In this post, we have listed all of the POCO mobiles that you can currently buy in Nepal with their specs, features, and official price. Recently, the company has revised the prices of a few of its models because of the increase in excise duty.
POCO’s debut in Nepal
POCO is a name that is very popular with smartphone enthusiasts. The company came into the limelight with the introduction of the POCO F1. POCO has released a handful of smartphones since then. Though none of them have been as promising as the F1, POCO still remains the first choice for many users looking for phones because of its aggressive pricing.
If we look at the budget and mid-range segment of the Nepali smartphone market, Xiaomi has made a name for itself because of its aggressive pricing strategy. As of now, it has made devices from the budget Redmi and flagship Mi lineups for the Nepali audience. It even brought the POCO F1 to Nepal when POCO was a sub-brand of Xiaomi. Since the spun-off of POCO as an independent in India, there has been confusion among fans if they see the brand again in Nepal.
POCO officially returned to the Nepalese smartphone industry in 2020 with two phones: POCO C3 and POCO M2. And a few weeks later, POCO X3 debuted in the country as well. Regardless of the spin-off, it seems like Xiaomi and POCO will be under the same leadership here in Nepal. That also means the distribution of POCO smartphones in Nepal will be handled by Vatsal Impex and Teletalk. In terms of their price, all the POCO mobiles that are available today in Nepal are fairly competitive.
POCO C31 is the second device in the entry-level C-series. That being said, it is not a phone that POCO built from the ground up. It’s basically the POCO C1 with a physical fingerprint scanner at the back. Every other spec is identical across the two devices.
POCO C31 features the same 6.53-inch LCD panel, Helio G35 processor, 13MP triple camera, and 5,000mAh battery.
POCO C31 Specifications:
Display: 6.53-inch HD+ LCD display, 20:9 aspect ratio
The M5 inherits the leather-like textured back of the M3 along with the dual-tone finish of its predecessor. The phone sports a 6.58-inch LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate.
POCO M5 is powered by Helio G99 which is the first 6nm chip in the Helio G series. It is paired with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. It gets its juice from a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging.
The phone flaunts a triple camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary, 2MP depth, and 2MP macro sensor. Over on the front, there is a 5MP selfie camera. The phone runs on Android 12-based MIUI 13 out of the box.
Battery: 5000mAh with 18W fast charging (22.5W adapter provided)
Price: Rs. 20,499 (4/64GB) | Rs. 23,999 (6/128GB)
POCO X5 Pro
The X5 Pro is POCO’s most premium X-series smartphone for 2023, and it will be available soon in Nepal. It runs on a Snapdragon 778G chipset, which delivers a significant performance boost compared to the Snapdragon 695 found in the POCO X4 Pro. The phone comes with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.
Moreover, the X5 Pro boasts a stunning 10-bit AMOLED display that supports a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. POCO has also included HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision support, as well as a 1920Hz PWM dimming feature to protect your eyes in low-light environments. Camera-wise, the phone sports a 108MP triple camera setup on the back and a 16MP sensor on the front.
The F3 is the company’s first flagship device to launch in Nepal since the revolutionary F1. Under the hood, it packs the Snapdragon 870 chipset that has a maximum single-core speed of 3.2GHz. It is paired with 6/8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128/256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The phone ships with MIUI 12 for POCO based on Android 11.
It features a 6.4-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz sampling rate. The triple camera setup on the back consists of a 48MP Sony IMX589 primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 5MP telephoto-macro lens. Fueling the device is a 4520mAh battery that can be charged using a 33W fast charger.
POCO F3 Specifications:
Display: 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED, 120Hz, Corning Gorilla Glass 5
Though POCO promotes most of its phones as performance-focused phones, the F3 GT stands out because of the mechanical shoulder button, which gives it the upper hand while gaming. POCO has even added A tactical RGB Glow around the camera for gaming aesthetics.
Moving on to the specs, POCO F3 GT packs MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset. The 6.67-inch AMOLED has a 120Hz refresh rate and 480Hz touch sampling rate. As for optics, you get a triple camera setup consisting of a 64MP primary, 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro sensor. Fueling the phone is a 5,065mAh battery, and POCO includes a 67W charger in the box.
That completes our latest list of POCO mobiles in Nepal, including their price and specs. As mentioned earlier, it re-entered the Nepali market in 2020 and has since launched a good number of phones. This includes budget devices in the C-series, mid-range phones in the X-series, and even flagship offerings like the POCO F3 GT. Pricing has also been pretty competitive so far. However, it still takes months for a device to land in Nepal after its initial launch. So we hope POCO will be quick to make its phones available in the country.

