iPhone 15 Pro Price in Nepal 2025 [Updated]

2

Apple announced the iPhone 15 lineup in Nepal in October of 2023. And it has received a new price cut in Nepal including the iPhone 15 Pro Max. So, in this article, let’s talk about the iPhone 15 Pro, its features, specifications, and the new official price in Nepal.

iPhone 15 Pro Overview:

Design and Build 

The iPhone 15 Pro, much like its bigger brother, sports a titanium alloy build. Because of this, it is lighter on top of being stronger than the iPhone 14 Pro. All iPhones this year, have a slightly curved design that doesn’t dig into the hand, unlike last year’s boxy edges. The Pro iPhones also replace the alert switch with a new and programmable “Action Button”.

iPhone 15 Proa design

As for the display, not much has changed. And on paper, it is the exact same as last year’s iPhone 14 Pro. You’re looking at a 6.1-inch “Super Retina XDR” OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion and 2,000 nits brightness. The LTPO panel can vary from 1Hz to 120Hz whenever necessary. It has got the same “Ceramic Shield” protection that we’ve been seeing since the iPhone 12.

But one thing that’s different is its bezels, Apple has managed to fit the same screen in a slightly smaller chassis leading to minimal bezels on the iPhone 15 Pro.

Performance 

Under the hood, the iPhone 15 Pro gets the new A17 Pro chipset. It’s now the second year that Apple has decided to keep newer chipsets exclusive to the “Pro” iPhones.

As such, the more affordable iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus lack the same horsepower as the 15 Pro. According to Apple, this 3nm-based processor has 20% improved GPU performance over the A16 Bionic. And, the neural engine is twice as fast. Overall, it seems like the new chip is about 10% faster than its predecessor. The A17 Pro also houses a USB 3 controller needed for faster USB-C charging/transfer speeds. 

Though it isn’t mentioned on Apple’s website, the iPhone 15 Pro is confirmed to have 8GB of RAM versus the 6GB on last year’s 14 Pro. The base 128GB configuration doesn’t see a change, unlike the iPhone 15 Pro Max which now starts with 256GB.

Cameras

Moving onto the cameras, the iPhone 15 Pro is an outlier here. The vanilla iPhone 15 and 15 Plus see a bump in megapixel count, whereas the 15 Pro Max features an improved 5X telephoto camera. The 15 Pro, on the other hand, doesn’t receive any notable hardware improvements.

iPhone 15 Pro Cameras

The main 48MP primary, the 12MP ultrawide, and the 12MP telephoto are all the same as last year’s. On the front, the 12MP selfie cam is accompanied by a true depth sensor for FaceID.

But we can’t forget about the software though. A neat feature is the ability to capture depth information while taking pictures so that you can apply and adjust portrait blur later down the road. And while that sounds cool, it’s not exclusive to the 15 Pro models.

Rest of the specs

USB-C has finally replaced the aging Lighting port on all the new iPhones. As I stated earlier, the Pro models have faster USB-3 speeds (up to 10 gigabits per second) compared to the 15 and 15 Plus (USB 2.0 speeds). For wireless connections, you get WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, dual-frequency GPS, and NFC. Ultra-wideband (UWB) connections might see an improvement with the second-gen UWB chip.

  • Dimension: 146.6 x 70.6 x 8.25mm, 187 grams
  • Display: 6.1‑inch OLED, Super Retina XDR with 120Hz ProMotion

Macbook Air M4 expected to launch by early 2025

0

With Apple constantly working on new updates, tech fans are already looking ahead to the next MacBook Air. While we don’t know everything yet, early reports are starting to give us a good idea of what the MacBook Air M4 might look like, including when it might drop and what design changes, if any, it will have.

Apple MacBook Air M4 Rumors

Design

Macbook Air M4

As for the design, the MacBook Air M4 is expected to keep the same look as the 2022 M2 models. It’s rumored that there won’t be any major changes to the chassis or display size. The M4 will likely come in 13-inch and 15-inch versions, staying true to the current form factor. Production is set to begin soon, with display shipments expected to start in October. The biggest update will probably be the new M4 chip, which should offer better performance compared to the previous models. According to MacRumors, possible new features may include a Center Stage camera and an upgrade from Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Release Date

The MacBook Air M4 is expected to launch in Q1 of 2025, likely between January and March. Since the M3 models came out in March 2024, March 2025 seems like a strong possibility. While it’s possible for it to launch a bit earlier, a release early in 2025 seems more likely. It should be available well before the back-to-school season.

