Samsung, the leading name in consumer electronics has launched two new ultra-short throw projectors. Dubbed as the Premiere 9 and Premier 7, both duo boast 4K resolution and HDR 10+ support. Without further ado, let’s head straight into the specs, features, and expected price of Samsung Premier projectors in Nepal.
Samsung Premier Projectors Overview
Design and Ports
Speaking of design and tech, both Samsung Premiere projectors have similarities. They both use 4K smart laser tech and visuals The difference lies in the actual projection. So, the Premiere 7 boasts a 120-inch projection with 2400 ANSI lumens brightness and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut support. Meanwhile, the Premiere 9 features a 130-inch projection size with 3200 ANSI lumens brightness and 153% DCI-P3 color gamut.
The port options are the same on both guys— 3 HDMI ports, 1x USB-A port, 1x Ethernet, 1x Digital Audio Out (Optical), and 1x Ex-Link (RS-232C).
Ambient Mode
Both Samsung Premiere projectors come with a new ambient mode. It allows the owners to display a variety of topics such as photos, color effects, or animation background scenes for a lively vibe in the room.
As these are the 2024 projectors, we have Samsung Bixby, Amazon Alexa voice assistants, Samsung SmartThings, and Matter.
Samsung Tizen OS
Running the software front is Tizen OS, a long-lost name in Samsung’s wearable market. It seems like, Tizen is not dead at all, powering the projector lineup instead. You can access your apps and popular streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Apple TV, YouTube, Sling, and such.
Samsung Premiere Projector Price in Nepal and Availability
In the US, the Samsung Preimere Projectors’ pricing starts at USD 3,000 and USD 6,000 for the Preimere 7 and Premiere 9 versions. We expect the Samsung Premiere Projector price in Nepal to start from NPR 489,999 and NPR 967,999.

This is the iQOO Z9s Pro that has just launched for some 25000 Rupees in India and for the price, it features very similar specs as the Nord CE 4, it’s like they are twins!!
I am not complaining though, here too you get the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, a gorgeous 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen and big 5500 mAh battery, which is quite competitive for the price. We have some amazing phones from OnePlus, Motorola, Nothing, Poco and even infinix. So, where does the iQOO Z9s Pro stand, let’s talk about that!!
First of all, let’s start with the design side of things. And here you get the iQOO Z9s Pro in two color variants, Blue and Orange. The Orange one has a leather back design while the other has a plastic body.
I have the Orange variant and the feel of this phone is amazing. I don’t know how iQOO has managed to fit in a 5500 mAh battery in such a slim body, but it does not look or feel bulky at all.
And the subtle curves make it feel quite handy too. iQOO has provided IP65 rating as well, which, I know is not as good as the Moto Edge 50 Fusion’s IP68, but it definitely can withstand water splashes better than something like the OnePlus Nord CE 4 or the Nothing Phone 2A’s IP54 rating.
That said, the only thing that has bugged me about the design is the glass protection. Not that there is none here, but it’s not Gorilla Glass protection, it’s actually Schott Xensation glass, so I am not sure how durable that is against drops or scratches.
By the way, the frames are made of plastic, so it’s better to case this phone up to make sure it lasts longer!
Performance and Gaming
Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 Chipset
Anyway, a lot of you guys might be concerned about heating issues due to the phone’s slim form factor, but I am happy to report that during my tests, the phone did not heat up like a volcano ever, even during heavy gaming sessions. IQOO says that they have used a 3000 mm square Vapor Chamber cooling system here and evidently, it works well.
Here are my gaming test results and you can see how stable the outcome is when it comes to the 99th Percentile and average fps, that too without ever crossing 40 degrees while playing PUBG, Mobile Legends or even Genshin impact for that matter.
The thermals here are actually better than the Nord CE 4 which features the same Snapdragon 7 Gen 3. And iQOO is one of the companies that is pretty serious about gaming, so you also get a couple of gaming specific features like 4D Game Vibration that gives you a vibration feedback in certain game actions, like when firing a gun. Then there’s motion control that can trigger different in- game controls based on gestures like tilt, lean, push, etc. 4D game vibration is a little slow in working but motion control works really nicely.