Whether you’re into action-packed shooters, strategy games, or immersive RPGs, having the right gaming phone significantly enhances your gaming experience. In this article, we will discuss more about the best gaming phone available and their price in Nepal.
Mobile Gaming Overview
Mobile gaming has become huge thanks to games like Genshin Impact, PUBG, and Call of Duty (COD). It’s popular because you can play on your phone wherever you go. Competitive gaming, known as esports, is a big part of it now, with tournaments and players showing off their skills. PubG has become extremely popular over the years, resulting in the emergence of gamers all over Nepal. Recently, we had organized a PubG tournament named as Gadgetbyte Nepal Championship, where Horaa Esports came out victorious.
Key Features to Consider
Processor Performance:
The cornerstone of any gaming phone is its processor. In Nepal, flagship devices equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 series (e.g., Samsung S24 Ultra, Xiaomi 14, iQOO 12, OnePlus 12) or MediaTek Dimensity 9300 (e.g., Vivo X100 Pro, Oppo Find X7 Ultra) deliver unparalleled gaming performance. Apple’s A17 Pro in the iPhone 15 Pro Max also stands out for its gaming capabilities. These processors ensure smooth gameplay and handle graphically intensive tasks with ease.
Display Quality:
A high-quality display enhances your gaming visuals. While mid-range gaming phones often feature AMOLED displays, flagship models may come equipped with LTPO panels that offer higher refresh rates and vibrant colors. Look for phones with refresh rates of at least 120Hz to ensure fluid motion and responsiveness during gameplay.
RAM and Storage:
Ample RAM and storage are crucial for gaming enthusiasts. Opt for phones with at least 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM to handle multitasking and ensure smooth gaming performance. Storage options typically range from 256GB to 512GB, with flagship phones featuring UFS 4.0 for faster data transfer speeds.
Cooling System:
Effective cooling is essential for maintaining peak performance during extended gaming sessions. Look for phones equipped with advanced cooling mechanisms that prevent overheating and ensure consistent performance over time.
Gaming Phones all around the world
While dedicated gaming phones like the Asus ROG Phone series or ZTE’s Redmagic series aren’t widely available in Nepal, flagship models from brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Apple offer excellent gaming performance. These phones combine powerful hardware with optimized software to deliver a superior gaming experience.
Best Gaming Phone available in Nepal
There are not a lot of dedicated gaming phones available in Nepal except for the Infinix GT 20 Pro. So we will see what are the best phones suited for gaming.
Best Gaming phones money can buy
iPhone 15 Pro Max
iPhones are renowned for their exceptional cameras and user experiences, but they also deliver excellent gaming performance. Equipped with Apple’s A17 Pro chipset, iPhones can handle AAA games for hours without a hitch. According to a poll conducted during the GBNC tournament, 100% of the participating gamers were using some model of iPhone. Additionally, iPhones offer top-quality cameras and displays, making them a great all-around choice. If budget is not a concern, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is one of the best phones to buy for gaming and virtually any other activity.
iPhone 15 Pro Max: Specifications
Body: 76.7 x 159.9 x 8.25mm, 221gm, Titanium frames, IP68 dust/water resistant
Another phone on our list is Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S24 Ultra. Equipped with an overclocked version of Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the S24 Ultra is one of the best smartphones in the world. And among its many different capabilities, gaming is definitely one of them. The SD 8 gen 3 can handle games like PubG at 90 FPS and genshing impact at 58 FPS. The vapor chamber cooling system enhancements are another addition to its already genius engineering. Stability, FPS in games, and temperature control, you name it! The S24 Ultra outshines its predecessor without much issue. So, if you are looking for a smartphone that is an allrounder at everything while being a gaming beast, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is the one to look out for.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Specifications:
Design: Titanium body with IP68 rating and S-pen support
Display: 6.8-inches Dynamic AMOLED 2X Infinity-O, Gorilla Glass Armor, Adaptive 120Hz refresh rate, Vision Booster, up to 2600 nits (peak)
Resolution: QHD+ (3088 x 1440 pixels)
Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy (4nm mobile platform)
Memory: 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, Up to 1TB UFS 4.0 storage
Best Dedicated Gaming Phone ( Best Gaming Phone Under 50000)
Infinix GT 20 Pro
So a lot of flagship phones usually comes with flagship chipset, but doesn’t necessarily confers to have better gaming performance. As i said earlier, some phone might lack essential cooling system, or they might have not have great optimization for gaming. If you were to look in global landscape you will stumble across various dedicated gaming phone like the Redmagic 9 Pro or the Asus ROG 8 Pro. Poco X6 Pro left its magic with its affordability as an exceptional budget gaming device. However, these phones are not available in Nepal. So the only ‘dedicated’ gaming phone that can be purchased in Nepal is the Latest Infinix GT 20 Pro. The Infinix GT 20 Pro is equipped with Mediatek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate and is capable of exceptional performance while gaming.
