Honor X7d launched with massive 6,500 mAh battery and 120Hz display

0

Honor just dropped the X7d, yeah god knows how many more X7x phones are yet to come, but hey this looks like it will last for a decent time. Anyway, you’re getting a massive 6,500 mAh battery paired with a 120Hz display among other stuff. Now, let’s dive in this article , where i will discuss everything about the latest Honor X7d, including rumors about its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Honor X7d Overview

Display and Design

Honor X7d Design and Display

You’re getting a 6.77-inch LCD panel with 120Hz refresh rate, which is a clear upgrade from previous models. The resolution is still 720p+ though, which is really poor to tell you honestly, but this will work you fine for basic usage. The phone comes in four colors: Desert Gold, Ocean Cyan, Meteor Silver, and Velvet Black.

Durability Focus

But anyway you do get a SGS 5-star drop-survival certification. That means this thing should handle accidental drops pretty well. It also packs IP65 certification, so it’s protected from dust and strong water jets – not full immersion, but better than most budget phones.

All things considered, Honor seems to be positioning this as a phone for people who are rough with their devices.

Performance and Memory

At its core is the Snapdragon 685, which is honestly a nearly three-year-old processore. Obviously, it’s not that great of a chip, as i know this for a fact, because i was once using Redmi Note 12 couple of years back, but its decent enough for average usage. But overtime, this thing will start getting lag like crazy.

But here’s where it gets interesting – you can get this thing with up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB storage. That’s unusually high RAM for this price category, which should help with multitasking even if the processor isn’t the newest.

Camera and Battery

The camera setup includes a 108MP main sensor with f/1.75 aperture and a 2MP depth sensor that’s basically just there for portrait blur. The front camera is an 8MP unit with f/2.0 aperture.

Yeah, I think it makes sense to focus on that 6,500 mAh battery though. Combined with the 720p screen and mid-tier chip, battery life should easily last two days for most users. It supports 35W SuperCharge, which isn’t class-leading but should get you topped up reasonably fast.

Software

It runs MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15, so at least you’re getting the latest Android features.

Honor X7d Specifications

  • Display: 6.77-inch LCD, 720p+, 120Hz refresh rate
  • Processor: Snapdragon 685 (2-year-old chipset)
  • RAM: 12GB / 16GB options

  • Other: SGS 5-star drop-survival, IP65 rating

Honor X7d Price in Nepal and Availability

Honor hasn’t revealed official pricing or launch timeline yet. Based on similar Honor phones and the specs, we expect it to start around NPR 22,000 when it launches.

NRB orders the shutdown of Nepal’s only 100% digital banking platform, OrangeNXT

Nepal’s first fully digital banking service, OrangeNXT, is being shut down. Yeah, the one and only. You might think, “wait, wasn’t this supposed to be the future of banking?” Well, apparently not. Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has just ordered Laxmi Sunrise Bank to close the service, which means OrangeNXT’s customers now have to move back to traditional banking services.

OrangeNXT has been around for over one and a half years, launched in January 2024 by Laxmi Sunrise in partnership with FoneNXT. This neobanking platform was a fully digital experience, with no paperwork or visiting a physical location. Just a smartphone and a stable internet connection were all you needed.

OrangeNXT to be shut down

No wonder the young people loved it, and so did Nepalis living abroad. In fact, over 65,000 users signed up to OrangeNXT, holding deposits worth NPR 170 million. And it had some pretty clever features too. Gamified savings, personalized accounts, video KYC, etc. All that jazz. We tried it ourselves as well, and were pretty impressed by how feature-rich and easy it was to use. You can read all about it in our review here.

NRB monetary policy 2025-26 discussing neobank
An excerpt from NRB Monetary Policy 2025/26

But now, all that gets undone because NRB says the proper legal framework for all-digital banking platforms isn’t ready yet. Which is quite strange because NRB’s own monetary policy for 2025/26 is clearly pro-neobanks. And did I mention that OrangeNXT had already been up and running since January 2024?

How does this affect the customers?

