Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (2022) Price in Nepal [Updated]

Lenovo first introduced the new IdeaPad Flex 5 series at the MWC (2022) alongside other 2-in-1 convertible and detachable laptops. It is finally available in Nepal. In this article, we will discuss the specs, features, latest price, and availability of the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (2022) in Nepal.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 (2022) Overview:

Design and Display

The 2022 iteration of the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 is available in two screen sizes. There is a 14-inch for people who value compact and a 16-inch for users that want that extra screen real estate. Irrespective of the display size, you get a WUXGA multi-touch IPS screen. It’s a glossy screen with 300 nits of brightness and 45% NTSC coverage. There are models with even higher resolution screens with up to 100% DCI-P3, but they are hard to find in a small market like Nepal’s.

You can use the IdeaPad Flex 5 as a traditional laptop and a tablet. The laptop also supports tent and stand mode, courtesy of the 360-degree hinge. It is compatible with Lenovo Digital Pen, but users must buy it separately since it is not part of the package.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 16” is mostly plastic, except for the cover, which uses adonized aluminum. It is 18.7mm thick and weighs around 2.1 kg. The 14” model is slightly thinner and lighter. It even has an all-plastic model that is even more portable.

Keyboard, Webcam, Audio

The 14” and 16” models of the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 differ in the keyboard department as well. Because of its size limitation, 14” doesn’t have a dedicated numeric keypad. Otherwise, both keyboards have white backlit and are accompanied by mylar touchpads. There is even a touch-style fingerprint scanner lying in isolation on the palm rest.

Above the keyboard lies the front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby Audio support. The top bezel is home to an FHD webcam with a dedicated privacy shutter.

Performance and Memory

The IdeaPad Flex 5 16” available in Nepal packs the power of the latest Intel Core i7-1255U processor. Based on Intel’s new hybrid architecture, it brings 2 performance, 8 efficiency cores, and a total of 12 threads. Likewise, it boasts a max clock speed of up to 3.5GHz and a 12MB cache. Lenovo even offers the laptop with 12th Core i3 and Core i5 mobile processors in the global market.

Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 series is available in 8GB and 16GB RAM variants. There is no prospect of future upgrades as the LPDDR4x sticks are soldered onto the motherboard. Likewise, the single storage slot can be fitted with up to 1TB SSD.

Battery and Connectivity

Talking about the battery, you get a 52.5Wh cell and a 65W adapter in all new Flex 5 models. However, the actual battery endurance varies based on the display size and model. For reference, the IdeaPad Flex 5 16” (2022) is rated for 11.5 hours of continuous local video streaming.

In contrast, the connectivity options are uniform across all models. Each laptop gets 1x Thunderbolt, 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, 1x HDMI, 1x combined audio jack, and an SD Card reader. There is no ethernet port, but you do get Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 for wireless networks.

So in this article, let’s talk a bit about the newly launched JBL Live Buds 3, its design, specifications, expected price in Nepal, and availability.

JBL Live Buds 3 Overview:

The JBL Live Buds 3 is a part of the new Live 3 series which includes similar TWS earbuds like the Beam 3 and the Flex 3. They offer a similar feature set with slightly different form factors while not deviating from the price.

Design and Display

The first thing you notice about JBL’s Live Buds 3 is of course– the display. It’s a 1.45-inch LED touch display that can show notification alerts, act as multimedia control, or even view texts and calls. Whether it’s a gimmick or super useful is for you to decide, but hey it’s there and it’s in your face.

Moving onto looks, while its Beam and Flex siblings adopt a stick design with either larger drivers or longer battery life, JBL Live Buds 3 features a bud-shaped form factor with an ergonomic fit. It’s a closed-type TWS earbud with silicon tips and a rectangular speaker unit. It also comes with an IP55 dust and splash resistance rating for those sweaty workouts or running sessions.

