Vivo X100 Ultra launched as a camera power house smartphone

The previously released flagship, Vivo X100 Pro, ranked 10th in DXOMARK’s Smartphone camera ranking and boasted one of the best (smartphone) portrait cameras, if not the best. And if that was not enough, Vivo has thrown another hat in the ring with the Vivo X100 Ultra, alongside Vivo X100s and X100s Pro. In this article, we’ll walk through the specs, features, and expected price of the Vivo X100 Ultra in Nepal.

Vivo X100 Ultra Overview

A 200MP Periscope Camera

The Vivo X100 Ultra brings a major change to the periscope camera if you compare it to the regular X100. It is now a 200MP resolution APO beast with 3.7K optical zoom and 100x digital zoom.

Other than that, you get a 50MP 1-inch main Sony Lytia LYT-900 sensor with CIPA 4.5 gimbal level stabilization. Last but not least is a 50MP Sony LYT-600 ultrawide unit. Vivo’s custom V3+ imaging chip powers all this stellar camera setup. Plus, there is the industry’s first Zeiss T* GLC nano-coating. Which makes it a beast of a camera phone.

Performance

While the X100 Pro featured the Dimensity 9300 chipset, Vivo has opted for a Qualcomm chipset for the Ultra. No prize for guessing, it’s the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This 4nm fabbed SoC has a prime Cortex-X4 core at 3300 MHz, three Cortex-A720 cores at 3150 MHz, two Cortex-A720 cores at 2960 MHz, and two Cortex-A520 cores at 2270 MHz.\

It is paired with 12/16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. Likewise, booting the smartphone is Android-14 based Origin OS 4.

Design and Display

In terms of design, the Vivo X100 Ultra takes a lot of cues from its X100 Pro sibling. You get the large circular camera module protruding from the rear. The slightly curved aluminum frame is also here alongside the IP68 rating.

As for the display, it boasts a Quad HD+ 6.78-inch E7 AMOLED display with a 2K resolution (3200x 1440 pixels) and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Other features include 1440Hz PWM dimming, 3000nits of peak brightness, P3 color gamut, and 517PPI of pixel density.

A new Dell XPS 13 powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X is coming

A new Dell XPS 13 powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon X is coming

The Dell XPS 13 is a staple laptop under the company’s belt which received a 2024 update back in January. Now it appears the company is working on a new iteration of the laptop and will be collaborating with Qualcomm this time around. Let’s discuss more on the upcoming laptop that’s seemingly dubbed the “Dell XPS 13 9345” in this article.

Dell XPS 13 9345 Rumours Round-up

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of this laptop, I would like to give a shoutout to the Windows Report. All that we know about the laptop is all thanks to them.

Naming

Let’s start things plain and simple with the naming… or should I say numbering? As I mentioned earlier, Dell recently updated the XPS 13 series for this year. While doing so the company dropped the “Plus” from its name, switching things up from the prior version and hooked the code number “9340” at last.

Dell XPS 13 9340 (2024) Design and Display — Dell XPS 13 9340

Similarly, the new edition of the laptop will supposedly continue the trend and go with the namesake “Dell XPS 13” and take the numbering up to “9345”.

Processor

The main highlight of the Dell XPS 13 9345 is surely its processor. The world of laptops is highly saturated with any given laptop having different choices of hardware. Matter of fact, laptops with the same name could pack an entirely different silicon underneath. When that’s the case, manufacturers usually attach code numbers — that are slightly different from one another — behind the laptop name to tell the variants apart.

Likewise, in this case, the Dell XPS 13 “9345” has a code that is just one digit off from the previous “9340”. Based on that, we can guess the upcoming iteration of the laptop will not have an Intel processor powering it. So, which one will it be? The rumours hint it to be a Qualcomm platform. However, it is unclear specifically which one of the American-foundry’s offerings will Dell go with for its new laptop.

