I still remember the long wait I had to go through, standing in line for over an hour to get my voter’s ID back in 2079 B.S. Thankfully, things have changed, and now you can apply for a Voter’s ID from the comfort of your home. How? Let me walk you through the ways to apply for a voter’s ID online.
Steps to apply for a voter’s ID online
The process for applying for an online voter ID is managed by the Election Commission of Nepal (“Nirbachan Aayog, Nepal”). Here’s how you can apply:
Before you start, keep in mind that you’ll still need to visit the Election Commission office in person to have your photo, fingerprints, or biometrics taken. Additionally, you will need to bring the following documents with you:
A form with the 9-digit application number, that is generated after entering your personal details online.
Your citizenship certificate and a copy.
A migration certificate and a copy (if your permanent address is different).
A marriage registration certificate and a copy (for married women).
Note: You must fill out the application details in Nepali. If you need help with this, you can open a new “Unicode” tab and translate the words you need. Moreover, you can also fill up the form from your smartphone using Hamro Nepali Keyboard which is a lot easier way.
You will see five different categories. Select the second option: Online Pre-Enrollment (Matadaata Namawali Pre-registration ra Adhyabadhik).
Click on New Registration.
Enter your mobile number and the OTP (One-Time Password) sent to your phone.
On the next page, select the “Naya Darta“ option. You will be presented with a set of instructions. Please review these carefully before proceeding.
After completing these steps, you will be redirected to the application portal, where you can continue your Voter’s ID application.

Application process
Fill out basic details: Enter information such as your province, district, metropolitan area, ward number, and constituency.
Personal information: You will be prompted to enter additional personal details on the next cateogry.
Citizenship details: In the third section, enter your citizenship information, including your National ID number (NID).
Final information: Continue filling out all required fields.
Final form: Once you’ve completed the form, you will be able to download and print the final application form (third image below). Take this printed form along with you to the Election Commission office and get your voter’s ID.
When you first hear the term “online,” you might think that the entire process can be completed sitting in a single place which is not entirely true. You will have to visit the Election Commission for the final output. While filling out the form online is certainly more convenient and saves time compared to waiting in long lines, it would be even more efficient if we didn’t need to visit the office for biometrics and photos. However, the online application process is a significant improvement, making it much easier to apply for your voter’s ID.
Today, I have the new Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 which costs INR 79,999 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (review) which is more than double the price. So… which one should you buy?
‘Cause as much as I love large-screen foldables, and that magical feeling of being able to carry a smartphone and a tablet in one device, the fact that they’re so damn expensive breaks my heart. Seriously. It’s been what? Like 5 – 6 years since the first foldable phones arrived? And most bookstyle foldables like this thing still cost an arm and a leg.
But as I mentioned in the very beginning, the Phantom V Fold 2 wants to change the game. It’s a lot more affordable than all the popular kids on the block, and that had me thinking,
Are affordable foldables actually worth it? And what exactly are you missing out on here compared to something that costs twice as much?
Which is why I tested it alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6 for a week straight to figure out the truth. And help you make the right buying decision if you are looking to buy a foldable phone in 2024. I’ve got a lot of things to cover so let’s get going.
I wanna start with the design and… do I even need to state the obvious here? It’s almost a little sad to see how a foldable veteran like Samsung hasn’t figured out the “normal aspect ratio” thing yet, while a newbie like Tecno got it right straight away.
There’s really no point in dragging it out so I’ll just say it, the 21:9 cover display on the Phantom V Fold 2 feels a lot easier to use and a lot like a regular smartphone. Whereas that somewhat-narrow aspect ratio on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 still finds a way to bite me in the butt every now and then. Be it with mistypes when I’m writing lengthy messages or with just how the user interface itself can feel a bit stuffy in general.
But when it comes to the actual build quality, I was totally expecting Samsung to walk all over Tecno, to be honest. Mostly since I clearly remember how last year’s Phantom V Fold was pretty disappointing in this regard.
That thing was super heavy, super bulky, its leather back felt kinda cheap, and Tecno hadn’t even worked out how to make the hinge freestand at different angles. I didn’t get to make its separate video but yeah, that was my first impression of the Phantom V Fold after messing around with it for a couple of days.
