Realme GT Neo 6 SE announced with 6000 nits of peak brightness!

Realme’s GT series always has something going for it, be it the price to performance, or super fast charging, or maybe something else. After shocking realme fans with its ‘world record brightness’ claim, the Chinese company has finally announced the smartphone. In this article, let’s take a look at the Realme GT Neo 6 SE, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Realme GT Neo 6 SE Overview

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.

Now, getting into design, the GT Neo 6 SE has a thickness of 8.65mm, 191 gm in weight and is IP65 rated. The phone is available in two striking colors: Liquid Silver Knight and Cangye Hacker. 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.

Performance

Just like we mentioned in our Realme GT Neo 6 series coverage, the SE sibling is getting the latest Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 SoC. 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.

Learn about the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 in detail here!

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

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.

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”.

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

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) 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.

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) 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.

A Harry Potter collaboration variant was also launched alongside the regular ones.

On the front, you are getting a flat screen stretching 6.67 inches with minimal bezels. Additionally, Redmi Turbo 3 offers a 1.5K resolution, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a peak brightness of 2,400 nits. You also get an in-display fingerprint sensor on the phone.

Performance

Moving on to the performance side of things, which is the highlighting and key differentiating factor of the Redmi Turbo 3. It was an open secret that it would ship with the latest Qualcomm semi-flagship processor. And that is, in fact, the case, it comes with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 under the helm, offering flagship-like performance and on-device AI capabilities.

Other performance hardware on this phone includes up to 16GB RAM. In the meantime, you also get up to a terabyte of storage. Furthermore, you get a heat dissipation system which Redmi says is the “strongest in the mid-range”. Lastly, it boots on the Xiaomi HyperOS right out of the box. This is a much-appreciated upgrade from the MIUI the Redmi Note series still shipped. The issues which we discussed in the “Software” section of the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ review.

The Redmi Turbo 3 has reduced the number of cameras down to two. The primary of which is a 50MP shooter coupled with a Sony LYT-600 sensor. Meanwhile, the auxiliary lens is an 8MP ultrawide camera. The downsizing of the camera was kind of expected given that it is a performance-driven phone. However, this reduction might not be significant thanks to the inclusion of the Sony sensor. On the front end, you get a 20MP selfie camera doubling down as the face scanner.

In the tank, the phone packs a 5,000 mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. Apart from that, Redmi Turbo 3 comes with a dual speaker setup, WiFi 7, Bluetooth, and NFC support. The wired connections are handled through a sole USB Type-C port.

In the meantime, these earbuds are equipped with Bluetooth v5.1 for wireless connectivity with your smartphone.

Asta Wolf launched the “Rolly” Earbuds and — IT’S FUNKY!

Asta Wolf is a Nepali OEM brand offering various accessories like smartwatches, earbuds, power banks, etc. Their product focus has always been design-heavy and attractive to look at. Recently they launched another wireless earbud, again with a very unique design! In this article, we will be looking into the Asta Wolf Rolly in greater detail including its price in Nepal.

Asta Wolf Rolly Overview

Design

As I mentioned earlier, the Asta Wolf Rolly has a very unique design. To be more specific, it’s funky! The company has leaned all in on this very aspect and is marketing the product accordingly. So, what’s going on here? Firstly, the charging case is hexagon in shape. Yes, very unorthodox! Additionally, it also has quite a bit of hollow space and you can see the majority of the earbuds even when it’s in the case. That’s not the end though.

To take your earbuds out, you have to literally ROLL the charging case within itself. So, Asta Wolf Rolly comes in a two-part mechanism casing where the actual charging unit is hinged to an outer housing. The housing is hexagon in shape while the charging case is circular. This unconventional design makes it a bit larger than your regular earbuds, however, it’s also undoubtedly cool. Talking of the actual earbuds, they look pretty standard with an in-ear design, a cylindrical stem with touch controls, and IPX4 water resistance.

For audio, you get a 13mm driver on both of these buds. In addition to that, the Asta Wolf Rolly comes with a quad-mic setup offering environmental noise cancellation during calls. Similarly, it comes with Bluetooth v5.3 for wireless connectivity with your smartphone. These earbuds also have a low latency of 60ms as per the company.

