JBL’s premium headphones—the Tour One M3—arrives in India

JBL is a household name in the world of audio products. From speakers to headphones, wireless earbuds, to soundbars, the company makes all sorts of devices. And back at CES 2025, JBL announced its premium wireless headphones, the Tour One M3, with an optional smart audio transmitter. And it has finally arrived in India as well. So in this article, I will discuss everything about the JBL Tour One M3, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

JBL Tour One M3 Overview

Design and Comfort

The Tour One M3 sticks to the familiar over-ear design JBL has used before. Cushioned ear cups, a fairly light frame, and a mostly matte finish. It comes in “Mocha”, “Blue”, and “Black” finishes. Not much has changed visually from the M2, so if you’ve seen a Tour One before, you already know what to expect here.

Sound and other features

According to JBL, they have used the same 40mm dynamic drivers here as on the Tour One M2. But it now has a built-in DAC (Digital-Analog Converter) to let you enjoy lossless sound via the USB-C connection. Whereas it also supports the LDAC codec for up to 24-bit high-res streaming via Bluetooth.

Other than this, the Tour One M3 brings JBL Spatial 360 with head tracking for an immersive listening experience. Its new True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0 is now powered by an eight-microphone array for even more effective ANC.

Ambient Aware lets you hear your surroundings, and SmartTalk pauses playback when you start talking. You can tweak sound through the JBL Headphones app using Personi-Fi 3.0, which adjusts audio based on your hearing profile. And with the Smart Tx audio transmitter accessory, you can connect these headphones to any audio source or stream to any Auracast-enabled speakers or headphones.

Battery backup

JBL has upgraded battery life with the Tour One M3 as well. So M3 offers up to 70 hours of playback on a single charge, a 40% jump from the M2’s 50 hours. Those numbers are with ANC turned off, by the way. And with ANC enabled, JBL promises 40 hours of continuous playback on these headphones. Whereas a full charge takes 2 hours.

JBL Tour One M3 Specifications:

  • Design and build: 278 grams, “Mocha”, “Blue”, “Black” color options
  • Durability: No IP rating
  • Audio: 40mm dynamic drivers
  • Codecs: AAC, SBC, LDAC, LC3
  • Control: Touch controls on each ear cup
  • Battery life: Up to 70 hours (without ANC), 40 hours (with ANC)
  • Charging: USB-C charging (2 hours for full charge)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3
  • Companion app: JBL Headphones (Android | iOS)
  • Other features: True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0, JBL Spatial 360 sound with head tracking, Smart Tx audio transmitter (optional accessory), Personi-Fi 3.0

JBL Tour One M3 Price in Nepal and Availability

In India, the JBL Tour One M3 costs INR 34,999 for the base model. While the one with the Smart Tx accessory costs INR 5,000 more. And in case it ever makes its way here, we expect the price of the JBL Tour One M3 in Nepal to start at NPR 64,999.

Google thinks web browsing should be left up to AI with its new “Gemini 2.5 Computer Use” model

Meet Google’s new AI model, the Gemini 2.5 Computer Use. A model that interacts with the internet just like a human would. Earlier this year, Google promised to bring computer use capabilities to developers through the Gemini API, and they have done it with this one. So, let’s take a closer look at what it is and what it can do.

What is Gemini 2.5 Computer Use?

In case you didn’t notice, that name’s a dead giveaway.

This is an AI model that can use your computer like a human sitting at the keyboard, clicking and typing through apps or websites. It is primarily designed to interact with web browsers, is capable of 13 different actions, and is built on Gemini 2.5 Pro’s visual and reasoning capabilities. All this without needing structured APIs and simply just clicking, typing, and scrolling like normal human beings.

It’s like basically giving the AI model tools to navigate the digital world.

How it works

So, Gemini 2.5 Computer Use basically works in a loop that operates via the “computer_use” tool in the Gemini API:

First, it sends a request to the model along with any custom user-defined functions if there are any. Then it will prompt the model with the request as well as a screenshot of the current UI.

