Huawei Mate 70 series is going to launch with Kirin 9100 chipset!

Huawei is gearing up to launch the Mate 70 series later this month. The lineup will reportedly include the Mate 70, Mate 70 Pro, Mate 70 Pro+, and the premium Mate 70 RS, with the latter expected to be the most feature-packed of the bunch. In this article, we will discuss the Huawei Mate 70 series rumors, specifications, and launch date.

Huawei Mate 70 Series rumors

Design and Display

The Huawei Mate 70 series will likely feature a more angular, flat-frame design compared to its predecessor’s rounded edges.

Huawei Mate 70 leaked image

As per the leaked image on Weibo, the display will have three punch holes (again) – which is polarizing for sure. These cutouts are likely to include one for the front-facing camera and the other two for a 3D ToF (Time of Flight) system used for facial recognition and enhanced security. Additionally, the power button on the right side of the device will be larger, offering improved usability.

Performance

Under the hood, the Mate 70 series is expected to be powered by the new Kirin 9100 chipset. This octa-core SoC will feature a powerful combination of cores, including a single Cortex-X1 core clocked at 2.67 GHz for demanding tasks, alongside three Cortex-A78 cores running at 2.32 GHz for balanced performance.

Additionally, the chipset will include four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.02 GHz, designed to be more energy-efficient for lighter tasks. The Kirin 9100 will be coupled with Huawei’s custom Maleoon 910 GPU, and it will be manufactured using SMIC’s N+3 process node (6nm).

Moreover, this new series will likely have the HarmonyOS Next (Huawei’s first OS).

Camera

In terms of camera design, the Mate 70 series is expected to borrow elements from the Mate 50 series, with four cameras arranged in a square formation, housed within a circular or octagonal module.

While the camera design appears similar, the sensors are reportedly larger. However, details regarding the internal specifications of the camera setup are still scarce.

Huawei Mate 70 Series Launch and Availability 

Richar Yu, CEO of the CBG Division confirmed that the Huawei Mate 70 series will be released on November 26, 2024. Since, the Mate 60 costs CNY 5,999 (~ 112,000NPR converted), we expect the Huawei Mate 70 price in Nepal to start around NPR 155,000 if the series somehow makes it here.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Price in Nepal [Updated]

Samsung’s latest launch event in Nepal is done and dusted and they have launched a handful of exciting devices. This includes the likes of their latest foldables — Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. They also introduced Galaxy Watch7 and two new models of their third-gen earbuds. Let’s delve into the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro in this article with its official price in Nepal.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Overview

Audio

The Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro comes with two speaker units — a 10.5mm dynamic driver and a 6.1mm planar. The former handles bass and low frequencies, while the latter controls treble and the other end of the spectrum. Meanwhile, these buds are equipped with three mics on each side to personalise the audio output.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Audio

At the same time, they are also utilised for noise cancellation. While its vanilla counterpart only offers regular ANC, the Pro model is capable of Adaptive ANC. As such, it detects when someone initiates a conversation with you and turns off noise cancellation automatically. Also, it lets in the sound of alarms and sirens at any given time, while filtering out the rest of the ambient noise. Moreover, these buds work with Samsung’s in-house high-res Samsung Seamless Codec with 24bit / 96kHz processing. They also offer 360 Audio with select Samsung devices elevating the cinematic experience.

Design and Features

Design-wise, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro resembles its regular counterpart to a certain extent. It comes in an Open-type design where the lid of the charging case is see-through. Likewise, the earbuds also come with a stem — taking a step away from the stemless design of its predecessor. Other than that, this one has an in-ear fit and an LED strip called the “Blade Lights” on the stem. Meanwhile, these buds also come with an IP57 rating and are available in Silver, and White colours.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro Design

Talking of the features, Samsung does not shy away from highlighting that the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro integrated Galaxy AI into its system. Firstly, it uses artificial intelligence to analyse your ear shape and wearing habits to optimise the audio accordingly to best suit your style. Likewise, these buds are specialised to work with the Interpreter feature available in supported Galaxy smartphones. Other than that, they also come with ecosystem features like Auto Switch (multi-device connectivity with Samsung devices), and Auracast. The buds rely on Bluetooth v5.4 for wireless connectivity and support touch as well as voice controls. They can go on for 7 hours on a full charge and an additional 23 hours with ANC turned off. When you do run out of charge, you can plug it in through a USB Type-C port or place it over a wireless charger. The choice is yours!

Xiaomi is working on a smartglasses as well

Smartphones have nearly reached their boiling point in terms of innovation. Changes from one generation to another are mostly just incremental. Given that, tech companies have now shifted their focus to smart wearables — XR headsets as well as smartglasses. Now another big-time player — Xiaomi, is entering this market. Let’s talk about what we know about Xiaomi’s smartglasses so far.

Xiaomi AI Smartglasses Rumours Round-up

What to expect?

