Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) Launched: Tough Build, Galaxy AI, and Massive Battery Life!

Samsung has just launched its most rugged and feature packed smartwatch of the year the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025). Designed for outdoor enthusiasts and serious fitness buffs. Currently the Preorders are live, and it’ll hit stores globally starting July 25. For the rest of the details, discuss more about the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025), including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra Overview:

Design and Display

For the design, the all new Galaxy Watch Ultra brings a serious design upgrade over its predecessors not just in looks, but in durability too. It features a Grade 4 Titanium cushion case that is built to survive rough terrains. The case is also paired with Sapphire Crystal glass on the front which adds a premium touch and strong scratch resistance. The watch also has a MIL-STD-810H certified and is rated for extreme temperatures (-4°F to 131°F), and can handle altitudes up to 29,527 feet. And with IP68 + 10ATM water and dust resistance, it’s even suitable for diving or heavy rain. In terms of size, you’re getting a 47mm dial, which is slightly bigger than the Watch8 Classic. It’s still surprisingly lightweight due to the titanium build, and comes in four bold colors: Titanium Blue, Silver, Gray, and White with matching performance bands like Trail, Marine, and PeakForm.

On the display side, Samsung packed in a vibrant Super AMOLED panel with always-on capability and Night Mode for better visibility in low-light conditions.

Software and AI Features

The Galaxy Watch Ultra runs on Sasmung lastest “One UI 8” based on Wear OS and is backed by a powerful 3nm processor. It also supports a wide range of apps from the Google Play Store, giving it an edge in flexibility.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 AI Design

One of the biggest upgrades is the addition of Galaxy AI features. This time you get an Energy Score that analyzes your sleep, activity, and heart rate to tell you how ready your body is for the day. It also offers AI Suggested Replies for messages and Raise to Speak voice control with the help of Google Gemini. For fitness, there’s support for Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for cyclists, Race mode to compare your current performance with previous runs or rides, and Track Back GPS navigation to guide you back to your starting point. Other then that, you also get personalized heart rate zones for better workout and Night Mode for improved visibility in low light. Even the Health tracking system is more advanced now, with features like Vascular Load Monitoring to show heart stress while sleeping, and the AGES index which gives insight into how your diet may affect long-term metabolic health. The watch works best with Samsung devices but is also compatible with other Android phones, though some AI features may be limited.

Battery and Connectivity

The Galaxy Watch Ultra packs Samsung’s longest-lasting battery yet on a smartwatch. On regular use, it easily lasts around 3 days, and if you switch to Power Saving Mode, it can stretch up to 100 hours. There’s also an Exercise Power Saving Mode, which offers up to 48 hours of battery life while tracking workouts. Charging is still wireless and fairly quick, taking just over an hour to top up fully.

In terms of connectivity option, the Watch Ultra comes with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and LTE support so you can take calls, stream music, or use maps without needing your phone. The dual-frequency GPS (L1 + L5) improves accuracy especially in challenging environments like forests or city streets. The watch also syncs seamlessly with other Galaxy devices, but it works with most Android phones as long as you have the Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health apps installed. However, some advanced features like Energy Score and AGEs tracking may be limited on non-Samsung phones.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE also launched as an affordable option compared to the regular Z Flip7

Samsung just launched the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE alongside the premium Z Flip7 and Z Fold7, in a recent event held by the South Korean company. At a cheaper price compared to the  regular Z Flip7, still packs solid specs and the same camera system. This article will discuss everything about the latest Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE Overview

Display and Design 

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE Design and Display

The Z Flip7 FE keeps the classic 3.4-inch cover screen from the Z Flip6 instead of upgrading to the massive 4.1-inch FlexWindow on the regular Z Flip7. You’re still getting a Super AMOLED panel, but it’s smaller at 720×748 resolution and lacks the edge-to-edge design.

The main display is 6.7 inches with Dynamic AMOLED 2X tech and 120Hz refresh rate. It’s slightly smaller than the Z Flip7’s 6.9-inch screen and uses a 22:9 aspect ratio instead of 21:9. Design-wise, it’s actually pretty similar to the regular Z Flip7. At 14.9mm when folded, it’s about 1.2mm thicker than the premium model, but you probably won’t notice the difference in daily use. When unfolded, it measures 6.9mm thick.

Build quality matches the premium model with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection and an Armor Aluminum frame. IP48 water resistance is there too, which isn’t that great, so you will have to bit careful while playing with water.

Performance and Software

Here’s where you see the cost savings. The Z Flip7 FE runs on the Exynos 2400 processor instead of the newer Exynos 2500 in the regular Z Flip7. You’re getting 8GB of RAM instead of 12GB, with storage options of 128GB or 256GB.

