Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship is soon to ship inside the Realme GT7 Pro launching in China this week. But before its official release, the Snapdragon 8 Elite has been spotted on the AnTuTu benchmark, where it reportedly outperformed both MediaTek’s and Apple’s processors. So, let’s dive deeper into the rumors, leaked images, and speculations surrounding this news.
Snapdragon 8 Elite setting a new record!
The Snapdragon 8 Elite is creating significant buzz ahead of its official release because of its impressive leaked benchmark scores. A collaboration between OnLeaks and Smartprix has unveiled an image showing AnTuTu scores for two devices: the Realme GT 7 Pro, scoring 3,025,991, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max, scoring 1,651,728. This positions the Snapdragon 8 Elite as the highest-performing Snapdragon chip so far, surpassing both MediaTek’s recently released Dimensity 9400 SoC and Apple’s A18 Pro chip.
To be fair, it’s a frowned upon concept to compare Antutu scores between iOS and Android as they are configured differently but it does give us a rough idea about the overall performance of these devices. Moreover, something like Geekbench 6 is more suitable when talking about SOCs alone as the Antutu score also depends on memory and other aspects of the device.
Just edges ahead the MediaTek
However, the Vivo X200, powered by MediaTek’s upcoming 3nm Dimensity 9400 chipset, achieved a score of 3,007,853 on the same benchmark. So, Realme’s upcoming flagship isn’t the first phone to surpass the 3 million mark on AnTuTu which puts Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite just slightly ahead of its competitors.
Additionally, the Snapdragon 8 Elite might come in two variants: a standard version with two cores clocked at 4.09 GHz and six cores at 2.78 GHz, and an overclocked model with two cores running at 4.32 GHz.
In addition to AnTuTu, early leaks indicate impressive Geekbench performance for the Snapdragon 8 Elite, with the recently spotted OnePlus 13, featuring the same chipset, scoring 3,216 in single-core and 10,051 in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6. That’s more than the latest iPhone and the Dimensity counterpart! Impressive!!
Infinix launched the Hot 50i earlier this month. Now, the company has put up the Hot 50 Pro+ for pre-orders in Kenya. Much of the smartphone’s details are under wraps. Let’s discuss everything we know about the Infinix Hot 50 Pro+, its potential launch, its price in Nepal, and more.
Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ Overview
Design and Display
The company has made the design of this phone the primary focus of the device. It has curved edges and measures 6.8mm thick, which makes it thinner than a pencil. As such, Infinix proudly markets the Hot 50 Pro+ as the “World’s slimmest 3D-curved SlimEdge Design”. Furthermore, it is IP54 dust and water-resistant and apparently comes with TitanWing Architecture providing six-side anti-drop durability.
It has an AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass protection on the front. The size and other specs of the display are still unknown, apart from the fact that it works with wet and greasy fingers too. Moving on, the Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ ships in purple, metallic, and black colour options.
Performance
This phone packs the MediaTek Helio G100 processor under the hood, which is one of the best options in the budget category. It is pretty much the same thing as the already popular Helio G99 but with slightly better benchmark scores.
Additionally, the Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage on the board. It is currently unclear whether the phone will be available in other trims or not. Other than that, you can dynamically double the RAM and expand the storage with a MicroSD card. It has a dedicated slot for the latter.
In the tank, it has a 5,000 mAh battery that draws up to 33W of power to juice itself up. Even more, Infinix has equipped the Hot 50 Pro+ with its signature customisable charging speed feature too. The phone has an ultra-crystal graphite cooling system as well, to regulate the temperature.
Much like a lot of other information, the details of the optics system are a mystery. However, one of the promotional videos shows two lenses when highlighting the internals and various features of the phone. Hence, we can deduce that one of the camera cutouts on the Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ is a dud and it has a two-camera system. Moreover, the secondary sensor is likely a placeholder too, as is the case in a lot of affordable smartphones.
The Infinix Hot 50 Pro+ comes with a stereo speaker that has been fine-tuned by the popular audio brand JBL. The phone has an in-display fingerprint sensor for added security. It also has Infinix AI baked into it allowing users to play around with images like erasing unwanted objects in the background, changing the image style, and so on. The company. Lastly, the company claims five years of performance fluency on this phone.

Though the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G made its appearance a little over a week ago, the 4G-only variant was nowhere to be seen — it was in the works… Now, the phone is official, but no events were held or anything. The French wing of the company announced it through the official website and that’s it. This article will further discuss the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G and try to figure out its potential price in Nepal.
Samsung Galaxy A16 4G Overview
Design and Display
The Samsung Galaxy A16 4G is the same as its 5G peer for the most part. It holds the same dimensions, measuring only 7.9mm thick. It also boasts an IP54 rating, which is the first time for the Galaxy A10 series. This phone continues to have the “Key Island” that its predecessor introduced, which has since become a staple feature of the entire A series phones.
That being said, this cellular version of the phone does hold some visual distinction. Firstly, it lacks the spotlight-like patterns on the back that the 5G trim has, and the other is that it comes in a matte finish instead. It ships in a different set of colours too, which are: Grey, Water Green, and Midnight Blue.