The gaming test numbers came really good, not just the average fps, but the 99th percentile too. Mobile Legends runs incredibly smooth averaging at 118 fps, while playing Mech Arena at the highest graphics results in great stability as well. Even the temperature data is favorable in these games.
I can play PUBG at 120 fps on this thing!
Infinix has also rolled out April’s update enabling 120 fps mode in PUBG mobile. This is one of the first mid-range phones to receive this update and in fact, the Infinix GT 20 pro is the official Gaming Phone for PMSL, EMEA & CSA, which may be one of the reasons for the early update!
PUBG gameplay is smooth here averaging at 112 fps in the smooth+ 120 fps mode. Likewise, Genshin Impact runs at around 58 fps at high graphics and 60 fps settings. And as I said before, not just the average fps is impressive here, but the 99th percentile number is good too, which means the stability in games is superb.
Two cooling solutions
Infinix has also included 2 forms of cooling solutions here, the phone uses graphite sheets as well as vapor chamber cooling. While I tested the games, I found the cooling solution dissipating heat rather well here. The phone would get to almost 44°C in titles like Genshin Impact, but the performance and stability were unhindered, so I would say it did a pretty good job.
I also tried using the magnetic cooler that came in the PR package and was able to get even better temperature numbers. By the way, the cooler does not come included in the normal retail package, but users can choose to buy it separately in case they would like to have it.
Other gaming features
Besides, there are other gaming-specific features here, like “bypass charging” which does a good job of maintaining the thermals when you are playing games while plugged in. What it does is, it allows the device to drive power directly from the charger, bypassing the battery, which reduces the load on the battery resulting in less heat build-up.
Infinix GT 20 Pro: Specifications
Display: 6.78-inch AMOLED, 144Hz refresh rate
Resolution: FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels), 20:9 aspect ratio
Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 8200 5G (4nm mobile platform)
Xiaomi 14 is one of the best gaming phones you can buy under 1 lakh rupees. It comes equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, resulting in flawless gaming performance. This phone has a smaller chassis, so I was really interested to see if it could handle all the power of the 8 Gen 3. And for the most part, it does. It controlled the temperatures very well while gaming. I tested Genshin Impact and PUBG for around 30 minutes each and the phone didn’t go above 41 degrees, so that’s nice. You can run PubG at 90 fps and Gensing impact at almost 60 fps without any hiccups. Moreover, Xiaomi says they have included something called an Ice Loop vapor chamber system, that has 3 times the thermal efficiency to that of normal Vapor Chamber cooling solutions, so gaming can be so much fun just under 1 lakh rupees.
The OnePlus 12R is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, paired with either 8 or 16GB of RAM and 128 or 256GB of storage. With last year’s flagship chip, the 12R delivers excellent gaming performance, rivaling the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in everyday use. My gaming tests showed similar results between the OnePlus 12 and the 12R, with both handling Genshin Impact at the highest graphics with a near 60 fps average. However, the 12R did experience minor frame drops when playing PUBG Mobile at 90 fps. Both phones feature an identical vapor chamber cooling system, resulting in almost identical temperature data.
While the more expensive OnePlus 12 offers additional gaming features like “Hyper Resolution” and “Adaptive Frame Boost,” these enhancements are not yet widely supported by popular titles. Despite this, the OnePlus 12R remains a compelling choice for gamers. Priced at NPR 90,999, it is considered overpriced in Nepal, but it still offers impressive performance for its availability in the region.
