Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 SoC unveiled, Same old wine in a new bottle

Qualcomm, a top-dog name in mobile silicon has unveiled a new chip— Snapdragon 6s Gen 3. This 6nm fabbed SoC is set to debut in the upcoming midrange phones. In this article, we’ll get into the specs, features, and other info regarding the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 Overview:

The rebrand game is still on

The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is a rebrand of the Snapdragon 695 5G, a chip back from 2021. So, this old wine in a new bottle guy goes for the same 6nm fabrication process by TSMC. Not to be confused with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, this new chip is actually less powerful and the “s” moniker represents a toned-down version in Qualcomm’s confusing naming Pattern, just like how things went on between the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, with the latter being more powerful.

Same CPU Clusters

To no one’s surprise, this silicon brings the same old CPU clusters. You get two Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.3GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores, running at 2.0GHz. The only improvement on the CPU side is a slightly overclocked prime cores and that’s it.

Meanwhile, the GPU side is handled by an Adreno 619 GPU which should perform more or less the same as the one on the SD 695 chip. The chip supports LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage while the ISP supports up to 108MP res camera. But the disappointing thing is that this ISP is still stuck at 1080p 60fps videos. So, phones powered by the SD 6s Gen 3 will not support 4 recording.

Connectivity and Others

Talking of the connectivity features, this new silicon boasts 5G connectivity with Sub-6 and mmWave and Qualcomm FastConnect 6200 WiFi card with WiFi 5, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.2 support. In terms of positioning, you get QZSS, Galileo, beidou, GONASS, NavIC, and dual-band GPS. Lastly, it supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ technology.

Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 Launch and Availability

The Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 is set to debut with Motorola G85 and other upcoming midrange phones.

Realme Narzo N63 is here — It’s the same as Realme C63…

Realme Narzo N63 is here — It’s the same as Realme C63…

Realme launched the C63 with an iPhone-like design and features just a week back in Indonesia. Now the company has repackaged and shipped the phone to India under a different name. In this article, we will look into the Realme Narzo N63 (once again) in further detail including its expected price in Nepal.

Realme Narzo N63 Overview

Design and Display

As I mentioned earlier, the Realme Narzo N63 is a mere rebranding of the Realme C63. Hence, the phones are similar down to the teeth. It comes in the same iPhone-like design with flat frames and a squircle camera island with three cutouts. Similarly, there is a vegan leather option and a shimmery one — this time in purple. It also has the IP54 dust and water resistance.

You are looking at a 6.74-inch display with an HD+ resolution on the front. Once again, Realme does not mention the type of panel on the Narzo N63. This leads us to speculate, that it might be a lower-quality LCD like a TFT panel. Other than that, it can refresh at the rate of 90Hz while also offering a 180Hz touch sampling rate. Moreover, it offers a wide range of brightness going as low as 1 nit and a peak of 560 nits.

Performance

In the performance department, the Realme Narzo N63 is powered by the UNISOC T612 silicone. This chip comes with eight cores, 12nm fabbing, and a peak clock speed of 1.8GHz. Once again, it is a low-powered processor designed to get the basics done just fine. No heavy-duty out of it.

Given that, this is a member of the Realme Narzo series, it isn’t unsurprising that the N63 comes in a lower memory-storage combo than the C63. That being said, this phone is available in two configurations: 4GB + 64GB, and 4GB + 128GB. Here, you can double the memory virtually while the expandability limit for the storage has not been clarified by the company.

Camera and the rest

Moving on, the cameras on the Realme Narzo N63 also remain unchanged. This phone ships with a 50MP primary camera coupled with an unspecified auxiliary lens. Meanwhile, on the front, an 8MP shooter sits underneath the waterdrop notch. Besides, this phone carries over the iPhone knock-off characteristics like Mini Capsule 2.0, and Action Button along with the Air Gesture feature.

In the tank, it packs a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W charging support. The Realme Narzo N63 comes with dual SIM 4G cellular, dual-band WiFi, and Bluetooth v5.0 for wireless connectivity. On the other hand, the wired connections are handled by a USB Type-C and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Realme Narzo N63 Specifications

Design: Flat design with vegan leather finish or shimmery pattern
Dimensions: 167.26 mm x 76.67 mm x 7.74 mm

Realme Narzo N63 Price in Nepal and Availability

This smartphone has gone live on the company website and will start shipping on 10 June 2024. It has been priced at NPR 8,499 and NPR 8,999 depending on the configuration of choice. The Narzo series is quite popular here, hence, it will likely arrive soon. When it does, we expect the Realme Narzo N63 to start at NPR 14,499 and go up to NPR 15,499.

Lenovo Legion Y7000P (2024) Overview

Design and Display

The Legion Y7000P focuses on keeping a lowkey profile despite being a gaming laptop. You won’t find colorful aesthetics or accented lids, instead what you are getting is a modern-looking powerhouse of a notebook. It weighs 2.4 kilos and measures about 19.7mm thick with a Legion logo on the right side of the lid.

