X-Age launches ConvE Stereo with 20W output

X-Age is a Nepali electronics brand offering a wide range of products. They recently launched two smartphones Snap, and Leap with an affordable price tag. Now, they have added a new wireless speaker to their list of offerings. This article will get into the details of the X-Age ConvE Stereo including its price in Nepal!

X-Age ConvE Stereo Overview

Design and Audio

The latest X-Age speaker comes in a cuboid shape and appears to be quite large. It has RGB lighting strips on both ends while bass radiators are visible through the mesh on the front. The X-Age ConvE Stereo has controls atop along with two rings where you can hook in a strap for easier portability. Moreover, the whole package is splash-proof giving you some level of comfort when carrying it outdoors.

As I have noted earlier, it has two bass radiators. Coupled with the fact that this X-Age ConvE has “Stereo” on its naming, it should offer stereo sound by itself. While that is unclear, the company does mention the speaker packs a full-range driver. Other than that, it does offer 20W of audio output — which is plenty loud.

Features and the rest

The X-Age ConvE Stereo comes with Bluetooth v5.0 to wireless connect with your smartphone or laptop. On top of that, it offers connectivity through other mediums. This includes an AUX port, a TF/MicroSD card slot, and a USB Type-A port. Additionally, it also has a microphone jack and a USB Type-C port which is only utilised to charge the speaker itself. Moreover, you can even tune into FM radio as well.

It also comes equipped with an in-built mic allowing you to receive calls and converse hands-free straight through the speaker. In the tank, the X-Age ConvE Stereo packs a 3,600 mAh battery which should provide a decent playtime. When you do run out of the charge, you can juice up the audio accessory in three to four hours of time frame. Lastly, you can also connect two of these speakers simultaneously to get a full true wireless stereo effect.

X-Age ConvE Stereo Specifications

Speaker Output: 20W
Battery: 3,600mAh, USB Type-C charging interface

X-Age ConvE Stereo Price in Nepal and Availability

The speaker was launched on 28 March 2024 and is available to purchase through authorised online as well as offline portals throughout the country. The X-Age ConvE Stereo price in Nepal is NPR 5,499. However, as an introductory offer, you can get it at over half the price at just NPR 2,699!

Redmi A3 review: A budget phone with a bold design

If you’re in the market for a very affordable and feature-packed smartphone or need a secondary phone, you are at the right place. The title would have already made it clear, yes, I’m talking about the Redmi A3. The latest budget offering is priced at just 12,000 rupees for the 3/64 GB variant, and 13,000 rupees for the 4/128 GB variant.

For this price, Redmi has gone with a stunning design, and the unit I have with me has a leather-like back texture. Additionally, Redmi has provided Android 14 here with the Helio G36 chipset, which is a decent performer for this price range. When you hear all these specs, it sounds too good to be true, so how does the actual phone fare? Is it the best budget phone? Let’s find that out in my Redmi A3 review.

Before heading in, let’s take a look at the specifications of the Redmi A3.

Redmi A3 Specifications:

Display: 6.71-inch LCD panel, HD+ resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 3
Chipset: MediaTek Helio G36 4G (12nm)
Memory: 3/4/6GB LPDDR4X
Storage: 64/128GB eMMC 5.1 (expandable up to 1TB)
Software & UI: Android 14 (2 years of OS updates)
Rear Camera: Dual (with LED flash);
– 8MP f/1.8 primary lens
– 0.08 auxiliary sensor
Front Camera: 5MP f/2.2 (water-drop)
Battery: 5000mAh with 10W USB-C Charging
Color Options: Lake Blue, Olive Green, Midnight Black
Price in Nepal: NPR 11,999 (3/64GB), NPR 12,999 (4/128GB)

Redmi A3 Review

A bold design

168.3 mm x 76.3 mm x 8.3 mm (192 / 199 gm)
Leather/Glass Back, Plastic frames

Let’s start with the design – which is one of its main USP. I mean, just look at this! Would you believe this is a phone priced at 12,000? The camera module is bold and looks premium as compared to other phones in this segment. If you were to compare it to Xiaomi’s flagship phone, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the camera module looks similar – so I can say, there’s been no compromise in terms of looks.

Design

1 of 2

Moreover, the leather-like finish gives it a premium feel on my Olive Green variant. But if you are someone who prefers a glass back, you can choose the Midnight Black and Star Blue color options as well.

