Taiwanese electronics company Asus recently unveiled their ‘ZenBook 14 Air’ measuring just 11mm thin and weighting close to 1100 grams. So, here let’s take a quick peek at the new ultrabook, its specs, features, and expected price in Nepal.
Asus Zenbook 14 Air Overview
Design and Display
The primary focus of the new Zenbook is on the ‘Air ’ness of the overall package. As I said earlier, the laptop is just around 1.1 cm thick and weighs just a little more than a kg. It’s got a sleek-looking design with a unibody metallic build and artistic lines on the lid. And to top if off, both the ‘Snow White’ and ‘Mountain Gray’ look equally as stunning and sophisticated.
On the front, you are greeted with a gorgeous OLED screen with all the goodies of Asus’ Lumina branding. That means accurate colors out of the box, fast response, and less harmful blue light. Specifically, you are getting a 120Hz 2.8k screen with 10-bit colors, 100% DCI P3 coverage, and a peak brightness of 600 nits.
Processor and Memory
Given the slim form factor, Intel’s new Lunar Lake Core Ultra 7 258V chipset makes a lot of sense for the Zenbook 14 Air. This efficient chip brings improved battery life, newer graphics, and a dedicated Neural Processing Unit for AI-related tasks. Asus says the overall AI prowess is over 115 TOPS but that includes the CPU, GPU, and NPU. The latter pushes 47 TOPS on its own which sits in between the competition like AMD’s Hawk Point and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite offerings.
As for the memory, the RAM is of course soldered to the system board but you can get up to 32GB of it and pair it with a 1TB NVME Gen 4 SSD. To keep things in check, there are two fans and some vapor chambers inside. Given that the overall system draw is just 28W, those cooling solutions should suffice in most scenarios and as such Asus claims the ultrabook operates below 25dB for light workloads.
Battery and Ports
For a such a light and compact machine, the ZenBook 14 surprises with its relatively big 72Wh Lithium battery and claims of up to a ridiculous 22 hours of endurance. There are lots of ports too, a full sized HDMI 2.1, a type-A, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. There’s also a 3.5mm jack for your audio needs alongside integrated WiFi 7 capabilities.
Audio: Stereo Harman Kardon speakers with Dolby Atmos
Battery: 75 Wh battery
PowerSupply: 65W USB-C AC power adapter
Webcam: 1080p Full HD
Connectivity: Dual-band WiFi 802.11be , Bluetooth 5.4

Asus ZenBook 14 Air Price in Nepal and Availability
The new ZenBook is now available for pre-order in China for CNY 8,999. If it makes it here, we expect the Asus ZenBook 14 Air price in Nepal to start from NPR 199,999.

In the camera department, you get a total of three shooters. The primary of which is a 50MP unit. It is coupled with a 2MP AI camera, which is there just for decoration. On the front, it has an 8MP shooter which utilises the screen as a flash during low-light conditions. As I mentioned earlier, the Lava Blaze 3 5G has a “Vibe Light” on the back and highlighted its usage. In the meantime, it also has the traditional flash alongside it.
A 5,000 mAh battery powers the phone which offers over eight hours of continuous YouTube playback. In terms of charging, it supports 18W of speed and takes a little over two hours to go from 0 to 100. It supports dual SIM 5G, dual-band WiFi 5, and Bluetooth v5.2 for wireless connectivity.

So, the next big software update for iPhones is here everyone, the iOS 18. In this article, I am going to tell you about the top features of iOS 18, when it coming, and all the iPhones that will be getting the latest software.
iOS 18 Overview
Now, I have to get it out of my system. With this year’s updates, I have started feeling like iOS is actually becoming more like Android. I mean, listening to some of the things that have changed. RCS messaging instead of SMS, customizable control center, home screen customization, widget customization, AI integration and so much more. And it is enough for me to get most convinced!
Personally, rather than the customization options, I am more excited to talk about all the AI features of the iOS 18, which I will get to towards the end of the video, so pls do stick till the end.
