Besides excellent gaming results, I’m equally impressed by the Strix G16’s thermals. Because no matter what game it was, the keyboard deck itself felt perfectly cool to touch. Never hitting beyond 36 – 37ºC near the “WASD” and the arrow key area.
And even at its max fan speed, the Strix G16 only ever got as loud as 47 dB. I have seen gaming laptops with far louder fan noise (at 50+ decibels) with far worse thermals, so… this is just spectacular!
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) - CPU, GPU temperature
1 of 2
Cyberpunk 2077
100% CPU, GPU load
I was also taking a close look at the CPU and GPU temperatures when I was gaming — and although that Intel chip would easily climb to 90ºC and beyond — the GPU remained significantly cooler at around 70ºC only.
This was a trend I noticed when using creative apps as well. There was definitely no performance throttling — and everything from working with 4K video projects with multiple layers on Premiere Pro to working with 3D animation on Blender went as smoothly as I expected them to — but that’s something you need to know about anyway.
What’s not so great about the Strix G16?
Okay.
So far… I’ve talked about the Strix G16’s design that I love, its display that I love, its keyboards that I love, and its performance that I love even more. And as you might have already guessed, I’m not that fond of the rest of the stuff.
Trackpad
Glass trackpad with Windows Precision drivers
Like it trackpad, for example. I mean, it has all the right ingredients for a great trackpad, but it just doesn’t act like one for me. It’s spacious, it’s glass-topped, but I don’t know man… there’s like a 30% chance it accidentally decides to select text or drag something off the screen when I’m simply trying to scroll through a page.
Webcam and speakers
FHD (1080p) IR camera (no physical privacy shutter)
4-speaker system (2 tweeters + 2 woofers)
I also found that the Strix G16 pretty much has a potato for a webcam. It does support Windows Hello face login but… the video itself looks so grainy and so lacking in detail that I’d rather use my phone as a webcam in case of any important online meetings.
And for a big 16-inch laptop, its speakers and battery life aren’t that great either. Yes… its downfiring speakers get quite loud, but it sounds a little too thin with not a lot of bass for me to actually enjoy the music.
Battery
90Wh battery, 280W AC adapter
Whereas I can’t call 3.5 – 4 hours of battery life that great either. I know that’s pretty in line with what you get with most gaming laptops with an Intel CPU… but yeah.
Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) review: Conclusion
Alright… I guess I’d better wrap it up now.
So, despite all its minor flaws, I think Asus has absolutely nailed it with ROG Strix G16 (2025). The flashy redesign paired with fiercely powerful new chips means there are just so many things to love about this guy. And if you’re looking for a powerful gaming/content creation laptop that will age gracefully over the years, the Strix G16 definitely looks like one of your top choices at around NPR 4 lakhs.
Yes, I completely agree that Asus could’ve done a better job in terms of the price. Considering there are other RTX 5070 Ti laptops in Nepal at a lower price, like the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 AI (2025). But the Strix G16 does have its own charm with a superior design, Thunderbolt 5 connectivity, nicer RGB, and slightly better thermals, to name a few.
Our video review of Asus ROG Strix G16 (2025) is coming up pretty soon

Oppo Reno14 F Price in Nepal and Availability
As of now, the Oppo Reno14 F has not been officially priced or launched in Nepal. We’ll update this space once Oppo makes an announcement.
vivo has unveiled its latest foldable — the X Fold5 — in China. It brings an improved hinge, bigger battery, and some major durability upgrades. The X Fold5 follows last year’s X Fold3, and now features a slimmer body and higher brightness displays, along with a triple 50MP Zeiss camera setup. This article will discuss everything about the latest Vivo X Fold5, including its specifications, features, and availability.

Display and Design
The phone features a 6.53-inch outer screen and an 8.03-inch inner LTPO OLED panel, both supporting 120Hz refresh rate. Brightness peaks at 4,500 nits, and the display includes Zeiss Master Color tuning. The panels are protected with 2nd-gen Armor Glass. The vivo X Fold5 comes in Titanium, White, and Pine Green finishes.
Build and Form Factor
The hinge uses high-strength steel and carbon fiber. There are three variants — the Titanium model is the thinnest and lightest, measuring 4.3mm unfolded and 9.2mm folded, weighing just 217g. The White and Pine Green models are slightly heavier at 226g.

So whenever someone asks me to recommend a nice, affordable smartwatch that’s good at health and fitness tracking, I’ve always tried to nudge them towards a budget fitness band instead.
Yes, there have been a few exceptions lately — like the new Redmi Watch Move (review) — but for me, the Venn diagram of “reliable fitness tracker” and “budget smartwatch” has always been a disjoint set.
And even though there aren’t that many fitness bands to shop from these days, the good news is that you can still find some solid options in the market right now.
They’re both available for less than NPR 8,000 in Nepal, and they’re both excellent fitness trackers. But which one’s best for you? Don’t worry, I can definitely help you answer that question since I’ve been testing these two side by side for over a week now.
I’ve been tracking all sorts of workouts with them, wearing them to sleep, staying on top of my notifications… you get the idea.
And after all this time, the one interesting thing I found with the Galaxy Fit 3 and the Huawei Band 10 is that although they have a lot of things in common, I actually think they’re suitable for completely different sets of users.
I’ll explain exactly what I mean throughout this review, but first, I wanna talk about the design of the Huawei Band 10 and the Galaxy Fit 3. Which shouldn’t take long because there isn’t much to talk about how they look. The Huawei Band 10 has a slightly slimmer design with that classic fitness band aesthetics… while Samsung chose a more modern style with the Fit 3.
But other than that, they’re mostly similar.