As we approach the launch of the iPhone 16 series in just a couple of months, we’re still talking about the iPhone 13. That might just tell you how good iPhones are… Despite its age, the iPhone 13 remains highly reliable as a gaming phone in 2024. Even without a 120Hz refresh rate, it performs commendably well with games like COD, PUBG, and Genshin Impact. Therefore, the iPhone 13 continues to be one of the best gaming phones available for under 1 lakh rupees in Nepal.
iPhone 13 Specifications:
Body: 71.5 x 146.7 x 7.65mm, 174 gm, IP68 certified, Aluminum frame
Display: 6.1-inches Super Retina XDR OLED panel, 1200 nits max brightness (HDR), Ceramic Shield, Wide Color (P3)
Resolution: (2532 x 1170 pixels), 460 PPI
Chipset: Apple A15 Bionic 5G (5nm Mobile Platform), 4-core GPU
Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is not exactly a gaming phone, but it does it job with the Dimensity 6100 chipset it comes with. The best chipset you can get under 30K is the Helio G99, and the Galaxy A15 comes with the 5G version of this chip. It can run Pubg at 40fps, and genshin impact at 60 fps. Other than that, it has pretty solid battery performance and doesn’t have that much of overheating issues. With an AMOLED display and decent speakers at its wing, the Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is probably the best budget gaming phone you can find in Nepal.
Best Gaming Phone in Nepal: Conclusion & Availability
Since there are no flagship-level gaming-intended smartphones available in Nepal, most of these flagships coming from Samsung, Apple, and Xiaomi will do plenty of job for you. You can purchase all of these smartphones from Hukut.

The AI landscape is largely dominated by a few main players spanning OpenAI, Anthropic, and Alphabet with their LLM models. GPT 4 and Claude 3.5 are some of the most popular models out there but what if I told you, there’s an open-source model that beats both? An interesting proposal right? Well, DeepSeek V3 does just that and plenty more, let’s explore.
DeepSeek V3 AI features an overview
DeepSeek proudly claims the crown over GPT 4 and Claude 3.5 evident by the fact that it’s one of the first things you see on their site.
General knowledge
When it comes to general knowledge, DeepSeek V3 seems to be competing well scoring 88.5 on the MMLU test (a major benchmark for general knowledge), it’s neck-and-neck with GPT-4 (87.2) and just slightly behind Claude 3.5 (88.3).
Complex problem solving
DeepSeek V3 shines in complex question answering. On the DROP test (which evaluates reading comprehension and reasoning), it scored an impressive 91.6, leaving both GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 in the dust.
Debugging like a pro
When it comes to coding, DeepSeek V3 flexes its muscles. With a score of 82.6 on HumanEval (a coding test), it outperforms many of its competitors. Not just theoretical problems, DeepSeek V3 also nails real-world software engineering tasks, scoring 42.0 on the SWE Verified test.
Mathematics is another area where DeepSeek V3 shows its strength. With a score of 90.2 on MATH-500, it’s far ahead of GPT-4 (74.6) and Claude 3.5 (78.3). If GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 are still doing long division, DeepSeek V3 is already solving integrals in its head.
Chinese language tasks
DeepSeek V3 also excels in language tasks, especially in Chinese. Scoring 86.5 on C-Eval (a Chinese language benchmark), it beats GPT-4 (76.0) and Claude 3.5 (76.7).
So, what does all this mean? DeepSeek V3 is coming out of the gate strong, and it’s clear it’s not just here to compete but to challenge the top heroes in the AI race. In a market where it’s easy to be overshadowed by giants like GPT-4 and Claude 3.5, DeepSeek V3 is making a name for itself as the underdog with serious potential.
That being said, I want you to keep in mind that there are a lot of other AI tools like O3 (the latest from OpenAI) and Gemini 2.0 (the latest from Google) that outshine DeepSeek V3 in various standards like speed and problem-solving. So this AI tool might not be ON THE TOP OF THE LIST but it’s definitely one of the best open-source alternatives out there!

Vivo is preparing to expand its brand by introducing a sub-brand Jovi. This series is aimed at offering affordable entry-level smartphones with the first being the expected Jovi Y39 5G. With this, Vivo will operate two different subbrands: ‘Jovi’ and ‘IQOO’ all while continuing to sell under its own name as well.
Jovi Y39 5G Overview
Recently, a new device with the model number V2444A appeared on Geekbench, and it’s expected to be the Jovi Y39 5G. This phone is likely to come as a successor to the Vivo Y38 5G and will feature 5G connectivity. The Geekbench listing reveals that the device achieved a single-core score of 912 and a multi-core score of 2,214.

