Lava launches the “Real Fastest Phone in the Segment” — O2

Lava is here with a “new” phone, which as per the company is the “Real Fastest Phone in the Segment”. Keeping the marketing statement aside, this phone is a mere repackaging of the Lava Yuva 3 Pro at a slightly cheaper price. Anyhoo, let’s get into further details of the Lava O2 including its expected price in Nepal.

Lava O2 Overview

Design and Display

As I mentioned earlier, the Lava O2 is the same phone as the Lava Yuva 3 Pro. These two phones are similar down to the teeth. This stands true even in the phone’s design and colours. That being said, it comes in a flat design with the camera island covering the top corner on the back. Meanwhile, the back of this phone features an AG glass layering. The Lava O2 ships in Imperial Green, Majestic Purple, and Royal Gold colour options.

Moving on to the front, you get a 6.5-inch screen with an LCD panel. The display comes in HD+ resolution while offering a 90Hz refresh rate. Other than that, it is also capable of displaying 16 million colours.

Performance

Under the helm of Lava O2 is the UNISOC T616. This processor is over three years old at this point. Despite that, the company boasts that it outdoes the likes of the MediaTek Helio G36 and even the G85 by a respectable margin. However, AnTuTu scores don’t paint the entire picture. This is why you still cannot expect the phone to give you a great performance. Just enough to get you by, under normal usage.

Additional hardware on this phone includes an 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM. This is on the lower end by 2024 standards, which is why you get expandability options on the Lava O2. This means that you can virtually double the RAM while the storage can be expanded up to 512GB with a MicroSD card. On the software front, the phone boots on Android 13 with no ads or bloatware.

Camera and the rest

The Lava O2 houses two cameras on the back, the primary of which is a 50MP sensor. Meanwhile, you also get a measly auxiliary unit that the company just labels “AI”. This suggests that this lens is nothing but a decor. On the other end, you get an 8MP shooter that also doubles down as a face scanner.

In the tank, this phone packs a 5,000 mAh battery while supporting 18W fast charging. It comes with dedicated slots for two SIM cards while offering 4G connectivity. Additionally, you also get dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0 support. The Lava O2 has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for further security. Lastly, it comes with the beloved 3.5mm headphone jack.

Dimensions: 165.00 mm x 76.10 mm x 8.70 mm

Apple’s 14″ MacBook Pro (2023) with M2 Pro/Max drops in price!

Following months of rumors, Apple announced the new MacBook Pro (2023) lineup back in January 2023. Offered in 14” and 16” variants, both of them are powered by the company’s M2 Pro and M2 Max chipsets. Alongside the 16″, the M2 14″ MacBook Pro has also arrived in Nepal. Here, we will go through the specs, features, availability, and official price of the Apple MacBook Pro 14 (2023) in Nepal.

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023) Overview:

New M2 Pro, M2 Max

To begin, the new 14-inch MacBook Pro is available with the latest M2 Pro and M2 Max processors. Both are built on second-generation 5nm process technology, which is said to offer incredible pro performance while also delivering industry-leading power efficiency.

Here, the M2 Pro chip has a 10- or 12-core CPU offering up to 20% more performance than the M1 Pro. Whereas, the GPU in M2 Pro can be configured with up to 19 cores—three more than the GPU in M1 Pro—which delivers 30% faster graphics speeds. According to Apple, the MacBook Pro with M2 Pro can process images in Adobe Photoshop up to 40% faster than the M1 Pro and up to 80% faster than the MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i9 processor.

The M2 Max chip, on the other hand, features a 12-core CPU that is 20% faster than the M1 Max Chip. And it has up to 38-core GPU delivering graphics performance gains of up to 30%. Apple says that with the M2 Max chip, the new MacBook Pro 14 (2023) is up to 6x faster than the fastest Intel-based MacBook Pro for some tasks.

The new silicons also offer updated memory configurations, with the M2 Pro having 16GB and 32GB options and the M2 Max having 32GB, 64GB, and 96GB options. To compare, previous models max out at 64GB with an M1 Max chip.