Features
A redesigned control center
Ok, first of all, the biggest change with the iOS 18 is the redesign of the control center. You will finally be able to access a wider number of options from the control center. You can also resize and change the layout of elements there. Moreover, if you want to add more controls, just long press like this and do it, or press the “+” icon on the top left. Easy!
And when you swipe up or down from the right like this, you can toggle between different tiles or pages too. You can also tap on the icon here like this or just drag your fingers with really cool animation and haptic feedback.
There is this little squeeze animation when you toggle the volume buttons too. It’s nothing major honestly, but looks cute and is a little interactive. You also get a similar animation when you take a screenshot too!
Home Screen Customizations
Then comes Home Screen customization and Apple finally lets you place an app wherever you like on your home screen. Not just that, you can customize a theme for your home screen too. Just long press on the screen like this, go to customization, and choose between the given options.
My favorite is the Tined option, that gives you sort of a monochrome vibe! So, overall, you are getting a lot more freedom than you ever had before with iOS 18.
Also, you can choose different shortcuts in the lock screen as well, in place of the usual camera and flash shortcuts. You cannot opt for any app though, there are a couple of options that Apple provides and choose between them only, for now.
Hide and Lock Apps
Next, you can finally Lock and Hide apps on your iPhone without having to turn to third-party app solutions just like on Android 15. You get the option to lock an app by setting authentication such as FaceID, Touch ID, or Passcode. You can also hide your top secret or private apps in a separate folder like this and again, it will require authentication to access those too.
And just like how it is on Android 15, these apps will not be visible in search or recent menus.
Besides that, one other privacy feature Apple has added is, giving users full control over which contacts third-party apps can access. Not all apps need all the contact information, so this way, you will be able to limit the access of your important contacts.
Some texting options
Okay next, messaging is going to be a lot more fun on iOS 18. First of all, you will be able to choose from a wide selection of emojis to react to iMessages. Previously, it was limited to a few options, but not anymore.
You also get a few text formatting options this time, like underlining certain text, or making them bold or italicized them and you can also add effects to the text to spice them up.
Satellite Messaging
Apple has also added a satellite messaging option that automatically prompts users to connect to their nearest satellite from the messaging app itself. And now, it not only supports text, but emojis too! But again, like the Emergency SOS feature, this one might not be available in all regions!
That being said, probably the most exciting is the ability to schedule messages. Again, this feature has been there on Android for a long time, just like most of Apple’s upgrades this year, but because my primary phone is an iPhone, it’s a little easier for me to schedule birthday messages for my friends and family. I always forget to wish them!!
RCS is finally coming!
And finally, finally, RCS is coming to messages with the new iOS 18. Oh, and now when you dial a number, you get related suggestions like this. You can also record your calls, and transcribe the audio to text while calling or recording an audio.
Changes on the Photo app
Moving on, the photos app is also getting a few changes here and there. You are getting a different layout first of all, with all your photo previews on the top while you can also access the library at the bottom, which is organized by theme.
Searching for specific images is also easier now, as the iOS 18 helps filter out specific types of photos easily. Screenshots for example can be filtered out like this or easier access.
Gaming mode?
Likewise, the gamers out there will be delighted to know that iPhones are getting a dedicated game mode. What it is going to do is, limit all the background activities so that you can play your games in an uninterrupted manner.
Right now, it is limited to one or two games only, but once developers optimize it for more and more apps, it is going to be a holy grail for gamers!
Eye Tracking
Apple has also introduced something called Eye Tracking which is primarily designed for people with physical disabilities. It’s similar to how Eye Tracking works on the Vision Pro, you just need to set it up from the accessibility settings and you can navigate different options by looking at them and you have to stare at a particular option to select them.
I tried it on my phone and yes, it does work, but not very well, it actually caused a lot of strain to my eyes.
Apple Intelligence
Now let’s talk about AI. And contrary to what we thought AI stands for, Artificial Intelligence, Apple has coined a totally different Full Form for it, for Apple, AI is Apple Intelligence!
But before that, you have to know that these AI features are going to be available for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max only because they come with the more advanced A17 Pro chip. These are free to use on these models though!