Apple unveiled its latest iPhone 15 models in Nepal back in October of 2023. And now they have seen a sweet price cut (again) including the top-tier iPhone 15 Pro Max. So, let’s talk about the features, specifications, and official price in Nepal of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
iPhone 15 Pro Max Overview
Build and Display
The 15 Pro Max is the first iPhone to feature a titanium build. This not only makes it stronger but lighter too. As such, the largest iPhone of 2023 only weighs 221 grams, an 8% reduction compared to the 14 Pro Max’s 240 grams. All iPhones this year, including the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, have slightly curved edges and IP68 dust and water protection.
But one thing unique to the Pro models this time is the new “Action Button”. It replaces the iconic alert switch, and you can even reprogram this button to launch a bunch of shortcuts now.
Moving on, the display seems untouched though and the Dynamic Island doesn’t see any changes either. It is a 6.7-inch “Super Retina XDR” OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2,000 nits of peak brightness, 2796 x 1290 resolution, and a pixel density of 460 ppi. It’s got the same “Ceramic Shield” display protection too.
Apple has also used an LTPO backplane here, which can bring down the refresh rate to as low as 1Hz whenever necessary. The only thing that’s new this time is that the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s display features thinner bezels compared to its predecessor.
In terms of performance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is powered by the all-new A17 Pro chip. Fabbed under the industry-leading 3nm process, this processor brings 20% improved GPU performance over the A16 Bionic. These high-end chips are already super capable so a casual user might never even notice the improvement. That is exactly what we came to conclude in our iPhone 15 Pro Max full review where the phone was blazing fast but so was last year’s 14 Pro Max. That being said, that extra GPU horsepower is sure to come in handy for gamers.
Matter of fact, Apple has also promised that games like “Resident Evil 4 Remake” and “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” will be directly ported to the iPhone 15 series. On the memory front, Apple never discloses RAM specifications but it seems the iPhone 15 Pro series feature 8GB of memory. Whereas the 15 Pro Max now ships with 256GB of base storage and can be configured with up to 1TB.
As for the cameras, the iPhone 15 Pro Max sees a decent upgrade this time around. It now features a 5X optical zoom lens versus 3X in its predecessor. Apple has used a tetraprism design to cram a 120mm equivalent telephoto lens compared to the 77mm focal length on the 14 Pro Max. This larger focal length is what allows for higher magnification and the tetraprism design enables this without any increase in the physical size of the phone. The sensor size is also about 25% larger on the newer iPhone.
Leaving the software improvements like upgrades to the Photonic Engine aside, the main camera and the ultrawide are the same as last year. The primary shooter in the iPhone 15 Pro Max is a 48MP f/1.78 sensor whereas the ultrawide camera uses a 12MP f/2.2 lens. A new feature on the iPhone is its ability to automatically detect people or pets and switch to portrait mode for convenience. Up front, you get the same 12MP camera as last year with FaceID support.
Rest of the specs
All the new iPhones have a USB-C port but only the Pro and Pro Max support higher speeds (up to 10 gigabits per second) thanks to the USB 3 controller on the A17 Pro. Connectivity options include the same WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, dual-frequency GPS, and NFC. That being said, the iPhone 15 Pro Max does feature a newer second-generation Ultra-wideband (UWB) chip.

We are just two days away from 2025 and Pheww, 2020 felt like a year ago. During these 5 years, almost all our transactions have gone digital with many digital wallets and mobile banking alike. It’s nothing so common for a mobile banking app to appear nowadays but what if I tell you, we have a completely online bank in Nepal with no physical location? Yes, you heard that right, it is the OrangeNXT platform. I tried their app for a month and here’s what you need to know everything about OrangeNXT.
OrangeNXT Review:
What exactly is OrangeNXT?
If you are not already familiar with OrangeNXT or haven’t heard about it to date. OrangeNXT is the first completely online banking platform in Nepal. It is developed by Laxmi Sunrise Bank and FoneNXT, a subsidiary of the PSO giant FonePay under F1Soft. At first, you might think of it as a mobile banking app of Laxmi Sunrise Bank, just as I thought back in the days. But actually, it isn’t. It is a completely different app and platform from the Laxmi Sunrise Money app on the Playstore/Appstore.
Note the word “Platform” because OrangeNXT uses a different bank account from that of the Laxmi Sunrise. Meaning, that despite having an account on the latter, you have to open a new one here.
No Physical Locations
As it is a completely online thing, there are no physical locations of OrangeNXT. But it does provide you a 24×7 customer service through mail, phone calls, and Viber/WhatsApp. And during my usage, they were swift enough to answer my queries.
