      Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8s Elite (SM8735) chipset specifications have surfaced, revealing details about its CPU architecture, GPU, and potential performance benchmarks. In this article, we will discuss everything we know so far about the upcoming Snapdragon 8s Elite.

      Snapdragon 8s Elite Rumors

      CPU and GPU 

      Snapdragon 8s Elite

      The Snapdragon 8s Elite is expected to feature a 1+3+2+2 core configuration, consisting of one Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.21GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores running at 3.01GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores at 2.80GHz, and two additional Cortex-A720 cores at 2.02GHz.

      Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i Gen 10 (2025) announced with an OLED screen!

      Among the many refreshes at CES 2025, Lenovo also updated its IdeaPad Pro lineup with a new Pro 5i Gen Gen 10 with a powerful Intel processor and a beautiful OLED screen. Here’s let’s explore the new Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro Gen 10 (2025) alongside its features, and specs, with expected price in Nepal and availability. 

      Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i Gen 10 (2025) Overview

      Design and Display

      The Idepad Pro 5i is catered for those users who want an on-the-go productivity machine. As such, despite housing powerful H-series processors, it is quite sleek (<16mm thin) and easy to lug around (1.72 kg). It’s available in Luna Grey and Polar Blue colorways with an all-aluminum chassis.  

      Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i Gen 10 Design

      As for the display, you get a gorgeous OLED screen with a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The spacious 16” canvas paired with a high pixel density (~221 PPI) makes for an immersive viewing experience for both productivity as well as entertainment. The panel can dial down to as low as 30Hz (refresh rate) to preserve battery or can go up to 1100 nits (peak brightness) during movies to amplify immersion. The display is also X-Rite color calibrated out of the factory and covers 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut.

      Performance and Memory 

      The IdeaPad Pro 5i (2025) is an Intel Evo machine running up to a Core Ultra 9 H series processor. That’s a pretty beefy chip and can go up to 135W in the IdeaPad. There are no dedicated graphics in such a slim notebook but you do get Intels’ upgraded Arc graphics integrated alongside the CPU. 

      A similar story is the memory which is pretty fast (8533MHz) but non-upgradable. But 32GB of RAM alongside 1TB of NVME SSD should be plenty for most office and productivity needs. Nevertheless, there are dual M.2 slots for future expansion just in case.

      Battery and Extras

      The IdeaPad Pro 5i Gen 10 is running off a large 84Wh battery powered via the Type-C port at up to 100W. There’s another Thunderbolt 4 port as well, alongside two type-A ports, an SD reader, a full-sized HDMI, and an audio jack. The ultrabook also has WiFi 7 support for fast wireless connectivity. 

      On the top, there’s a 1080p IR webcam with Windows Hello support while you also get a dual speaker setup with Dolby Atmos. The keyboard and trackpad look pretty nice too with 1.5mm of travel and glass topping respectively.

      Nepali IT companies now allowed to invest abroad

      0

      The Nepali government has approved a decision allowing IT companies to invest and open branch offices abroad. The Cabinet approved the move on January 26, following amendments to the Foreign Regulation Act, 2019. This article will discuss the latest decision by the cabinet in more detail. 

      Foreign Investment for IT Companies Overview

      Whats new?

      IT Company

      The amendments to the law now enable Nepali companies to repatriate income earned from foreign markets. This legal change encourages global expansion for Nepali IT companies while supporting Nepal’s economic growth. The primary goal of this decision is to help Nepali IT companies compete internationally. In addition, it aims to generate foreign income, which is expected to strengthen Nepal’s economy.

      Process for Foreign Investment

      Companies looking to invest abroad will need to apply to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology. The Ministry will assess the company’s capacity before granting approval. After approval, Nepal Rastra Bank will assist with the foreign currency exchange process.

      Industry Reactions

      According to Kantipur, some industry experts welcomed the decision, seeing it as a positive step for the growth of the IT sector and a move towards achieving the $6 billion export target over the next decade. However, others raised concerns about the lack of clarity regarding earlier investment provisions and the potential for restrictions. There were calls for more flexible policies to manage investments and skilled manpower effectively.

      Economic Impact

      In 2022, IT exports contributed $515 million to Nepal’s economy. IT services accounted for 1.4% of GDP and 5.5% of the country’s foreign exchange reserves.

      Additional Provisions

      The government plans to offer tax benefits for IT companies operating in special economic zones, aiming to foster job creation and attract foreign contracts. This move is also expected to help maintain backend operations in Nepal.

      Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G launched in Nepal with some changes in camera and battery

      0

      The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G was unveiled a while ago in China and India. And this guy has gone official in Nepal with some changes to the camera and battery side. Let’s discuss more on the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G in further detail including its official price in Nepal.

      Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G Overview

      Design and Display

      Right from the get-go, it is pretty clear that Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is trying to emulate what the higher-end Note offering did last year. Among the available designs, a single purple color option sticks out the most with a vegan leather finish — similar to the Note 13 Pro+! Additionally, the phone comes with IP68 water and dust resistance — pretty reminiscent of you know which phone. It also dons a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the front adding to its toughness. The overall design has been overhauled with a reshaped and relocated camera island.

      Redmi Note 13 Pro Design

      We are getting a 6.67-inch 12-bit OLED screen with 1.5K resolution on the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G. Moreover, it is capable of up to 120Hz refresh rate, 3,000 nits peak brightness, and 480Hz touch sampling rate. In the meantime, the instantaneous touch sampling rate on the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G is much higher at 2,560Hz. Not only that, but it also offers wet hands touch support, 1,920Hz PWM dimming, DCI-P3 color gamut, HDR10+ and has a triple certification from TÜV Rheinland for eye protection features.

      Performance

      Along with the aesthetic, the Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G gets an upgrade on the performance side of things as well. Firstly, the new phone houses the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra, which is decently better than the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 on its predecessor. It is available in two configurations, those being: 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB. Likewise, the battery is 5,110 mAh. However, the charging speed has dropped to 45W from 67W, which is still plenty fast.

      Camera and the rest

      The camera department gets some adjustments too. Xiaomi has once again gone for a 200MP main sensor on the global variant, ditching the 50MP Sony LYT-600 sensor found on the Indian and Chinese variants. Other than that, the auxiliary lenses remain unchanged with an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro shooter. Meanwhile, the selfie snapper is now a 20MP unit instead of the 16MP on the previous iteration.

      Redmi Note 13 Pro Camera

      The Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G supports dual SIM 5G cellular and dual-band WiFi 6 connectivity. Furthermore, you get Bluetooth v5.4 alongside high-quality codecs like LDAC and LHDC-V. There is also NFC, five-way navigation support, and IR blaster as additional wireless connectivity options. Other than that, there is a stereo speaker setup and an X-axis linear motor to enhance the gaming and multimedia experience.