Moving on to the front, the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G enjoys the same display as its compatriot. As such, it has a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panel stretching FHD+ in resolution. Furthermore, you get a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, 800 nits of peak brightness, and a colour depth of 16 million.
Performance and Software
This phone sticks with the trial and tested hardware of its predecessor. In other words, there is barely any upgrade on the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G from the A15 4G. It has the same MediaTek Helio G99 under the hood, which is a pretty solid choice. However, an incremental upgrade to the G100 would have been much nicer.
As for configurations, it has been announced that it will be available with 4GB memory and 128GB storage. It might get additional trims once it expands worldwide. Apart from that, this phone supports a MicroSD card of up to 1TB and will likely support virtual RAM expansion as well.
One of Samsung’s strongest suits is its software and it’s on full display on this phone too. The Samsung Galaxy A16 4G boots on OneUI based on Android 14 out of the box. It will soon be upgraded to Android 15 and will continue to receive five more yearly updates. So, in total, you are getting six years of software and security updates. On top of that, it is equipped with Samsung Knox protecting the phone from external tampering.
For imagery, the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G comes with three sensors on the back and a single shooter on the front. The rear setup includes a 50MP main camera that does most of the heavy lifting. Then there is a 5MP ultrawide lens, better suited for landscape photos. A 2MP macro completes the setup, which is there, for close-up shots. Meanwhile, on the front, you get a 13MP snapper that also doubles down as a face scanner.
In the tank, you have a 5,000 mAh battery which can apparently offer you up to 2.5 days of usage. Samsung has not clarified how it achieved this number, but that’s the claim. Lastly, it supports 25W of speedy charging through the wire.
Front Camera: 13 MP Camera (Centre-aligned “Infinity-U” waterdrop cutout)
Security: Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Face Scanner
Battery: 5,000 mAh with 25W fast charging
Colour Options: Grey, Water Green, Midnight Blue
Samsung Galaxy A16 4G Price in Nepal and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy A16 4G was announced in France on 15 October 2024, however, the pricing was not revealed. In the meantime, they also mentioned that the phone will only ship in November. So, we can expect concrete information about the price then.
Regarding the availability in Nepal, this phone will likely not arrive here similar to the A15 4G. But if it does, we expect the Samsung Galaxy A16 4G price in Nepal to land around NPR 30,000.

Honor, the Chinese smartphone maker, just launched a super powerful tablet alongside its X60 series smartphones in its home country. The Honor Pad GT Pro comes with a 144Hz OLED screen and flagship-grade Snapdragon chipset for a very appealing price. In this piece, let’s take a quick peek at the tablet, its features, and specifications, alongside the expected price in Nepal, and availability.
Honor Pad GT Pro Overview
Design and Display
The new Honor tablet is a sleek and portable machine measuring 5.8mm thick and weighing just around 550 grams. It is likely all metal on the build with options for limited colorways: Black, White, and Blue. The back has a squarish camera module with a single 13MP lens and dual lines running through the length of the device.
On the display side, you get a remarkable 12.3-inch 144Hz OLED screen with all the bells and whistles you could ask for. It’s super fast, very crisp, gets blindingly bright, and has more than 10 billion colors. Furthermore, pair it with Honor’s Magic Pencil Gen 3 to use it as a drawing canvas or your own creative hub.
Performance and Memory
The performance also leaves no room for complaints as the Honor Pad GT Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon (SD) 8s Gen 3. It’s a 4nm processor similar in power to last year’s flagship SD 8 Gen 3. There’s a prime Cortex X4 core running at up to 3GHz, and a few A720s complimented some A520s. The GPU is a weaker Adreno 735 compared to the 750 in the 8 Gen 3. Regardless, for the price bracket it is targeting, this is one of the best gaming chipsets you can get and Honor has gone with the correct approach by providing a large 40,000 mm² heat sink surface and shipping it alongside up to a whopping 16GB of RAM and 512GB memory.
The tablet boots on MagicOS 8 based on Android 14 but we aren’t sure on the software support and number of updates just yet.
Battery and Extras
Given the thin form factor, you get a respectable 10050 mAh Lithium cell with support for 66W fast charging. The Type-C port at the bottom is a USB 3 Gen 2 port so you can connect various external drives or other accessories, and there are also magnetic pins for the stylus.
The rear camera can shoot up to 4k 30 fps while the 9MP one housed on the front can go up to 1080p 30fps. Honor Pad GT Pro has a quad-speaker setup with IMAX Enhanced support for an enjoyable multimedia experience. Unfortunately, despite being frontline as a gaming powerhouse, there is no headphone jack, so you’ll either have to invest in a dongle or use Bluetooth alternatives.
Honor Pad GT Pro Price in Nepal and Specifications

The X100 series had a handful of members, to say the least. It had a titular and a Pro option, an X100s and X100s Pro phones, and an Ultra variant. This year Vivo has kept things simple and unveiled only three models. So far, at least. This time, they have taken a new approach and launched a “mini” offering. Let’s take a deeper look at the Vivo X200 Pro Mini in this article, and also discuss what its price in Nepal might be.