5% Interest Rate
One of the key fortes of this platform is the 5% interest rate, the highest in the time being for a normal savings account standard. You get three schemes here, Elegant Savings, Kids Saving, and Remit Saver. The Remit Saver gets you a 6% interest rate and is for those receiving remittances from abroad. So, interest-wise, OrangeNXT is enticing, not gonna lie!
OrangeNXT My Experiences
Opening an Account
I heard about OrangeNXT a year ago. I thought it was an updated version of the Laxmi Sunrise mobile banking app after the merger of Laxmi and Sunrise Banks. And as I don’t have an account at Laxmi Sunrise, and none of the articles I have read, specified that it’s a different platform, I didn’t bother opening an account. Well, that was until I thought of giving it a go as I’m a FinTech-loving guy and love exploring whatever new apps are there in the e-wallet and digital banking scene.
I downloaded the app on my phone and was excited to open an account. But well, the universe had other plans I guess, I couldn’t get past the preliminary stage. To elaborate, my Honor 200 couldn’t direct to the messaging app, to get the OTP. It was frustrating honestly, but the OrangeNXT team was helpful enough to keep communicating about resolving the issue.
After all, the other plans I have mentioned above were to find out a good experience from the customer care team working 24 x 7 on the line. Well, it was a device device-specific issue as it was not prevailing on my friends’ phones. Then, I just randomly tried it again and it worked thankfully!
Opening up a new account is very very simple. You just need to fill in all your info name, date of birth, address, and so on, with a government-verified ID such as citizenship, passport, and driving license.
It takes barely 5 minutes to get things done. And inside the app itself, you can make a video call to verify your KYC. This facility is available 24×7 or you can just schedule it as per your appropriate timing. Just make sure, you have the physical copy of the ID you have used to fill up the form.
And voila, you have an account on the OrangeNXT platform. It is that simple, all without having to visit a bank, which is the case in every other bank, despite opening up an account online. Oh wait, OrangeNXT doesn’t have a physical location, giggles!
How’s the UI?
The UI on this app is pretty simple but neat, I’d say. As the name implies Orange, you get a white theme with an orange accent on some elements. Overall, the UI feels minimal and clean to me. But it can get better with smoother animation, more colored UI elements, and a search button, maybe!
Features
All sorts of payment options
As a 2024/25 mobile banking app, OrnageNXT has infused all of the major payment options. It consists of all of the FonePay payment options such as buses, education fees, insurance, capital, NEA, government payments, and such.
Special Features
But the peculiar features are expense tracker, goal-based deposit, Flexi pot, and Smart budget. As the names imply, the expense tracker shows all your income and expenditures. While the goal-based deposit is setting a fixed deposit.
Meanwhile, the Flexi pot feature is pretty amazing. Every time you make a QR payment, you can set a certain amount or percentage of the total payment amount to get saved inside Flexi-pot. Plus, you also get the same 5% interest on the Flexi-pot account and you can withdraw it anytime to the main account.
From Left to Right: Flexi Pot, Smart Budget, Expense Tracker
Likewise, the Smart Budget feature lets you allocate budget to different sections such as utilities, housing, food and drinks, personal care, and such. Just input your monthly income and spending amount and it will smartly allocate the amount on such sections. Presenting you a small folio of your spending lists with a budget. Which makes you conscious of your spending nature.
QR options and wallet loading
In terms of QR payments, you only have the FonePay QR option, as FonePay QRs are almost everywhere. But the wallet loading option is only available for eSewa which is a bummer for Khalti, IME Pay, and other wallet users. Also, transferring from your OrangeNxt account to any other bank costs you 11.30 charges per transaction using the FonePay medium. But the ConnectIPS option is arriving pretty soon too.

OrangeNXT Review: Final Thoughts
I must commend OrangeNXT for its unique concept in Nepal’s digital market. With its fully online setup and operations, it stands out. Features like the 5% interest scheme, no annual charges for the app, and an easy account opening process have made it my daily driver banking app. However, I do miss a couple of key features: cardless withdrawals and debit/credit card options.
Nepal isn’t entirely ready for a cashless economy yet, as cash is still the preferred mode of payment in many places. After discussing with OrangeNXT representatives, I learned that cardless withdrawals will be introduced in a few months, and an online credit card option is also in development. However, a physical debit card doesn’t seem to be on the horizon for now. Overall, I’d rate the platform a solid 6.5 out of 10. While it’s not perfect, the upcoming features are promising—so there’s something to look forward.