Display

6.52” HD+ IPS LCD display
90Hz refresh rate

In terms of display, Redmi has opted for a dewdrop notch screen. I know, it’s understandable for a budget phone to opt for this notch. But Tecno’s Spark Go 2024 brings a hole-punch panel in the very same segment and it looks better.

Apart from that, this is a decent 6.71-inch IPS LCD panel with HD+ resolution. It’s good enough for watching YouTube videos, scrolling through Facebook, or browsing Instagram reels considering the price.

One improvement over the previous model, the Redmi A2, is the inclusion of a 90Hz refresh rate display instead of the static 60Hz. However, don’t expect a super smooth scrolling experience as it’s a budget phone.

At times, I did feel it’s a bit sluggish, apps take a bit of time to load, and switching between them isn’t always seamless. However, compared to the previous 60Hz screen, it’s an improvement. I hope upcoming updates will further optimize the 90Hz refresh rate.

Another thing to note is that Redmi has only provided a peak brightness of 500 nits and during my usage period, I found the screen under direct sunlight to be not bright enough.

Performance

MediaTek Helio G36 4G (12nm)
Octa-core (4×2.2 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4×1.7 GHz Cortex-A53
PowerVR GE8320 GPU

As for the processor, Redmi has opted for the same one used in the Redmi A2/A2+, the Mediatek Helio G36, which is an octa-core chip. For day-to-day usage, the phone performs decently. Basic games like Subway Surfers and Temple Run run smoothly. But sometimes, it does feel a bit sluggish, especially during multitasking.

Software and UI

Android 14

Talking about the software, surprisingly, this phone boots Android 14 out of the box. Why surprisingly? Because even Xiaomi’s recently launched entire Note 13 Series ships with Android 13 out of the box.

Redmi A3 deserves some praise in terms of software updates. Xiaomi has promised 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of security patches, which is commendable for a budget phone.

Unlike its predecessors, which came with stock Android Go Edition, Redmi A3 comes with full-fledged Android 14. However, it’s not entirely stock Android as you’ll still find some MIUI elements here and there, like in the status bar and camera app. Plus, the software info also mentions MIUI, which is a bit strange.

Given its budget nature, it’s not the smoothest device, but if it were running Android Go Edition like its predecessor, it might have been more forgiving on this chip.

Camera

Dual (8MP + 0.08 MP depth)
5MP selfie

This phone comes with a dual-camera setup, featuring an 8-megapixel main camera and a less useful 0.08 MP auxiliary lens. There’s also a 5MP selfie shooter on the front.

Daylight

Considering the price, I didn’t have high expectations for the camera, and as expected, it delivers average photos. Photos taken under daylight conditions look decent, but zooming in reveals a lack of detail, which is understandable for an 8MP camera.

Daylight

1 of 8

Lowlight

Similarly, night-time photos are quite basic, lacking a dedicated night mode option.

Nighttime

1 of 4

Portraits

When it comes to portraits, you get decent enough results for a budget phone. I really don’t wanna complain a lot here.

Portraits

1 of 5

Selfies

Plus, the 5MP selfie camera does a decent job for casual selfies and video calls.

Videography

Video recording tops out at 1080p 30fps, and there’s no stabilization, which is expected at this price point. But again, for a budget phone, it’s decent.

Battery

Non-removable Li-Po 5000mAh battery
10W charging

The Redmi A3 packs a 5000mAh battery, which lasted me about 1.5 days with my usage. Light users can easily stretch it to 2 days. However, it supports only 10W charging, which takes around 2 hours to fully charge! Yes, 2 hours! It would have been nice to see at least 18W fast charging support.

1 of 2

The good news is that Redmi has finally bid farewell to the old-fashioned Micro USB port in favor of a USB Type-C port, which is a welcome change. Plus, it supports dual 4G and microSD card expansion. It also supports Band 20 for 4G, ensuring compatibility in rural areas.

Redmi A3 Review: Conclusion

Overall, Redmi has delivered a decent player in the budget segment with the A3. Its bold design, Gorilla Glass 3 protection, and out-of-the-box Android 14 experience are its strong points. Plus, it offers decent camera performance and acceptable overall performance.