Vivo X200 Pro Mini Overview
Camera
The Vivo X200 Pro Mini focuses heavily on imaging and goes hard with triple 50MP shooters. The primary camera comes with a Zeiss T* lens coating that reduces glare as well as retains the originality of the subject’s colour.
Likewise, the telephoto snapper comes in a periscope design and doubles down as a macro lens with up to 20 times magnification. Additionally, an ultrawide unit serves as an auxiliary camera on the back and a 32MP shooter for selfies.
Vivo partnered with Sony for the camera sensor on the X200 Pro Mini. Given that, this phone has Sony’s LYT-818 sensor with Vivo’s Blueprint technology on top. The phone has a dedicated chip called V2 just for imaging processing. Lastly, the smartphone manufacturer has also put a self-developed algorithm in place to help enhance the details on images when zooming and such.
Performance
Similar to its other compatriots, the Vivo X200 Pro Mini packs the same MediaTek Dimennsity 9400 chipset. This processor comes with the fabled 3nm fabrication and clocks in at a peak of 3.626GHz.
Other than that, it comes in three configurations. Those being: 12GB + 256GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB. The memory over here is a quad-channel LPDDR5X while the storage is UFS 4.0.
In terms of power, you are looking at the third-generation Blue Volt battery with a silicon anode measuring 5,700 mAh in capacity. Furthermore, it supports 90W wired and 30W wireless flash charging. The Vivo X200 Pro Mini is capable of reverse charging too, but only through OTG.
Software-wise, it boots on OriginOS 5 based on Android 15 and comes with on-device AI capabilities. You get all the features like V Search (Circle to search), V Help (translation and transcription), and V Writing. Vivo is also offering a Dynamic Island-like feature called “Atomic Island”.
Design and Display
Much like its larger counterparts, the Vivo X200 Pro Mini carries the same design blueprint. The striking difference it has is that it is smaller in size and has taken an all-flat approach. This means, both its frame and edges are not curved. Contrarily, the other members of the X200 series also have flat frames but the edges are curved. Regardless, it is IP68 as well as IP69 rated and provides excellent dust and water resistance.
Moreover, it ships in Micro Powder (Pink), Straightforward (White), Simple Black, and Titanium Blue colours. If you are wondering, no the material of choice is not titanium, it’s just the name of the colour.
For the display, it has a 6.31-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED panel with a 1 to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 2.6K resolution. The screen on the Vivo X200 Pro Mini is quite vibrant as it can display 1.07 billion colours while covering the entirety of DCI-P3 colour space.
It is also easy on your eyes with 2,160Hz PWM dimming and has the accolades to show for it. It has SGS certification for hardware-level low-blue light and also cleared the “Professional Eye Protection Test” from the National Ophthalmology Engineering Centre.

vivo has launched its new X200, an upgrade to the previously flagship X100 series, featuring powerful hardware and advanced camera capabilities. In this article, we will discuss the latest Vivo X200, including its expected price in Nepal.
Vivo X200 Overview
Design and Display
The vivo X200 retains the familiar circular camera module from its predecessor but now includes a more refined layout with subtle adjustments in lens arrangement and Zeiss branding. The X200 is available in Sapphire Blue, Titanium Grey, Moonlight White, and Carbon Black. The Sapphire Blue colorway is a new addition and shifts in appearance under different lighting conditions. While maintaining the core design elements, it introduces smoother contours and a thinner 7.99mm profile, offering a more polished look than the earlier model.
The phone features a 6.67-inch quad-curved LTPS display. This screen supports HDR10+ and has a brightness of up to 4,500 nits. Furthermore, the display uses high-frequency PWM dimming to prevent flickering. While, Zeiss Natural Color technology ensures industry-leading color accuracy. The X200 comes with an enhanced IP69 rating, offering protection from hot water jets
New Power Chipset
The vivo X200 is powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset, a 3nm chip, developed in collaboration with ARM and MediaTek, and includes a Cortex-X925 core running at 3.626GHz. Users can choose from 12GB or 16GB of RAM, with support for virtual RAM, which can double the total memory. In addition, storage options range from 256GB to 1TB.
The phone runs on OriginOS 5, which introduces new features like Origin Island and a custom circle-to-search function. For the Chinese market, vivo has added an AI model to assist with note-taking and copywriting.
Camera Setup
The X200 includes a 50MP main camera with a Sony IMX921 sensor, paired with a ZeissT-coatedf/1.57 lens. Additionally, the phone features a 50MP telephoto lens with a 70mm focal length and T* coating, along with a 50MP ultra-wide camera.
The phone is equipped with a 5,800mAh battery, offering 90W wired charging. Furthermore, the phone features an offline communication system, which allows messages to be sent over Bluetooth up to 1km without cellular coverage. This feature was co-developed by vivo and MediaTek and is intended for emergency communications in areas with no signal.
Security: In-display fingerprint sensor, face unlock
Connectivity: 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C
Colors: Sapphire Blue, Titanium Grey, Moonlight White, Carbon Black