Still, you don’t have the option to play games like PUBG and COD at 90 fps here like the Poco X6 Pro though, which is even cheaper than the IQOO Z9s Pro. So, if you are really serious about gaming and performance, the X6 Pro could be a wiser option, especially considering it also comes with DDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage to support faster performance.
Memory and Storage
Up to 12GB LPDDR4X RAM
Up to 256GB UFS 2.2 storage
Here you are getting a basic DDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. Anyway, the normal performance of this phone is good, no issues. iQOO has also optimized the UI to run at either 60, 90 or 120Hz depending on the content that’s played on the screen in the auto mode. You do get the option to force 120Hz in all the apps and even then everything runs very smoothly too, so no complaints! However, I did feel like the iQOO Z9s Pro to be a little slower when switching between the multitasking tiles. I don’t know if it’s the animation, but sometimes, it feels a little laggy.
UI and Software
Android 14 with Funtouch OS 14
Other than that, the phone boots on Android 14 with Funtouch OS 14 on top and iQOO has also promised 2 years of OS and 3 years of security updates with this phone. FYI, out of the box, the phone is running on July’s security patch.
And as always, you do get a few apps pre-installed, 26 to be exact, but you can uninstall most of the ones that aren’t useful to you, and if you know your way around smartphones, it’s not going to be that big a deal for you.
Moving on, I have had a great time interacting with this display too. The touch response here is amazing and not to mention the iQOO Z9s Pro also has a nice quality AMOLED screen. It’s a 6.67-inch Full HD 10-bit display with HDR 10+ support in both YouTube and OTT platforms like Netflix and a whopping 4500 nits of peak brightness.
And if you are wondering how bright it can go in auto mode, it’s 1300 nits. In real life usage, I didn’t have much difficulty viewing things outdoors on a sunny day. It’s actually very similar to the OnePlus Nord CE 4. The trimmed down bezels also serve for a good viewing experience on this phone.
But I found a little bug in this display. When I played HDR videos in 1080p everything ran well, but as soon as I switched to 4k, the videos got visibly stuttery. And it’s not a one or two time thing, it happens all the time, so I hope iQOO will bring forth an update to fix this soon!
Speaker and Haptics
Also, I wished the haptics and speakers here were a little better too. The vibration feedback isn’t exactly buzzy, but it’s not as crisp and tight as the Nord CE 4 or the Nothing Phone 2A. And I also wish iQOO had integrated haptic feedback in the UI elements such as the brightness/ volume slider etc.
The stereo speakers here are good enough for watching reels and movies, they are loud but they can sound a little distorted and shouty when you are listening to songs with a lot of trebles.
Cameras
50 MP (OIS) Rear Camera + 8 MP UW
16 MP Front Camera
Okay let’s talk about the cameras now and we know iQOO phones have never been all about cameras and here too, the output is decent I would say.
Daytime
1 of 9
It has a 50MP Sony IMX 882 sensor and as you can see from the photos i have clicked, it produces a very punchy output with nice details and artifacts. Sometimes, the white balance can be a little off, but in good lighting, you can get some nice shots out of its camera.
However, I found that it is not able to handle dynamic range in shadow conditions that well, but besides that, the images are fairly satisfying. In fact, under harsh sunlight, it is able to handle glares and highlights so well, even better than the Nord CE 4.
Ultrawide
1 of 7
iQOO has included an ultra wide lens this time; it was missing on last year’s Z7 Pro, but since it’s only an 8MP sensor, the detail rendition is only average here. Plus, for some reason, they have an even punchier result than the primary camera, which does not look good all the time.
Portraits
1 of 6
The portraits are nice though. You also get a 2x mode for better subject focus and background blur here. They are a little processed and smoothened, so you won’t find a lot of details, but the skin tone looks pleasing to the eye, so not that big of an issue.
Selfies are nice too. Again, the beautification is there, but you get sort of an airbrushed finish in the pictures which a lot of you guys may prefer!
Night
1 of 4
But I have to tell you, the selfie videos from this phone are strictly average . The max you can shoot is 1080 30 fps, which means there is no 4k option and even then in the 1080p videos, the stabilization is not good.
There is a 4k recording option from the back camera, capped at 30 fps, and the output is not bad, EIS works pretty well to stabilize the footage. The videos are a little cropped, but usable I would say!