OPPO Find X8 Ultra will arrive with a bigger camera bump

We had been following what going on with the Oppo Find X8 series. The base model and the Pro variant have made it out to the real world. However, the Ultra phone will be available to its home market only. There has been some development on the Oppo Find X8 Ultra recently. Let’s talk about it!

OPPO Find X8 Ultra Rumours Round-up

Cameras

Oppo Find X7 Ultra went heavy on the cameras, and it seems the trend will continue on the Find X8 Ultra. This phone will have multispectral sensors that will improve the colours of the cameras.

The optics department will remain mostly unchanged, meaning the upcoming flagship will continue to sport four lenses with a 50MP sensor all-around. Two of these sensors will be periscope shooters; one for 3x optical zoom, and a 6x optical zooming for the other.

Oppo Find X7 Ultra Camera Casual

Additionally, the main camera is expected to feature a 1-inch type sensor with two different focal lengths. So, the camera bump is going to be bit more pronounced. In the meantime, they also said a much higher resolution sensor — exceeding 200MP, was in tests.

Design and Display

According to DCS, the Oppo Find X8 Ultra will have a similar aesthetic to the Find X8 Pro. A metal middle frame with chamfered transitions. The upcoming Oppo flagship is also expected to have an IP68 as well as an IP68 rating along with a single-point ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. Overall, it is expected to be thinner and lighter than its predecessor X7 Ultra.

Oppo Find X7 Ultra Rear Design

The leaker posted the details on the phone’s screen months earlier stating the display would be a micro-quad-curved BOE OLED panel stretching 2K in resolution with improved brightness and PWM dimming. DCS recently doubled down on the claim and shed some more light too. They say the Oppo Find X8 Ultra will have a 6.82-inch display offering a 120Hz refresh rate.

Performance

There were talks of the base and Pro model going with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400, while the Oppo Find X8 Ultra would opt for the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Given the fact that the former half of the information came to fruition, it seems rather obvious that the other half will also be true. Furthermore, considering the significant jump in performance the recent Qualcomm chip offers, it would indeed be fitting for an “Ultra” phone.

Other than that, we can expect the phone to equip a storage and memory combo of up to 16GB + 1TB since that is the current industry standard. Since it is an Ultra model, a step up to 24GB RAM, doesn’t sound too farfetched either.

Battery and Magnetic Accessories

Digital Chat Station shared a detailed listing of the battery capacity of the entire Oppo Find X8 series. Following the launch of the lower two phones, they stood corrected. However, those phones had higher battery capacity than what the leaker reported. They said the Oppo Find X8 Ultra would have a 6,000 mAh Si/c battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging support.

OPPO Find X8 Ultra Launch and Availability

The Oppo Find X8 Ultra will launch in the first half of 2025 alongside a mini version of the series. However, this phone will not make a global appearance.

Ultima Boom 181 ANC launched in Nepal with ANC and 45 hours playback

0

Ultima has launched the Boom 181 ANC in Nepal. The Nepalese Lifestyle company is claiming it to be the best TWS under NPR 2500, which is a bold claim. In this article, we’ll walk through the specs, features, and official price in Nepal.

Ultima Boom 181 ANC

Design and Build 

To begin with, the Ultima Boom 181 ANC boasts an in-ear design with a long stem. The case is semi-oval in shape with Ultima branding in the middle and a battery indicator above it. On the bottom, you get a Type-C port to juice up and a reset button. Talking of the fit, it actually feels lightweight and the default ear muff feels quite alright to my ears. Overall, If I have to rate this thing on looks and feel, it does get 4 stars out of  5 from my side, for the price.

Ultima Boom 181 ANC Design

Audio 

In terms of audio, the Boom 181 packs a 13mm High-fidelity driver. And Ultima makes a really bold claim with this guy, terming it as the best earbuds under 2,500 rupees. It even provides 100% cash back, if a customer can find a better TWS in this range. Well, we test it, and here’s what we have found. By default, the audio is a bit on the boomy side, while after tuning the EQ on the Ultima Link app, it got a lot better. Overall, it can be called very decent audio for the price!

