NVIDIA has officially unveiled the GeForce RTX 5050, the latest addition to its RTX 50-series lineup. This entry-level GPU is based on the new Blackwell architecture and features 2560 CUDA cores, 8GB GDDR6 memory, and support for DLSS 4. So, without further ado, let’s go through the details of the NVIDIA RTX 5050, including its specifications and official price in Nepal.
NVIDIA RTX 5050 Overview:
Processor and Memory
The GeForce RTX 5050 is built on Nvidia’s latest Blackwell architecture and uses the GB207 GPU die. It features 2560 CUDA cores, which is about two-thirds of what the RTX 5060 offers. The card has a base clock speed of 2.31GHz and can boost up to 2.57GHz, and has a max TGP of 130W.
In terms of memory, the RTX 5050 comes with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 128-bit memory interface. It lacks the newer GDDR7 memory seen in other 50-series GPUs, but the inclusion of 8GB might be sufficient for most modern titles at Full HD resolution. Other than this, the RTX 5050 has 5th Generation Tensor cores with up to 421 TOPS of AI performance.
Also, there is no Founders Edition model from Nvidia.
Nvidia claims that the GeForce RTX 5050 delivers up to 60% better and faster performance compared to the RTX 3050. While official benchmarks are limited, early figures suggest that it performs roughly on par with the RTX 4060 in some titles. The card supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, helping improve frame rates in supported games. NVIDIA’s “Reflex” technology to minimize input latency is also present here.

So… whenever someone asks me to recommend a decent tablet other than Apple’s iPads, my mind immediately goes to the Xiaomi Pad series. Like a reflex, almost. It’s definitely not like you can’t find more powerful and more capable tablets with a more appealing set of features, but for most folks who just wanna:
watch their favorite shows and movies on a bigger screen,
read some books,
take some notes,
or play some games, Xiaomi’s midrange tablets hit just right.
Which means Xiaomi didn’t really have to try very hard with the new one either. And that’s exactly what the Xiaomi Pad 7 does this year. It brings a couple of neat little upgrades here and there — on top of one massive upgrade — but Xiaomi’s recipe has mostly remained the same.
Xiaomi Pad 7 review: Specifications
Design and Build: 251.22 x 173.42 x 6.18 mm, 500 gm
And instead of taking up too much of your time to reveal what that “massive upgrade” is, I wanna start right there actually. It’s performance. The Xiaomi Pad 7’s biggest upgrade is in the performance department.
Performance
Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 (4nm)
8/12GB RAM, 128/256GB storage (non-expandable)
Android 15 with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2.0 on top
4 years of OS and 6 years of security updates
Xiaomi went with the new Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chip this time and I absolutely love how it’s in an entirely different league compared to the good ol’ Snapdragon 870 on the Xiaomi Pad 6. Both in terms of the CPU and the GPU.
Just so you know, the 7+ Gen 3 is almost as powerful as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the 8s Gen 3. Especially in terms of the CPU. Xiaomi has also married this Qualcomm chip with a fast LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage so yeah, I pretty much never had any performance hiccup on the Pad 7. No matter what I did.
I don’t mean to say that you can feel that performance jump every time you unlock it or whatever, but I’ve definitely noticed moments where the 7+ Gen 3 clearly flexes its muscles.
Especially when I’m gaming. It can consistently push more frames than the Xiaomi Pad 6 at every game you can think of, it stays fairly nice and cool as well, although I found that the Xiaomi Pad 7 hasn’t been optimized for high-fps gaming just yet. Unlike what I’ve seen on some smartphones with the same 7+ Gen 3 chip. Like the OnePlus Nord 4 (review).
Terrific performance all around
Other than gaming, I’ve also noticed a better multitasking experience on the Xiaomi Pad 7. I guess some of that credit goes to the newer, faster processor itself, but I believe there are two more reasons why this guy feels… smoother overall.