Battery and Charging
5500 mAh with 80W
Alright, I have saved the best for the last, because the battery life on the iQOO Z9s Pro is fantastic – all thanks to a big 5500mAh battery. So even on days with extremely heavy usage, I was able to get more than 7 hours of screen on time, that too with 20% battery left at the end of the day.
Charging is fast too, the 80 Watt charger that you get inside the box can take the phone from 0-30% in 13 minutes, 50% in about 23 minutes and 48 minutes for a complete refill.
iQOO Z9s Pro Review: Pros and Cons
Pros:
Solid Performance
Beautiful Display
Excellent Battery Life
Slim Design
Cons:
4K HDR Video Stutters
Average Haptics and Speakers
Average Camera Quality
iQOO Z9S Pro: Conclusion
Okay, conclusion time!! So, until today, my favorite phone under 25,000 was the OnePlus Nord CE 4 because it’s the most balanced value-for-money phone at that price.
Having used the iQOO Z9s Pro for a week, I can confidently say that, just like the Nord CE 4, this is also a safe option for someone who is looking for a good value midrange phone. Everything is just really balanced here, it’s got competitive performance, decent cameras, nice display, amazing battery life and more importantly – An appealing design.
Yes, the haptics and speakers could have been a little better here, but it’s not that big of a deal in my opinion. Plus, you are also getting some sick launch offers, which makes it one of the competitive phones in the sub-25K price segment.
Zeblaze BTALK 3 Plus is now available in Nepal, and the name might make you think it is a “plus size” version of the regular BTALK 3. But no, it is about the same size and is actually lighter. So what gives? Let’s discuss further in this article.
Zeblaze BTALK 3 Plus Overview
Design and Display
Right from the get-go, the Zeblaze BTALK 3 Plus looks totally different from its regular counterpart. It seems that it has taken design cues from the Google Pixel Watch and appears pretty premium. However, it comes in a plastic casing with no IP or ATM rating. Meanwhile, the base Zeblaze BTALK 3 has a metal unibody and IP68 rating.
Moving on to the display, it is pretty much the same as the regular variant. Given that, the Zeblaze BTALK 3 Plus comes with a 1.39-inch IPS panel. In terms of resolution, it stretches across 360 pixels on all sides. This watch does have 2.5D curved glass over its screen to set it apart from its standard variant. Likewise, the Champagne Gold and Orchid colours that this watch comes in are quite unique and flavourful. Then there is the Jet Black option to please a wider mass.
Feature-wise, the Zeblaze BTALK 3 and 3 Plus are essentially the same. It comes with a handful of sensors for fitness and activity tracking. The watch can track your heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, and menstrual cycle. Similarly, it detects the users’ breathing rate and alerts them of any abnormalities in their heart rate too. For fitness freaks, the watch offers over 100 fitness modes and provides a detailed insight into their exercise or activity session. Other than that, you can connect the Zeblaze BTALK 3 Plus to a smartphone via Bluetooth v5.2 and make or receive calls, access voice assistants, and get app notifications.
In the tank, it packs a 260mAh battery which is over 10% larger in capacity than its base model. With this, the watch can last up to 14 days on regular use. The number halves when you increase the usage intensity. When out of charge, it fully refills in just 1.5 hours. A magnetic charger is bundled with the Zeblaze BTALK 3 Plus in the box.
Zeblaze BTALK 3 Plus Specifications
Design: Circular dial, Pixel Watch-like, No IP or ATM rating
Instagram is introducing a new feature that lets users add a song to their profile. It’s similar to Myspace’s classic feature, where users can customize their profiles with their favourite music tracks. In this article, we’ll dive deep into how it works and what you need to know.
Instagram’s music feature overview
A nostalgic nod to Myspace
Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat are some of the extremely popular social media platforms these days, but have you heard about Myspace? Probably if you are a millennial. Well, it is a social networking website that was on hype almost two decades ago.
People used to connect online, post pictures, share music and stuff. While this app is almost no longer in use, Instagram has announced a ‘song on profile’ feature that is very similar to Myspace. A nostalgic trip back to the early 2000s.
As you can see in the tweet above, users can add music to their profile that will show up in the bio area.