Genmoji
Anyway, one of my favorite AI features on iOS 18 is the ability to create your own emojis. Apple calls it Genmoji. You can generate emojis of your own choice while messaging within the messages app. For instance, I can create an emoji like a cat wearing a skirt and a hat.
What’s even more cool is that you can generate emojis that look like your friends based on the photos you have in your gallery like this. Group chats are going to get a lot more fun now!
On-device AI
And not just that, there is also an on-device text-to-image generator built into Messages on iOS 18. Here you will not even need to type a fully structured prompt, just add phrases to describe the image you want and it does the job for you.
Apple is calling it Image Playground and it will not only be dedicated to apps like messages, but Apple says they are developing a separate app for this too.
Also, Siri, my dear sister, has also gotten some AI capabilities. You can now give specific commands to Siri like open a document like Open “Windows Final Video” or show me a picture of me and my dog and she will do so! You can command Siri to flip the camera or edit a photo, anything! Siri is going to be able to understand and operate a lot of different commands with the new update!
Besides this, the bigger news is, you will now get Chat GPT built-in on iPhones based on the ChatGPT 4 model. It will be integrated with Siri where you can ask your questions and get answers. The good thing is, the data won’t be logged. And Siri will ask permission before sharing the questions or other information.
AI here, there, and everywhere
The photos app has gotten a little AI of its own too. For instance, you can prompt Siri to search through your library to find something very specific. For eg, like a photo of your cat drinking water or it could be something that happens in the middle of a video too. So, no more individually searching for photos or even videos!
Along with that, AI is going to be a big part of managing notifications as well. Apple says your iPhone will be able to sort the “most important” notifications at the top of your feed. And not just that, it will even include short summaries of other stacked notifications as you scroll down.
So, yeah, a lot of cool updates this time with the new iOS 18. And with the upcoming iPhone 16 launch in September, we can expect the new A18 Pro chipset to feature an even more powerful NPU for all the AI features. And since this is just the first beta release, we will be seeing more features and improvements too with the final release.
iOS 18 Launch and Availability
The iOS 18 officially rolled out on 16 September 2024 at 5 PM UTC, translating to 10:45 PM the same day for Nepali folks. That being said, all the iPhones launched in 2018 and later will be getting the software update. Let me list down all of them here:

You can opt to receive only the security patches on iOS 17.7 instead of iOS 18 too, which also launches on the same day. Furthermore, if you are looking forward to getting the shiny new Apple Intelligence, you will have to wait a little longer. The AI side of things will be baked into iOS 18.1, not on this version. Also, let me once again remind you that the Apple AI will only be available to iPhone 15 Pro phones and later due to hardware constraints.
Apple recently held its annual launch event and announced its new batch of products, including the new AirPods. However, that’s not all there was to the event. Apple also announced that they were updating the AirPods Pro 2 such that it could be used as an OTC hearing aid device. Now they have received the green light from the FDA for it too!
AirPods Pro 2 as OTC Hearing Aid Overview
Initial Announcement
Though Apple’s most popular audio accessory did not receive any hardware updates this year, it did get nifty software updates. These updates would effectively convert the AirPods Pro 2 into an OTC hearing Aid! Apple loves to add health-conscious features to their offerings. They’ve done it with the iPhones, the Apple Watches, and now to AirPods too!
During the launch event, Apple stated AirPods Pro 2 would get three new health features related to hearing loss. Firstly, they would add “Hearing Protection” to prevent users from loud noise exposure. The H2 chip on the earbuds will be constantly reducing the noise 48,000 times per second to achieve this. Secondly, they introduced a clinically validated Hearing Test which users could take in just five minutes. Through this test, you could learn if you have any form of hearing loss.
Lastly, Apple announced that AirPods Pro 2 would have a clinical-grade over-the-counter Hearing Aid feature. This test would help determine the specific kind of sound you will require assistance with, and then boost it accordingly. Furthermore, the audio output for all the apps across all your Apple devices would be automatically adjusted according to your hearing profile.