The first thing is that it now has 8GB of memory instead of 6GB in the base configuration alone. Fantastic! Whereas Xiaomi’s “HyperOS 2.0” software based on Android 15 also comes with a few system-level optimizations to make it all possible. I know it’s not a drastic redesign like HyperOS 1.0 was compared to MIUI, but it does bring a few interesting customization options and AI.
So you’ve got the basic stuff like a text generator, one that lets me convert my hilariously rough sketches into prettier images, or one that can transcribe and summarize my voice notes. But like I geeked out in my impression video, the one feature that caught my eye the most is something called “dynamic wallpapers”. It uses AI to sorta… animate my still images for a more… dynamic background, which looks pretty cool.
That’s not all either. You might already know that I love what Xiaomi does with the software experience on its tablets, and that love has only gotten stronger with HyperOS 2.0. The animations and system-wide transitions look more fluid now — but more importantly — it brings the one feature I’ve been begging from Xiaomi all this time.
A sidebar to quickly launch any app I want, from any place I want. Xiaomi did put its own spin on it and instead of a sidebar, there’s now a “search” icon on the taskbar itself for easier multitasking or when I want to switch between different apps. And like always, the Xiaomi Pad 7 enjoys all the other large-screen features like split-screen, floating window, and app pairs too.
So yeah, like I said in the very beginning, the Xiaomi Pad 7’s performance upgrades are nothing short of incredible. Whether you look at raw performance or software experience, this is easily Xiaomi’s most impressive midrange tablet yet. Easily.
Design and build
251.22 x 173.42 x 6.18 mm, 500 grams
Gorilla Glass 3 front, aluminum back/frames
No IP rating
But take a look anywhere else and you’ll see exactly why I called the Xiaomi Pad 7 an “iterative upgrade”. Like its design, for example.
This guy measures and weighs sli…ghtly different than the Xiaomi Pad 6 but other than that, you’ll have a hard time telling these two apart from their looks alone. The Pad 7 has the same premium finish with an aluminum back and frames, the same squarish camera design, similar color options, and the same USB 3.2 connection for high-speed data transfers.
Maybe that’s not a bad thing at all ‘cause after all… “don’t fix it if it ain’t broke”, right?
Display
11.2-inch 3.2K IPS panel
144 Hz refresh rate, 800 nits peak brightness
HDR10, Dolby Vision support
But man, I so wish the Xiaomi Pad 7 had an OLED display this time! That was, in fact, at the top of my bucket list of upgrades for this thing. But nope. The Xiaomi Pad 7 still carries the same ol’ LCD panel but with a few notable improvements sprinkled on top.
Including a sharper 3.2K resolution instead of 2.8K and 800 nits of peak brightness instead of 550 nits. Plus, since the display itself is slightly larger now, its aspect ratio has gone from 16:10 to 3:2 as well. I know none of this sounds all too exciting, but I gotta admit that all these upgrades have really been quite convenient to me.
For example, that sharper resolution means I no longer need to squint my eyes too hard when I’m going through a PDF or a spreadsheet on the Xiaomi Pad 7. Whereas that higher peak brightness makes a big difference in two important ways:
number 1, it makes looking at the tablet easier even when you’re in a fairly well-lit room. That’s… pretty obvious.
and number 2, it also makes watching HDR videos a bit more immersive.
Which reminds me, the Xiaomi Pad 7 has no trouble playing HDR videos either. It’s got both HDR 10 and Dolby Vision certification, and whether you’re catching up with the second season of “Squid Games” on Netflix like I am these days — or watching some HDR video on YouTube — the Xiaomi Pad 7 can play them all just fine.
A nice set of speakers
And I really feel like its quad speakers deserve some praise too. There’s still not a lot of bass if that’s what you were hoping for but it gets decently loud, sounds decently clear, and is decent for everything from listening to some music to watching your favorite shows.