Moreover, these earbuds sport all codecs as stated by Ultima, which should be SBC and AAC. It is very unlikely that a budget TWS can boast all codecs. But what’s sure is that you get ANC support here, which can cancel out the outdoor noise by up to 32dB.

Connectivity and Battery

The new Ultima Boom 131 pairs with your smartphone via Bluetooth v5.3 and the Ultima Link app. This app also lets you tune your custom equalizers as aforementioned. Furthermore, it also supports fast charging support, providing 2 hours of backup with just 10 minutes of charge.

Best Mediums for Bank Transfers in Nepal

0

Mobile banking has become an integral part of the digital and cashless society. We use such platforms almost daily. While sending money to the same bank is free, there are charges when it comes to a different bank. So, I have curated all the possible ways to make a bank transfer in Nepal. Without further ado, let’s head straight into the best medium ways for bank transfers in Nepal (Online Fund Transfer).

Best Mediums for Bank Transfers in Nepal (Online Fund Transfer)

Before stepping in, bank transfers hereinafter means online transferring money from your bank to a different bank. Plus, it doesn’t include the business or PAN-registered QRs you normally find in stores, cafes, and hotels. Because scanning such QRs doesn’t take extra charges from the senders’ end.

Through Mobile Banking Apps

1. FonePay Direct by F1 Soft

FonePay Direct is likely the most used platform for bank transfers in Nepal. Firstly, it lets you transfer money from your account to other banks using their phone number. You don’t need to input a lengthy account number here, saving you some time. Plus, if you want to do it the old-school way, you can also choose the “Account Number” option to satisfy your skeptic mind, who doesn’t trust the other way. Talking of the charges, Fonepay takes 10 + 1.38 rupees (VAT) for all sorts of transfers.

FonePay Direct Charges
Rs. 10 -10,0000  Rs. 11.3

Best Ways for bank Transfers in Nepal- FonePay Direct

2. ConnectIPS by NCHL

And I assume, ConnectIPS also doesn’t need an introduction. This state-backed PSO by NCHL is also a very popular medium for bank transfers these days. It’s available in all major banks and does the same thing as FonePay Direct but at a cheaper charge. But it does require you to input the account number if you are using it on a mobile banking app. While, if you use the official ConnectIPS app, you can do it the mobile number way too but the receiver should also be a ConnectIPS verified user.

ConnectIPS Charges
Up to Rs. 500 Rs. 2.26
From Rs. 501 to Rs. 5,000 Rs. 4.52
From Rs. 5,001 to Rs. 200,000 Rs. 9.04

Best Ways for bank Transfers in Nepal- ConnectIPS

3. InstaFund Transfer by NPS

InstaFund Transfer might be something new for most of the users. But if you are a NIC Asia Mobank user, this feature has been there for quite some time now. It was and it still, is the cheapest PSO to transfer money from one bank to another. Developed by Nepal Payment Solution, this transfer medium works for various banks such as NIC Asia, NMB Bank, Nabil Bank, Machhapuchre Bank, and more. Currently, only a few banks have integrated this PSO inside their mobile banking app such as NIC Asia, Jyoti Bikas Bank, and Sanima Bank as far as I know.

NPS InstaFund Transfer

But one important thing to note is that the fund transfer rates are comparatively cheaper on the NIC Asia mobile banking app while the same thing on other banks’s mobile banking apps may charge you higher. I haven’t had all of those partner banks available to test it out but I hope, a uniform charge rate will be applied all over soon.

InstaFund Transfer by NPS Charges
Up to Rs. 500 Rs. 1.13
From Rs. 501 to Rs. 5,000 Rs. 2.26
From Rs. 5,001 to Rs. 200,000 Rs. 3.39

Online Fund Transfer to Bank Via Digital Wallets

Doing bank transfers is also possible through digital wallets like eSewa, IME Pay, Khalti, MyPay, and such. As most of us are also used to using digital wallets, one can easily transfer the wallet money to a desired bank. eSewa and IME Pay offer free bank transfers to their linked bank accounts while Khalti only provides a 5000 rupees free transfer per month to your linked bank account.