At the moment of the announcement, FDA and other regulators were yet to approve the Hearing Aid Feature on the AirPods Pro 2. Meaning that Apple only received the clinical grading from the private firms they were collaborating with. However, on 12 September 2024 — just days after the announcement of this feature, it received the FDA’s approval. Now, consumers could get the AirPods Pro 2 as an OTC Hearing Aid for themselves!
This is monumental, as HAF is the first-ever hearing aid software authorised by the US regulator. They evaluated this software in a clinical study with 118 subjects with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss in the US. The results showed that using AirPods 2 Pro as an OTC Hearing Aid performs similarly to actual medical equipment. Additionally, no adverse effects were observed in the subjects. FDA also says that the Apple earbuds offer comparable performance in measuring levels of amplification in the ear canal, as well as a measure of speech understanding in noise.
AirPods Pro 2 as OTC Hearing Aid Conclusion
As per Apple’s own study, a large chunk of people are oblivious to the fact that they have hearing loss. And the majority of them do not seek medical attention until it’s already too late. Hence, following the FDA approval, tests for hearing loss will be much more accessible to the general public.
Moreover, as it is a software update, people who already own the Apple earbuds will have access to this feature. And for those who don’t, they will be spending way less fortune on the AirPods Pro 2 than on the actual OTC Hearing Aid. The HAF will be available in over 100+ countries in the coming few months. Lastly, AirPods Pro 2 are only effective for people with mild to moderate hearing loss and not for individuals with severe cases — they will have to seek medical attention.
Xiaomi seemingly produces everything — from accessories to electric vehicles. Adding to their wide catalogue of products, the Chinese brand introduced a new power bank that can apparently charge your devices at a whopping speed of 165W! In this article, we will talk about the Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 165W in further detail including its expected price in Nepal.
Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 165W Overview
Design
Right off the bat, Xiaomi is on to something with this power bank. It is slim, sleek, and truly unique, even when compared with other power banks from the company. The Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 165W is slender, appears to have a matte finish, and looks premium. It has a built-in USB-C cord sparing users the hassle of carrying additional cables around and getting all tangled up. You could still choose to, but only one. This is because the only other port this power bank features is a single USB-C port.
What adds to its opulent aesthetic is the inclusion of a front display, which stands out from the usual white-scale digital displays seen on power banks. Instead, it features a full-on colour display that shows battery percentage differently when the device is on standby, charging, or powering other devices. It also provides the time taken for charging and discharging. Furthermore, it appears that the Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 165W is the first battery bank from the company to have a display!
It’s no surprise that the total capacity of this power bank is 10,000mAh, it’s literally on the name. Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 165W packs four 2,500mAh cells in 2S2P configuration and actually has a rated capacity of 5,500mAh (5V/4A). Also, this power bank is a 36Wh unit and complies with the international aviation standard. In other words, you can take it in an aeroplane without any issue.
Moving on, saying that the Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 offers 165W output is a bit misleading but technically correct. In reality, it is more like 120W + 45W of output, meaning that this power bank cannot hit a peak charging speed of 165W from a single outlet. Here, the built-in cord offers a charging speed of up to 120W while the USB-C port is capped at 45W. That being said, it still fast charges two devices simultaneously and supports fast charging of up to 90W for itself reaching 55% in just 15 minutes. With all the high-speed charging going on Xiaomi hasn’t forgotten to throw in a high-precision temperature monitor and an advanced control management chip for safety measures.
Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 165W Specifications
Design: Slender build with a matte finish
Capacity: 10,000 mAh (4x 2,500 mAh cell in 2S2P configuration), 36Wh
Features: Fast charging two devices simultaneously, Colour Display, Temperature monitor and control management chip for safety
Ports: 1x USB Type-C (Input/Output), 1x built-in USB-C cord
Colour: Light Grey
Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 165W Price in Nepal and Availability
This power bank is available for pre-order with a deposit of CNY 30. However, the actual price for it is CNY 229. There are no official words on whether or not it will be expanded to foreign markets. If it ever arrives here in Nepal, we expect the price of Xiaomi Power Bank 10000 165W to be NPR 5,199.