“Your chosen song will be displayed on your profile until you decide to change it. When the play button is tapped, only a 30-second clip of the song will play” Instagram said in a statement
You will always have the option to change the song by going to the edit profile section where you will be able to search for and select a track from Instagram’s library of licensed music. Now that Instagram’s new feature is here, you can slide into the DMs of people you like by fangirling over their music.
While Instagram also has a “Note” feature that lets you add songs to your messages, they disappear after 24 hours. But on ‘song on profile’ you can keep them as long as you want – so those tunes are basically your personal soundtrack! This feature looks like a good blend of nostalgia and modernity echoing the early days of Myspace while integrating seamlessly into today’s social media landscape.
Realme launched Pad 2, a budget-friendly tablet in July last year. Now the company is working on its successor and various sources have spotted it in different certification platforms. We will go through all the details and rumours of the Realme Pad 3 in this article.
Realme Pad 3 Rumours Round-up
Certifications
Gizmochina spotted a new tablet from Realme in the IMEI database at the beginning of July. Now, 91mobiles have spotted the tablet in BIS and Camera FV 5 certification sites. While not many details apart from that of cameras have been uncovered, we can see it carrying the “RMP2402” model number in all the listings.
The Camera FV 5 listing reveals both the front and back of the Realme Pad 3 will have a single camera. The rear shooter will be an 8MP unit with up to 3,264 x 2,448 pixels, 2.8mm focal length, and ƒ/2.0 aperture. Similarly, there will be a 5MP on the front with up to 2,592 x 1,944 resolution, 2.2mm focal length, and ƒ/2.2 aperture. Meanwhile, the IMEI certification suggests it could be launched in WiFi-only as well as a cellular variant.
Realme Pad 2
No other details on the tablet are available as of now. However, we can expect the Realme Pad 3 to carry the same screen as its predecessor. That being said, it might have an 11.5-inch LCD with 2K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. In contrast, this tablet might see an incremental upgrade on the processor. Given that the Realme Pad 2 packed the MediaTek Helio G99, the Helio G100 seems like an ideal candidate for this year’s tablet. But we will have to wait and see.
Realme Pad 3 Launch and Availability
There are neither any official words nor leaks on the potential launch date of the Realme Pad 3. In fact, Realme itself hasn’t actually mentioned anything about the tablet so far. But all the certifications the tablet is gathering suggest a sooner launch than later. Likewise, the BIS listing implies that the Realme Pad 3 will definitely launch in India.
Meanwhile, check out our Realme Pad 2 review video:
The Redmi 14C is one of the devices Xiaomi is planning to launch for the coming year. However, it was accidentally listed a tad bit early on a Vietnamese retailer’s website, leading to a leak of some details and images. In this article, we will be looking into all the information available on the Redmi 14C so far.
Redmi 14C Rumours Round-up
Design and Display
Talking of the design, the Redmi 14C looks like the Oppo F27 5G with the large circular camera island aligned to the centre and four cutouts. That being said, this phone looks distinctly different from its predecessor i.e. Redmi 13C. This leak came with the product images, hence, we got a chance to have a good look at the phone.
1 of 2
The Redmi 14C will be available in three different colors. The green comes with a leather finish and the black one looks pretty standard. Meanwhile, the blue one pops with a gradient finish and pattern. It reminds me of that one scene from Moonknight (the MCU series). On the front, it will have a massive 6.88-inch LCD panel, which is actually bigger than the Galaxy S24 Ultra‘s 6.8-inch display. Although it will only have an HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the Redmi 14C will have the MediaTek Helio G91 Ultra chipset. We saw this processor on other Xiaomi offerings like the Redmi 13 and Poco M6 4G. Similar to the case of MediaTek Helio G99 and G99 Ultra, the “Ultra” namesake appears to be just a marketing gimmick with no actual change in the processor. Other than that, the phone will be available in two configurations: 4GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 128GB.
In the tank, it packs a 5,160mAh battery with a modest 18W fast charging. Talking of the cameras, the Redmi 14C has four cutouts. However, one is just a decor while the LED flash sits under the next one. Given that, we are left with just two camera units, out of which the primary is a 50MP shooter. Furthermore, there is an auxiliary lens, the detail of which remains under wraps. It is likely a low-resolution depth sensor.