I also love how Samsung and Huawei weren’t chasing “form over function” ‘cause both of them still carry a physical button for easy navigation. I’ve used a bunch of wearables with just touch controls and they’re just… super frustrating to get around. So thank God!
Oh, and I can even customize what app or shortcut I want to launch by double-pressing the button on the Galaxy Fit 3, by the way. Which is missing on the Huawei band.
I didn’t have any problem with their comfort either.
I was basically wearing these two 24/7 and I never felt the urge to take ‘em off due to any sort of discomfort or skin irritation. The bands themselves are super lightweight, the straps feel just as cozy — and thanks to 5 ATM water resistance — I never had to worry about water damage either. I should tell you that the Galaxy Fit 3 is also completely sealed against dust because of its IP68 rating… although I think Huawei simply skipped that one to save some money.
‘Cause you know… you gotta pay to get officially IP certified.
And one more thing. So while both these fitness bands have an aluminum case with a cold, metal feel, that’s actually an optional upgrade with the Huawei Band 10. Which means its base variant still has the same old plastic case. I really, really doubt this is gonna be a dealbreaker to anyone but I felt like you should know about it anyway.
Display
1.47-inch AMOLED panel
194 x 368 pixels, 282 PPI pixel density
So yeah… I don’t think there is one clear winner between these two in terms of design. But the Galaxy Fit 3’s display is clearly better compared to the Huawei Band 10 for two important reasons:
First off, it’s got a larger display itself. At 1.6-inch versus Huawei band’s 1.47-inch.
That means all the texts, the animations, and pretty much every other UI element look so much nicer on the Fit 3. Whereas on the Huawei band, you’ll often notice how certain components of the UI can feel a bit… crammed. Or even hard to read.

And unlike the Huawei Band 10, the Galaxy Fit 3 also has a smooth 60Hz refresh rate.
This was the one upgrade I was desperately hoping Huawei would bring to its latest fitness band… but nope. The Band 10 still feels somewhat stuttery every once in a while.
Don’t get me wrong. They both have a nice AMOLED display that gets… sufficiently bright outdoors for budget fitness bands, there’s also always-on display and auto-brightness support, but yeah. A larger display + a smoother 60Hz refresh rate means I’m picking the Galaxy Fit 3’s display over the Huawei Band 10 any day of the week.
I guess the only complaint I have with it is that the choice of watch faces here is just… not that good. At least for my taste. I’m sure some of you will disagree with me on this one but “cheaply designed” is the one thought that keeps ringing in my head whenever I look at any one of Samsung’s watch faces for the Galaxy Fit 3.
Software
HarmonyOS 5.0
Compatible with both Android and iOS
Now, before I get into all the juicy details about how their health and fitness tracking is, I wanna briefly talk about the software experience on the Galaxy Fit 3 and the Huawei Band 10.
And what you need to know is that the basic layout of UI is almost the exact same on these two. There’s a quick settings panel, an app drawer, a separate compartment for all the incoming notifications, and a widget-based UI on the homescreen to quickly access different apps or shortcuts. Pretty standard stuff, right?
What’s interesting is that while the Huawei Band 10 runs on a custom HarmonyOS 5 platform, Samsung went with “FreeRTOS” for the Fit 3. You might be thinking that Samsung’s software experience sucks since it’s running on the same software platform as most other budget smartwatches… but think again. ‘Cause compared to the Huawei band, I actually found the Fit 3’s software experience to be richer and more refined too.
Let me give you an example.
So the Band 10 only lets me add up to 5 widgets versus up to 12 on the Fit 3. That means instead of opening up the app drawer and scrolling down to the app I wanna open every single time, I can simply swipe to its widget more easily on the Galaxy Fit 3.
It can even decode emojis on my notifications, I can also block notifications right from the band — and I know what I’m about to say is gonna sound like such a small thing but man — I absolutely love how the Fit 3 loads the album art of the song I’m playing as well.
So like I mentioned at the very beginning, both the Galaxy Fit 3 and the Huawei Band 10 are excellent fitness trackers. They can log over 100 sports modes and they support everything from all-day heart rate and stress monitoring to sleep tracking. And also women’s health tracking.
The Band 10 is even capable of keeping score of my emotional wellbeing, by the way. Or my SpO2 levels throughout the day… unlike how the Galaxy Fit 3 can only continuously read my blood oxygen levels when I go to bed.
I guess this move does make sense since you need to stay incredibly still to get a proper SpO2 reading and that’s obviously not possible all day long.
And on the Huawei band itself, I’ve seen it fail to properly record my SpO2 levels all day… even though I was wearing it the entire time.
The good news is that I found the heart rate and SpO2 readings from both of them to be quite accurate. And also incredibly similar. Whether I was just sitting still, taking a casual walk outdoors, or when I was working out, the Galaxy Fit 3 and the Huawei Band 10’s data really aren’t that far apart. As you can clearly see from these screenshots.