So if you’re looking for a secondary smartphone, this should work fine! And its target audience is slightly older folks who don’t need a high-performance device. And for first-time smartphone users, the Helio G36’s performance should be adequate.

In conclusion, for those on a tight budget and not looking for high performance, the Redmi A3 is a good option at just 12,000 rupees. But if you can spare a bit more from your budget, for just 2,000 more, you can go for the Redmi 13C, which offers better performance and specs.

Redmi A3 Review: Pros and Cons

Pros

Bold design
90Hz display
Boots on Android 14
Decent performance

Cons

Vivo launches two new earbuds under TWS 4 series

Vivo recently launched the X Fold 3, and the Pad3 Pro with an impressive set of specs of their own. The company also launched two new wireless earbuds to complement the other two products. The new entries go under the Vivo TWS 4 series and we will go through both of these earbuds including their expected price in Nepal.

Vivo TWS 4 Series Overview

Design and Audio

The Vivo TWS 4 look identical on the outside with an in-ear design with IP54 water and dust resistance. The charging case is rather squircle and features an indicator and the company logo on the front. Despite their similarities, the finish of the case tells the two off from one another. To clarify further, the base Vivo TWS 4 comes in a matte finish while the Hi-Fi variant opts for a glossy finish. However, the same does not apply to the white trim of these earbuds.

The audio on both the Vivo TWS 4 is delivered by a 12.2mm dynamic driver coupled with ceramic tungsten acoustic diaphragms. Additionally, it comes with up to 55dB noise cancellation. Other than that, it packs three microphones to give you a clear calling experience with the help of AI. Moreover, these earbuds also come with a sound field engine offering you a 3D listening experience.

Vivo X Fold 3 unveiled as the lightest foldable ever alongside the Pro variant!

Vivo recently lifted the curtains on its 3rd generation of foldables with a vanilla X Fold 3 model alongside a beefier Pro. In this article, let’s take a quick look at both, their similarities, differences, expected price in Nepal, and availability details.

Vivo X Fold 3 Series: Overview

Design and Display

On the design side of things, there’s not a lot of deviation but you’ll still be able to distinguish the two. The vanilla Vivo X Fold 3 features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor while the Pro model hides its ultra-sonic tech under the display.

Moreover, the Pro is also beefier at 236 grams and rated IPX8 against water splashes. As such, it misses out on the lightest (in-ward) foldable title held by its base sibling (Vivo X Fold 3) at just 219 grams. That’s less than the popular bar flagships like the iPhone 15 Pro Max (221 grams), and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (232 grams).

Don’t mistake the lightness for a lack of strength though as the X Fold 3 series is certified to withstand 500,000 folds with its lightweight carbon fiber hinge and also features the Swiss SGS five-star drop-resistant rating.

Talking of the display(s), both share identical setups. There’s a larger 8.03″ foldable OLED panel on the inside while the external one measures 6.53 inches. Both are 120Hz LTPO screens with a local peak brightness of 4,500 nits. Pixel-wise, you are getting sharp displays with pixel densities of ~412 and ~457 ppi on the outer and inner screens respectively. Besides that, you get all the goodies like HDR 10+ certification, Dolby Vision, and 1 billion colors.

Performance

Under the hood, the base Vivo X Fold 3 features last year’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor while the Pro variants ships with the latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Both are 4nm processors manufactured by TSMC but the latter features more powerful cores at higher clocks and a better GPU + NPU. As for the memory, you can configure both with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.

Camera

There’s a total of 5 cameras spread across the Vivo X Fold 3 foldable(s). The 50MP ultrawide and the 32MP selfie cameras (two) are shared between the models while the main and zoom lenses are buffed up in the Pro. The vanilla X Fold 3 features a 50MP 1/1.49” Sony sensor while its Pro sibling features a larger 1/1.3” OmniVision OV50H. The 50MP Sony portrait lens on the X Fold 3 is also replaced by a 64MP 3x persicope camera.

Battery and Extras

Fueling the 3rd gen Vivo foldables are 5,500 (base) and 5,700 (pro) mAh batteries with 80W and 100W fast charging support. The X Fold 3 pro also has wireless charging support for up to 50W. Both phones have dual stereo speakers with wireless-lossless Hi-Fi audio support. They also feature dual-sim 5G, WiFi 7, and NFC.