Snapdragon X

There are four different options within the Snapdragon X family and the Dell XPS 13 9345 could go with any or all of them. Three of these processors sit under the Snapdragon X Elite series while the last remaining one goes by the name of Snapdragon X Plus. Either way, these chips are well-equipped with AI capabilities and are within the competing territory of Intel, AMD and even Apple silicon in terms of raw performance speed.

You may also like:

What else?

Other than that, it appears that the Dell XPS 13 9345 does not veer from its Intel siblings all too much. We have the leaked images of the laptop, and it is safe to say that they look the same. It will continue to have the iconic seamless trackpad and function keys with touch control. Meanwhile, the laptop is rumoured to sport an all-new “Copilot key” that allows the user to easily tap into its AI prowess.

Dell XPS 13 9345 Leaked Images

1 of 3

Talking of the Copilot, it demands that the device have a minimum of 16GB memory to operate. Hence, the Dell XPS 13 9345 will definitely ship with the RAM of the same and higher capacity. Furthermore, we can expect it to walk the same road as its 9340 compatriots in terms of other specifications. Given that, it should come with either an IPS or OLED screen option with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection, 512GB+ storage, and a 55Wh integrated battery.

Dell XPS 13 9345 Price and Availability

While all the buzz is going around, when will the thing actually launch? And what is the asking price? Well… there is no concrete announcement so far. The source says that the laptop will make its way to the market around August or September.

In the meantime, we expect the Dell XPS 13 9345 to have a similar price as the 9340 variants. Maybe even slightly cheaper, since it will likely sport a new chip that just made it into the market. So, we are looking at something around USD 1,299 or lower.

Lastly, before parting ways, I would like to remind you that all the things I’ve mentioned so far are merely rumours and may or may not come to fruition.

In this article, we will discuss the specs, features, official price, and availability of the Oppo A76 in Nepal.

Oppo A76 Overview:

Design and Display

Oppo A76 is a follow-up to last year’s A74 4G. The phone features a 90Hz screen, which is marginally bigger than its predecessor at 6.56-inch. However, it is an HD IPS panel, which is a bummer given how other brands offer FHD resolution in the same price range. The Redmi Note 11 even offers a 90Hz AMOLED screen at a cheaper price.

Moreover, the phone is 8.39mm thick and weighs around 189 grams. The camera island has gone through a visual redesign, and it now houses a dual-camera setup. Users can choose between two “Glowing” colors — Black and Blue.

Performance and Memory

Over on the inside, Oppo has replaced the Snapdragon 662 on the A74 for the Snapdragon 680 on the A76. It is the same that we can find in popular mid-range phones like Redmi Note 11 and Realme 9i. It is based on a power-efficient 6nm process.

The phone comes in a single memory configuration of 6/128GB. Users can add 5GB of virtual RAM, but there is no microSD card slot for storage expansion.

Camera

In terms of photography, the Oppo A76 has a dual-camera setup at the back—that’s one less than that of the A74. Likewise, the primary camera has been downgraded from 48MP to 13MP. Accompanying it is a 2MP monochrome sensor. Over on the front, there is an 8MP selfie shooter.

Rest of the Specs

Fueling the phone is a 5,000mAh sensor, which should give a pretty good battery life when coupled with a power-efficient chip like the Snapdragon 680. There is also support for 33W fast charging. The phone boots on Android 11 with Oppo’s ColorOS 11 on top.

Oppo A76 Specifications:

Dimension: 164.4 x 75.7 x 8.4mm, 189 grams
Display: 6.56-inch IPS LCD, 2-level refresh rate (60Hz, 90Hz), 180Hz touch sampling rate, 480 nits brightness (typical), 600 nits (max)
Resolution: HD+ (1612 x 720 pixels), 269 PPI
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G (6nm Mobile Platform)
Memory: 6GB LPDDR4X RAM
Storage: 128GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable up to 1TB)
Software & UI: ColorOS 11.1 on top of Android 11
Rear Camera: Dual (13MP primary, 2MP portrait)
Front Camera: 8MP (punch-hole)
Security: Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
Battery: 5000mAh with 33W charging

Oppo A76 Price in Nepal and Availability

The official price of the Oppo A76 in Nepal is Rs. 29,990 for the sole 6/128GB variant. But you can get it through Hukut and other authorized stores.

