Insta360 launches New Link 2 and Link 2C webcams with AI noise cancellation

Insta360 has introduced two new models in its webcam lineup: the Insta360 Link 2 and the Insta360 Link 2C. The Link 2 is the direct successor to the original 2022 model, while the Link 2C offers a more compact and budget-friendly alternative by removing the gimbal. In this article, we will discuss everything about the latest Insta360 Link 2 and Link 2C, including its expected price in Nepal.

Insta360 Link 2 and Link 2C Overview

AI Noise Cancellation and Camera

A key feature of both models is AI-powered noise reduction, which enhances audio quality by reducing background noise. Additionally, the webcams include several audio profiles such as Voice Focus, Voice Suppression, and Music Balance, catering to different user needs.

Moreover, the Link 2 and Link 2C are equipped with a 1/2” sensor, improving low-light performance. They also feature HDR, preserving details in shadows, and a DSLR-like bokeh effect thanks to the f/1.8 aperture and Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF). Both models can record 4K video at 30fps and support horizontal and vertical orientations, including 4K Portrait Mode.

Controls and Mounts

Both webcams use AI-based tracking to keep users in the frame during presentations or video calls. Insta360 has also introduced Group Tracking mode, allowing the camera to follow multiple people. Users can also control the camera with hand gestures to start/stop tracking, zoom, or activate features like Smart Whiteboard Mode.

Insta360 has added a magnetic mount to both models, allowing them to be easily attached to metal surfaces. They also feature a 1/4” tripod mount for traditional setups. Furthermore, they offer a Smart Whiteboard Mode to keep whiteboards in focus and a DeskView Mode for overhead presentations. The Link 2 adds a 2-axis gimbal for smoother tracking and includes a Privacy Mode that points the camera down when not in use.

The Insta360 Link 2 and Link 2C are now available globally through the Insta360 store, Amazon, and select retailers abroad. In the US, the Insta360 Link 2 is priced at USD 200, while the Link 2C is available for USD 150. If it ever makes it here, we expect to cost no less than NPR 29,999 and 24,999 respectively.

Ultima Atom 720 TWS Price in Nepal [Updated]

Ultima has launched the Atom 720 Wireless Earbuds, featuring ENC, quad mics, and a large battery in Nepal. In this article, we will discuss more about the upcoming Ultima Atom 720 Wireless Earbuds, including their price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Ultima Atom 720 Wireless earbuds Overview

Design and Audio

The earbuds feature a dual-tone UV-coated finish and a curvy body with an in-ear design.

During our usage period, we found the high volume to be on the distorted side with overdone bass. Sharp notes of the flute can sound too sharp. So, it is recommended to listen at a moderate volume.

Connectivity and Long Battery Life

The Atom 720 earbuds operate on Bluetooth V5.4 with Swift Pair Tech, offering a transmission range of up to 10 meters. They support AAC and SBC audio codecs, compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows devices. Users can enjoy up to 50 hours of total playtime at 60% volume, with the earbuds providing up to 6 hours on a single charge.

Ultima introduces four new power banks under the “Boost” series

Ultima is one of, if not, the most popular accessories brands hailing from Nepal. The company has been expanding its portfolio recently. They introduced their first-ever soundbars and the Soundbox speaker series earlier this month. Now Ultima is bringing four new power banks under its “Boost” series and we are here to discuss all about them, including their price in Nepal.

Ultima Boost Power Bank Series (New) Overview

The homegrown Nepali brand has been offering power banks since its inception and they did so under two series — Atom and Boost. The former consisted of two choices while the latter had three. Now Ultima is updating the Boost power bank series with four new members — 10K Mini, 20K Pro, 20K Ultra, and 30K Pro!

1. Ultima Boost 10K Mini

While this power bank might be the smallest in the bunch, it’s the one with the coolest of features. Firstly, just as its name suggests, it is a 10,000 mAh unit, equivalent to 37Wh. It has one each of USB-A and USB-C ports and offers a maximum power output of 22.5W with support for various charging protocols. What sets it apart from the rest of its compatriots is that it comes with a built-in wireless charger. The Ultima Boost 10K Mini power bank outputs 15W of speed wirelessly and also has a kickstand. However, it is the only one with an LED indicator instead of a digital display for battery insight.

Ultima Boost 10K Mini Specifications

Design: Sleek and compact build, Grippy-textured, comes with a built-in kickstand and wireless charger
Material: ABS hard plastic
Battery: 10,000 mAh (6,750 mAh rated), 37Wh, Li-polymer

2. Ultima Boost 20K Pro

The Ultima Boost 20K Pro is the most standard power bank among the latest additions to the series. As such, it is also the most affordable one. It lacks the wireless charging port the one 10K Mini has, but gains double the battery capacity. It now has a 20,000mAh typical battery capacity, translating to 74Wh energy capacity. Furthermore, this battery bank gets a digital display and an extra USB-C port.

Ultima Boost 20K Pro Specifications

Design: Matte-textured, comes with a digital LED display
Material: ABS hard plastic
Battery: 20,000 mAh (13,500 mAh rated), 75Wh, Li-polymer

3. Ultima Boost 20K Ultra

On the outside, the Ultima Boost 20K Ultra looks similar to the previous power bank. However, it’s a different gravy inside. The primary difference between the two is charging output. While the former capped out at a speed of 22.5W, this one goes all the way up to 65W! Moreover, it can power up laptops through its high-speed charging port and on top of that it supports faster charging input as well.

