The Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro has been available for a little while now, and the company is just launching the base variant of the watch. The vanilla model is almost similar to the Pro variant, so what’s the difference? Let’s discuss the Xiaomi Watch 2 further in this article.
Xiaomi Watch 2 Overview
Design and Display
Firstly, the Xiaomi Watch 2 has a different design from the Pro variant. The base model has two buttons for navigation on the right while the Pro version featured a crown. Moreover, the Xiaomi Watch 2 comes in an aluminium build while boasting the same ATM 5 water resistance.
On the front, you get the same AMOLED panel that measures 1.43 inches in diameter. Additionally, the resolution on the screen measures 466 x 466 pixels. In terms of colour options, the Xiaomi Watch 2 is available in two flavours: Black, and Silver.
The chipset under the hood of this smartwatch is the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1. This suggests that it runs on Wear OS and comes with the same configuration of 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage.

Foldable phones are getting more impressive as time passes. Now Huawei has launched one such powerful clamshell phone — Pocket 2 with stacked hardware across the board. In this article, we will discuss the Huawei Pocket 2 in greater detail including its expected price in Nepal.
Huawei Pocket 2 Overview
Design and Displays
As mentioned earlier, the Huawei Pocket 2 is a clamshell foldable phone with IPX8 water resistance. This phone comes in four regular colour options: Tahitian grey, Rococo white, Taro purple, and Elegant black. The first two variants flaunt a pearl-inspired design with a glass back while the latter two come in a leather finish. Additionally, this foldable also has an Art Custom Edition named the “Blue Dream”. This version of the phone has Kunlun Glass 2 protection on the back. It also has lines drawn all across its back that appear to shift depending on the angle.
The primary screen on this phone measures 6.94 inches diagonally and boasts an FHD+ resolution spanning 2,690 x 1,136 pixels. This screen supports an adaptive refresh rate of 1–120 Hz, a touch sampling rate of 300 Hz, and a high-frequency PWM dimming of 1,440 Hz. Moreover, it is supported by a Xuanwu water drop hinge offering a gapless fold and a flat unfold.
Meanwhile, the external screen on the Huawei Pocket 2 measures 1.15 inches in diameter and sits below the camera module. This screen offers an adaptive refresh rate of 1–60 Hz and a touch sampling rate of 120 Hz. The resolution here spans 340 x 340 pixels and comes with added functionality like displaying QR codes for smart payments. Finally, both these screens are OLED panels with a colour depth of 1.07 billion and P3 wide colour gamut support.
Performance
The chipset powering the Huawei Pocket 2 is a mystery since the company has not listed it in its listing. While that may be true, sources are assuming the silicone to be the Kirin 9000S. It is Huawei’s in-house flagship chipset, however, it doesn’t hold much water against other processors in the market. There is a whole lot of fiasco that goes on with Huawei, its phones, chips, and all. Meanwhile, you can learn more about the Kirin 9000S in our dedicated article. While that’s there, it is an octa-core processor built on 7nm lithography and peaking at 2.62 GHz clock speed.
Other than that, it comes in two memory options 12GB for the regular ones and 16GB for Art Custom Edition. On the other hand, the Huawei Pocket 2 offers storage choices of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. It also allows you to add up to 512GB of external storage via the company’s proprietary NM card.
This phone for the first time comes with a mid-frame vapour chamber and a three-dimensional heat dissipation structure. Coupled with the 1,800 W/m·K high thermal conductivity graphene material this phone offers more stable and cooler performance. Lastly, on the software side of things, it runs of the HarmonyOS 4.0.
The Huawei Pocket 2 is a one-of-a-kind flip phone in terms of camera, as it packs four shooters on the back. The camera department is led by a 50-megapixel unit with OIS capability. Additionally, the second camera in this setup is a 12MP ultrawide lens. Thirdly, we get an 8MP telephoto camera offering 3X portrait shots along with optical image stabilisation.
Lastly, this phone also flaunts a 2-megapixel hyperspectral camera with ultraviolet intensity and sunspot detection capability. With this, you can perform fluorescent photography as well as use it to take a UV Sunscreen Test. In the meantime, the front camera is a 10.7MP ultrawide-angle camera with f/2.2 aperture.
In the tank, you have a 4,520 mAh silicon negative battery. This battery is probably similar to the 2nd Gen Silicon-Carbon Battery from Honor. The Huawei Pocket 2 supports 66W wired as well as 40W wireless fast and 7.5W reverse charging.