Moving on to the display, there’s a crisp 2.5k IPS screen with full sRGB colors and Dolby Vision support. The 16-inch 165Hz panel sports a tall 16:10 aspect ratio and can reach about 350 nits of typical brightness. Moreover, you also get features like NVIDIA G-Sync and Low Blue Light support.

Performance and Memory

Talking about horsepower, the Legion Y7000P houses a powerful Core i7-14650HX Raptor Lake refresh chipset. There’s a total of 16 cores (8 Performance + 8 Efficiency) and 24 Threads with a theoretical single-core turbo frequency of 5.2 GHz. This high TDP CPU is paired with a full wattage (140W) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 laptop GPU with 8GB of VRAM. Other laptop configurations ship with the Core i7 14700HX CPU with more cores and a slightly higher boost clock.

On the memory side of things, there are two SO-DIMM slots one preoccupied with a 16GB DDR5 stick. There’s also a 1TB M.2 NVME Gen 4 SSD with an extra slot for future expansion.

Ports and Extras

For connectivity, you get a total of three USB-A ports, two USB-C ports (not Thunderbolt), a microSD card reader, and an RJ45 jack, alongside the 3.5mm audio jack. On the wireless side, there’s WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.1.

Also Read:

The Legion Y7000P 2024 is fueled by a 99.99 Wh lithium battery and a 230W adapter. Since the theoretical system draw can reach as much as 250W, a 330W could have made more sense but taking the form factor into consideration, the choice is reasonable.

Lenovo Legion Y7000P (2024) Specifications

Noise brings the “Origin” smartwatch with a custom EN 1 chip and UI

Noise — the Indian OEM brand — is here with yet another smartwatch. This time the company has added a bit more of a personal touch with a custom chipset and UI. In this article, we will discuss the latest Noise Origin smartwatch along with its special features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal.

Noise Origin Overview

Design and Display

The Noise Origin looks pretty standard in terms of design with its circular chassis. It has tiny grooves around the display and has a button and crown for navigation. The smartwatch case is made of stainless steel while the strap choices include silicone and leather. It is also quite durable with IP68 dust and water resistance and can endure being sunken into depths of up to 3 metres.

On the front, the watch houses an AMOLED display with a 1.46-inch circumference. Meanwhile, the screen resolution of the Noise Origin is 466 x 466 pixels. The company also mentions a 20% wider colour gamut, however, it does not mention which or the total number of colour gamut. The watch ships in six different colour options: Mosaic Blue, Jet Black, Silver Grey, Midnight Black, Classic Black, and Classic Brown. Herein the latter two are leather strap options.

The new Processor and UI

Before the release of Noise Origin, the company announced their custom processor as well as UI. This chip of theirs is called the “EN 1” while the UI is dubbed the “Nebula UI”.

As per sources, this chipset offers 30% improved performance, but it does not mention with which other chip the comparison is drawn. Likewise, the UI comes with an updated layout and icons along with notification organisation capabilities.

With the combination of the EN 1 chipset and the new Nebula UI, the watch offers a smooth and seamless user experience — complete with haptic feedback from an in-built linear motor.

Features and Battery

Despite having a new processor and UI, the phone seems to miss out on one of the most sought-after smartwatch features i.e. Bluetooth calling. However, it does display the caller’s information and allows to reject the calls. The Noise Origin relies on Bluetooth v5.3 for wireless connection with your smartphone and is compatible with devices running iOS 11.0 or Android 9.0 and later.

Other than that, this thing comes with standard health monitoring, and smartwatch features like AI voice assistant, stopwatch, alarm, calculator, music control, and so on.

Meet the new Gorilla Glass for the budget midrange phones, the Gorilla Glass 7i

Gorilla Glass is one of the most sought things when looking at the specs of a mobile phone. And from the budget to the flagship phones, this display protection is equally popular. Now we have a new iteration of the glass which goes by the name, Gorilla Glass 7i, specially designed for midrange and affordable smartphones. Here in this article, let’s learn more about Corning Gorilla 7i.

Corning Gorilla Glass 7i Overview:

Improved Strength and Resistance

The new Corning Gorilla Glass 7i can survive drops on the surface replicating asphalt from a height of up to one meter. This feat was achieved during the lab tests. To compare, an aluminosilicate glass can crack at a much lower height of 0.5 meters or less. Not just drop, but this new glass has also improved scratch resistance. Corning claims its strength to be two times that of lithium aluminosilicate cover glasses.

Will replace Gorilla Glass 3

If you are not aware already, most of the budget midrange phones have Gorilla Glass 3. And it was introduced way back in 2016. So, finally, we’ll get to see a new Corning Gorilla Glass in the market with improved strength and resistance.
