In this article, let’s take a look at the Realme GT Neo 6 SE, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Display

The Realme GT Neo SE features a BOE-manufactured 8T LTPO AMOLED display with a 1.5k resolution and 120Hz refresh rate (0.5 to 120 Hz). But the most intriguing part is the claim of ‘6000’ nits of peak brightness. Of course, this likely refers to a reading for a small area during HDR content but it’s super impressive nonetheless. The current record is held at an impressive ‘5000’ nits by Honor’s Magic 6 Pro followed by the ‘4500’ nits of a couple of BBK’s offerings (OnePlus 12, Find X7 Ultra). The global brightness of 1,600 nits is pretty appealing as well. Moreover, the display also has 2160Hz PWM dimming, up to 2500Hz touch sampling, and a bunch of other bells and whistles.

Realme GT Neo 6 SE display and design

Moreover, it retains the same silver design as the flagship model. With a nano mirror coating, it gets a titanium sky mirror look. Plus, a misty AG process gives it a texture like titanium’s reflection.

Camera

Moving on to optics, you get a 50 MP Sony IMX882 as the main camera and an 8MP IMX355 ultra-wide on the rear. Sitting in the hole-punch is a 32MP Sony IMX615 selfie camera.

To catch you up to speed, it’s Qualcomm’s latest offering in the premium midrange segment with a similar core architecture to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 — be it with lower clocks and an inferior GPU. And for the first time in a ‘Snapdragon 7’ series chip, you get onboard AI capabilities with the AI engine and NPU. The Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC is accompanied by up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. Moreover, the GT Neo 6 SE sports a 5,500 mAh cell with support for 100W SUPERVOOC charger.

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is unavailable in Nepal. But WHY?

Ultra-wideband is held as the future of wireless technology, with wide usability and prospects to develop further in the coming days. However, ultra-wideband doesn’t work here in Nepal. But, why though? Let’s discuss more about UWC and try to answer the burning question, shall we?

Ultra-wideband in Nepal

Introduction

Ultra-wideband is a radio technology that uses a wide frequency band to transmit data over short distances. It is similar to popular technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and NFC. But what sets it apart from others is that uses a very wide frequency of over 500 MHz to several GHz. On top of that, it can also provide time-of-flight measurements with an accuracy of a few centimetres while operating on very low levels of energy.

As a result of these unique characteristics, tech companies are utilising ultra-wideband for precision location tracking. Furthermore, companies like Apple, and Samsung have also incorporated UWB in their high-end smartphones.

Usage

Even though UWB has been around for decades, it only started garnering attention and usage in recent years. As it stands, ultra-wideband is widely used in different fields such as manufacturing, healthcare, and so on. It is primarily used for tracking, thanks to its precision.

Even individuals have been utilising the UWB technology in recent years — thanks to devices like Apple’s Airtag, and Samsung’s SmartTag. Manufacturers have designed these “tags” to function like a keyring. As such, people attach it to their important belongings such as suitcases, keys, and even pets. Consequently, they have been able to retrieve their assets in case they misplace them with the help of their smartphones with UWB support.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Design

Currently, developers are considering utilising ultra-wideband for wireless USB, keyless cars, and even smart homes. This technology is still in the evolutionary stage and may have an entirely unexplored utility in the future. Whatever usage we might find for UWB in the coming days, this technology will certainly be crucial down the road.

What about UWB in Nepal?

Even though UWB will be a significant piece of tech in the near future, it is sadly unavailable here in Nepal. Matter of fact, Apple lists Nepal as one of only 12 countries where ultrawideband is unavailable. But why is this the case? Do the authorities even know about UWB?

Well, turns out, they do. Nepal Telecommunications Authority has briefly touched upon short-range and ultra-wideband devices in their draft of the “National Spectrum Strategy”. Though this may sound good and all, but, the situation looks bleak for UWB technology nonetheless. Because in the same draft, it says that “adequate regulation of these devices is necessary”.

Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA)

This means that UWB is facing the same “No Policy” fiasco as other great things in Nepal. Unfortunately, it is not something uncommon in our country. For example, we do not have any concrete policies regarding cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or blockchain in general, even though it’s a big deal worldwide. What adds salt to the wound is that authorities banned them citing a completely different legislation.

Similarly, there were no policies for registering Nepal-manufactured vehicles like Yatri until recently. Another such example would be ride-sharing oscillating in a limbo of legality for seven whole years before finally receiving legal status. Alas, what can I say, other than it’s a sad situation?