With NRB’s cruel directive, all those 65,000 OrangeNXT customers will now need to migrate to traditional banks for their services. Imagine trying to explain that to your parents or relatives who are not tech-savvy. And speaking to The Kathmandu Post, Laxmi Sunrise Bank’s information officer, Mr. Piyush Raj Aryal, said:

“We are the first bank to launch a fully app-based digital banking product, so the central bank is examining its potential risks, compliance issues, and other legal dimensions. Once the NRB completes its assessment, it may provide a way forward. For now, the product has been put on hold”.

A global perspective

The concept of neobanking may be news to our parts of the world, but it’s absolutely huge in countries like India, Brazil, the UK, China, Germany, and the US. Some rely on partnerships, some have independent licenses.

Brazil’s NuBank, for example, became Latin America’s largest fintech bank with over 122 million customers across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. The Philippines has multiple neo-banks. Even India has fully digital banks like OrangeNXT. And yet in Nepal, the first attempt is being shut down before it has had the chance to fully spread its wings.

The bigger picture

But of course, this isn’t the Nepal Government’s first rodeo. We have seen a similar fate handed out to ride-sharing apps like Pathao in the past as well. Yatri Motorcycles struggled with regulations, too. Whenever something new comes along, instead of making rules and frameworks, the government’s first instinct seems to be shutting them down.

My final words

Yeah, I think it makes sense to question this official approach. NRB’s action leaves Nepal behind in fintech adoption, frustrates users, and halts progress. And yet, the discussion about neobanks is still alive on paper. Will neobanking ever truly arrive in Nepal this year? We don’t know. But if OrangeNXT is any indication, the road ahead is going to be… bumpy.

The new Redmi Note 15 5G is here with downgraded cameras

Xiaomi has just launched its entry-level Redmi Note 15 smartphone along with its Pro siblings. The Note series has been the best-selling series from Xiaomi for years now, although this guy has some questionable camera downgrades compared to its predecessor. So in this article, we will be discussing everything about the latest Redmi Note 15 5G, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Redmi Note 15 5G Overview

Display and Design

On the front, you are now getting a 6.77-inch 12-bit curved AMOLED display here, which is slightly bigger compared to the 6.67-inch flat AMOLED panel on the Redmi Note 14 5G. While it boasts 3,200 nits of peak brightness for HDR content as well.

Redmi Note 15 5G Design

The panel also supports a fast 120Hz refresh rate, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, an optical in-display fingerprint reader, and Xiaomi’s own “Dragon Crystal Glass” protection.

Xiaomi has even secured 3,840Hz PWM dimming for this screen alongside TÜV Rheinland’s eye-care certification for comfortable use at night. Whereas it’s got a stereo speaker setup with an interesting 300% volume boost feature.

Redmi Note 15’s build quality also looks decent with an IP66 dust/splash resistance and a thin-and-light body. Since it measures just 7.35mm thick and weighs just 178 grams.

Performance and Software

This time, Redmi has gone with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset built on a 4nm process. Which brings a big performance upgrade over MediaTek chips that Xiaomi went with on both the Redmi Note 14 5G (review) and the Redmi Note 13 5G (review).

Snapdragon 6 Gen 3

And Xiaomi has paired it with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, while also leaving room for a microSD card in case you’d wanna add more. In terms of software, the all-new Redmi Note 15 ships with Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2 based on Android 15.

Its main camera even has a smaller sensor size at 1/2.88″ vs 1/1.67″. The only piece of good news here is that it can now shoot 4K 30 fps videos.

Xiaomi has also gotten rid of the useful 8MP ultrawide sensor this time and replaced the 2MP macro shooter with a 2MP depth unit. While the Note 14’s 20MP f/2.2 selfie camera has also been replaced by an 8MP sensor.

Redmi Note 15 5G Camera

Coming to the battery, the Redmi Note 15 5G has a huge 5,800 mAh battery and even a dedicated Surge G1 battery management chip. It supports 45W wired charging and 18W reverse wired charging as well.

Insta360 GO Ultra goes official with a 221% larger image sensor!

Insta360 just dropped the GO Ultra, and they’ve basically redesigned their tiny action camera from the ground up. You’re getting a 221% bigger sensor compared to the Insta360 GO 3S, 4K 60 fps recording, and a completely new square design that ditches the pill shape we’ve seen before. Let’s dive into this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest Insta360 GO Ultra, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Insta360 GO Ultra Overview

A design revolution

The GO Ultra has completely changed its game with its new square design. At 1.8 inches × 1.8 inches, it’s still compact but feels more substantial than the pill-shaped GO 3S.