Performance should still be solid for most tasks, but don’t expect Samsung DeX support — that’s exclusive to the premium Z Flip7. The AI features are mostly the same though, including Now Brief for personalized updates on the cover screen and Galaxy AI integration. Both phones run Android 16 with One UI 8, so you’re getting the latest software experience with Knox security features.

Camera System 

Samsung Galaxy Flip7 FE

Actually, this is where Samsung didn’t cut corners. The Z Flip7 FE has the exact same camera setup as both the Z Flip7 and Z Flip6 — a 50MP main camera with OIS and a 12MP ultra-wide. The 10MP selfie camera is identical too.

You won’t get all the fancy AI camera features from the regular Z Flip7 though. The smaller cover screen means no advanced zoom slider or as many real-time filters. But FlexCam mode still works great for hands-free selfies and video calls.

Battery 

The 4,000mAh battery is the same size as the Z Flip6, which is decent but the Z Flip7 features a slightly bigger unit at 4300 mAh. Still should get you through a full day of normal use. Charging is identical across both models — 25W wired, 15W wireless, and reverse wireless charging. The adapter isn’t included, so you’ll need to buy one separately.

So what are you missing vs Z Flip7?

The main differences are the smaller cover screen, older processor, less RAM, smaller battery, and no Samsung DeX support. You also get fewer color options — just Black and White instead of the four colors available on the Z Flip7. But honestly, if you’re not obsessed with having the latest specs, the Z Flip7 FE gives you 90% of the experience for significantly less money.

Galaxy Z Flip7 FE Specifications

  • Display: 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, 2640 x 1080px / 3.4-inch Super AMOLED cover screen, 720 x 748px

Galaxy Z Flip7 FE Price in Nepal and Availability

The Galaxy Z Flip7 FE starts at $900 globally for the 128GB model. When it arrives in Nepal, expect pricing to start at no less than NPR 135,000 for the base variant.

OnePlus Nord 5 Review

Design

Let me first talk about what’s great here! And first of all, I really like this year’s design! I think they took the inspiration from Samsung’s Galaxy A56. Coz just look at the camera module of these two phones – they are almost identical!

OnePlus has also gone with a matte finish this time, which is quite the opposite of the Metal design we got on the Nord 4; nonetheless, it feels good in the hands. And despite having a massive 6800mAh battery, it doesn’t feel that heavy, and the weight distribution is nicely done, too.

The only compromise is that we don’t get proper IP68 or IP69 dust and water resistance here. Instead, we only get a modest IP65 rating here.

Display

On the front, the display experience of the Nord 5 is also outstanding, and it feels like I am actually using a flagship phone! First, it has a 144Hz refresh rate; hence, interacting with the UI is slightly smoother than a typical mid range phone.

Plus, as you can see, the bezels are almost non-existent. And this OLED panel is super colour accurate, it’s pretty bright, reaching 1400 nits in High-Brightness Mode, and you get HDR-10 support on both Netflix and Amazon Prime. Another thing I liked about this display is that it has a 3000 Hz touch sampling rate, which means that while playing games, it feels extremely responsive.

Speakers and Haptics

And I found its stereo speakers to be decently loud and clear, too. So, whether I’m listening to music or watching movies, this display definitely didn’t disappoint me.

By the way, OnePlus has also implemented O-Haptics here, similar to what we get on OnePlus and OPPO’s high-end phones. So, the vibration feedback on the Nord 5 has a nice tactile feel.

Performance

Likewise, the performance side of things is also well taken care of. It’s powered by last year’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, which, is significantly more powerful than most competitors like the Galaxy A56 and Nothing Phone 3(a) Pro.

Yes, phones like the OnePlus 13R for a slightly more price tag. But honestly, the 8s Gen 3 is still more than capable for most users and handles everything smoothly. Including Gaming!

Here, I could play PUBG effortlessly at 90fps without any noticeable lag. Lighter games like Mobile Legends and COD push a stable 120fps. Even Genshin Impact, one of the most GPU-heavy titles, ran impressively well, with the 5% low at a respectable 54fps.

OnePlus has also packed in a massive 7,300 mm² vapour chamber cooling system. And I didn’t face any overheating issues, even during longer gaming sessions or while using 5G data. If I had to nitpick, the only slight letdown is the use of UFS 3.1 storage. If I remember, last year’s Nord 4 had faster UFS 4.0 storage, so I don’t quite get this compromise.

Software and UI

Oneplus nord 5 Customization

Now, talking about the software experience, I know many reviewers complain a lot about OnePlus’s software experience! But after Samsung’s One UI and Nothing OS, OxygenOS is my favourite UI. It’s clean, mostly ad-free, and the animations feel superfluid. And OnePlus is promising 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security patch, which is more than decent for this price.

And check this out—there’s even a button here, just like on the iPhone and the OnePlus 13s I reviewed recently. This button is a carbon copy of the iPhone, where you can customize to launch different apps or functions.