Because a TV is a long-term investment, buying the perfect one for your need is crucial. But with so many options available, one can fall victim to manufacturers’ marketing schemes—and ultimately buy an inferior product. And while Full HD TVs are the most common ones in the budget category, you can also get nice 4K TVs these days without spending too much. So to help you make an informed purchase decision, we have curated this list of the best budget 4K TV under NPR 70000 in Nepal.
Best Budget 4K TV under NPR 70000 in Nepal:
3. TCL 43P635 4K Smart TV
TCL’s impressive 43P635 4K TV takes the third spot on our list of best budget 4K TV under NPR 70000 in Nepal. Instead of the traditional edge-lit LED backlights that you’ll find on most LED TVs, this one uses a direct-lit LED backlight with 1,296 micro dimming zones. That basically means it is comparably richer in contrast levels and color details. TCL has also paired this with its proprietary Dynamic Color Enhancement algorithm for further optimizing color saturation. All this doesn’t put it anywhere near an OLED—or even a QLED TV for that matter—but it’s pretty impressive stuff for a regular LED TV.
The 43P635 runs on the latest Google TV platform out-of-the-box and you can binge content from all your favorite streaming platforms like YouTube, Netflix, Prime Video, Sony LIV, etc. here. It also lets you control Google Home-ready devices hands-free. Audio-wise, this TCL TV gets a standard set of down-firing stereo speakers with a total 20W of output. Although it natively can’t decode any multi-dimensional surround sound codec by itself, it does support Dolby Audio for well-detailed audio output. It also comes with HDMI 2.1 ports, which means you can connect up to 4K 120Hz sources with low input lag.
Connectivity: WiFi (dual band), Bluetooth 5.0, 3x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB 2.0, 1x AV in, 1x Ethernet
Price in Nepal: NPR 47,990
2. Redmi Smart TV X Series 4K (43)
Okay, the silver medal on our list of the best budget 4K TV under NPR 70000 in Nepal goes to the newly launched Redmi Smart TV X Series (43). Xiaomi has always been known for its excellent value-for-money products, and this TV puts the company further cements that legacy. That’s because the Redmi Smart TV X Series introduces a bunch of high-end features like Dolby Vision HDR, DTS Virtual:X, and HDMI 2.1 connection—which is pretty uncommon in the budget TV arena. Its display is tuned by Xiaomi’s proprietary Vivid Picture Engine, and it covers an impressive 92% DCI-P3 and 85% NTSC color gamut.
In terms of audio, this TV has powerful 30W stereo speakers with Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X surround sound technology. And if you have Dolby Atmos-compatible speakers or soundbars instead, the Redmi Smart TV X Series does support Dolby Atmos pass-through via the single eARC-ready HDMI 2.1 port. As for the software, it runs on Android TV 10 alongside Xiaomi’s PatchWall 4 (with IMDb) content recommendation system. But unfortunately, PatchWall doesn’t work here in Nepal just yet. Powering this TV is a fairly powerful quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage.
Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth, 3x HDMI 2.1, 2x USB 2.0, 1x AV in, 1x Earphone, 1x Ethernet, 1x Optical audio
Price in Nepal: NPR 54,999
1. Xiaomi Mi TV 5X 4K (43)
With that out of the way, we’re awarding the Xiaomi Mi TV 5X 4K (43) our gold medal in this list of best budget 4K TV under NPR 70000 in Nepal. Like the Redmi Smart TV X Series, this one also boasts an incredible value proposition which is why it’s managed to take the number one spot. It shares a lot of similar specs with the Redmi TV, but it does have a few extra tricks up its sleeves for the added price. Most notably, Xiaomi has tried to distinguish these two TVs with their build quality. While the Xiaomi Mi TV 5X has a more premium design with its metal frame, metal base, and carbon fiber finish at the back, the Redmi Smart TV X Series is pretty much entirely plastic-made.