Sony added to its Cine Line of cameras with the FX3 a few years ago. What Sony has done here is cramp features from its Cinema lineup to a smaller body. The camera itself looks to be based on the A7s III. In this post, we will be taking a look at the specs, features, price, and availability of the Sony FX3 in Nepal.

Sony FX3 Overview:

Design, Sensor, and Image Processing

Starting with the body, the Sony FX3 has a magnesium alloy chassis. Sony has adopted a dust and moisture-proof design except for the XLR handle. The camera measures 77.8mm x 129.7mm x 84.5mm and weighs around 715 grams.

Here, the Sony FX3 features a full-frame back-illuminated Exmor CMOS sensor. The effective pixel count for video and still images is 10.2MP and 12.1MP, respectively. It is paired with BIONZ XR image processing. The standard ISO range is between 80 and 102,400. However, it can be expanded to up to 409,600 in shooting mode. Similarly, the dynamic range is 15+ stops wide.

S-Cinetone

This camera comes with the S-Cinetone color matrix. It allows users to create cinematic content without having to go through post-production. The features itself have been derived from flagship VENICE camera and thus deliver natural mid-tones, soft colors, and smooth highlights.

AutoFocus

Likewise, the FX3 has a maximum of 627 points for its Hybrid autofocus. But it will vary depending on the shooting mode. The Touch Tracking feature allows users to select the subjects to be focused on and tracked. Similarly, the company has also improved Real-time Eye AF, AF Transition Speed, and AF Subject Shift Sensitivity based on the users’ feedback.

Image Stabilization

Sony FX3 has a 5-axis optical in-body image stabilization. There is also a dedicated Active Mode for movie shooting. However, it results in a cropped image and cannot be used while recording videos at 120fps and higher. Users can also use the stabilization metadata to adjust images during post-production using certain tools.

Controls

Frequently used controls like ISO, IRIS, and white balance are placed on the grip and on the top of the camera. In addition to this, the camera has 15 custom keys that you can assign to 140 functions based on your preference.

The zoom lever on the top of the grip allows the use of Clear Image Zoom even with unpowered zoom and prime lenses. Recording lamps are on different parts of the body. There is also a touch-enabled LCD monitor.

Rest of the features

Sony FX3 also comes with an active cooling system. The company has included a fan and a heat dissipation system in the camera so that users can keep recording 4K 60p videos without thermal shutdown. The bottom panel draws air from the surrounding which exits from the side. Similarly, the USB-C port on the camera supports PD fast charging. The FX3 has two media slots that support CFexpress and SDXC cards. Other connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, wired LAN, image transfer via FTP servers, and so on.

Oppo launched the F21 Pro (4G / 5G) in India back in April 2022. The 4G variant was subsequently introduced in Nepal in August. And the phone has now received its second price cut in Nepal. In this article, we will be discussing the specs, features, latest price, and availability of the Oppo F21 Pro Series (F21 Pro, F21 Pro 5G) in Nepal.

Oppo F21 Pro Series Overview:

To note, only the F21 Pro 4G version with Snapdragon 680 was launched in Nepal.

Performance and Memory

The most notable difference between the Oppo F21 and its Pro sibling lies in the chipset. The vanilla F21 Pro is powered by the new Snapdragon 680 processor while the Pro 5G gets the Snapdragon 695 treatment instead. Chipset aside, the F21 Pro series is available in a single memory configuration of 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

Camera

Furthermore, the camera setup across the two devices is not exactly the same, though they do share some common elements. Both F21 Pro and F21 Pro 5G have a triple camera setup led by a 64MP primary and a 2MP monochrome sensor.