Design: Matte-textured, comes with a digital LED display
Material: ABS hard plastic
Battery: 20,000 mAh (13,500 mAh rated), 74Wh, Li-polymer

Colour: Black, White

4. Ultima Boost 30K Pro

The Ultima Boost 30K Pro power bank is pretty much the same as the 20K Pro, except it has a larger battery size and wider port options. It gains an extra 10,000mAh capacity, and with that, it sacrifices the pass to aeroplanes. The international aviation standard only allows you to take a battery bank with up to 100Wh energy with you, this one comes in at 111Wh! Apart from that, it has an extra USB-A port, also capable of 22.5W output.

Ultima Boost Power Bank Series (New) Price in Nepal and Availability

The whole Ultima Boost power bank series launched on 25 September 2024 and is available with six months of brand warranty and a 30-day replacement guarantee.

Dell refreshed its G-series gaming lineup at the CES 2023, including the crowd-favorite G15.

Dell G15 Gaming Laptop (2023) Overview:

Design and Display

The space where Dell put the new G-series of gaming laptops on display was full of retro arcade machines for the 80s-inspired laptops to blend in. You heard it right — Dell is breaking the norm of mean and even professional-looking gaming laptops. The latest G-series laptops are all clad in 80’s pop aesthetics. This way, the company has created a unique blend of modern build with restoring aesthetics hardly seen in today’s gaming laptops.

In particular, the new Dell G15 gaming laptop arrives in three colors: Dark Shadow Gray (with Black thermal shelf), Quantum White (with Deep Space Blue thermal shelf), and Pop Purple (with Neo Mint thermal shelf).

Both use the same anti-glare panel, but the 165Hz variant is slightly brighter (300 nits > 250 nits) and has TUV certification. Going all out will get you an even faster 360Hz panel with a lower response time (1 ms).

Performance and Cooling

Under the hood, Dell G15 5530 (2023) packs the Intel “Raptor Lake” HX-series mobile processors while the AMD variant packs 7000 series HS chips.

Acer Predator Helios 16 (2023) Price in Nepal [Updated]

At this year’s CES, Acer refreshed the Predator Helios series of gaming laptops. The lineup is now streamlined and consists of just two models, namely Helios 16 and Helios 18.

Let’s start with performance—the new Helios 16 brings the latest gaming processors from Intel and NVIDIA. On the high end, it comes with the Core i9-13900HX processor. It is a “desktop-level” mobile processor with 24 cores and a max turbo frequency of 3.90GHz. Acer offers the laptop with the 14-core Core i7-13700H as well.

Keeping the new Predator Helios 16 (2023) cool are the two 5th Gen Aeroblade 3D fans. They are paired with vector heat pipes that take the heat away from the CPU and the GPU. Acer has also applied liquid metal to the CPU.

It also supports the new Predator Pulsar lighting for the mini-LED backlit keyboard. Acer has also improved the per-key RGB for more uniform lighting.

Design and Display

Acer has also redesigned the Predator laptops from the ground up. The new Helios 16 looks more subtle with clean edges and a revamped rear panel.

The rest of the ports are three UBS 3.2 Gen 2, one ethernet, an SD card reader, a combined audio jack, and a Kensington lock. They are spread across the two sides.

Xiaomi overtakes Apple to become the #2 smartphone brand! 🤯

The smartphone market is constantly changing, however, it usually follows a similar pattern. Apple and Samsung racing for the top spot, while the other companies chase the dust they leave behind. Recently, the script has flipped on its head, and Apple lost its stronghold to slip into third position. This drop coincides with the growth of Xiaomi, making the Chinese manufacturer the second-largest smartphone brand in the world!

Xiaomi: The second largest smartphone brand

What’s going on?

If we look at the graph below, we can see that Xiaomi has claimed the second spot in global smartphone sales. This is not the first time though, as it happened three years prior — back in August 2021. After that, the company along with others, hit a bit of a rough patch. It has then recovered its position and has been steadily improving since 2023. As such, Xiaomi has overtaken Apple to become the second-largest smartphone brand in the world.

In the same graph, we can also see that Apple moves in cycles with a similar story every year. Its sales slowly dips every month reaching the lowest in August. Then the company launches the new iPhones in September, and sales go through the roof. It then rises to the second or even overtakes Samsung to become the No.1 smartphone brand in the world. It did so in 2023, pumping out the most sales in the last three years. Meanwhile, Samsung operates in a more steady space all year round without such drastic changes in its sales.

How did Xiaomi become the second largest smartphone brand?

It appears to be a case of Apple dipping down to the third spot, rather than Xiaomi rising to become the second-largest smartphone brand. While that may be true, the latter is indeed growing at its own pace. This is thanks to the new product, sales and channel strategy they adopted after the supply struggles in 2022 and the first half of 2023.

Xiaomi has expanded to newer markets while keeping its product line simple with one prime offering in every price range. Its sub-brand Redmi has been competing head-to-head with Samsung in the budget segment. And its premium offerings have been no-slouch either. Critics have praised the Xiaomi 14 series and their foldable phones have also been making a name for themselves. As a result, the Chinese brand has pulled 22% year-over-year growth in the first half of 2024. Even though it is expected to slow down from here on, it will likely retain the double-digit growth percentage even in the remainder of the year.

Conclusion

Xiaomi might currently be the second-largest smartphone brand in the world, but it is in no position to hold that title for much longer. Apple has already dropped the iPhone 16 series, and their sales do not appear timid in any shape or form. Hence, the Cupertino-based company is probably en route to retake its market position. Or, it might even overtake Samsung to be the No.1! That being said, Xiaomi is indeed growing. However, it has a long journey ahead of itself to reach the heights Huawei once reached, where it could challenge the duopoly of Apple and Samsung.