As per a Chinese source i.e. IT Home, Xiaomi is working on smartglasses which will reportedly be powered with AI. These glasses will presented as a direct competitor to the Ray-Ban Meta. As such, Xiaomi’s offering will likely come with similar design and functionalities. We can expect it to be equipped with cameras, microphones, and speakers for input and output.

Ray-Ban Meta Transparent Wayfarer Limited Edition
Ray-Ban Meta

It will definitely offer all the general features like POV photo-and-videography, music playing, phone calls, etc. In the meantime, the Xiaomi Smartglasses will utilise AI for more complex tasks like object and monument recognition, encyclopedias, answering live queries, and so on. Furthermore, these glasses could serve as a virtual assistant too — helping you plan your day and routes, and reminding you of events.

Xiaomi 🤝 Goertek

The earlier source also reported that Xiaomi is partnering with Goertek for its AI Smartglasses. Goertek is a Chinese electronics company that designs and manufactures components and devices for consumer electronics. Their portfolio includes audio products, VR headsets, and smart wearables. Likewise, its clientele includes popular brands like Sony, Meta, Samsung, and even Apple.

The company is a dominant force in the field of XR devices and smart wearables and this partnership will give Xiaomi access to their experience and resources. This will also help the owners of the Redmi sub-brand put up a fight against the likes of Meta and Baidu.

Xiaomi AI Smartglasses Launch and Availability

Rumours say both companies have been working on the smartglasses for a few months now. The Xiaomi AI Smartglasses might hit the market in the second quarter of 2025, and the company CEO Lei Jun apparently expect to ship above 300,000 units. At this time, it is unclear if the wearable will be available internationally or remain within its home country only.

Behold iPhone owners, Google Gemini lands on App Store

0

Hey Siri, or how about Hey Gemini? The popular Android AI chatbot is now also available for iPhones. In this article, we’ll talk about the Gemini App for iPhone brings to the table and other information.

Gemini App for iPhone Overview

The Gemini App is finally available on the Apple app store. So iPhone users can download and try it. Google is claiming a more streamlined Gemini experience for iPhone users. And here are the features that you are getting:

Free-flow conversation

If you are kinda bored of talking with Siri every day, the Gemini Live on your iPhone allows a free-flow conversation. You can ask questions, take advice, develop creative ideas, and more. Similar to ChatGPT, we can say! There are 10 distinctive voices to choose from for personalization and the language options are also 10.

Gemini AI on iOS

Some Image Generation…Of course

As an AI tool, iPhone users can generate images on Gemini which is powered by Imagen 3, the highest-quality image generation model. So, you can just enter your desired prompt and Gemini will do the job. I tried this “Monkey riding a tempo in the streets of Kathmandu” and here’s what I have got.

Gemini App on iOS Image Generation

What about some studies?

AI Chatbots are pretty handy when it comes to doing some study. Gemini on iPhone also provides tailored study plans, step-by-step guidance, and some quizzes as well. So, basically, you are free to ask questions on any subject and get your answer. As simple as that!

Seamless connection with Google Apps

Moving on, the app also provides quick access to all your favorite Google apps such as Google Search, Gmail, Maps, YouTube, Drive, and so on. Can we call this a sneaky way to get those iPhone users to get used to Google Apps? More likely, yes.

Google App access on Gemini App iPhone

Gemini for iPhone: Conclusion

So, this is just the beginning of the Gemini app on iOS. And one sure thing is that it is very very unlikely to replace Siri as your personal assistant on iPhone. Because, like every other AI assistant on iOS, Gemini cannot tweak the settings or control apps.

HP Victus 16 (2024) with RTX 4070 is now available in Nepal for a sweet price!

0

HP’s Victus lineup has always been a fan favorite when it comes to getting a proper gaming laptop on a budget. And while the Victus 15 is ever dominating in the sub 150,000 NPR market in Nepal, the Victus 16: its beefier brother had been missing. That’s not the case anymore and now you can get the big bro Victus 16 from HP in Nepal that too for a sweet sweet price. In this short piece, we’ll briefly touch on the different aspects of the HP Victus 16 (2024) gaming laptop, its specs and features, and finally the pricing and availability. 

HP Victus 16 (2024) Overview 

Design and Display 

Starting off with the Victus DNA, the 16-inch gaming laptop is made entirely out of plastic but features a sturdier build than its 15-inch sibling. It also has larger dimensions, weighs a bit extra, and has an improved thermal design, which we’ll talk about in the performance section. The ports are still located on the left and right sides, with the back completely left for ventilation. 

HP Victus 16 2024 Dimensions

On the front, the large 16.1-inch screen is suitable for gaming, although the resolution is limited to Full HD and the refresh rate to 144Hz on the sole Nepalese variant. The brightness also maxes out at just 300 nits. But, HP says the response time is less than 10ms, and the panel can display 100% of the standard sRGB colors, which is nice to see. We do hope that higher-end variants with brighter and faster panels also make their way here in the future. 

