Meta Quest 3S — Just as capable as Quest 3, but cheaper!

Meta Quest 3S — Just as capable as Quest 3, but cheaper!

Meta Quest 3 is one of the most popular mixed-reality headsets in the world. One of the main contributing factors to their popularity is their affordability. Now, Meta has gone a step further and launched an even cheaper headset, without compromising much on the performance. In this article, we delve into the details of the Meta Quest 3S and also discuss its expected price in Nepal.

Meta Quest 3S Overview

Design and Display

The standout design aspect of the Meta Quest 3S is definitely its camera layout, whose alignment is awfully similar to the Pro series iPhones. Other than that, they look pretty much the same as the standard Quest 3. It comes with a customisable strap and an action button to toggle between modes. Meta says the headset is lightweight too, however, they have not given actual numbers on the weight. Additionally, Meta was kind enough to include a spacer in between, so that users who need glasses can enjoy the Quest 3S without taking them off. Otherwise, they can also customise the thing with Zenni MR prescription lenses.

As for the visuals, the headset features screens with 1,832 x 1,920 pixels resolution per eye. This is quite a bit low in comparison to the biggest and baddest headset from the company, which has 2,064 × 2,208 pixels dedicated to each eye. Other than that, it has a 96° by 90° field of view, 20 pixels per degree, and 773 PPI pixel density.

Performance

The Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 coupled with 8GB memory handles the workload on the Meta Quest 3S. Given that, this headset has similarly potent internals to the regular Quest 3. Furthermore, the headset is available in 128GB and 256GB storage options. The maximum storage on this wearable is half that you would get on the top-of-the-line offering.

You continue to control it with Touch Plus controllers, which are equipped with TruTouch Haptics to offer realistic sensations during usage.

Software and Features

The Meta Quest 3S offers the Passthrough feature introduced on the Meta Quest 3. This allows you to enjoy mixed reality wherein you can overlay the virtual world on top of the real world. It also boots on Meta Horizon OS and will enjoy the same updates and ecosystem improvements as the flagship headset.

That being said, it is capable of spatial computing and spatial audio. Users can use it for media consumption, and interactive activities like VR gaming, painting, and working even. It better supports 2D apps like YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Meta Quest 3S can be in transit as well with the Travel Mode. The headset is also equipped with Meta AI for Quest.

Future Improvements

Meta also revealed their plans for the future. They are working on expanding the Travel Mode such that user can enjoy their headset on trains. Similarly, artificial intelligence is also being improved and will be able to be enabled with the “Hey Meta” wake word.

Meta Quest 3S Price in Nepal and Availability

Meta announced the Quest 3S on 25 September 2024 and the pre-booking have already opened. It carries a starting price tag of USD 299.99 for the 128GB variant while doubling the storage costs an extra 100 bucks. Meta is bundling the Batman: Arkham Shadow game alongside the purchase of the headset. In the meantime, you also get a one-year warranty and a three-month trial for Meta Quest+.

The headset market has not taken off in Nepal, hence, it will likely not be available here officially. However, you can still get them through unauthorised channels. Talking of the pricing, we expect the Meta Quest 3S price in Nepal to start at NPR 48,199.

Meta Quest 3S	Price in the US (Official)	Price in Nepal (Expected)
128GB	USD 299.99	NPR 48,199
256GB	USD 399.99	NPR 64,499

The AI on Ray-Ban Meta is getting even better!

The AI on Ray-Ban Meta is getting even better!

Ray-ban Meta is probably the most popular smartglasses in the world right now with an integrated AI. It is a second-generation wearable from EssilorLuxottica and Meta, succeeding the Ray-Ban Stories which launched in 2021. The glasses have received timely updates, the most recent of which is improved AI and features. In this article, we will discuss the Ray-Ban Meta in further detail and put a number on what its price in Nepal might be.

Ray-Ban Meta Overview

Design and Hardware

These new smartglasses have gotten some trimming and lost some weight too. They now boast an IPX4 rating and come with interaction earcons for faster and more reliable responses to your commands. The Ray-Ban Meta comes in Wayfarer, Headliner, and Skyler frame options. You can style the glasses in over 150 ways with different combinations of lenses through the Ray-Ban remix platform. They are prescription lenses compatible too! The creators have announced a new limited edition transparent version of the Wayframer frame, which gives us a peek into the internals of the glasses.