In terms of wireless connectivity, you get dual-band WiFi along with Bluetooth v5.2 with high-res audio codec support. Additionally, this phone is also capable of two-way Beidou satellite messaging where you can send messages via the Changlian app even when there is no terrestrial network. Lastly, the wired connection is handled by a sole USB 2.0 Type-C port.

Leica Goodies
Continuing the Xiaomi-Leica partnership, this camera-centric Xiaomi 14 Ultra gets all the Leica goodies such as Leica Authentic, Leica Vibrant modes, Leica exclusive filters, and so on.
Design and Display
In terms of build, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra goes for a flat frame body with slightly curved edges on the back. The regular editions come with an aluminum alloy middle frame with a glass or eco-leather back. Meanwhile, you can also opt for a Grade 5 Titanium frame edition for the extra sturdiness. As for the ingress protection, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is sorted with an IP68 dust and water resistance rating.
Xiaomi has opted for a curved 6.73-inch screen with 2K resolution (3200 x 1440) pixels with self-developed Longjing glass protection. This is not your usual curved display but lightly curved on all sides like on the Xiaomi 14 Pro. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR 10+, and 3000nits of peak brightness.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
Under the hood, this Xiaomi flagship is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. This 4nm fabbed SoC boasts a prime Cortex-X4 core clocking at 3.3GHz, five Cortex-A720 cores at 3.2GHz, and two A520 cores running at 2.3GHz frequency. Handling the graphics is the Adreno 750 GPU. And to keep the thermals in check, there is a 3X larger vapor chamber cooling.
In terms of memory and storage, you get three options for the Xiaomi 14 Ultra: 12/256GB, 16/512GB, and 16GB/1TB. Moreover, booting the smartphone is the new HyperOS built on top of Android 14.
Battery and Others
Fueling the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a 5,300mAh battery with 90W wired fast charging, 80W wireless, and 10W reverse wireless charging support. Even the battery gets G1 and P2 chips for protection. Talking of connectivity, the Titanium Special Edition gets two-way satellite communications. While all of the versions boast a T1 signal enhancement chip for improved WiFi, cellular, and Bluetooth connectivity.
In China, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s price begins at CNY 6,499 for the base 12/256GB trim. We expect the Xiaomi 14 Ultra price in Nepal to start at NPR 144,999 if and when it launches here.
Xiaomi announced their Pad 6S Pro 12.4, alongside the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in a launch event yesterday. The naming scheme might suggest that Xiaomi is going the Apple route and will be launching a smaller (likely 11-inch) Pad 6S in the near future. In this article, let’s take a peek at the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro including its features, specifications, price in Nepal, and availability details!
Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro Overview:
Design and Display
Xiaomi’s Pad 6S Pro features a uniform metal body design with a rectangular camera cutout on the top right and the company’s branding on the bottom alongside magnetic connection points. It weighs nearly 100 grams lighter than Apple’s 12.9-inch iPad Pro but is still somewhat hefty at 590 grams. The tablet is available in Black, Blue, and Green colorways.
On the display side, Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro features an expansive 12.4-inch LCD display. It’s a 144Hz panel of 3048×2932 res and a 3:2 aspect ratio and has all the bells and whistles like professional color calibration (to the CIE2015 curve), Gorilla Glass 5 protection, Dolby Vision support, and more.
Performance and Memory
Xiaomi has left no stone unturned in the performance department as well. Since the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is likely reserved for their Pad 7 Pro tablet, you get last year’s flagship Qualcomm SoC on the Pad 6S Pro. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 is a 4nm octa-core chipset led by a prime Cortex X3 core at 3.2 GHz and other Cortex-A cores.
Meanwhile, check out all the prices and specs of Xiaomi tablets here
Similarly, it is complemented by a whopping (up to) 16GB of RAM and (up to) a terabyte of storage. Other memory configurations for the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro (12.4) include 8GB and 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 256GB and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Another exciting part about the Pad 6S Pro is its battery life and charging speed. Under the hood, it is fueled by a massive 10,000 mAh battery that can be filled up in just 35 minutes via the 120W adapter in the box. Xiaomi has equipped the Pad 6S Pro with dual custom chips for monitoring fast charging (P2) and safeguarding battery health (G1). This should ensure the safety and longevity of the lithium cells, despite the ridiculously fast charging speed.