The second time’s the charm
But I don’t know what the engineers at Tecno have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner ‘cause they have somehow managed to address every one of those design flaws on the second try.
The Phantom V Fold 2 is still slightly heavier than Fold 6 but I’d say it’s mu…ch more manageable now.
It’s got a much nicer vegan leather back this time while its hinge can also open at different angles. Just like the Z Fold 6. Tecno even says this hinge has been tested for 400,000 folds — literally two times more compared to Samsung’s — although I have to say the Fold 6 has a superior hinge by some margin.
So the funny thing is, the Phantom’s hinge is already struggling to stay still if I just open it like… halfway through. And I especially don’t like how it makes this unsettling noise, like you’re squishing a tomato or something, whenever I try to close it.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is also the sturdier of the two overall. It’s got armor aluminum frames, stronger second-gen Victus glass protecting both sides, and IP48 dust and water resistance. Instead of the IP54 rating on Tecno’s foldable, which is technically more durable against dust and other debris, by the way.
Okay, so I’ve already talked about how better the Phantom V Fold 2’s cover display is — aspect ratio-wise — and would you believe me if I said this thing has a less noticeable crease too?
Well… it’s true. The Fold 6’s crease is almost like a groove with how deep it is, while I often forget about the crease on Tecno actually. Unless I consciously run my fingers across the middle of the screen or look for it from certain angles for some reason. Once again, I feel like this is something Samsung should’ve figured out a few years ago but it is what it is.
Cover display

Phantom V Fold 2
Galaxy Z Fold 6
And just like the Fold 6, the Phantom V Fold 2’s main display also has stylus support.
It doesn’t come bundled inside the box and I can’t even stick it around the back of the phone because of this giant, rectangular camera module taking up all the space, although I gotta say it’s quite fun to use. For everything from quickly jotting down notes to doodling my ideas, taking screenshots, and so much more.
A couple of great displays
The actual display quality of both these foldables is pretty great though.
From colors and contrast to viewing angles and touch response, Tecno’s latest foldable keeps up with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 perfectly well. Yet, in one way or the other, I have to give it to Samsung in the display department. It can get much brighter when I need it to and I get to watch HDR-mastered videos on the Fold 6 wherever I want as well. On Netflix, YouTube, or the ones I have downloaded.
Unlike how the Phantom V Fold 2 can only play HDR videos on YouTube right now. I found that its auto-brightness doesn’t work well all the time either, while there’s also this weird bug where the display automatically starts getting dim after some time when I’m shooting videos. Not just that but the Fold 6 has a leg up on Tecno with its tight, crisp haptics and a set of stereo speakers that sound considerably fuller, louder, and more detailed too.
So yeah, it’s not like the Phantom V Fold 2 is lagging behind by a lot but you can clearly see bits of Tecno’s cost-cutting techniques here and there.
Performance
MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ 5G (4nm)
12GB RAM, 512GB storage (non-expandable)
Android 14 with HiOS 14 on top
2 years of OS and 3 years of security upgrades
And that is probably most evident in the performance side of things since this guy is powered by the same Dimensity 9000+ chip as last year’s Phantom V Fold. Which was already a couple of generations older at that point. So I don’t think there’s any room for surprise when I say that the Fold 6 — with its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor — completely wipes the floor with the V Fold 2 no matter what benchmark you look at.
Even in all of my gaming tests, Samsung pulled ahead by a comfortable margin in every. single. game. The Phantom V Fold 2 is perfectly fast enough, perfectly smooth enough, and perfectly powerful enough to keep up with all my work, although I can’t help but imagine how awesome things would’ve been if Tecno had gone with at least Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 this time.
How’s the software?
Alright.
So the main reason why you’d wanna get a foldable is obviously because of what’s capable with that massive display, right? And while I absolutely love how Tecno has pretty much nailed the hardware, I was quite worried that its software wouldn’t be up to the task.
I guess I had pretty good reasons to be worried. ‘Cause as someone who has used foldables from different companies like OnePlus, Honor, OPPO, and Xiaomi, I still find Samsung’s software game to be the best in the business. So Tecno had pretty gigantic shoes to fill if the Phantom V Fold 2 was ever going to change my opinion.