Getting back to the display, so one of the reasons why the Xiaomi Pad 7 feels smooth to interact with is also because of its 144 Hz refresh rate. Although I should tell you that this is practically a 120 Hz display since it only ever hits 144 Hz on Chrome and nowhere else. No matter what setting I mess around with.
Oh, and there’s one more thing.
So even though Xiaomi didn’t go with an OLED panel this time, like I had so. desperately. hoped, it does have an interesting display upgrade. ‘Cause just like Apple’s iPad Pros or the latest MacBook Pros, the Xiaomi Pad 7 can also be configured with a nano-texture display that apparently reduces screen reflection by 65% and gets rid of light glares by 99%.
Battery
8,850 mAh battery (45W charging)
45W adapter in the box
Alright.
I wanna talk about the battery life next. And… the Xiaomi Pad 7 has a similar 8,850 mAh battery as last year’s Xiaomi Pad 6. And with a little bit of this, a little bit of that, I’ve been getting anywhere from 8 – 9 hours of screen on this thing. A perfect “A” for a tablet of this size.
And while there was no upgrade when it comes to the actual battery size, Xiaomi has bumped the charging speed from 33W to 45W. Which takes around an hour and a half for a complete refill.
Cameras
13MP rear, 8MP selfie camera
I guess the only thing I haven’t talked about so far is its cameras, so let’s get it over with as well. The Xiaomi Pad 7 has the exact same camera setup as before, and I’ll say the exact same thing I said last year: “it is fine for taking pictures of notes and stuff but nothing more”.
But would you believe me if I said that Xiaomi has actually got rid of a super useful feature this time? So remember that “Focus Frame” thing where the front camera would follow you around to keep you focused and in the frame at all times?
Yeah… the Xiaomi 7 can’t do that. It still has a couple of other useful conferencing tools like a “fill light” for when you’re attending a call somewhere dark, but not that one.
Xiaomi Pad 7 review: Conclusion
Okay, let me wrap up this review of the Xiaomi Pad 7 now.
And based on everything I’ve talked about, it’s clear that this is a fantastic midrange tablet that gets a lot of things right. A fantastic midrange tablet that checks a lot of boxes… whatever you wanna say. I’m still kinda bummed that we didn’t get an OLED display this year as previously rumored but Xiaomi’s latest midrange tablet hits just right.
And if you’re looking to spend like NPR 50,000 rupees on a brand-new tablet, the Xiaomi Pad 7 is easily the best option in Nepal. The thing is, this segment doesn’t even have much competition to begin with. There’s the 11th Gen iPad (review) and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S10 FE (review) if you’re willing to extend your budget by 40 – 80%. But even then, I’d argue that you’ll only be spending more money for a worse experience.
‘Cause that iPad has a painfully slow 60 Hz refresh rate and a slow 20W charging… just to name a few. Whereas my biggest complaint about the Tab S10 FE is definitely its performance. Since its Exynos 1580 is simply not fast enough or optimized well enough compared to the 7+ Gen 3.
One of the brands that has been consistently improving over the past 2 years has to be Tecno! From introducing value for money foldables to bringing good specs in the mid-range & budget price, we see quite a few good phones from Tecno these days. I have been testing Tecno’s latest Camon 40 Pro for around 2 weeks, and it looks like quite a balanced phone for the price. Let’s dig deeper!
Tecno Camon 40 Pro Specifications

Tecno Camon 40 Pro Review
Design
Design- wise, it’s fair to say that the Tecno Camon 40 Pro doesn’t look like anything else in the market right now, especially if you look at its camera module. The phone is available in a couple of color options, Black, Green and White, to be precise and we have been rocking this Green one that looks quite refreshing.
The Tecno Camon 40 Pro has a nice, curved design that is built entirely of plastic. The hands on feel on it is nice and the phone is quite comfortable to hold as well. And most importantly, the company has made sure to include IP68/69 rating here which is great to see on a phone at tis price range. Overall, not many things to complain about the design side of things!