Xiaomi says it has also used the second-generation Vivid Picture Engine (VPE), contrary to the first-gen VPE on the Redmi TV. With this, you can expect even more nuanced colors, contrast, and brightness adjustment here. It has adaptive brightness support as well which automatically adjusts the TV’s brightness level based on the ambient lighting condition. Although it retains Dolby Audio and DTS-HD decoding, Xiaomi has swapped DTS Virtual:X in favor of Dolby Atmos surround sound on this TV. Other than this, the Mi TV 5X is powered by the same quad-core processor and it runs on Android TV 10 too.
Buying a new TV can be a challenging task, particularly when you’re on a budget. While brands have been trying their best to fit all the desirable features within the family budget, picking the best one for your needs might turn out to be a tedious task. Especially in the NPR 60000 price bracket in Nepal, which is mostly crowded with HD and FHD TVs. So, in this article, we have compiled a list of the best 43” TV available in Nepal under the price tag of NPR 60000.
Best 43” TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal:
12. Panasonic TH-42JS650N FHD Smart TV
Contrary to other entries in this list, the JS650 features a 42″ display. Moreover, it has Full HD resolution and Vivid Digital Pro color engine. For audio, there are two bottom-firing speakers with Audio Booster+ support and 20W of total output.
The TV boots on Android TV 9 and has 8GB of internal memory. In terms of ports, there are two HDMI 1.4, two USB-A, one Digital Audio out, and one headphone jack port. Furthermore, the Panasonic JS650 comes with a Bluetooth remote that supports Google Assistant voice control. Here, you also get built-in Chromecast and other Google services support.
Panasonic TH-42JS650N FHD Smart TV Specifications:
Taking the eleventh spot on our list of best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal is Xiaomi’s Mi TV 4A (43) Horizon Edition. It is basically the same as the regular Mi TV 4A, but Xiaomi has managed to shave off some bezel here for a more immersive viewing experience. According to Xiaomi, it achieves an impressive 95% screen-to-bezel (STB) ratio. Anyway, this TV has the same Vivid Picture engine that you’d find on most other Xiaomi TVs for sharp, colorful picture quality.
It runs on Android TV 9, with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage for all your apps and whatnot. You can also wirelessly stream your Chromecast-compatible smartphone’s content to this TV.

10. Redmi Smart TV 43 (FHD)
At number ten, we have yet another entry from Xiaomi. The Redmi Smart TV 43 (FHD) is not to be confused with the more premium Redmi Smart TV X Series (4K), which takes the second spot on our list of best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal. Instead, this is a Full HD TV with a pretty basic set of specs—similar to what the Mi TV 4A has. It has the same Vivid Picture Engine, with a display panel capable of covering over 16 million colors.
As for audio, the Redmi Smart TV 43 has got 20W stereo speakers that support DTS-HD, DTS Virtual:X, and Dolby Audio. It runs on Android TV 11 and you can stream from multiple OTT platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Sony Liv, and Disney+ Hotstar here.

Price in Nepal: NPR 44,999
9. Skyworth 43STD6500 FHD Smart TV
Next up, we have the Skyworth 43STD6500. This 43″ 1080p Smart TV runs on Android TV 11, which is a fairly new version of Android TV OS. And easily the newest version compared to most other entries in this list of best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal. That means you get to browse the TV through a more modern-looking interface with relatively better responsiveness and more features.
Other than this, the Skyworth 43STD6500 also has an attractive design with a metal back and minimal bezel on all sides except the chin. It also comes with a proprietary Trochilus Extreme 2.0 picture engine for more vivid colors. And it has Skyworth’s Eye Care Flicker Free technology for a more comfortable viewing experience as well. For audio, its stereo speakers come with Dolby Audio multi-channel processing.
Skyworth 43STD6500 FHD Smart TV Specifications:
Display: 43″ IPS LED panel, Trochilus Extreme 2.0, Eye Care Flicker Free
At number 8 on our list of best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal is the Hisense 43A6200F Android TV. It comes pre-installed with Android TV 9 and is coupled with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. This TV boasts an A+ certified IPS screen with a 178º viewing angle and a Full HD resolution. As it is a certified Android TV, you will be able to access all Google services here.