And while Tecno’s “HiOS” skin isn’t nearly as well polished as Samsung’s One UI, I must admit that it’s a lot better and a lot of fun to use than I originally thought. The pre-installed bloatware apps kinda ruined my initial impressions but besides that, I love that Tecno has tried its best to bring every feature I could possibly want from a foldable phone.
I’m pretty sure some of that credit also goes to Google since Android itself has gotten a lot more foldable-friendly over the years but yeah. The Phantom V Fold 2 is a proper multitasking beast with all the features like splitscreen mode, floating window, app pairs, app continuity, and even a taskbar like on Windows and Mac systems.
Of course, the Z Fold 6 can do it all too. And it can do it all better than Tecno.
One UI’s software experience remains unmatched.
So with the Phantom V Fold 2, I can open two apps side by side and also re-arrange their layout if I want. Whereas on the Fold 6, Samsung actually lets me run three apps at a time. This didn’t bother me at all, to be honest, since I’ve rarely had to multitask that bad but the one thing I really hope Tecno figures out soon is where I can save app pairs on this guy.
Multitasking
1 of 2
Tecno Phantom V Fold 2
Galaxy Z Fold 6
You see, I frequently open Chrome, YouTube, and some note-taking applications at once when I’m researching something. And I can easily launch them all at once on the Fold 6 with a simple shortcut on the homescreen, the side panel, or the recents menu. But that is only accessible on the recents page on this Tecno foldable, which makes it a little less intuitive for me.
Anyway, even when it comes to generative AI features, I’d say Tecno has done a pretty fantastic job to keep up with Samsung. And except for that “Circle to Search” thing, the Phantom V Fold 2 has just about all the AI stuff there is on the Fold 6. Just with a different name.
This includes summarizing web pages, making photo edits using AI, transforming simple doodles into “artistic” images, and even real-time call translation. That last one only works with Arabic and French languages for now, and I hope Tecno adds other options like Hindi, Spanish, Mandarin, and so on in the coming days.
… but a terrible software commitment
The only thing about Tecno’s software experience that I’m utterly disappointed with has to do with updates ‘cause… the Phantom V Fold 2 only has two major Android upgrades and three years of security updates to its name. That is worse than some budget Android phones and nowhere near the 7+7 years of updates Samsung promises for the Fold 6.
Cameras
Triple camera setup at the back
50MP main, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP telephoto
32MP selfie (cover display), 32MP (main display)
Okay.
I wanna talk about their cameras now and instead of going through all the photos and nitpicking things one by one, I’m gonna give it to you straight:
the Phantom V Fold 2’s cameras are impressive, but inconsistent.
This thing actually has a fairly capable camera system, including three 50MP sensors at the back and a couple of 32MP front-facing cameras. And in some cases, I definitely prefer its images over that from the Fold 6.

Despite all this, I often noticed that Samsung’s post-processing game is simply too far ahead of Tecno. Especially in terms of handling things like contrast levels, highlights, dynamic range, sharpness, and also that consistency across the lenses. The Fold 6 does tend to shoot a bit punchier, a bit saturated images as always, but it ends up looking quite pleasing so I don’t mind.

And maybe Tecno could’ve gone with a longer focal length for its telephoto camera as well since I don’t find this 2x lens to be versatile enough for anything. Whether when I wanna take some zoom shots out on the street or when I wanna shoot some portraits.

That reminds me, the Fold 6 is also much better with human subjects compared to the Phantom V Fold 2. It maintains a nicer subject focus and a more natural-looking skin tone in both portraits and selfies. And I found that it’s pretty much a one-sided battle in the video department too.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the better video phone as well.
Both of ‘em can shoot at up to 4k 60 fps from all three of their cameras. But unlike the smooth and steady videos from the Galaxy Z Fold 6, Tecno’s videos are just too wobbly. Stepping it down to 4k 30 fps does improve the stabilization but the overall video quality is still better on Samsung. By a long shot.
Battery
5750 mAh battery (70W charging)
15W wireless charging
What’s… left? Oh yeah, the battery life.
So I was honestly super excited and super hopeful about the Phantom V Fold 2 here since it has a gigantic 5,750 mAh battery. That’s literally the biggest battery on a foldable phone, and over 30% larger than the Fold 6’s tiny 4,400 mAh unit.