In addition, F21 Pro features a 2MP microscope camera while it is replaced by a macro lens on the 5G model. Similarly, for selfies, F21 Pro uses a 32MP sensor, whereas the F21 Pro 5G settles with a 16MP lens.

Oppo F21 Pro has a single orbit light around the sensor for notification. The 5G variant has an additional orbit light around the main sensor. These lights glow up to notify users of the notification.

Design and Display

Interestingly, the vanilla F21 Pro has an edge over its Pro sibling in the display department. While both of them feature a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel, the F21 Pro 4G stands out because of the 90Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. These two are missing on the 5G variant.

Otherwise, the F21 Pro series boasts a 180Hz touch sampling rate and a left-aligned punch-hole camera cutout.

Over on the back, F21 Pro and F21 Pro 5G come with a new re-designed camera bump. Cosmic Black color option is common across the two models, but Rainbow Spectrum and Sunset Orange are exclusive to the F21 Pro 5G and F21 Pro, respectively. The thing to note here is that the Sunset Orange variant has a fiberglass leather back.

Rest of the Specs

Fueling the Oppo F21 Pro series is a 4,500mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. The phones can go from 0 to 100% in just 63 minutes with a compatible charger.

Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) Overview

Sort of like what we saw on the Samsung Galaxy S21 series. The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) also gets the same updated design with a vegan leather finish on the back. Additionally, the phone is also water-repellant and comes with — surprise, surprise — a stylus! It is available in Caramel Latte and Scarlet Wave colour options.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) gets an update in the display category. The screen size has been increased to 6.7 inches and the panel is now a pOLED. In the meantime, the refresh rate and resolution remain unchanged at 120Hz and FHD+ respectively. Furthermore, the company has clarified other aspects of the display.

Two new JBL PartyBox are here in Nepal with booming sound

JBL recently launched its Authentics speaker series that included three members in India. Meanwhile, a few offerings from the company made their way into our country as well. In this article, we will discuss both the JBL Partybox in greater detail including their price in Nepal.

JBL PartyBox Overview

As I mentioned earlier, there are two offerings under the JBL PartyBox namesake. The first one is “Club 120” and the other is “Stage 320”.

Design

Aesthetically, both the JBL PartyBox look identical to one another. Given that, they come in a cuboid shape with curved edges. On the front, you can see two circles where the woofer sits and is surrounded by “Lightshow” which is basically RGB lighting. Additionally, these speakers also boast an IPX4 rating and offer a decent amount of water resistance.

While JBL PartyBox Club 120 and Stage 320 may look similar, they have different dimensions. The former measures 570 mm in height and weighs 14.10 kilos. In the meantime, the latter stretches an extra 100 mm in height and weighs over 16 kg. Similarly, they also have different types of handles as the Club 120 has a folding one and the Stage 320 comes with telescopic collapsible handles. Moreover, the larger of the two has wheels on its back for easier portability.

Audio and Features

For audio, both the JBL PartyBox feature two woofers and two tweeters. The woofers and tweeters on the JBL PartyBox Stage 320 are 6.5 inches and 25mm respectively. Contrarily, the company shies away from mentioning the sizes of the sound internals on the JBL PartyBox Club 120. Likewise, the former is capable of 160W and the latter comes with 240W output while both of them are equipped with the AI Sound Boost feature.

The smaller of the two speakers comes with Bluetooth v5.3 while the larger one comes with Bluetooth v5.4 while both the JBL PartyBox offer a Multi-point connection. Furthermore, they also support Auracast, which allows one to connect to another JBL speaker to create a stereo effect. They also accept dual mic and guitar inputs all while featuring an AUX and a USB Type-A port. You can fine-tune these speakers and access additional controls via the JBL PartyBox app.

Playback and Charging

In terms of playtime, the JBL PartyBox Club 120 can last you 12 hours and Stage 320 pushes the number to 18 hours. When these speakers run out of juice, you can either plug in for 10 minutes to get over an hour’s worth of playtime or simply swap out the battery.