1 of 2

Talking of the internals, the Ray-Ban Meta has a combination of different things. Firstly, there is a custom-designed open-ear speaker on each arm. Additionally, there are five microphones on these glasses which allow you to make calls and access the AI assistant. This pair of glasses also features a 12MP ultrawide camera on each side with which you can snap photos and take minute-long videos at 1080p. Then there is the Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chipset under the helm handling all the processing and computing. Lastly, the Ray-Ban Meta has a built-in battery which can last you up to 36 hours with the charging case, which looks just like a regular eyewear case with a luxurious touch of leather finish.

Features and AI

While the hardware itself is about alright, it isn’t enough to set the Ray-Ban Meta apart from other smartglasses in the market. What does make it stand out is the features it offers and Meta AI integration. This wearable device benefits heavily from the fact that Meta owns all the major social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. As such, you can live-stream POV videos onto the former two platforms and hear out the comments too. Similarly, you can video call your friends and family through Messenger and WhatsApp as well, opening the possibility for easier hands-free communication.

The Meta AI integration is by far the greatest feature and the main selling point of the Ray-Ban Meta. Users can say “Hey Meta” to access the conversational assistant and ask for help. It’s not just limited to search and answer types of queries, it can utilise the built-in camera, understand the context, and help you out accordingly. For instance, you could ask the smartglasses to translate a foreign text you are looking at. Or look at a historical site and pull up information about it.

It got even better

The Ray-Ban Meta was already capable enough, now the AI and features got even better and richer. Now the Meta AI retains the memory of the recent conversation, so you can ask follow-up questions without saying “Hey Meta”. Likewise, you no longer need to say “look and” for your glasses to see and inform you about what you’re looking at. Just ask away… These glasses can now remember other things and set up reminders as well. Like, you could ask the Ray-Ban Meta to remember where you put your keys or parked your car, and such.

These glasses were already capable of video calls on WhatsApp and Messenger but now you can also send voice messages only. Furthermore, Ray-Ban Meta can act as a real-time tourist guide for you. Meta has added video input to its AI, which is now able to tag along through your journey, plan routes, and so on. Moreover, these glasses will soon be getting live speech translation features as well. The AI is being better integrated into Spotify and Amazon Music and expanded to Audible and iHeart. With this, you can ask the glasses about the music or audiobook you are listening to.

Apart from AI things, Meta has partnered with Be My Eyes. It is a free app that allows visually impaired individuals to connect with regular sighted volunteers for guidance on what is in front of them. Since Ray-Ban Meta specialises in POV videos, this partnership will help blind individuals, as they will not have to point their smartphones towards whatever they are looking at. As a result, they will have both hands free for the chores they are trying to perform.

Ray-Ban Meta Specifications

Design: Wayfarer, Headliner, Skyler frames, Customisable lenses
Processor: Qualcomm AR1 Gen 1
Storage: 32GB Flash
Camera: 12MP Ultrawide
Picture Quality: 3,024 x 4,032 pixels (Image), 1,440 x 1,920 pixels @30FPS (Video)

Ray-Ban Meta Price in Nepal and Availability

These smartglasses were launched on 27 September last year and the most recent update was announced on 25 September 2024. These smartglasses start at USD 299 and go upwards depending on how you customise them. If they somehow made their way here, we expect the Ray-Ban Meta price in Nepal to start at NPR 48,099.

Xiaomi 14T Pro launched with Dimensity 9300+ and Leica Cameras

Xiaomi is always known for its best value-for-money smartphones with superior specs. Right now, the company has expanded its Xiaomi 14 lineup with two new additions under the T Series. In this article, we will discuss the details including specs, features, and expected price of the Xiaomi 14T Pro in Nepal.

Xiaomi 14T Pro Overview

Design and Display

To begin with, the Xiaomi 14T Pro features a unified design with four camera lenses arranged in a 2×2 grid in the top left of the rear. On the side of the device, you get volume buttons and what appears to be a power button. Both models are available in Black, Blue and Brown.

For the display, large edge-to-edge displays with very slim bezels. Furthermore, there’s a small punch-hole camera cutout at the top center of the screen. It’s a 6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED touchscreen with a 144Hz refresh rate and 4,000-nits peak brightness. Plus, the ingress protection is covered by an IP68 dust and water resistance rating.

Performance

On the inside, the Xiaomi 14T Pro jumps up a tier and packs one of the most potent silicon from this year — the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+. This processor offers a higher frequency at 3.4GHz and has a more capable NPU. Xiaomi has paired this chip with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.

The Xiaomi 14T Pro debuts the “Xiaomi 3D IceLoop System,” an innovative cooling solution with distinct channels for liquid and gas circulation. The heat dissipation unit is designed with an indentation to house the processor, enhancing temperature management for improved performance.