After that, the model analyzes the request and then generates a response like “click at a certain coordinate” or “type certain text”. It also checks if the response is safe or not, like accepting unwanted cookies on a website, which requires further confirmation.

Then it will execute the action in the client environment (browser).

And lastly, it will capture the new screenshot of the GUI, and the function response will be sent back to the model. Similarly, it will work differently if the safety confirmation has been denied.

Gemini 2.5 Computer Use Model flow
Gemini 2.5 Computer Use Model flow

The model repeats from the analysis step until the given task has been completed or an error occurs. The flowchart above can help to ease the understanding even more. Google has also uploaded a demo video regarding the Computer Use model that organizes sticky notes.

Why is it useful?

If you have used AI agents before, you would know this is a pretty big deal for users. It will greatly help in automating workflows or making your own personal assistant even easier.

The Gemini 2.5 Computer Use model even impressed in benchmarks like Online-Mind2Web (web tasks) and AndroidWorld (mobile) with over 65% accuracy and comparatively lower latency of below 225 ms than other competitive models like Claude Sonnet 4.5 at around 280 ms.

Gemini 2.5 Computer Use high accuracy while maintaining low latency

You may also like:

What are the downsides of Gemini 2.5 Computer Use?

As I mentioned before, the model will require a screenshot of your screen along with the URL and action histories that are sent to Google’s server. If you use the model to automate tasks involving personal data, the screenshot could capture sensitive information like your address or name.

The main problem comes when malicious sites are built on manipulating this model with fake UI elements. This could further lead to downloading malicious software or, as mentioned above, exposing your personal information. Although we can expect it to be trained to avoid doing such acts.

My final thoughts

At last, I would say this step towards a “computer use” model by Google is quite innovative and useful. Think about the time and effort it can save in doing simple yet boring tasks that require you to do the same thing over and over again. But like I said before, it has its own risks and downsides too.

Nevertheless, if you plan on using this model or trying it out, you can do so right now via the Google AI Studio or demo it on Browserbase.

DJI Osmo Nano with an ultra-compact design is now available in Nepal

The last few months were pretty big for DJI since they launched four devices: the DJI Osmo 360, DJI Mic 3, DJI Mini 5 Pro, and an ultra-compact action camera named the “DJI Osmo Nano”. This tiny wearable camera has a massive 1/1.3-inch sensor packed into just 52 grams, and it is now available in Nepal as well. Now, let’s jump into this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest DJI Osmo Nano, including its specs, availability, and official price in Nepal.

DJI Osmo Nano Overview

Design and build quality

The Osmo Nano is DJI’s answer to cameras like the Insta360 GO series, but with way more serious specs. At just 52 grams for the camera module, this thing is ridiculously small yet packs the same sensor as DJI’s much larger Action 5 Pro.

DJI Osmo Nano Design

The magnetic mounting system is probably the star feature here. You can slap this camera on hats, helmets, pet collars, or basically anywhere metal will stick. The dual-sided magnetic design means you can flip it around for selfies, too.

Build quality looks solid for me for something this small. The camera itself is waterproof down to 10 meters without any housing, while the dock gets IPX4 splash resistance.  It’s genuinely tiny. The dock adds some bulk at 72 grams, but even combined, you’re looking at something way smaller than a GoPro setup.

Camera performance and features

 That 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor is the same one from the Action 5 Pro, which means serious image quality in a tiny package can be expected here. The camera can shoot 4K at 60fps normally and 4K at 120fps for slow motion.

Similarly, the 143° ultra-wide field of view is pretty aggressive here. Plus, there’s RockSteady 3.0 stabilization and HorizonBalancing that corrects tilts up to ±30°. The 1.96-inch OLED touchscreen on the dock is surprisingly bright at 800 nits peak. It handles remote triggering, charging, file management, and high-speed transfers.