Conclusion

We have heard of cases where people have benefitted greatly from the UWB technology. On the other hand, there definitely are concerns regarding privacy and the potential for an offence such as stalking that Nepal may not be able to regulate either. However, manufacturers are already working on limiting such nefarious usage.

Hence, we should not solely worry about the negatives of this amazing technology and embrace it with open arms. For this, concerned authorities should draw their attention and work to facilitate and regulate ultra-wideband in Nepal!

Nothing Phone (2) launched in Nepal with aggresive pricing and freebies

0

After a long-awaited time, the Nothing Phone (2) has officially launched in Nepal. Chaudhary Group, the new authorised distributor of Nothing and CMF products, have officially started the prebooking of its flagship Phone (2) starting from the 10th of April. So let’s walk through everything the Nothing Phone (2) has to offer, including its design, updated Glyph Interface, specifications, and official price in Nepal. 

Nothing Phone (2) Overview:

An Improved Glyph Interface

One of the USPs of the Phone (1) was its Glyph Interface. Phone (2) takes it a step further by adding more functionality and LED lights – yeah, they added more lights. The Glyph Interface on the Phone (2) now has 33 lighting zones over Phone (1)’s 12. They have added new ringtones and notification sounds alongside a bunch of other features like Reverse Charging Glyph, Google Assistant feedback, Bedtime Schedule, Glyph Progress, Glyph Composer, and so on. But the good news is that since most of these are software features, the Phone (1)-to some extent-will be getting them as well.

  • Meanwhile, read all the prices and specs of Nothing products here

Design and Display 

Nothing Phone (2) borrows its overall theme from its predecessor, Phone (1), while slightly improving on it. Just like Phone (1), it is a glass sandwich with a recycled aluminum frame. But it’s a little bit thicker and heavier now thanks to the larger screen and bigger battery which we’ll get to very soon. There are symmetrical bezels on either side, and the previously flat back is slightly curved. Phone (2) is IP54 dust and water-resistant, improving upon Phone (1)’s IP53 rating. 

Nothing Phone 2 Design

Nothing Phone (2) sports a 6.7 “ OLED screen with 10-bit colors. This time around, Nothing has included an LTPO display which should help with battery life by adjusting the refresh rate depending upon the scenario. The 120Hz panel has a touch sampling rate of 240 Hz. The screen has a resolution of 2412 x 1080 with a pixel density of 394 ppi. Other than that, it has HDR10 and SGS Low Blue Light certification. It can reach 1000 nits of outdoor brightness and 1600 nits of HDR peak brightness. 

Performance 

Unlike the Phone (1), Nothing Phone (2) boasts flagship performance. Under the hood, it is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. It’s an Octa-core processor fabbed under a 4nm process. The integrated Adreno 730 GPU brings a 30% boost in graphics performance over the Adreno 660 which in itself is more potent than the 642L powering the Nothing Phone (1).

On the memory front, you get 8/12GB of RAM alongside 128/256/512GB of storage. The higher storage options are reserved for the 12GB variant.

Camera

Nothing Phone (2) also improves in the camera department. Now, it features Sony’s IMX890 sensor as its primary camera, while Samsung’s ISOCELL JN1 ultrawide sensor remains the same. Both are 50 MP sensors with apertures of f/1.88 and f/2.2, respectively. Oh, and just like Phone (1), Phone (2) has OIS as well. But, the Phone (2) can record 4K video at up to 60 fps instead of 30.

Nothing Phone 2 Camera

The selfie camera sees an upgrade too. The 16MP sensor is now replaced by a more capable 32MP Sony IMX615 sensor with f/2.45 aperture. Camera features on the Nothing Phone (2) include Advanced HDR, Motion Capture 2.0, Super-res Zoom, Night Mode, Document Mode, and so on.  

Battery and Miscellaneous

As I mentioned before, Phone (2) has a larger 4700mAh battery, a 200mAh bump from the last generation. It supports 45W PPS fast charging that can juice the device to 100% in under an hour (~55 mins). For reference, Nothing Phone (1) was capped at 33W of fast charging and could reach 100% in 70 minutes. Wireless and Reversed Wireless Charging speeds remain the same at 15W and 5W, respectively.

Nothing Phone 2 Charging

Nothing Phone (2) ships with Nothing OS 2.0 on top of Android 13. The company promises 3 years of major OS updates and 4 years of security patches. It has an in-display fingerprint sensor and face recognition for security.