Apple’s Magic Mouse comes bundled with most of their desktops including iMacs and Mac Pros but if you are keen on getting one for your Macbook or perhaps even your iPad, you’ve arrived at the right spot. In this article, let’s take a quick glance at Apple’s multi-touch Magic Mouse (Gen 2), its price in Nepal, features, and compatibility.
Apple Magic Mouse 2 Overview
A brief history
The first Magic Mouse was released in 2009 with multi-touch capabilities. Later on, we got the Magic Mouse 2 in 2015 with rechargeable batteries and iPad support. Here, we talk about the latter in more detail.
No physical clicks
The Magic Mouse sports a button-less design with no scroll wheels in sight. You control it via touch and swipes much like a trackpad. The mouse does register left and right clicks but you can’t press both simultaneously. Scrolling is replaced by a (up/down) swipe gesture along with most other navigation features.
Besides the unusual choice of navigation, the design of the mouse might also not appeal to everyone. The overall profile is quite small at 2.1 x 5.7 x 11.3 cm (HxWxD) and it weighs below 100 grams. But while the contourless arch design is pleasantly aesthetic, many users have complained about strain and wrist fatigue during prolonged use.
Compatibility
Apple’s Magic Mouse 2 works seamlessly with devices running MacOS and iPadOS plays nicely with it as well. Windows laptops will recognize the device and pair via Bluetooth but you’ll have to tweak around and download 3rd party software to get it working properly. Compatible versions include MacOS X 10.11, iPadOS 13.4 and later.
While the first Magic Mouse used AA batteries, version 2 houses a rechargeable lithium cell inside that you charge via a Lighting cable. As the port is on the bottom side of the mouse, the device remains unusable during charging. Users report 3-4 weeks of battery life on a full charge.
Apple Magic Mouse Price in Nepal and Availability
The Magic Mouse 2 is available for purchase in Nepal via the Hukut Store. Apple Magic Mouse Price in Nepal is NPR 14,500.
MSI is a household name that is almost synonymous with gaming. They manufacture everything from headphones to motherboards to graphics cards and everything that can be related to gaming. They even sponsor several esports gaming communities, going as far as hosting one of their own gaming tournament. So, making great gaming laptops just seem obvious, doesn’t it?
MSI’s gaming laptops are arguably some of the best in the industry. Thanks to their aggressive pricing, killer looks, awesome cooling, and great use of RGB lighting, they basically have a cult following among gamers.
When it was first introduced in 2021, the Katana series was part of the Thin GF series. It has now outgrown GF to be a lineup of its own. The Thin GF series still exists as the base of MSI’s gaming laptop hierarchy, as it is meant to be a portable option. Katana, on the other hand, prioritizes performance and, while it is still on the cheaper side, costs more than its GF Thin counterpart.
Thin GF: Thin GF lineup is home to the most affordable gaming laptop that MSI currently makes. As the name suggests, these laptops are designed to offer gaming performance in a thin and light form factor.
Katana Series: Katana laptops get their name from Japanese Samurai warriors. It was designed by Tsuyoshi Nagano to represent blades and armor. Katana laptops are generally more advanced and powerful than Thin GF, although both are meant to be thin-and-light gaming laptops. They are the first to get the latest CPUs and GPUs, along with other gaming features like MUX Switch and 4-zone RGB keyboard.
The Sword series fits into the MSI gaming laptop hierarchy as a step above the Katana series. While it maintains the thin-and-light form factor, you get more advanced features and higher performance making it a suitable choice for those looking for a balance between portability and power. It is among the first to receive the latest CPUs and GPUs and comes with features like MUX Switch, and multi-zone RGB keyboard.
Cyborg Series Laptops
Moving along, the Cyborg series of MSI laptops incorporates a futuristic, mechanized exterior design. This gives them quite a different vibe in the sea of normal-looking laptops. These are powered by Intel Core processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX series Laptop GPUs. One of the unique features of the Cyborg series is the translucent parts on the keyboard and chassis, which allow you to see through parts of the internals. This series is designed to bring a cyberpunk-style gaming experience.
Coming to the Pulse series, this is where things start getting serious. Unlike the GF series, Pulse focuses solely on performance. The Pulse series is MSI’s attempt at bringing the high-end gaming experience to the mainstream audience. These laptops come in 15 and 17-inch variants. However, the former is more readily available in Nepal than the former.