Another thing that’s worth mentioning is the 10-bit D-Log M recording capability. It’s got pro-level color grading too, camera, which feels almost ridiculous if you think about it. Photo specs are solid, too. You can capture 12MP stills, though the specs sheet mentions up to 35MP, so there’s probably some computational photography happening there.

Battery life and storage

The camera has a 520mAh battery that’s good for about 90 minutes of 1080p recording. However, when you dock it with the Vision Dock, you gain an additional 1300mAh, increasing the total recording time to approximately 200 minutes. Fast charging is there too. The dock can push the camera battery to 80% in about 20 minutes.

Storage options are 64GB or 128GB internally, but you can expand up to 1TB via microSD through the dock. File transfer speeds are impressive too, up to 600 MB/s on the 128GB model and 400 MB/s on the 64GB version.

Smart features and audio

The gesture control is neat. You can start recording by nodding or tapping the camera. And there’s also Pre-Rec mode that captures footage before you hit record, so you don’t miss those spontaneous moments. Plus auto recording with configurable intervals and clip duration.

Audio-wise, you get dual stereo mics built in, and you also get something called OsmoAudio Direct Microphone Connection. You can connect two DJI mic transmitters directly, though it only works with newer DJI mics, not the first-gen stuff.

DJI Osmo Nano Specifications

  • Design, build: 57mm × 29mm × 28mm (camera), 52g weight, waterproof to 10m, IPX4 dock
  • Display: 1.96-inch OLED touchscreen, 314 × 556 resolution, 800 nits peak brightness
  • Sensor: 1/1.3-inch CMOS, 13.5 stops dynamic range
  • Video recording: 4K up to 120fps, 10-bit D-Log M, RockSteady 3.0 stabilization
  • Photo resolution: Up to 35MP (6880 × 5160), minimum focus 35cm
  • Field of view: 143° ultra-wide
  • Storage: 64GB or 128GB internal, microSD up to 1TB via dock
  • Battery: 520mAh (camera) + 1300mAh (dock), 90-200 mins recording time
  • Audio: Dual stereo mics, OsmoAudio Direct Microphone Connection
  • Connectivity: USB-C PD Cable (USB 3.1), wireless file transfer
  • Mounting: Magnetic dual-sided design, multiple adapter options

DJI Osmo Nano Price in Nepal and Availability

In Nepal, the official price of the DJI Osmo Nano is NPR 60,500. This is for its Standard Combo with 128GB storage, by the way, which also comes with a protective case, a magnetic hat clip, a magnetic ball-joint adapter mount, and the multifunctional vision dock. You can buy the DJI Osmo Nano in Nepal from different authorized stores across the country.

The OnePlus 15T could embarrass Galaxy S26 Ultra with a 7000 mAh+ battery in a compact body

With the OnePlus 15 set to launch this month, tipster Smart Pikachu has already spilled some early details about the OnePlus 15T. And yep, we’re clearly in the middle of a battery arms race right now with Chinese brands going all out.

OnePlus doesn’t plan on sitting this one out either since the 15T is rumored to bring a 7,000 mAh+ battery in a compact body. Which would totally put Samsung’s tall-boy flagship, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, to shame since it’s still expected to carry a tiny 5,000 mAh battery.

OnePlus 15T Rumors

A massive battery

A big battery on a phone as small as this is the real headliner since the OnePlus 15T might pack a 7000 mAh+ battery. For context, the Galaxy S25 Ultra (review) only has 5000mAh, and that phone is way taller. And it doesn’t seem Samsung is too keen on making any battery upgrades with its successor either.

OnePlus 15T leaks by Smart Pikachu

Even in our own battery drain test, the OnePlus 13 (with its 6,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery) managed to outlast Apple, Samsung, and Google’s flagships pretty comfortably. All of which use traditional lithium-ion batteries.