Redmi 14C Specifications (Rumoured)
Design: Flat edges with a large centre-aligned circular camera island on the back
Rear Camera: Dual Camera (50MP Primary + depth sensor)
Battery: 5,160 mAh with 18W TurboPower charging
Colour Options: Green, Black, Blue
Redmi 14C Launch and Availability
The Redmi 14C will officially launch on 31 August 2024, which isn’t far away. No information about the price is available as of now. But we can expect it to be around the same pricing as its predecessor.
Meanwhile, check out our Redmi 13 5G review video:
Motorola has been working restlessly in recent times. They launched a handful of smartphones and the Motorola Edge 50 Neo is still in the pipeline. Now, various sources have dug some information about another one of their offerings. Here, we will discuss all the rumours and info about the upcoming Moto G55 5G!
Moto G55 5G Rumours Round-up
Leaks
91mobiles got their hands on some renders and promotional material through one of their sources. This leak also reveals some key specs and features of the Moto G55 5G.
Leaked Renders
1 of 2
What’s coming?
Design
The Moto G55 5G is in line with a lot of Motorola’s recent offerings. It appears the company is going for a uniform look for its phones. As such, it comes with a seamless camera island that blends into the back panel. However, the camera bump appears to be a bit chunkier in here.
A render for the black colour option of the phone was leaked, and it does not appear to have a leather finish like other Moto offerings this year. 91mobile also said that the Moto G55 5G would be available in Green and Purple shades. Other than that, the promo material reveals that the phone will be IP54 rated and will don Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection upfront. No info on the display is available as of now, but we can expect it to be an LCD panel.
In the same leak, we got to know that the Moto G55 5G would be rocking a MediaTek Dimensity chipset. But which one? The detail on that has been left out. We can do some guesswork and try to figure it out. The Moto G45 5G that launched a few days ago had the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. Given this phone is lower on the hierarchy than the upcoming Moto G55 5G, it should have a better chipset.
That being said, the MediaTek Dimensity 7200, or even 7300 seems to be an ideal candidate. The MediaTek Dimensity 7025 also offers just enough upgrades to be in the conversation. On a side note, this chip was introduced with the Moto G64 earlier this year. Furthermore, you will get up to 8GB RAM on the Moto G55 5G with the RAM Boost option. Likewise, this phone will be available with up to 256GB UFS 2.2 storage.
Camera and the rest
In terms of optics, the Moto G55 5G will have two lenses on the back. The main one will be a 50MP unit with OIS while the auxiliary lens will be an 8MP ultrawide shooter that can double down as a macro lens. Similarly, it will have a 16MP selfie camera on the front.
1 of 3
This phone packs a 5,000 mAh cell for power and supports 30W TurboPower charging to juice it up. You can enjoy Dolby Atmos audio with a stereo speaker setup on the Moto G55 5G.
Moto G55 5G Specifications (Rumoured)
Design: Standard Motorola design with seamless camera bump, IP54-rated
Display: LCD*, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection
Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity (7200 or 7300 or 7025)*
RAM: Up to 8GB + RAM Boost (India exclusive: Up to 12GB)
ROM: Up to 256GB UFS 2.2
Rear Camera: Dual Camera (50MP Primary with OIS + 8MP Ultrawide/Macro)
Front Camera: 16MP Camera (Centre-aligned hole-punch cutout)
Battery: 5,000 mAh with 30W TurboPower charging
Colour Options: Black, Green, Purple
Moto G55 5G Launch and Availability
There are no words on when exactly the phone is launching. Looking back, when promotional materials of the Motorola Edge 50 leaked, the company announced the phone within a week or two. If we are to go by that, the Moto G55 5G’s imminent launch isn’t that far off.
Meanwhile, check out our iQOO Z9s Pro review video:
Honor launched the Magic 6 series earlier this year and they were pretty solid offerings. Now buzz for Honor’s next-generation flagship offerings has started generating. In this article, we will be looking at all the talks going around about the Honor Magic 7 series.
Honor Magic 7 Series Rumours Round-up
What’s the talk?
Firstly, sources are expecting the Honor Magic 7 series to follow the steps of its predecessor and offer four choices: the base model, Magic 7 Pro, Magic 7 Ultimate, and Magic 7 RSR Porsche Design.
