Redmi Pad SE 8.7 4G launched in Nepal in 6GB + 128GB trim

Xiaomi recently launched a whole bunch of products into the Nepali market. Among the slew of products is a medium-sized tablet with rather affordable pricing. This article will further discuss the Redmi Pad SE 8.7 4G, including its price in Nepal.

Redmi Pad SE 8.7 4G Overview

Design and Display

The Redmi Pad SE 8.7 4G comes in a flat design with its edges and frames having no curves. Apart from a circular camera island on the top edge of the back panel, nothing much is going on here design-wise. It is a standard-looking tablet for the most part, however, it is rather smaller considering how enormous tablets can be. Hence, it is quite portable and should be easy to hold with a single hand when consuming content. Furthermore, it ships in Graphite Grey, Aurora Green, and Sky Blue colours.

Despite its smaller size, it packs a decent-sized display measuring 8.7 inches. It is an LCD panel with HD+ resolution, up to 90Hz refresh rate, and a peak brightness of 600 nits. Additionally, it comes with TÜV Rheinland low blue light (software-based) and flicker-free certification.

Performance

Under the hood, the Redmi Pad SE 8.7 4G packs the MediaTek Helio G85 processor with 12nm fabbing and a peak clock speed of 2.0GHz. Though it is available in multiple configurations in the international market, we Nepali folks only get a single option. Here, the tablet comes with 6GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB eMMC 5.1 storage, which actually is the highest trim available. There is also a dedicated slot for storage expansion with a microSD card of up to 2TB capacity.

In the tank, it has a 6,650 mAh battery with 18W charging support. However, you only get a 10W charger bundled with the box. On the software front, this thing boots on the Xiaomi HyperOS based on Android U (Android 14).

Apple Watch SE (2022) gets a price drop!

Apple Watch SE (2022) gets a price drop!

Apple announced a lot of new products at its “Far Out” event last year. In terms of smartwatches, the second-gen Apple Watch SE is the company’s most affordable wearable option available right now. So, let’s take a closer look at the Apple Watch SE 2022, including its specs, features, availability, and latest official price in Nepal.

Apple Watch SE 2022 Overview:

Design and Display

As far as design is concerned, the 2nd generation Watch SE isn’t that different from its predecessor. It still arrives in the familiar square chassis with the digital crown and a side button on the right frame. In 40mm and 44mm (100% recycled) aluminum cases. But Apple says it has redesigned the back case this time, which is now made of color-matched nylon composite material for a (marginally) lighter build quality.

Apple Watch SE 2022

1 of 4

More specifically, the Watch SE 2022 weighs about 10% less.

40mm: 26.4 gm (< 30.7 gm)
44mm: 32.9 gm (< 36.4 gm)

As for the color options, the Watch SE 2022 is available in Midnight, Starlight, and Silver finishes. There’s nothing new in the display side of things though. It’s still got the same Retina LTPO OLED screen with up to 1,000 nits of brightness. And unlike Apple’s more premium smartwatches, this guy still doesn’t support always-on display. For crack and scratch resistance, there’s the usual Ion-X glass on top of the screen. It is also swimproof up to 50 meters, but you won’t find dust-resistant properties on this entry-level Apple smartwatch.

Performance

The most notable upgrade on the Apple Watch SE 2022 is definitely on the performance front. It is powered by the same Apple S8 chip that you’ll find in the new Watch Series 8 and the flagship Apple Watch Ultra. According to the company, you can expect 20% faster performance over the S7 chip-powered Apple Watch Series 7.

Besides raw power, the cellular version of the new Watch SE now supports international data roaming as well. Apple says this feature is currently compatible with 30 telcos in total — chiefly the ones from the US, UK, and China.

The 2nd generation Apple Watch SE runs on watchOS 9, which enables features like “Low Power Mode”. This feature essentially disables automatic workout detection and a few other things to extend the battery life. Other highlights of watchOS 9 include AFib history (Atrial Fibrillation), redesigned Compass app, improved sleep tracking with “Sleep Stages”, and more.

Car crash detection

Interestingly, the Watch SE can also detect a car crash and connect you to emergency services or emergency contacts. According to Apple, this feature is enabled thanks to the enhanced 3-axis gyroscope and G-force accelerometer in tandem with the onboard microphone, barometer, and GPS.