But silicon-carbon has been a subject of slight controversy recently, since the recently launched Xiaomi 17 Pro Max managed to outlast the iPhone 17 Pro Max (review) by just 5 minutes in TechDroider’s test. Even though it has a giant 7,500 mAh battery compared to the iPhone’s 5,088 mAh unit.

Performance and everything else

Anyway, the OnePlus 15T could be powered by a flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip as well. Since it’s a flagship chipset, there is probably no game that this chip won’t run smoothly. Although its compact design could very well mean a relatively compromised cooling system versus the regular OnePlus 15.

OnePlus 13T Design and Display
OnePlus 13T

Up front, the OnePlus 15T will have a 6.3-inch AMOLED display. Most likely without any curves on the sides. The exact display material hasn’t been confirmed yet, but I’d expect something similar to an 8T LTPO AMOLED from the OnePlus 13T. Aka the OnePlus 13s (review).

At least we know that the 15T will bring an ultrasonic fingerprint reader this time. Optical scanners are fine, but ultrasonic ones are faster and work better with wet fingers. OnePlus is also wrapping it in a metallic frame, while it could come with the “Plus Key” that we first saw on the 13s.

OnePlus 15T Rumors and Availability

According to leakster Smart Pikachu, the OnePlus 15T’s launch timeline is reportedly scheduled between March and April. The phone will make its debut in China first. And we expect OnePlus to rebrand it as “15s” for the global market, like its predecessor.

Soundcore’s new portable projector also comes with detachable speakers

Soundcore seems to have outdone itself by presenting a fascinating portable projector. The Nebula P1 takes cues from the Nebula X1 Pro that Anker demoed about a month ago at IFA 2025, but shrinks all that tech into a more easy-to-carry package. And the speakers, which snap off and connect over Bluetooth, are apparently solid for something this small. Now, let’s jump into this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest Soundcore Nebula P1, including its features, specifications, and also the expected price in Nepal.

Soundcore Nebula P1 Overview

Design and projection

The Nebula P1 is really tiny at just 5.3 pounds, a stark contrast if you look at the X1 Pro’s 72-pound heft. It’s capable of 1080p projection up to 180 inches (provided that the projector is at around 4.8 meters away from the screen), though you’ll want a dark room to really see the full effect. Since it has a pretty average 650 ANSI Lumens brightness.

Anker Soundcore Nebula P1 Design The projector has a 1.2:1 throw ratio and all the usual features like automatic focus adjustment and automatic keystone correction to correct distortion in the projected image. There’s also a gimbal that lets you tilt it up to 130 degrees, so setting it up is fairly painless, even if you throw it on a shelf or a table.

Speakers and battery

The speakers here are also very fascinating. The Soundcore Nebula P1 has two detachable 10W speakers that give you instant stereo and can run up to 20 hours on their own battery. Early impressions from a few content creators suggest these aren’t your average built-in speakers. Since they can actually deliver decent and loud audio on their own.

But although the speakers have a built-in battery, the projector itself has to stay plugged in. And when you plug it in, the speakers also charge magnetically through the dock while attached to the top. Which should take around 3 hours for a complete refill. Also, these speakers are IP54 dust/splash resistant, versus just an IP33 rating for the projector.

Performance and Software

In terms of performance, the Nebula P1 runs Google TV, comes with 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and has Netflix pre-installed. It has a wide range of connectivity options as well, including HDMI 2.1, USB-C, and USB-A, whereas you will also be able to wirelessly cast the content of your smartphone thanks to its Google Cast support.