At 53 grams, it’s about 14g heavier than its predecessor. But when you dock it with the case (which doubles as a charger and preview screen), the whole setup weighs just 110 grams.

What’s crazy is that even when docked, this thing is still lighter than competitors like the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro or Insta360’s own Ace Pro 2.

Sensor and performance leap

The best part about the Insta360 GO Ultra is that it now packs a 1/1.28″ sensor that’s over twice the size of the GO 3S. That’s paired with a 5nm chip and an ambient light sensor for better low-light capture.

In terms of recording modes, it can do 4K at 60 fps, 4K at 30 fps with Active HDR, and 1080p up to 240fps for slow-motion shots. Photography jumps up to 50MP with RAW support, which is pretty impressive for something this small.

Battery and durability

The built-in 500mAh battery on the GO Ultra gives you about 70 minutes of standalone recording. But the clever part is indeed that with the Action Pod, you can stretch that to around 200 minutes at lower recording settings. It’s IPX8 waterproof up to 33 feet and supports microSD cards up to 2TB, so storage shouldn’t be an issue either.

Mounting and software

The magnetic back of this tiny camera lets you stick it directly to metal surfaces. While Insta360’s accessory ecosystem includes an upgraded magnetic pendant for chest mounting, sticky tabs, and even a hat clip for kids.

The Insta360 app handles editing, plus you can overlay fitness data from Strava or paired smartwatches, which is a nice touch for workout videos.

Insta360 GO Ultra Specifications

  • Dimensions: 1.8 × 1.8-inch, 53 gm (110 gm with dock)
  • Camera: 1/1.28-inch sensor with f/2.85 aperture, 14.27mm focal length
  • Chipset: 5nm processor with an ambient light sensor
  • Video: 4K 60 fps, 4K 30 fps with Active HDR, 1080p 240fps
  • Photography: 50MP, RAW support

  • Waterproof: IPX8 rating (up to 33 feet)
  • Storage: microSD up to 2TB
  • Other: Magnetic mounting, Insta360 app, Fitness overlays

Insta360 GO Ultra Price in Nepal and Availability

While the Creator Bundle with extra accessories like a mini tripod and pivot stand fetches USD 50 more. And when it launches here in Nepal, we expect the price of the Insta360 GO Ultra to start at NPR 70,999.

Itel Zeno 20 launched with a 90Hz display and Android 14 Go

0

Itel just dropped the Zeno 20, a budget phone that’s trying to pack some decent specs for less than hundre bucks. As you might already noticed, this isn’t really any specticular phone worth thinking about, but yet, you’re still getting a 90Hz display and Android 14 Go Edition, which is not bad for this price range. Okay without further ado, let’s dive in this article, where i will discuss everything about the latest Itel Zeno 20, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Itel Zeno 20 Overview

Display and Design

Itel Zeno 20

You’re getting a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution and up to 90Hz refresh rate. For a budget phone, that 90Hz is actually nice to see – most phones in this range are still stuck at 60Hz. But as i told you earlier, the screen won’t blow you away with sharpness.  The phone comes in three colors: Starlit Black, Space Titanium, and Aurora Blue. It also packs IP54 rating, so it can handle some splashes and dust.

Performance and Storage

At its core is the Unisoc Tiger T7100 chipset. Again, not that great here, and it’s not going to win any speed contests, but it should handle basic tasks fine. You can get it with either 3GB or 4GB of RAM, paired with 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. There’s microSD support if you need more space.

Meanwhile, on the software front, it runs Android 14 Go Edition. That’s Google’s lightweight version designed specifically for budget phones, so it should actually run pretty smoothly on the limited hardware.

Camera and Battery

The camera setup is pretty basic – you’re getting a single 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. The 5,000 mAh battery is decent for this price range and should easily get you through a full day.

Software and Features

It runs with Itel’s Aivana 2.0 voice assistant that supports Hindi. There’s also DTS sound enhancements, which might help the audio quality a bit. Itel is throwing in one free screen replacement, which is actually pretty generous for a budget phone.