Performance and Memory 

Powering the Victus 16 is a Zen 4-based Ryzen 7 8845HS that can clock up to an impressive 5.1GHz. It’s your standard 8-core 16-thread configuration fabbed on TSMC’s 4nm process. So, expect good efficiency on top of great overall CPU performance. The integrated Radeon 780M graphics is quite capable on its own but the star of the show is definitely NVIDIA’s RTX 4070. 

HP Victus 16 2024 Design

The GeForce RTX 4070 in the HP Victus 16 (2024) can go up to plenty 120W, although we have found most laptop 4070 GPUs to cap around 100W while gaming. To cool this, there are dual fans on either side of the laptop, heat pipes over the CPU and GPU, and thermal paste on the processors. For memory, this variant ships with 16GB of DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The 8GB sticks can be user-replaced with higher-capacity ones for further expansion. Similarly, the 500GB NVME drive can be replaced with a higher capacity M.2 2280/2242 SSD. It’s unclear whether this exact variant has an extra M.2 slot or not but the Victus 16 generally has an extra slot over the smaller 15.

Ports and Battery 

The port situation could be a little sweeter as well. The Type-C port on the Victus 16 is just a 5Gbps port (with PD and DP support) and not the faster USB-4 standard. The three USB-A ports are also the same USB 3.2 Gen 1 based while the HDMI is version 2.1. There’s also an RJ45 slot, 3.5mm jack, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3. 

Fueling it all is a decently sized 70Wh cell powered by a 230W AC adapter. 

HP Victus 16 2024 (s1023) Specifications:

  • Display: 16.1-inch IPS LCD, 144Hz refresh rate, Anti-glare, 300 nits, 100% sRGB
  • Resolution: FHD (1920 x 1080 pixels)
  • Keyboard: Full-size keyboard with NumPad
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU (8C/16T, 5.1GHz Max Boost)
  • Graphics: Up to RTX 4070
  • RAM: 8/16GB DDR5-5600
  • Storage: 512GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD
  • Audio: Bang & Olufsen tuned dual speakers
  • Battery: 4-cell 70 Wh Li-ion polymer
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6 AX211, Bluetooth 5.3
  • Color Options: Mica Silver, Performance Blue
  • I/O Ports: 1x USB Type-A (HP Sleep and Charge), 2x USB Type-A, 1x RJ45, 1x combo audio jack, 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB Type-C (DisplayPort 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge)

Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) Price in Nepal [Updated]

0

14th-generation laptops have been slowly rolling to Nepal in the last month or so. Notably the new Zenbook 14 with its Core Ultra 7 chipset and just recently the ROG Strix G16 and G18 gaming laptops with their Raptor Lake refresh CPUs. We also expect the 2024 Predator lineup from Acer to make its way to Nepal soon. But wanna know what’s already here ? – the new Lenovo LOQ 15 and 16. In this article, let’s take a look at the Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024), its design, specifications, price in Nepal, and availability. 

Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) Overview

Design and Display 

We don’t see much departure in the looks department. The new LOQ 15 features a plastic chassis with a decent build like its predecessor (LOQ 15 2023 Review). It weighs about 2.4 kg and is available in Luna Grey color option.

Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) display

The display panel is a 15.6 inch IPS LCD of Full HD res and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It does have good enough colors at 100% sRGB coverage and features a matte coating. And since it’s a gaming laptop, you do get a fast 144Hz refresh rate with G-Sync support. Do note that not all models have identical screens, so double-check your specs before the purchase.

Performance and Memory 

The LOQ 2024 can be configured with both 13th and 14th-generation Intel Core processors as well as Ryzen chips. But the highlight is on the new 14700HX.

The Core i7-14700HX in the LOQ 15 is a 20-core, 28-thread chip that has extra efficiency cores (12 > 8), and higher clock speeds than its predecessor (5.5 GHz max clock vs 5.0 GHz) which should bring a performance boost in both single-threaded as well as max load workflows. The 14700HX is a Raptor Lake refresh CPU and is not based on the new Meteor Lake architecture with an Intel 4 process node. But since efficiency, and a better iGPU aren’t the top priorities when it comes to a gaming laptop, the Raptor Lake i7 is a fine choice for the LOQ 15 (2024). Oh! and you have Lenovo’s AI chip (LA1 in this model) for an even better gaming experience and dual fans for cooling. 

Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) cooling

Currently, you can purchase the Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 115W TGP in Nepal. As other configurations make their way, we’ll keep updating the article. The laptop comes with 16GB of fast DDR5 (5600MHz) RAM with an extra slot for future upgrades. On the SSD side, you get a 1TB Gen 4 model with an additional M.2 slot.

Battery and Extras

Under the hood, there’s a decent 60Wh battery and you get a 230W Slim Tip charger in the box that refills the machine in just about an hour. On the ports side, you get three USB-A’s, one type C, an HDMI, a headphone jack, and an ethernet port. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port also supports 140W charging. 

Lenovo LOQ 15 2024 edition (ports)