Soundcore Nebula P1 Specifications:

  • Design, build: 5.3 pounds, IP33 splash-resistant body, IP54 speakers
  • Display: 1080p, 180-inch projection, 1.2:1 throw ratio, 124% Rec. 709 color gamut
  • Audio: 2×10W detachable speakers, Dolby Audio, up to 85dB, 65Hz bass
  • Performance: 2GB RAM, 32GB storage
  • Software & UI: Google TV with Netflix pre-installed
  • Ports: HDMI 2.1, USB-C, USB-A
  • Battery: Up to 20 hours for speakers (projector needs to stay plugged in)

Soundcore Nebula P1 Price in Nepal and Availability

Anker lists the Soundcore Nebula P1 at USD 799, with a limited-time discount bringing that price down to USD 719. We would absolutely love to see it launch in Nepal as well, and we expect the Soundcore Nebula P1 to cost around NPR 129,999 if it ever arrives here.

UFS 5.0 announced with almost twice as fast data speeds!

Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) has announced the UFS 5.0 standard for storage devices. This new generation of UFS 5.0 flash storage brings nearly twice as fast sequential performance compared to UFS 4.0 and UFS 4.1. We expect smartphones with the next-gen UFS storage to arrive pretty soon, so let’s take a closer look at what’s in store here.

A big performance leap with UFS 5.0

So for starters, the UFS 5.0 has a maximum sequential performance of 10.8 GB/s, compared to 5.8 GB/s on UFS 4.0 and UFS 4.1. That’s an increase of over 180%! This makes it fairly competitive against desktop-grade PCIe 5.0 SSDs like the Corsair MP700 Pro with around 12 GB/s of sequential read/write speeds, while maintaining mobile-friendly power efficiency.

UFS 5.0 vs UFS 4.0 comparison
AI generated

But of course, you might not even notice this spec bump because older UFS standards were already plenty fast enough for most stuff. Instead, JEDEC states that the reason for a faster UFS 5.0 storage is to meet the growing demands of various AI applications that we see in modern-day mobile phones. Additionally, it achieves this with low power consumption, making it prominent for applications where power efficiency is essential.

Additional improvements

Apart from the obvious performance changes, the UFS 5.0 also comes with enhanced signal integrity from integrated link equalization. Whereas a distinct power supply rail eases integration for noise isolation between PHY (Physical Layer) and the memory subsystem. It’s also supposed to be more secure with inline hashing.

When will we see UFS 5.0?

The exact release timeline for this new generation of flash storage has not been confirmed yet. JEDEC says they are finalizing the full specifications of the next-gen UFS standard, so we expect to see smartphones with UFS 5.0 to release shortly.

Powerbeats Fit brings an updated wingtip design for better comfort

Beats has just unveiled the new version of its Fit Pro wireless earbuds, now called Powerbeats Fit. These new wireless earbuds come with a design rework, allowing for a more flexible and secure fit along with better sound quality than before. So let’s check out what it has to offer, as well as the expected price in Nepal for the Powerbeats Fit.

Powerbeats Fit Overview

Design rework

As mentioned earlier, the Powerbeats Fit has a new design, with the main change being the updated wingtip. The wingtips are now trimmed and sit just at the tip of your ear. Beats claims that this wingtip is 20% more flexible, resulting in better comfort and stability over its predecessor. Beats also ships four sizes of ear tips for these earbuds, including XS, S, M, and L.

Powerbeats Fit buds, case and eartips

Additionally, the charging case has also been reduced by 17% in size, making it more pocket-friendly while coming with a tighter hinge and a premium look. But for something that is specifically designed to be worn during workouts, its IPX4 splash resistance for both the earbuds and the case feels a little underwhelming.

You may also like:

Audio, ANC, and Transparency mode

The Powerbeats Fit is powered by Apple’s H1 chip and custom 9.5mm drivers. It also supports features like dynamic head tracking, Adaptive EQ, and Personalized Spatial Audio for a more immersive listening/gaming experience. Like with the AirPods Pro 3. Although some early reports suggest that the Powerbeats Fit’s audio is a step below the AirPods.

And while these are Apple-made earbuds, you can still pair them with Android devices. And also customize a bunch of stuff inside, like “Locate My Beats” and “Fit Test” from the “Beats” app for Android. With an iPhone, the Powerbeats Fit is capable of usual features, including Automatic Switching, Audio Sharing, hands-free Hey Siri, Find My, Fit Test, and more.