Display
I couldn’t find many things to nitpick in terms of the display too. You are getting a big 6.78 inch AMOLED display with 144Hz refresh rate, and HDR certification. The display on this phone looks nice and bright with great contrast and black levels. You also get Gorilla Glass 7i protection on the front for better durability.
There, however, are two things that I would nitpick about this display, No 1. It does not have HDR support in Netflix or any other OTT platforms for that matter and No. 2 the 144Hz refresh rate only works in the settings menu and nowhere else. If you set the refresh rate to dynamic, the max refresh rate you can get is 120Hz.
Speakers
Tecno has also made sure to include a good set of stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support here. The speakers are not the loudest but balanced enough to watch movies and listen to some music.
Haptics
I am pretty happy with the haptics on the Tecno Camon 40 Pro too. It has an X axis vibration motor so the feedback is tight while typing ang going through the UI. Although I have to mention that the vibration feedback is not the most impactful while ringing because there have been times that I have missed a few calls while on vibration mode here.
Performance
Moving on, the Tecno Camon 40 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G chipset, which I would say is decent enough for its price. The phone feels decently fast and there aren’t stutters or lags in the UI which is great.
Tecno has even optimized the Camon 40 Pro for gaming. I got a stable enough 85-90 fos average in PUBG and while gaming, it does not heat up either. If you are someone who likes playing Mobile Legends, good news is that you can play the game and achieve around 120 fps. Most other phones in the same price range are stuck with 60 fps in the said games, so there really isn’t much to complain about regarding the gaming prowess of this phone.
In addition to that the phone is able to handle multitasking with around 7-9 apps easily and I found the RAM management to be good here.
Software
That being said, the HiOS skin here leaves a little bit to be desired. For context, the Tecno Camon 40 Pro comes with Android 15 with the company’s HiOS on top 15 on top, which provides you a fairly clean experience, but at the same time it feels a little unpolished especially when you compare it against the likes of Nothing OS, or Oxygen OS or Samsung’s OneUI.
The usage isn’t buggy, but a little change in the look and feel of the UI is certainly what I would appreciate in the next version of tecno’s software. By the way, Tecno has promised 3 years of OS and 4 years of security updates, which is great, it is as good as phones from OnePlus, Nothing and even Redmi for that matter.
Additionally, Tecno has not missed out any kind of AI features here either. You get an AI assistant called Ella that helps you with things like summarizing texts, writing essays and emails, there are other AI features like Magic Eraser, image extender and Real time call translation, etc.
The overall AI experience here is almost almost like you get with some of the more expensive phones out there.
Camera
Okay, before moving to the battery and charging bit, let’s talk about the camera’s on this device. It has a 50MP primary camera accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 50 MP camera on the front.
Day time
1 of 4
Tecno’s Camon series has always focussed on the design and camera side of things, and I have to say, its cameras didn’t disappoint me either, at least most of it.
selfie
1 of 4
First of all, I would like to give a special shoutout to its selfie camera, it produces quite nice looking selfies. Yes, there is a little hint of extra contrast hare, but the output is not overpowering and the skin tone looks nice and polished too.
Even with the main camera, the company has made sure to dial down the saturation in comparison to its predecessor. This time around, we get some relatively natural looking images with good details and nice sharpness. The dynamic range isn’t on point all the time, but maybe an update will fix it later.
Ultrawide
1 of 3
Especially with the ultra wide lens, the images come out a little darker with poor dynamic range and average details.
Portrait
1 of 4
Also, the portraits from it are a little inconsistent. Sometimes they appear dark and contrasty, while the other times the skin tone and background blur is nicely preserved. It’s kind of conditional, like, if the lighting is good, the images come out good enough otherwise, the phone messes up.
Its videography aspect is decent too, You get the option to shoot up to 4k 30 fps and the videos aren’t bad. They are not the most stable to 4k resolution, but if you are someone who likes shooting tiktok or instagram videos without moving a lot, the videos from it are usable enough to post on social media.