The tablet boots on Android 14-based HyperOS. The pins on the back can attach to Xiaomi’s magnetic keyboard folio, or more interestingly to their SUV7 EV and act as an infotainment system. Pad 6S Pro features dual cameras on the back (50MP main + 2MP depth) and a 32MP selfie camera
The Pad 6S Pro starts at CNY 3,299 for the base 8/256GB variants while the top of the line 16GB/1TB model can cost as much as CNY 4,499. Since the tablet just launched in China, global availability is out of the picture for at least a couple of months, if it makes it here, we expect the Xiaomi Pad 6S Pro price in Nepal to start around NPR 74,999.

iQOO has taken the curtains off from the most anticipated iQOO Neo 9 Pro in India. This premium midrange phone boasts the last-gen flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and 120W fast charging. In this article, let’s take a look at the iQOO Neo 9 Pro, its specs, features, expected price in Nepal, and availability.
iQOO Neo 9 Pro Overview:
Performance
The major highlight of the iQOO Neo 9 series is the performance. It is powered by the Snapdragon Gen 2 SoC under the hood. This 4nm fabbed chip features one Arm-Cortex X3 (@3.19GHz), two Arm-Cortex A715 (@2.8GHz), two Arm-Cortex A710 (@2.8GHz), and three Arm-Cortex A510 (@2.0GHz).

While the OnePlus 12 is the flagship phone from the company, its younger sibling–the 12R is no less amazing. With flagship-grade performance, great camera hardware, and long-lasting endurance, it’s for sure a great overall package for the price. And it’s the first time that an R series OnePlus phone is available globally (including Nepal). Plus, the preorder for this phone has already begun. So, in this article, let’s take a look at the OnePlus 12R price in Nepal, its specifications, and other features.
OnePlus 12R Overview:
Display and Design
The OnePlus 12R features a 6.78-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a “1.5K” resolution. Additionally, this curved display boasts LTPO 4.0 tech and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The phone’s design language, with a center-aligned camera island adheres to the current OnePlus style.
Performance and Memory
Under the hood, the OnePlus 12R is powered by the last gen’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 silicon. This TSMC’s 4nm fabbed chipset features 1x Cortex-X3 at 3.2GHz, 2x Cortex-A715 at 2.8GHz, 2x Cortex-A710 at 2.8GHz, and 3x Cortex-A510 at 2.0 GHz. Handling the graphics chore is the Adreno 740 GPU. To keep it all cool, you get the same dual VC setup (9,140 mm2) as in the regular OnePlus 12.
Memory-wise, we get to see up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. But the base 8/128GB variant features slower UFS 3.1 storage.
The phone boots on OxygenOS 14 based on Android 14 with some neat features and optimizations like the Trinity Engine.
Camera
The OnePlus 12R goes for the usual main + UW + macro setup without any kind of Hasselblad shenanigans. The primary camera is the same 50MP Sony IMX 890 sensor with OIS from the OnePlus 11R(review). It is accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide unit alongside a 2MP macro camera. In addition, OnePlus 12R sports a 16MP selfie camera on the front.
Additionally, the phone has a 5,500mAh battery, a 10% increase from last gen. It brings 100W fast charging which can take the phone from 1-100% in just 26 minutes. But while the OnePlus 12 brings wireless charging, we don’t see that in the 12R.
On the connectivity side, OnePlus 12R features Bluetooth 5.3, WiFi 7, and NFC.
The OnePlus 12R price in Nepal is NPR 90,999. This price is for the top-end 16GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. You can pre-book the phone (Feb 20 to March 1st) from our affiliate partner Hukut store and get the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 worth NPR 4,999 for free.
As we all know by now, OnePlus has become a flagship maker, killing its own “Flagship Killer” status. And, its new flagship for 2024 is here. The OnePlus 12 is now official in Nepal with the latest and most powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and Sony LYTIA camera. Without further ado, let’s get into the specifications and features of the OnePlus 12 in this article, along with its official price in Nepal.
OnePlus 12 Overview:
Cameras
As expected, the OnePlus 12 gets a 64MP 1/2.0″ periscope camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS. This is a notable improvement over the OnePlus 11, which only featured a traditional telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom.
The primary highlight here is the Sony LYT-808 sensor with a 50MP resolution and OIS, just like on the OnePlus Open. This Sony sensor features a dual-layer transistor technology that helps capture double the amount of light compared to conventional image sensors. Based on our testing of the OnePlus Open, we can expect the primary camera of the OnePlus 12 to be of top-notch quality.