Then again, I don’t know what’s going on ‘cause I’m still getting only 5.5 – 6 hours of screen time on average under medium to heavy use. Which is just like half an hour more than what I’ve been getting on the Fold 6. I didn’t notice any significant battery drain overnight so Tecno really should figure out battery optimization on this thing.
At least it fills up pretty quickly. The included 70W charger takes it from 1 – 100% in just 45 minutes, while the Fold 6 takes double the time for a complete refill. And besides wired charging, both of them also support 15W wireless charging.
Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 review: Conclusion
So all in all, I guess it’s perfectly clear that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is the better foldable of the two. In almost every single way. It’s built better, it looks better, it has better performance, better software experience, better cameras, and a whole lot more. And it goes without saying that if money is not a problem, then expensive foldables like the Fold 6 still offer the best, most reliable experience overall.
But let me just say that what Tecno has managed to deliver with the Phantom V Fold 2 for almost half the price is nothing short of magical. And what could very well be the start of the “flagship killer” era in the foldable world. It obviously makes a bunch of compromises across the board, although considering the price point, I’m mostly fine with them.
I’m kinda worried about its hinge situation — as I discussed before — while Tecno should be doing a lot better than just “2+3” years of software commitment as well. But if “price” had been holding you back from getting a foldable all these years, I really think the Phantom V Fold 2 is a great place to start.

Losing a laptop can be very stressful, and the chances of finding it? Minimal. But hey, that does not mean it is impossible. There are a few ways you can adapt (beforehand) to track your lost laptop. In this article, we’ll walk you through various ways to track your laptop if it goes missing.
Tracking a lost laptop
Use Built-in Tracking Software
Laptops provide you with GPS tracking software that comes pre-installed on your device.
Find My Device (Windows)
Windows 10 and 11 offer a built-in “Find My Device” feature that allows you to track your laptop if it goes missing. But let me make this clear to you, this isn’t a last-minute thing. You should have enabled this feature before the device went missing. Once and if your laptop is on and connects to the internet, you can track its location.
Here are the steps to track your lost Window Laptop:
Go to the Microsoft Device Page:
Open a web browser on another device (any smartphone or another computer).
Log in using the Microsoft account that is linked to the stolen or lost laptop.
Select the Device:
After logging in, you will see a list of devices associated with your Microsoft account.
Find your stolen laptop from the list and select it.
View the Location:
If the laptop is online and connected to the internet, you will see its current location on a map. This is done through GPS or IP address triangulation (note that the accuracy may vary).
Note: If your lost laptop isn’t connected to the internet, this tracking feature won’t work until it does.
Find My (macOS)
Similarly, if you are a Mac user, macOS offers you the “Find My Mac” feature through iCloud. If this feature is enabled on your Mac, you can track its location once it connects to the internet.
Here are the steps to track your lost Mac:
Use Find My on Another Device:
Open a web browser on any device (smartphone, tablet, or another computer).
Log in using your Apple ID (the one linked to your lost Mac).
Enter your password and two-factor authentication code if prompted.
Select Your Mac:
Once logged in, you’ll see a map displaying all devices linked to your Apple ID.
Select your lost Mac from the list of devices.
View the Location:
If your Mac is online and connected to the internet, you’ll be able to see its location on the map.
You can also view the battery level, which may give you an idea of how recently the device was active.
Note: If your Mac is offline, tracking won’t work until it connects to the internet.
Use anti-theft software
If you haven’t set up built-in tracking software or if you’re looking for more powerful tracking options, you can rely on third-party anti-theft software. These applications can help you track your laptop, lock it, and even erase its data remotely. Some of the popular options include Prey and LoJack (now Absolute Software).
Prey Anti-Theft Software
Prey is an anti-theft solution that allows you to track and control your laptop if it’s lost or stolen. To use Prey, you’ll need to install it on your laptop ahead of time and set up an account. The software has the “Missing” mode which will send reports including location, pictures, and screenshots on laptops BUT for this again the device MUST be on and connected to the internet.
How Prey works?
Install the Prey client on your laptop ( you can get it on the Play Store or App Store)
Create a Prey account and link to your device.
Then log into your Prey account from any device and track its location.
You can also remotely lock the laptop, display a message, or wipe the data.
Not to mention, you should have this device installed on your laptop before it gets lost or stolen. There’s no point in last-minute crying.