Moreover, the connectivity options on the A6200F include WiFi, Bluetooth, two HDMI, one USB, one digital audio out, and one LAN port. In terms of audio, there are two 10W speakers with DTS surround sound capability.
Xiaomi Nepal recently launched five new TVs in the market, and the Xiaomi Smart TV 5A has deservedly found its way onto our list of best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal as well. With this, the company has tried to deliver a similar experience as the more expensive “X Series” TVs down below, but on a relatively affordable package. First off, it scales down to Full HD resolution instead of 4K while it also misses out on Dolby Vision HDR. Or any other HDR standard for that matter.
It has a narrower color gamut too. Other than this, the Xiaomi Smart TV 5A Series boasts a fairly premium metal design complemented by minimal bezels. The company has gone with 24W stereo speakers powered by Dolby Audio on this TV. Running the show here is Android TV 11, with 1.5GB RAM and 8GB internal storage.
Xiaomi Smart TV 5A Series (43) Specifications:
Display: 43″ panel, Vivid Picture engine
Resolution: Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels)
Sound: 2x 12W output
Audio Decoder: Dolby Audio, DTS-HD, DTS Virtual:X
OS: Android TV 11
Processor: Quad-Core (4x Cortex-A55)
Memory: 1.5GB RAM, 8GB storage
Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth, 2x HDMI 2.0, 2x USB 2.0, 1x AV in, 1x Earphone, 1x Ethernet
Price in Nepal: NPR 47,999
6. TCL 43S5200 FHD Smart TV
Heading to the top six entries in this list of best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal is the TCL 43S5200 Full HD Smart TV. In case you’re unaware, TCL is one of the largest TV makers in the world. And the S5200 is a pretty impressive TV in itself. It may not have as slim bezels as other TVs we’ve listed so far, but it more than makes up for that with its display color tuning and audio quality. This guy features micro dimming technology for fine-tuning the bright and dark areas in an image. That basically ensures better contrast and ultimately a better TV viewing experience. T
To further optimize display quality, TCL also lets you select from various picture qualities. Its 16W down-firing stereo speakers support Dolby Audio for clearer dialogues and superior details. On the other hand, for a thousand rupees more, you can get the TCL 43S6500 instead. It is almost the same as the 43S5200, but it has a direct LED backlight instead of an edge-lit backlight. With this, the 43S6500 should deliver a relatively more even brightness and contrast level.
The Samsung UA43T5400 takes the fifth spot on our list of best 43″ TVs under NPR 60000 in Nepal. This is a Full HD LED TV with Hyper Real picture engine. It has Samsung’s PurColor picture processing for color enhancements and is HDR compatible too. You also get a dedicated game mode that decreases the latency when you play games on the TV.
In terms of audio, you get two 10W bottom-firing speakers with Dolby Digital Plus support. And unlike other TVs in our list so far, it runs on Samsung’s in-house Tizen OS, which offers a clean experience. Similarly, the port options here include a USB, two HDMI, and an ethernet port. You can also find the newer UA43T5500 with a slightly better build quality and a couple of other upgrades.
Samsung UA43T5400 FHD Smart TV Specifications:
Display: 43″ LED, Pur Color, 1000 PQI, HDR
Resolution: Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels)
Sound: 2x 10W output
Audio Decoder: Dolby Digital Plus
OS: Tizen OS
Processor: Unspecified
Memory: Unspecified
Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth, 2x HDMI, 1x USB, 1x Ethernet, 1x Digital audio out, 1x AV in, 1x RF in
Price in Nepal: NPR 50,999
4. Mi TV 4X (43) 4K Smart TV
At number 4 spot on our list of the best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal is the Mi TV 4X (43). And it’s also the first 4K TV on our list so far. Its IPS panel has a 178º viewing angle and flaunts a 60Hz refresh rate like every other entries on this list. Similarly, the Mi TV 4X is pretty lightweight at 7.13 kg and measures 214mm thick.