In the meantime, a Chinese tech news portal — CNMO, reported on the “leaks” of Honor Magic 7 Pro circulating on the internet. The report even shared a mock render of the phone.
Honor Magic 7 Pro
The supposed leak of the Honor Magic 7 Pro goes into great detail and lists out some of the key specs.
Design and Display
Starting with the design, the render shows the phone to have four cutouts on the camera island. The fourth cutout appears to be the flash. Additionally, the leak suggests the phone will boast an IP68 as well as an IP69 rating. Meanwhile, it might don the next generation of Kunlun Glass for screen protection.
Talking of the screen, the Honor Magic 7 Pro is expected to have a dual-layer 8T LTPO OLED panel with curved edges all around. Furthermore, it is expected to measure 6.82 inches diagonally, stretch 2K in resolution and offer a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 appears to be the processor of choice. Unsurprising. Additional performance hardware includes LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. Other than that, we can expect it to have a C1+ signal enhancing and E1 efficiency chip as well.
The Honor Magic 7 Pro is also expected to pack a 5,800 mAh third-generation silicon carbon battery with support for 100W wired and 66W wireless charging. We saw this battery and the C1+ in the Honor Magic V3 which launched in July this year.
Cameras
Talking of cameras, the Honor Magic 6 Pro made waves with its 180-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. While the claims with the zoom camera are a bit uncertain. It seems certain that Honor is sidelining the 180MP shooter.
Rumours suggest the company will either go with a 50MP Sony IMX882 or 200MP Samsung HP3 sensor. Regardless of whatever happens with the telephoto lens, it appears all the other shooters will be 50MP units, including the front-facing camera. Here the primary shooter is said to be OmniVision OV50H while the selfie shooter will be coupled with 3D depth sensors.
Honor Magic 7 Series Launch and Availability
The Honor Magic 6 series launched in mid-January this year. However, sources say that the upcoming flagship will be out of the oven a little earlier and will go public in November. Given that Qualcomm is planning to announce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 in October, the Honor Magic 7 series launching in November doesn’t sound implausible.
Note: Everything we’ve heard so far hasn’t come from credible sources. So, there are chances that the information we mentioned above might go south.
Meanwhile, check out our Honor Magic 6 Pro review video:
Vivo launched the Y03t in the Philippines just a few days ago, and we also talked about its possible launch in India. Launch it did but with a different name — Vivo Y18i. In this article, we will talk all about this phone along with its expected price in Nepal.
Vivo Y18i Overview
Design and Display
The Vivo Y18i is the same thing as the Y03t, which by extension is pretty much the same as the Y03. Given that, this phone comes with IP54 dust and water resistance and two colour choices. The Gem Green option has lined patterns on the back while the Space Black one is pretty standard and has nothing fancy going on.
For display, it comes with an LCD panel measuring 6.56 inches. The Vivo Y18i display stretches HD+ in resolution and offers a refresh rate of up to 90Hz. Similarly, it is graded to cover 70% NTSC colour gamut and can go as bright as 528 nits.
Performance
Meanwhile, the performance side of things is handled by the UNISOC T612 processor. It is an octa-core processor with 12nm fabrication and a peak clock speed of 1.8GHz. The Vivo Y18i ships in a single 4GB + 64GB configuration, which is half the storage offering of the Vivo Y03t. This is one of the key differences between the two phones. The phone also allows you to virtually double the memory and expand the storage up to 1TB.
A 13MP primary camera and a 5MP selfie shooter handle the imaging side of things. There is also an auxiliary camera on the back, however, it is just a 0.08MP unit. Vivo has not mentioned what purpose this measly resolution lens serves on the Y18i serves. Hence, we assume it’s there just for the decor and nothing else.
A 5,000 mAh battery powers the phone, which supports 15W charging speed. Other than that, it comes with dual SIM, 4G cellular, dual-band WiFi 5, and Bluetooth v5.0 support. For wired connections, it comes with a USB 2.0 Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Vivo Y18i Price in Nepal and Availability
This smartphone is available to purchase in India through official mediums for INR 7,999. Similar to the Vivo Y03t, this phone might not be available here, since we already have the regular Y03. And if it does arrive here, we expect the Vivo Y18i price in Nepal to be around NPR 13,499.