LoJack (Absolute Software)
LoJack, now known as Absolute Software, is another anti-theft solution embedded into your laptop’s firmware.
It operates silently in the background and provides real-time tracking. If your laptop gets stolen, you can log into your online account remotely lock your device, and delete sensitive files keeping them safe. Once this software receives a theft or lost report, it will switch to theft mode and accelerate Monitoring Centre communication when it gets connected to the internet and geolocate the device via GPS. However, this is a paid software.
Install the LoJack software for your laptop and activate it.
Once activated, LoJack runs silently, tracking your laptop’s location even if it’s offline.
If your laptop is stolen, you can activate LoJack via your online account or by contacting Absolute Software.
LoJack uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular signals to track your laptop. You can remotely lock it, wipe data, and track its real-time movement.
Check your laptop’s IP address
If your laptop connects to the Internet, you might be able to track its IP address—let me repeat, you MIGHT! However, this method is more technical and less reliable than using built-in tracking software or anti-theft apps.
How to Check the IP Address:
Check the login activity or device access logs if you’ve logged into any online accounts (such as Google, Dropbox, or other services). Some services allow you to view the IP addresses from which your account was accessed.
If the laptop connects to Wi-Fi, the IP address can give you a general idea of the location, but it is not as precise as GPS-based tracking.
Use a BIOS password
A BIOS password is another layer of security you can enable on your laptop. While it doesn’t directly help you track the laptop, it can prevent unauthorized users from accessing the device. It is responsible for booting up the computer before the operating system loads. By setting a BIOS password, you can prevent anyone from starting the laptop unless they know the password. While this doesn’t track the laptop, it acts as a deterrent and adds an extra layer of protection if a thief tries to use or sell the laptop.
Conclusion
Tracking a lost laptop is more challenging than tracking a smartphone, but there are several ways you can attempt to recover it. Enabling Find My Device on Windows or Find My Mac on macOS is the easiest way to track your device if it connects to the internet. You can also install anti-theft software like Prey or LoJack for added protection. Finally, using IP address tracking and setting a BIOS password can help increase your chances of recovering your laptop or securing your data.
To maximize your chances of recovery, always take preventive measures by enabling tracking features and installing anti-theft software before your laptop goes missing. Once your laptop gets stolen while you haven’t activated any of these software tracking and the device is never online, I don’t feel good saying this but you better lose your hopes of finding the laptop.
Dubai-based luxury smartphone maker Caviar known for creating some of the world’s most extravagant gadgets has launched a new collection of iPhone 16 models. The highlight of this collection is the bespoke iPhone 16 Pro Max. In this article, we’ll discuss what makes the Caviar iPhone 16 Pro Max different from the regular version.
iPhone 16 Pro Max by Caviar
The centerpiece of Caviar’s new collection: iPhone 16 Pro Max is titled “The Great, The Terrible, The Magnificent.” This luxurious phone has a crown with solid 18-karat gold and precious gemstones.
Design and specifications

The design takes inspiration from three iconic rulers: Ivan the Terrible, Suleiman the Magnificent, and Charlemagne. And guess what? It weighs over 1 kilogram and is crafted from 750-grade gold.
The upper section of the crown, which has a decoration of a cross, takes its inspiration from the Russian Tsars. The main body is decorated with gemstones reminiscent of the Holy Roman Empire’s crown. Additionally, the base of the crown mimics the shape of Suleiman the Magnificent’s helmet.
Moreover, the complex design of this phone is full of botanical motifs, reflecting Eastern aesthetics and adding a unique cultural touch to this luxurious creation.
Furthermore, the phone’s body features 402 diamonds, rubies, and sapphires set against a leather backdrop for an added sense of sophistication and durability.
This masterpiece is part of Caviar’s exclusive “Corona” collection and just three units are available worldwide, highlighting its rarity and exclusivity. Furthermore, each unit is meticulously handcrafted, making it an in-demand collector’s item.
Additional models
In addition to the crown-themed iPhone 16 Pro Max, Caviar has introduced three other models inspired by the elegance of Swiss watches: the Evergreen, Atlantis, and Twilight editions. These models incorporate design elements of iconic Rolex timepieces, with titanium cases wrapped in luxurious crocodile leather.
iPhone 16 Pro Max by Caviar availability