It runs on Android TV 9 and comes with 2GB of DDR RAM and 8GB of eMMC storage. And the Mi TV 4X also supports streaming from OTT platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, and so on. There’s also Xiaomi’s own Patchwall system built into the TV, although it doesn’t work in Nepal. Similarly, Mi TV 4X features two 10W speakers and is compatible with Dolby Audio and DTS-HD.
Likewise, the connectivity option includes dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, three HDMI, two USB 2.0, one AV in, one Earphone, one Ethernet, and a LAN port. While all this sounds pretty good, we’d highly suggest you get the more recent launches from Xiaomi Nepal instead. Like the Redmi Smart TV X Series or the Xiaomi Mi TV 5X 4K. Not only do they bring a slew of upgrades, but they also cost more or less the same as this guy.
Connectivity: 3x HDMI, 2x USB 2.0, 1x AV in, 1x Earphone, 1x Ethernet, (Built-in dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth v4.2)
Price in Nepal: NPR 54,999
3. TCL 43P635 4K Smart TV
Taking the bronze medal on our list of best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal is the TCL 43P635. And this is the only non-Xiaomi TV featured here with 4K resolution. It also supports a bunch of HDR standards including HLG and HDR10, although it misses out on Dolby Vision. Then again, TCL’s AiPQ Engine 2.0 is something to talk about. It is responsible for everything from upscaling FHD, 2K contents to 4K, alongside optimizing colors, contrast, noise levels, audio, and more in real-time for a great TV viewing experience.
Further enhancing the viewing experience on the 43P635 is Micro Dimming technology with a total of 1,296 dimming zones. With this, the TV dynamically adjusts brightness levels across the display depending on the content that’s playing. Audio-wise, TCL has gone with 20W stereo speakers with Dolby Audio here. This TV runs on the new Google TV out-of-the-box, which is complemented by a bunch of AI-enabled features—including smart home connectivity.
Connectivity: WiFi (dual band), Bluetooth 5.0, 3x HDMI 2.1, 1x USB 2.0, 1x AV in, 1x Ethernet
Price in Nepal: Rs. 47,890
2. Redmi Smart TV X Series 4K (43)
Okay, the silver medal on our list of best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal is the recently launched Redmi Smart TV X Series. And it comes with a bunch of high-end features that you won’t find on most other entries on our list. Starting with Dolby Vision. This proprietary HDR standard is widely regarded as the best HDR standard for TVs. It is also the only TV here (besides the number one entry on our list) with HDMI 2.1 connectivity.
I guess this might not matter to a whole lot of people, but if you’re into 4K gaming, the Redmi Smart TV X Series supports up to 4K/120Hz output. On the contrary, the older HDMI 2.0 standard maxes out at 4K/60Hz. Other than this, the Redmi Smart TV X Series also brings powerful twin speakers with 30W output. And since it runs on Android TV 10, it enjoys features like Play Store, built-in Chromecast, and Google Assistant as well.
Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth, 3x HDMI 2.1, 2x USB 2.0, 1x AV in, 1x Earphone, 1x Ethernet, 1x Optical audio
Price in Nepal: NPR 54,999
1. Xiaomi Mi TV 5X 4K (43)
Taking the gold medal on our list of best 43″ TV under NPR 60000 in Nepal goes to the new Xiaomi Mi TV 5X 4K. This is pretty similar to the Redmi Smart TV X Series above, but it has a slightly more premium build quality on top of a couple of other minor differences that you may or may not care about. Its premium build quality is mostly thanks to the metal bezel and relatively thinner bezels. So if you can spare a few extra thousand rupees for nicer visual aesthetics, then the Xiaomi Mi TV 5X is well worth the money.
This one also has a slightly deeper color gamut; with 94% DCI-P3 instead of 92% on the Redmi Smart TV X Series. But that 2% bump is almost next to nothing under regular TV viewing experience, so it’s not a big deal really. Besides, it’s got the same Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG support as the Redmi model. Xiaomi says it has also upgraded its Vivid Picture Engine here, for better colors, contrast, saturation, and brightness levels. On the other hand, the Mi TV 5X natively supports Dolby Atmos surround sound audio too—contrary to DTS Virtual:X on the Redmi Smart TV X Series.