Battery Life

Battery life on the Nord 5 is also A+! It easily lasts 2 days if I am not pushing it too hard.

Charging is fast, too—thanks to the 80W VOOC charger we get inside the box [Full charge: 0 to 100% 55 minutes]. But as expected, there’s no wireless charging, and it only has a USB 2.0 Type-C port.

Camera

Oneplus Nord 5 Camera

Ok, let me now talk about the real compromise I found on the Nord 5, and you guessed it right – it’s the cameras! Here, OnePlus hasn’t gone for an extraordinary camera setup. We get a 50MP main camera – it’s the Sony LTY-700 sensor, then we have an 8MP ultra-wide camera and a 50MP selfie camera.

So overall, you won’t be getting a mind-blowing experience! It’s still better than something like the Poco F7, but it definitely falls behind phones like the Nothing Phone (3a) Pro and Realme 14 Pro+.

That said, the Nord 5’s camera is not bad, either. In good lighting conditions, I was able to get pretty decent shots! I actually went on a photo walk the other morning, and as you can see from the samples, some of the photos are pretty nice with good dynamic range and surprisingly good detail.

In some shots, I did feel like the contrast was a bit too much, and occasionally, the exposure or highlights got messed up. Plus, colours, especially reds, are sometimes overprocessed. But if you shoot in good lighting, you can definitely get results that you can share on your social media.

Portraits, in particular, come out really well. The skin tone looks natural, and the details are sharp, even in the 2X mode. I’ll drop the Google Drive link below so you can check out all the original quality samples.

Now, talking about the ultra-wide camera, I really expected OnePlus to step up and provide a higher-res lens, but with the 8MP sensor, let’s say it performs like something you’d expect from a phone under 20,000. Compared to the primary camera, its dynamic range is weak, and the details are very soft, especially during low light.

On the flip side, selfies have improved this time. The new 50MP sensor is quite wide and captures some really nice shots. No complaints here.

 

As for videography, I don’t have major complaints either. You can shoot up to 4K 60fps from both the main and selfie cameras, and the stabilisation, colour science, and dynamic range are all decent. However, just like with photos, the ultra-wide video isn’t that great.

OnePlus Nord 5 Review Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent display with flagship-level smoothness
  • Strong performance with great cooling
  • Good battery life with fast charging
  • Clean and fluid OxygenOS
  • Premium design and solid haptics

Cons:

  • Camera system is average, especially ultra-wide
  • No wireless charging or USB 3.0

OnePlus Nord 5 Review Conclusion

Ok, I guess I have covered almost everything about the Nord 5! And like I said at the beginning of this video, I believe OnePlus has made the right compromises in the right areas! We get a smart, meaningful compromise, and it really shows here.

Just take a look at the scorecard: the Nord 5 earns a solid A in display, performance, software, and battery and a respectable B in the camera department.

Yes, you might find better camera performance for the money elsewhere. But what you won’t get is this level of refinement across the board. So yeah, the OnePlus Nord 5 might just be the best midrange phone. Right Now. In 2025.

Ai+ Pulse and Nova 5G launched with budget-friendly Specs

Ai+ just dropped their first smartphones in India: the Pulse and Nova 5G. Both of these phones are particularly made to target the budget segment and a similar demographic in India. But it does come with decent specs and clean Android 15, for what you get around at this price range. Without further ado, lets dive in this article where we will discuss everything about the latest Ai+ Pulse and Nova 5G, including their expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Ai+ Pulse and Nova 5G Overview

Display and Design

AI plus nova and pulse price in Nepal

Both phones rock a 6.7-inch HD+ display, but there’s a key difference. The Pulse gets a 90Hz refresh rate while the Nova 5G bumps it up to 120Hz. Which, for budget phones,is actually pretty decent, because many companies are still stuck at 60Hz…

Moving on, design-wise, both devices follow a minimalist approach with clean lines and a premium feel despite the budget pricing. The Pulse measures 8.5mm thick and weighs 193g, while the Nova 5G is slightly thinner at 8.2mm but weighs a bit more at 196g. You’re definitely getting a sleek profile that certainly wouldn’t feel cheap in hand. Meanwhile, the rear camera module has a modern rectangular design with the Ai+ branding prominently displayed. Both phones come in multiple color options and feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Performance and Software

 The Pulse runs on the Unisoc T615 octa-core processor with 4GB or 6GB RAM options. The Nova 5G steps up with the T8200 chip and comes with 6GB or 8GB RAM.

Both phones run NxtQuantum OS based on Android 15, which is built by nxtQ. The company promises zero bloatware and secure Indian data storage on MeitY-approved Google Cloud regions. Plus, you’re getting a zero-trust security framework.