Powerbeats Fit in ear

And of course, you get active noise cancellation (ANC) and Transparency mode on these earbuds. Beats says each earbud has three microphones in total to improve ANC and transparency mode, with dual beam-forming mics working for clearer phone calls.

Battery

As for the battery life, the Powerbeats Fit should last up to 7 hours with the earbuds alone. Or up to 30 hours with the charging case included. It even supports the company’s “Fast Fuel” technology that gives you 1 hour of playback with a quick 5-minute top-up. Unfortunately, we still don’t get wireless charging on these earbuds.

Powerbeats Fit Specifications:

  • Design and build: 62.5 x 24.6 x 27.4 mm, 5.78 gm (per earbud)
  • Durability: IPX4 splash resistant (earbuds + charging case)
  • Audio: 9.5mm custom drivers
  • Control: Press controls
  • Battery life: Up to 7 hours (without ANC), 30 hours (without ANC) with case
  • Charging: USB-C charging (5 minutes charge = 1 hour playtime)
  • Connectivity: Class 1 Wireless Bluetooth
  • Companion app: Beats (Android)
  • Other features: ANC, Transparency mode, Adaptive EQ, Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, Find My

Powerbeats Fit Price in Nepal and Availability

These new Beats earbuds are priced at USD 199.99, the exact same price as the Fit Pro. Meaning the Powerbeats Pro 2 is still the company’s flagship workout buds. You can also get them in different color options like black, gray, pink, and orange. And when the Powerbeats Fit lands here in Nepal, we expect its price to be around NPR 35,000.

Earbuds Price in US (Official) Price in Nepal (Expected)

Xiaomi HyperOS 3 (Android 16): Full features, supported devices, and more

About a month ago, Xiaomi officially announced HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, marking a new chapter in the company’s operating system development. The company has officially published the stable rollout schedule of HyperOS 3 in the global market. In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know about HyperOS 3, including its features and the complete list of devices eligible for the update.

Xiaomi HyperOS 3 (Android 16) is here

The president of Xiaomi Group Partner and Mobile Phone Division, Mr. Lu Weibing, said that HyperOS 3 is now a new starting point of Xiaomi’s operating system development. This fresh phase focuses on making the system smoother, more responsive, and more intuitive for its users.

What is new in HyperOS 3?

Xiaomi says its latest take on Android has some significant optimization in terms of performance as well. Besides smoother animations across the system, HyperOS 3 reportedly reduces app load time by 21%.

Gamers can expect an even better experience here with 15% better 1% low fps and 9% lower power draw as well.

The new Super Island

Besides all those under-the-hood optimizations, HyperOS 3 brings a lot of iOS-inspired features too.

Super Island in Xiaomi HyperOS 3

Like Xiaomi’s take on Apple’s Dynamic Island, called “Super Island,” which offers contextual information about real-time app activities. But unlike iOS, Super Island remains active in the notification panel as well.

Xiaomi HyperOS 3 - MacBook and iPad Sync

Whereas HyperOS 3-powered smartphones will work a lot better with different Apple devices, too. You will be able to run your Xiaomi phone’s app directly on your iPad or MacBook and even share images and sync notifications between your Xiaomi phone and an iPhone.

Other changes

Xiaomi has also introduced a notable visual refresh across the UI. Including redesigned app and status bar icons, and better notification organization. The company has also updated the “Dynamic Wallpaper” we first saw on HyperOS 2 (Android 15) to add more cinematic depth effects and better lockscreen customization.

The one new feature that caught my eye is HyperOS 3’s offline positioning, which should let you find supported devices when they’re offline or switched off.

Which devices are eligible and will get the Xiaomi HyperOS 3 update?