The Vector GP series is among the top-performing laptop series from MSI. These laptops are targeted at engineers, scientists, and STEM users. They are designed for tasks that require high performance along with computational efficiency. Here, you get the latest processors Intel processors, including the high-end “HX” series. Together with NVIDIA’s graphics card and MSI’s overclocking technologies, they offer unprecedented performance.
MSI GE is a tier above the Vector GP series and caters to gamers that like to tinker with their laptops. The Raider GE has more of the “traditional gaming look” with the aggressive sharp line and RGB lighting.
Usually consisting of slight downgrades in terms of processor, graphics, and others compared to the premium Titan GT series, this one is great for those who seek great performance but don’t want to go all-in.
Prestige Series Business Laptops
Next up, we have the MSI Prestige series. These are mainly intended for students, programmers, corporate-level employees, and such. Laptops under the Prestige title are lightweight and can be perfect starter laptops. You can also do lightweight graphics designing on such machines, but that’s about it.
The “Modern” series from MSI is another shot at entry-level laptops by the company. It comes with a slightly less powerful processor, graphics, and other compromises to name a few. And like the one above, these are targeted toward students, programmers, general-purpose, and business-class users.
But in some cases, the Modern series even outclasses the costlier Prestige models in terms of connectivity options, battery endurance, and others. For now, MSI Nepal is selling 5 models of Modern laptops in Nepal. You can choose between Intel or AMD CPU. As you’d expect, these are power-efficient processors and, therefore, aren’t suitable for heavy-load usage like gaming. But there are also models with H series CPUs.
The new Summit Series by MSI is home to the company’s premium laptops for business and productivity. MSI is well known for its gaming laptop and hardware and now looks to conquer the business laptop segment with the Summit series. Portability and productivity are the two main areas where it excels.
Here, the MSI Summit series is further categorized into the E series and the B series. Both subcategories feature laptops of two screen sizes – 14-inch and 15.6-inch. Still, the E-series is the more advanced of the two as it comes with dedicated graphics cards and TPM 2.0 modules. Also, options for a touch display and 4K resolution are not available in B-series.
Starting off with a good MSI notebook, you can’t go wrong with the Modern 15 from 2023. It’s got the snappy Raptor Lake processor from Intel alongside integrated Iris GPU for day-to-day graphical needs. The 8GB of RAM does feel like MSI is holding back a little but it should be sufficient for your everyday user like office folks and students. The SSD is also a snappy NVMe one and you get 500GB of space to store documents and data. Finally, although the battery isn’t super promising with its 39Wh size, the FHD display shouldn’t push too many pixels to be very taxing. Well, the i5 processor also has tons of efficiency cores helping keep you going a bit longer. Overall, it’s a good pick among available MSI models in Nepal.
If you want the cream of the crop in the MSI realme, get the Raider GE68 HX with a powerful Core i9 HX CPU with an NVIDIA RTX 4070 running at its full TGP. It’s a monster of a machine that will plow through anything you can throw at it and with that comes the hefty price both figurately and literally. The Raider weighs more than 2.7 kilos and costs upwards of 3.4 lakhs. We suggest the Raider to gamers and editors alike who can make use of the powerful hardware. Besides the powerful CPU/GPU, there’s a crispy QHD screen running at 240Hz with minimal response times (<10ms) and plenty of storage. Our suggested configuration ships with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and 2 TB of Gen 4 SSD.
Although we don’t get a lot of new MSI laptops right now, the Cyborg 15 (2024) is one of the options if you want a go at the latest and greatest. It’s a gaming laptop with an emphasis on the portability side of things as well. So, along with the sci-fi aesthetics, you get a portable package weighing under 2 kilos. And while most MSI laptops are available with last year’s Raptor Lake chips, the Cyborg ships with Intel’s newer Meteor Lake Core Ultra 7 based on a newer and more efficient Intel 4 architecture. Since it’s a gaming laptop and all, we can’t forget about the GPU which is handled by NVIDIA’s RTX 4060 be it running only at 45W.
How to Choose an MSI Laptop in Nepal? [Mini-Guide]
MSI is a premium gaming brand, or that’s what the impression among people is. However, the company has forayed into different market segments and different price ranges. Although not all models arrive in the Nepali market, it can get a bit tricky to track the available models and choose the one that suits you the best.
All the MSI laptops fall under one of three broad categories— Gaming, Content Creation, and Business and Productivity. Within each category, different lineups cater to different price ranges. Each year, MSI refreshes these lineups with the latest components from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA. But not all models reach Nepal, and most that do are not very appealing for the price.