Camera and Battery

Camera setup is identical on both phones , that is a 50MP rear camera with CIF and a 5MP front shooter. Nothing groundbreaking, but it should handle basic photography. Battery life looks solid with a 5000mAh cell in both devices. The charging is pretty basic at 10W, so you’ll need patience when plugging in.

Connectivity and Features

The Pulse sticks to dual 4G while the Nova 5G obviously gets dual 5G support. Both have dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3.5mm headphone jack (which is nice to see). You’re also getting FM radio, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and the usual sensors. The phones come with NxtPrivacy Dashboard, NxtSafe Space, and NxtMove App.

OnePlus Nord CE5 launched in Nepal with massive 7,100mAh battery and MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Apex

OnePlus has unveiled the Nord CE5 in Nepal alongside the Nord 5 (which we have discussed in a separate article), focusing on delivering maximum battery life and solid performance for the mid-range segment. The device packs a tablet-class or just one of the largest we’ve seen in a smartphone. This article will discuss everything about the latest OnePlus Nord CE5, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

OnePlus Nord CE5 Overview

Performance and Processing Power

OnePlus Nord CE5 Design

The Nord CE5 runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 8350 Apex chipset, which is actually a pretty significant upgrade for the CE series. The processor features an octa-core setup with four Cortex-A715 cores running at up to 3.35GHz and four Cortex-A510 efficiency cores. Furthermore, it includes a 6-core Mali-G615 GPU that OnePlus claims offers 50% higher performance and 55% lower power consumption than the previous generation.

The device comes with LPDDR5X RAM in 8GB or 12GB configurations, with virtual RAM expansion available. For storage, you get 128GB or 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, but here’s the thing – it also supports microSD expansion up to 1TB, which is becoming rare these days.

Massive Battery and Charging

The standout feature is definitely the 7,100mAh battery. To put that in perspective, most flagship phones pack around 5,000mAh batteries. OnePlus claims you can get 27+ hours of YouTube playback or 18+ hours of Instagram browsing on a single charge. That’s pretty impressive if it holds up in real-world usage.

The phone supports 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging, which should help offset the longer charging times that come with such a large battery. Additionally, it includes Battery Health Magic for long-term battery maintenance and Bypass Charging for gaming, which draws power directly from the charger.

Display and Design

The Nord CE5 features a 6.77-inch FHD+ Super Fluid AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness reaches 1,430 nits, and it supports Ultra HDR for enhanced content viewing. The display also includes Aqua Touch technology for better responsiveness with wet fingers.

Design-wise, the phone measures 163.58 x 76.02 x 8.27mm (for the Marble Mist variant) and weighs around 199g. It features IP65 water resistance and comes in three colors: Black Infinity, Marble Mist, and Nexus Blue.

Camera System

OnePlus Nord CE5 Design and camera

OnePlus equipped the CE5 with a 50MP main camera using Sony’s LYT-600 sensor with OIS. The sensor size is 1/1.95-inch, which is decent for this price range. Additionally, there’s an 8MP ultra-wide camera with a 112-degree field of view.

For selfies, the phone includes a 16MP front camera with fixed focus. The camera system supports 4K video recording at 60fps, which is actually quite good for a mid-range device. The phone also includes LivePhoto with Ultra HDR support for more dynamic shots.

Cooling and Gaming Performance

OnePlus included a CryoVelocity VC cooling system with a 7,041mm² vapor chamber. The company claims this enables sustained gaming performance at up to 120 FPS in titles like BGMI and Call of Duty Mobile. The large battery should also help with extended gaming sessions without frequent charging breaks.

AI Features and Software

The Nord CE5 runs OxygenOS 15.0 based on Android 15. OnePlus has integrated several AI features including AI Toolbox 2.0, which offers AI Summary, AI Translation, AI Writer, and AI Reply functions. There’s also AI VoiceScribe for recording and transcribing conversations across 20+ languages.

For creativity, the phone includes AI Detail Boost, AI Unblur, AI Reflection Eraser, and AI Eraser for photo editing. The new AI Reframe feature analyzes photos and suggests better compositions and filters.

The phone also includes Google’s latest AI features like Circle to Search and Gemini integration. Circle to Search lets you search anything on screen by drawing a circle around it, while Gemini acts as a personal AI assistant.

Connectivity and Features

The Nord CE5 supports 5G connectivity with multiple bands, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC. It features dual nano-SIM support with a hybrid slot that can accommodate either two SIM cards or one SIM plus a microSD card.

The phone includes an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, face unlock, and various sensors like accelerometer, gyroscope, and ambient light sensor. There’s also an infrared blaster for controlling appliances.

For gaming, the phone offers bypass charging, which draws power directly from the charger instead of the battery. This helps keep temperatures down during extended gaming sessions.