Xiaomi has now officially published the stable global rollout schedule, starting this month. Below is the complete timeline, including the devices:

From October to November 2025

Samsung Galaxy M07 is here with Helio G99 and a 5000 mAh battery

Finally, Samsung has launched its new Galaxy M07 budget phone with 6 years of software updates, like those we see on its premium “Galaxy A” series. And the M07 does bring some neat upgrades over the Galaxy M06. So, without any delay, let’s deep-dive into the specs, features, and also expected price for the Samsung Galaxy M07 in Nepal.

Samsung Galaxy M07 Overview

Design and Display

Starting with the design, the Samsung Galaxy M07 is sleek and slim, measuring just 7.6mm and weighing around 184 g. The camera designs have not changed from last year’s M06, as we still get a pill-shaped camera with an LED flash. Samsung has gone with only a single black colour for the colour option, but at least it has a glass fiber reinforced back panel this time.

Samsung galaxy m07 design

At the front, too, nothing has changed much from the previous generation. We still get a 6.7-inch HD+ PLS LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate. It still comes with an HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) resolution and a U-shaped notch, which is quite boring considering it’s a 2025 smartphone. Thankfully, we now have an IP54 rating for minor protection against dust and water.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, the Galaxy M07 runs on a MediaTek Helio G99 4G chipset, featuring two Cortex-A76 (2.2GHz) and six Cortex-A55 (2.0GHz) CPU cores. Additionally, it is packed with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, with microSD expansion. The Helio G99 is already a 4-year-old chipset, but it’s still powerful enough for basic everyday tasks and even light gaming.

Mediatek Helio G99 4G Chipset

The Galaxy M07 has a standard 5000 mAh battery with 25W of fast charging support; however, Samsung does not provide a charger inside the box. For software, it ships with Android 15 with One UI 7. Further, Samsung has promised 6 years of OS and security updates.

Camera and other features

For the camera, the Galaxy M07 has a 50MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, we get an 8MP front camera.

Digital transaction limits in Nepal: Mobile banking, wallet, and card rules explained

Since 2076 BS, Nepal Rastra Bank has issued annual directives on payment systems to promote electronic payments across the country. And in this article, we will take a closer look at the digital transaction limits in Nepal for electronic payment services.

Nepal Rastra Bank Transaction Limits Overview

Daily transaction limits

Here, digital wallet users can transfer up to NPR 200,000 daily from bank accounts to wallets, with a monthly cap of NPR 1 million. The same limits apply to wallet-to-bank transfers. The central bank restricts wallet-to-wallet transfers to NPR 50,000 per day and NPR 500,000 monthly.

Exemptions from limits

The directive also exempts payments to the government, including taxes, duties, fines, and vehicle registration fees, from standard transaction limits. Other items, such as utility bills for water and electricity, telecommunication charges, social security contributions, school fees, and insurance premiums, also fall outside the normal restrictions.

The directive exempts certain transfers from limits. Users face no restrictions when transferring money from their wallet to their linked bank account. Similarly, transfers between accounts in the same person’s name at the same bank or financial institution are unlimited.

The USSD system, which doesn’t require a smartphone, allows users to transact NPR 5,000 per transaction with a daily maximum of NPR 10,000. The central bank limits contactless payments using NFC technology to NPR 5,000 per transaction.

The central bank has now eliminated transaction limits on debit, credit, and prepaid cards for point-of-sale and e-commerce purchases. It has also mandated that financial institutions cannot charge customers any fees for domestic payments made via cards, digital wallets, or mobile banking apps. Users can also retrieve forgotten passwords or PINs without paying any charge.

Business and large-value payments

Commercial enterprises can access specialised payment services like Corporate Pay, which offers customised transaction limits for payroll and vendor payments. Businesses must apply through their banks or financial institutions.

The Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system processes transactions of NPR 200,000 and above instantly. It operates Sunday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM and Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:45 PM. An alternative Inter-bank Payment System (IPS) handles large-value payments non-real-time.