Moreover, it features Ultra Space technology, first introduced with Xiaomi’s flagship 14 series smartphones. This proprietary innovation utilizes unused portions of UFS storage to unlock additional capacity, providing an extra 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of storage, depending on the configuration. Meanwhile booting the phone is Xiaomi HyperOS built on top of Android 14.

Since this phone is a part of Xiaomi’s collaboration with Leica, it comes equipped with exclusive Leica filters and design elements. Leveraging the full potential of the SoC—including the CPU, GPU, NPU, and ISP—Xiaomi HyperOS enhances image processing capabilities.

On the video front, it delivers impressive features, supporting 10-bit depth, the Rec. 2020 color gamut, and HLG format recording. Additionally, advanced tools like Cinematic Blur, Rack Focus, and Director Mode further elevate the video experience.

Meta announces its first ever Orion AR glasses with holographics display

Meta has launched its new Orion AR glasses, designed to connect digital information with the physical environment. In this article, we will cover the latest Meta Orion AR Glasses, including its features.

Meta Orion AR Glasses Overview

Display and Design

According to Meta, They feature holographic displays that enable wearers to view 2D and 3D content overlaying objects in their line of sight. Orion incorporates micro LED projectors that improve color accuracy and brightness. The optical-grade silicon carbide lenses provide an approximate 70-degree field of view, which is currently the widest in the AR glasses market. Additionally, the lightweight magnesium frames help distribute weight for comfort during use.

Tracking Capabilities

These glasses come equipped with miniaturized cameras and sensors that track eye, hand, and environmental movements. This technology helps the glasses understand the user’s surroundings. The wireless design eliminates the need for cables, allowing users to move freely while using the device.

Features

Users can control Orion through voice commands, eye movements, and hand gestures. The glasses also include electromyography (EMG) technology in a wristband, which allows for discreet control without requiring hands to be visible. This feature is particularly useful in dimly lit or crowded spaces.

Moreover, Orion enables users to make calls, take photos, and access videos and games. It pairs with a wristband to help users navigate the content displayed.

While Orion is not ready for consumer release, it is a well-developed prototype. Meta will gather feedback from select users to improve the product further. The company aims to release new devices in the coming years based on ongoing research and development.

Acer Aspire 5 with Core i5 12450H is up for grabs this Dashain!

Acer Aspire 5 with Core i5 12450H is up for grabs this Dashain!

One of the older Aspire notebooks from Acer is now available for a great discount so we’ve decided to dedicate this article to give you a short glimpse of its features, and offerings. Here, we will cover the Acer Aspire 5 (i5 12450H), its specs, and current Dashain Offer pricing and availability.

Acer Aspire 5 (i5 12450H) Overview

It’s got power at an affordable price

One of the major highlights of this Aspire 5 is definitely the H-class chip inside. It’s got an 8 Core (4 Performance + 4 Efficiency) i5 12450H Intel CPU that clocks up to 4.4GHz. With this, you can not only hope for snappy single-core performance for everyday activities like launching applications and exploring the web but also take on heavier things like rendering for example.

Unfortunately, the catch here is that there is no dedicated GPU and the one inside the i5 12450H is also Intel’s weaker UHD graphics and not Iris Xe. As such, gaming is mostly a no-go here. There’s also an Aspire 7 available in the market that has the same Intel CPU but with an NVIDIA RTX 2050 (4GB), but that one’s about 30% more expensive. So yeah, for the price, this one’s still very well specced.

Check out all the other Acer Aspire 5 (2022) models and their features.

Design and Display

Talking of other things like the build, it’s just about what you’d expect from a budget notebook. You are getting an 18mm thick machine that weighs about 1800 grams and is made mostly out of plastic. That’s not exactly heavy or bulky for a laptop so it’d be perfect for students and office folks. The weight of the charging brick isn’t specified but given the 90W label and drawing from experience, the overall package of around 2 kilos for everyday commute is just about the sweet spot.

Moreover, the 15.6-inch screen is an IPS panel with a Full HD resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. The colors, refresh rate, and brightness levels aren’t especially interesting but hey look at that price tag once more.

Battery and Others

Now that we are done with the major stuff, other things like battery life, ports, and connectivity also deserve mention. The battery is unfortunately the same 50Wh cell you’d get in the U-powered laptops so expect less than 4 hours of battery life because of the more powerful CPU. Onto the ports, there’s a Thunderbolt 4 port, so you can reduce some of the heft I talked about earlier by using a PD charger for both your phone and laptop. Complementing that you get three 5Gbps Type-A ports, an HDMI, an ethernet jack, and a 3.5mm audio port. Additionally, you get a backlit keyboard and a fingerprint sensor too. Regardless to say, it’s a lot of features for a budget machine.