I was also super impressed with how similarly these two logged my heart rate zones in different kinds of workouts… but did you notice anything strange in all the screenshots I just showed?
No? Take a look at their calorie numbers once.
‘Cause no matter what type of workout it was, the Galaxy Fit 3 and the Huawei Band 10 recorded wildly different numbers of calories I burned. With the Fit 3 often exceeding Huawei’s numbers by 40 – 50% on average.
So… which one should I trust, you ask? It’s the Huawei Band 10. Oh most definitely.
Huawei Band 10
Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro
Galaxy Fit 3
Galaxy Watch 4 Classic
I say so because I’ve recorded the exact same workout routine on Huawei’s more expensive Watch Fit 4 series — and even on Samsung’s more expensive Galaxy Watches — and both their numbers are much closer to the Band 10 than they are to the Fit 3. Which means if you’re trying to lose weight and are keeping track of active calories during workouts, the Huawei Band 10 is gonna give you much more dependable data.
And man… the way this thing motivates me to stay active is something else as well.
So there’s the basic activity ring, right?
Which takes things like my active calories, exercise duration, and how often I stand into consideration to paint a picture of my daily fitness. The Galaxy Fit 3 also has a similar feature, but the Band 10 goes a step further with something called “Health Clovers”. And that thing considers my stress levels, how much water I drink, how much I smile? (…what?) and even my sleep habits to help me stay healthy.
Huawei Band 10
Galaxy Fit 3
That reminds me. I found the Band 10’s sleep tracking to be slightly more reliable too. ‘Cause the Galaxy Fit 3 would often get the time I went to bed and the time I got up wrong by a few minutes. Not just that but the Huawei Band 10 is simply more in-depth with my sleep data since it also measures my heart rate variability — aka HRV — throughout the night.
The Huawei Band 10 gets more in-depth with my sleep data.
In case you didn’t know, HRV is basically the time interval between each heartbeat. And it can be a pretty good indicator of your sleep quality and also your overall physical health. So… kudos to Huawei for bringing such an important feature to a budget fitness band.
The only thing I found weirdly missing on the Band 10 is that it doesn’t have an “auto-pause” feature for workouts. It’s not there on the band, not on the app… I checked. More than once. I do get a prompt to pause or end the workout if I’m staying still for too long — but unlike the Fit 3 — it can’t automatically stop recording the workout.
So yeah… I guess it’s pretty clear that the Huawei Band 10 is the superior fitness tracker of the two. Especially to fitness enthusiasts or just about anybody who is serious about staying on top of their health. The Galaxy Fit 3 is a perfectly fine fitness band for most folks, but the Huawei Band 10 has that… X factor, you know?
How’s the app?
And this is something you’re gonna notice with their respective apps as well.
They’re both well-designed and all… but the Huawei Health app is just… so much more informative than Samsung Health. Almost to the point where it can feel like “information vomit” to those who just wanna check their basic health data.
Battery life
208 mAh battery
Up to 14 days of maximum use
Finally, let’s talk about battery life.
So both Samsung and Huawei claim that their latest fitness bands can last up to two weeks… but I knew I was never gonna clock in those numbers once I had them keeping track of all my health data as frequently as they could.
With the Galaxy Fit 3 managing to go exactly a week before giving up, while the Huawei Band 10 lasted me a little over 9 days before I finally needed to plug it in. It also fills up much faster — hitting 100% in like 45 minutes — versus how the Fit 3 takes nearly half an hour more to get the job done.
Huawei Band 10 review: Conclusion
Alright, I think now’s as good time as any to wrap up this review of Huawei Band 10 and Samsung’s Galaxy Fit 3. And for what it’s worth, I’m super impressed with both of them. They are both excellent fitness bands that I can comfortably recommend getting over most budget smartwatches in the market right now.

And if I were to summarize all my findings into a little table, here’s how it ends up looking.
In terms of their design, I can’t say one is necessarily better than the other. It’s a tie.
The Fit 3 clearly wins when it comes to the display and the software experience.
Whereas the Band 10 has better battery life and better health and fitness tracking features compared to the Fit 3.
So in the end, it’s pretty clear.
If you’re not that serious about keeping track of your health and fitness routines, the Galaxy Fit 3 is a great fit for you. Pun intended. But for fitness enthusiasts and everyone else, you simply can’t go wrong with the Huawei Band 10. At least not for some NPR 7,000 in Nepal.