Battery & Charging
Lastly, the Tecno Camon 40 Pro has a 5200 mah battery that provided me with quite standard endurance, i.e. around 7 hours of screen on time on normal to moderate kind of usage. Good thing is that you get a 45 watt charger inside the box that doesn’t take long to fill up the device, it takes around 50 minutes to juice up.
Tecno Camon 40 Review Conclusion
Alright, with all the things I have discussed so far, the Tecno Camon 40 pro seems like quite a nice mid-range phone for its price. There aren’t major flaws here, the design is nice and sleek, the display is good, battery life is decent, we get relatively faster charging and a good number of future updates.
Right now, the phone needs an update or two to fix some minor issues in the camera, and I would have appreciated a better videography prowess too, but other than that, my experience with the phone has been good.

Samsung has officially confirmed the Exynos 2500 chip, which is now in mass production. While many expected it to appear in the Galaxy S25 series, it turns out that won’t happen. Instead, the chip will debut with the Galaxy Z Flip7 on July 9, 2025. This article will discuss everything about the latest Exynos 2500, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
Exynos 2500 Overview
Launch and Availability
Samsung confirmed that the Exynos 2500 will not power the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. Instead, it will make its debut inside the Galaxy Z Flip7. That said, the Flip7 FE variant might still run on the older Exynos 2400 chip.
CPU and Performance
The CPU uses Samsung’s 3nm GAA fabrication. It follows a 10-core design split as 1+2+5+2, but marketed as 1+7+2. It includes:
1x Cortex-X925 at 3.3GHz
2x Cortex-A725 at 2.74GHz
5x Cortex-A725 at 2.36GHz
2x Cortex-A520 at 1.8GHz
According to Samsung, the big-core performance is around 15% better than the Exynos 2400.
GPU
This chip includes the new Xclipse 950 GPU based on AMD’s 4th-gen RDNA 3. It comes with 8 Work Group Processors (up from 6) and 8 Render Backends (up from 4). Samsung claims it gives 28% better frame rates in ray tracing-enabled games. That sounds like a decent bump, at least on paper.
AI and NPU
The NPU features 24K MACs in a 2x 12K cluster layout. It delivers up to 59 TOPS, which is a 39% boost over the last-gen chip. That should help with more on-device AI functions. The chip continues to support UFS 4.0 storage. It also uses Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP), which helps with thermal control and keeps the chip thinner.
Camera and Video
It supports camera sensors up to 320MP and can shoot 8K at 30fps. There’s also AI-powered image processing and multi-layer noise reduction. For video playback, it can go up to 8K at 60fps, with AV1 decoding supported. The integrated 5G modem follows 3GPP Rel. 17 standards:

Nagmani International is getting ready to launch its latest gaming laptop, the Legion 5 15IAX10 (Gen 10), in Nepal. It’s got the new Intel Core Ultra series processors and NVIDIA’s RTX 40-series GPUs. Both base and high-end variants bring some solid performance upgrades over previous models. This article will discuss everything about the latest Lenovo Legion 5 15IAX10, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
Lenovo Legion 5 15IAX10 Overview
Intel Core Ultra HX Series Inside
The Legion 5 Gen 10 comes with either the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX or the Core Ultra 9 275HX. The base one offers 20 cores while the top-end version jumps to 24 cores. You also get higher boost speeds and more cache on the Ultra 9. Both are built to handle heavy multitasking and gaming.
Graphics and Performance
You get two GPU options here: RTX 5060 on the base and RTX 5070 on the high-end variant. Both have 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM and 115W TGP. The RTX 5070 has slightly lower boost clock but more AI TOPS. Honestly, the difference is there but not huge unless you’re doing AI or creative workloads.
Memory and Storage
The base model comes with 24GB DDR5-4800 RAM while the higher one gives you 32GB DDR5-5600. Both offer 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, so not much difference on storage. The RAM is dual-channel in both. It has a 15.1-inch WQXGA OLED panel. Refresh rate hits 165Hz. It supports Dolby Vision and brightness goes up to 500 nits. The display is solid on paper and fits the price point.