However, the memory bandwidth for the M2 Pro and M2 Max remains unchanged from their predecessors, at 200GB/s and 400GB/s, respectively. Likewise, you can choose up to 8TB of storage, with 512GB being the minimum.

Other connectivity options include three Thunderbolt 4 ports, one SDXC card slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Design, Display

Apple hasn’t made any significant design changes to the new model. That is, you get an aluminum body that is 8.71 inches thick and weighs around 1.6kg, which is nearly the same as its predecessor. There is no change in terms of the display either, with a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR screen and a resolution of 3024 x 1964 pixels.

The screen has a typical brightness of 1000 nits, which peaks at 1600 nits when watching HDR content. And, as expected, Apple has not missed out on the 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate. Other display features include the standard 1-billion-color, P3 color gamut, and True Tone support.

Others

Furthermore, you get a 1080p webcam for video calls on the MacBook Pro 14 (2023). And it comes with a set of high-fidelity six-speaker sound systems for audio. When it comes to the battery, it is powered by a 70Wh Li-Po battery that can last up to 18 hours of movie playback. The M2 Pro variant with a 10-core CPU comes with a 67W adapter for charging, while the rest of the configuration gets a 96W adapter.

Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 brings on-device AI to the Qualcomm 7 series chipset!

Words were going around that Qualcomm was working on two new chips for quite some time. The first one was the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which the company unveiled just a few days ago. Now they also released the other “SM7675” chipset with the market name — Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3! In this article, we will be discussing the recently launched Qualcomm mid-ranger in further detail.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 Overview

Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 is the successor to the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2, as the name suggests. The latest chip follows the same route of bringing flagship architecture to the midrange space. However, this time it takes things up a notch, which we will discuss in the…

Internals

Starting with the fact that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 comes in a similar architecture to the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 3! This chip features a cortex-X4 prime core, which is the third time we have seen this core in a Qualcomm chip. On top of that, this is the first time the core has been featured in a midrange processor.

To clarify more on the architecture of the chipset, it comes in TSMC’s 4nm fabrication process. Meanwhile, it has one prime core @2.80 GHz, four performance cores (Cortex-A720*) @2.60 GHz, and three efficiency cores (Cortex-A520*) @1.90 GHz.

Meanwhile, in terms of graphics, the latest 7 series processor might pack the Adreno 732, which reportedly clocks at 0.9 GHz. The naming of this GPU suggests that it will be slightly weaker than the one featured on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. However, we get to see Adreno Frame Motion Engine 2 on this chipset. As per the company, this feature allows you to double the frame rate of a game. Despite having a similar architecture it unsurprisingly does not feature ray-tracing.

Presenting: On-device Generative AI

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 comes with on-device generative AI capabilities. This is the first time we are seeing such a feature being introduced to the 7 series, and by extension in midrange chips. Moreover, it comes with support for a variety of leading LLMs and LVMs.

Hardware Support and the rest

The latest Qualcomm 7 series processor comes with similar hardware support to the Qualcomm 8s Gen 3. Meaning, it comes with support for up to 24GB LPDDR5x RAM with frequency of 4,200MHz. Meanwhile, you also get UFS 4.0 storage and USB 3.1 Gen 2 support. This chip can support on-device display of 4K @60Hz or QHD+ @144Hz.

Talking of the camera, it can work with up to 200MP sensors. However, you can enjoy only 30FPS with Zero Shutter Lag on lenses of up to 108MP resolution. It supports video recording of up to 4K @60fps.

The Qualcomm 7+ Gen 3 deviates from the latest semi-flagship in terms of modem, as it opts for the X63 5G modem. It, however, is WiFi 7-ready as well as Bluetooth v5.4 support. Similarly, this chip also comes with triple-frequency navigation support with GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, QZSS, and NavIC satellites. Lastly, it supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 5 technology offering you breakneck charging speeds.