But when it comes to transferring to a non-linked account or a bank account different than your linked account, most of the digital wallets charge a flat 10 rupees charge.

Best Mediums for Bank Transfers in Nepal: Conclusion

So, we have come to the conclusion part. The cheapest medium for online fund transfer becomes the InstaFund Transfer by NPX but its charges are sadly not uniform across all partner banks. Meanwhile, FonePay Direct is the most expensive way of transferring money while ConnectIPS stays the middle ground. On the other hand, digital wallets are also the swift mediums for doing the same task, while incurring charges for transferring money to non-linked bank accounts. At the end of the day, it also depends on the mobile banking app you’re using and your personal preference. Buy yeah, InstaFund Transfer is still the technically cheapest medium, I’d say.

Best laptops for students in Nepal [2025]

Buying a laptop is an exciting experience, and unboxing a brand-new laptop feels incredible, especially when it’s packed with great specs. But here’s the thing: the search for the perfect laptop can be a long and consuming journey that occupies your thoughts all day long.

These kinds of irrational, anxiety-inducing thoughts plague many students’ decisions. To address this issue, we have compiled a list of the best laptops for students in Nepal, ranging from 40K to 150K. Students can choose based on their needs and budget. Let’s dive in.

Best Laptop For Students in Nepal Conclusion

There is no one-fits-all laptop for everyone, preferences differ among students, just like it does with anyone else. Some might prefer, performance-oriented heavy laptops, while others prefer portability. After all, the laptop market is extremely huge in Nepal and elsewhere as well. Choosing a laptop comes down to students’ needs after all. If you are an engineering or IT-related student, who does coding, AI, and editing, we recommend you to go after laptops with dedicated GPUs. Whereas if you are a management student, go for ultrabooks, as they come portable with solid performance for everyday multitasking.

Honor X7c Price in Nepal [Updated]

0

Honor dropped X60 series in the Chinese market. Elsewhere, the company dropped the new rendition of the X7 series which you can apparently wash with water and there will be no problems, whatsoever. And this guy is officially available in Nepal. Let’s take a deeper look at the Honor X7c along with its official price in Nepal.

Honor X7c Overview

Design and Display

Honor X7c has taken a step away from its predecessor in terms of design. Now it looks similar to its lower series member — for instance: Honor X6b. It ships in Forest Green, Midnight Black, and Moonlight White colors. The former has a vegan leather finish with a chequered pattern while the latter has a marble-like imprint on the back. Meanwhile, black is the basic option among the bunch.

Honor X7c Colours The company boasts highly about the resilience of this phone. It has cushioning architecture in place that apparently enhances its impact resistance. On top of that, it boasts 5-star Swiss SGS Premium Performance Certification for Drop and Crush resistance. Moreover, the Honor X7c is IP64-rated and survived a 3-minute washing test. Regardless, we suggest you don’t go all out “Gopi Bahu” and wash the thing with soap and detergent. 👀 For display, it has a 6.77-inch TFT LCD with HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. This phone can switch between a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 850 nits of brightness. It also offers a colour depth of 16.7 million.

Performance

The Honor X7c promotional material says the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor is present under the helm. However, the specs sheet mentions the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 as its primary driver. Given that, it is likely that the phone is available in two silicon choices depending on the region. Comparatively speaking, the former ranks higher among the two (84 vs 114 — as of writing this article). Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 This phone is available in Nepal with a sole 8GB + 256GB trim. Users can virtually expand the memory on this thing with Honor RAM Turbo Technology. However, it is unclear whether there is storage expansion support or not. In the tank, it has a large 6,000 mAh battery with 35W charging support. Additionally, it appears the cell capacity differs according to the region as well. This is because the Azerbaijan site lists the phone has a 5,200 mAh battery instead.

Camera and the rest

The Honor X7c has a dual camera setup on the back consisting of a large 108MP primary shooter and a 2MP depth sensor. The latter serves almost no purpose, leaving you with a sole functional camera. Likewise, it has an 8MP snapper on the front for selfies and face recognition. Honor X7c Magic Capsule Software-wise, it boots on MagicOS 8.0 based on Android 14 and comes with nifty features, such as Magic Capsule and Quick Access with a three-finger swipe down. Lastly, it is a 4G-only phone with dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC support.