The Asta Wolf Rolly comes with a 30mAh battery on each one of its buds, while the charging case packs a 250 mAh cell. With this, you get up to 6 hours of independent, and over 20 hours of playback with the case. When you run out of juice, you can charge these earbuds in about two hours through the USB Type-C port.

Acer Nitro Gaming Laptop is now available in a 14″ compact form-factor

Alongside the Predator Helios Neo 14, Acer also unveiled a more accessible 14-inch gaming laptop in the form of the Nitro 14. In this article, let’s walk through what this compact gaming laptop has to offer in terms of specifications, Acer Nitro 14 (2024) price in Nepal, and availability scoops!

Acer Nitro 14 (2024) Overview

Design and Display

The 14” form factor while not the most ideal for gaming is still popular among folks who prefer a compact laptop for gaming on the go. Some popular choices include Asus’s Zephyrus G14, Razer Blade’s 14, and Acer’s own Triton 14. Now, two new fighters have entered the arena in the form of the Nitro and the new Helios Neo, the former being the most accessible among any 14” gaming laptop.

The Nitro 14 comes with a 14.5-inch IPS display with either a 1080p or a 1440p screen in a 16:10 aspect ratio. Both configurations cover 100% of the sRGB color gamut, have 120Hz fluid refresh rates, 9ms response times, and support NVIDIA’s Advanced Optimus.

Performance and Memory

Under the hood, you are getting the latest Ryzen 8040 Hawk Point processors inside the Nitro 14. The two choices include a Ryzen 5 with 6 Cores and an octa-core Ryzen 7 8845HS. This can be paired with either RTX 30 or 40-series GPUs including RTX 3050 (6GGB), RTX 4050 (6GB), and RTX 4060 (8GB).

On the memory end, you get up to 32GB of soldered RAM and up to a 1TB Gen 4 SSD. There are no extra M.2 slots either.

Battery and Connectivity

Just like the Helios Neo 14 and Nitro 16, you get a pretty big 76Wh battery on the Nitro 14. This is charged via a 230W AC adapter provided in the box. Connectivity-wise you get WiFi 6E, a USB 4 port, another Type-C port, two USB-As, HDMI 2.1, and a microSD card reader.

NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super Price in Nepal [Updated]

NVIDIA’s new Super series of RTX 40 cards includes the RTX 4070 Super, the RTX 4070 Ti Super, and the RTX 4080 Super. We have already talked about the latter two so in this article let’s take a quick look at the RTX 4070 Super, its specifications, upgrades, price in Nepal, and availability.

NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super Overview:

Super variants of NVIDIA graphics cards are basically GPUs with slightly improved performance and sometimes added features. The RTX 4070 is no different and sees a bit of a hardware upgrade. But thanks to RTX 40 series exclusive features like DLSS 3, and Frame Gen, it still might be a worthwhile upgrade from older RTX 70 cards.

Getting into the basic overview, the Nvidia RTX 4070 Super features 7168 CUDA cores, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs: all upgrades from the RTX 4070. The base and boost clock frequencies remain the same though, at 1.98GHz and 2.475 GHz respectively. Similar is the story with memory and memory bandwidth where you’ll be getting 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM with a 192-bit memory bus and a total bandwidth of around 504 GB/s. TGP gets a slight bump of 20W to 220W. So, overall speaking, you are getting more cores and computing units while the rest of the specs remain pretty similar to the non-Super card.

Performance Gains

With all that, NVIDIA says that the 4070 Super should be up to 15% faster than its vanilla variant. It is optimal for playing games at max settings at 1440p resolution with over 100 FPS.

As such, it might be a worthwhile upgrade for those with an RTX 3070 or RTX 2070 card. It seems to offer almost double the performance (or a lot more with Frame Gen) over the older cards in the graph NVIDIA presented.

The new NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super even outperforms the previous generation RTX 3090 using a fraction of the power at 220W. (RTX 3090 operates at 350W)

Besides gaming, the extra Tensor cores (from 184 to 224) should help with Machine Learning and AI applications, and streaming should be smooth sailing as well.