There’s an 80Wh battery with Super Rapid Charge support. Plus, it supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. So far, so good. The keyboard is 24-zone RGB backlit. Weight starts from 1.9kg. That’s pretty much what you’d expect for this category.
Lenovo Legion 5 15IAX10 Price in Nepal and Availability
The Lenovo Legion 5 Gen 10 (15IAX10) is launching soon in Nepal. The base version with Core Ultra 7 is expected to start at NPR 250,000. The Ultra 9 version is expected to cost NPR 300,000. For what it packs, the pricing seems aligned with current market rates for gaming laptops.

Lenovo is set to introduce the Legion Pro 5 Gen 10 16IAX10 (2025) in the Nepali market. The laptop features a 16-inch WQXGA OLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy, and support for Dolby Vision and Display HDR True Black 1000. It is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores and paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU featuring 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM. So, let’s discuss the specs, features, price, and availability of the Legion 5 Pro series 2025 in Nepal.
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IAX10 (2025) Series Overview
Design and Display
The new Legion Pro 5 series doesn’t feature a complete re-design of the outer chassis unlike the Legion Pro 7i which has a full-width exhaust at its tail and moves ports to the sides. It’s got a similar look to its predecessor with ports distributed on the sides as well as the back. The Legion is only going to be available in a single ‘Eclipse Black’ color option.
The display does get a massive upgrade though. For the first time ever, you can equip the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 (Gen 10) with an OLED screen. It goes up to a 16” WQXGA screen with up to 240Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of brightness, and less than 0.5 ms of response time. The OLED is a super choice for gamers due to its deeper contrast, and ultrafast response times while the high brightness and vibrant colors will make for a gorgeous media experience.
Legion Pro 5 (AMD) and Legion Pro 5i (Intel) Gen 10
As you might have guessed, we see new AMD and Intel processors on the Legion 5 Pros. On the red team, you get up to a Ryzen 9 9955HX but not the X3D version. I suppose Lenovo is saving the Ryzen 9 9955HX3D for its Legion Pro 7 Gen 10 but there are no words on that yet.
On the Intel side, it goes up to the Core Ultra 9 275HX Arrow Lake processor with 24 cores and threads with a boost clock of 5.4 GHz. Here too, Lenovo seems to be skipping out on the top-of-the-line Ultra 9 285HX but it’s a more reasonable choice since the two only differ by slightly different clock speeds.
For running games and graphically demanding applications, the Legion Pros ship with NVIDIA’s 50 series Maxwell GPUs with options up to the RTX 5070 on the Pro 7 and the RTX 5070 Ti on the Pro 7i. The latter has 50% more VRAM and can operate at up to 140W. There’s also Lenovo’s AI engine with its LA1 and LA3 chips that optimize settings in real time to achieve optimal performance. It’s all kept cool by Lenovo’s Coldfront Hyper tech which we saw perform pretty well in the last-gen Pros as well.
Memory and Connectivity
Just like previous generations, there are 2 SO-DIMM slots for your DDR5 sticks but now you can get up to 32GB of fast 6400 RAM. The SSD speed and configurations remain the same though at up to 2TB PCIe Gen 4 via the dual M.2 slots in the board. As for the ports, there’s an HDMI 2.1 and power connector at the back, with the dual type-C, triple type-A, ethernet, privacy switch, and audio jack on the sides. This year we also get to see the upgrade to faster WiFi 7 alongside Bluetooth 5.4.
The Legion Pro 5 and Pro 5i (2025) both house 80Wh batteries but the Intel version is fed more power with its 300W brick while the Pro 5 gets a smaller 245W charger. The keyboard gets slight upgrades with slightly more travel (1.6mm vs 1.5mm) and granular RGB control (24-zone vs 4-zone previously).