Sound and Battery Life

JBL Live Buds 3 is equipped with 10mm dynamic drivers with support for high-res audio via LDAC. It also supports JBL Spatial Sound for an immersive audio experience. The new Live Buds 3 also features True Adaptive Noise Cancellation, but the exact details of its strength haven’t been disclosed.

As for endurance, the buds should last you for about 10 hours without ANC. With the case, you can hope to get about 40 hours of playback. Moreover, they charge pretty fast as well where a quick 10 min plug will yield about 4 hours of audio.

Others

Some other cool features include wireless charging and a total of 6 microphones for clear audio pickup. Live Buds 3 also comes with Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio compatibility. You also get a ‘Multipoint Connection’ to pair up with multiple devices simultaneously and seamlessly switch between them.

JBL Live Buds 3 Specifications:

Weight: Unspecified
Driver: 10 mm dynamic driver
Frequency Response: Unspecified
Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio

Playback Time: 10 hours (earbuds), 40 hours (with charging case)

Swarovski Optik’s new AX Visio Binoculars can detect thousands of different species

The renowned optics manufacturer Swarovski Optik has unveiled the AX Visio, the world’s first pair of smart binoculars. Beyond the conventional scope of optics, this groundbreaking binocular integrates artificial intelligence to revolutionize animal observation, introducing a new dimension to wildlife enthusiasts and beginners alike.

AX Visio Overview

Smart Technology X Optics

The AX Visio has a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) dedicated to rapid and reliable image recognition. This groundbreaking feature allows users to identify a diverse range of animal species, catering not only to ornithologists but also to those fascinated by creatures like squirrels and many more. The ability to distinguish between bird species proves especially valuable for novices exploring the wonders of the natural world.

Technical Features

With 10x magnification and a 32-millimeter objective lens, the AX Visio ensures a comprehensive field of view, spanning 112 meters per 1000 meters. Furthermore, the built-in image recognition feature, powered by the NPU, is complemented by a camera sensor capable of capturing high-resolution photos at 4208 x 3120 pixels (13 MP). While videos are limited to Full HD resolution, it integrates seamlessly with a smartphone app for easy image management and uploading.

Connectivity and Live Observations

The Live View function allows users to share their wildlife observations in real-time, increasing the communal aspect of nature exploration. In addition, AX Visio’s smartphone app facilitates effortless image transfer and management, ensuring users can relive and share their experiences.

Practical Additions

Weighing just under 1100 grams, the AX Visio boasts a respectable battery life of up to 15 hours in normal operation, making it a reliable companion for extended outdoor activities. Additionally, the binoculars also feature a compass function that displays the tilt angle, adding an extra layer of functionality.

AX Visio: Pricing and Availability

The AX Visio is now available in the US for USD 4,799, but it is very unlikely that we will ever see a glimpse of it in Nepal any time soon.

POCO X6 goes official with Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 and 64MP OIS camera

The Redmi Note 13 Pro was unveiled in China a few months ago. And the POCO X6 is also official with borrowed specs from the device, such as the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2, 120Hz AMOLED panel, and more. In this article, let’s discuss the features, specifications, and expected price of the POCO X6 in Nepal.

POCO X6 Overview:

Design and Display

As I stated earlier, the Poxo X6 takes a lot of cues from the Redmi Note 13 Pro. So, on the design front, you get a similar look with a boxy frame factor and an identical camera module. On that front, you get a hole punch display with pretty minimal bezels.

Design

1 of 2

And on that topic, the display is pretty impressive for the price as well. You are getting a 6.67” 1.5K AMOLED display with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Moreover, interpolating from the specs of the Note 13 Pro, the X6 Pro boasts a 2160Hz touch sampling rate, 1800nits of peak brightness level, and 100% DCI-P3 color coverage. Even better is the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection.

Meanwhile, check out all the prices and specs of Poco products here

Performance

The POCO X6 does not cut corners on the performance front either. It equips Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset based on TSMC’s 4nm process technology. This SoC features 4 Cortex A78 cores at 2.4 GHz and 4 other Cortex A55 cores at 1.9 GHz alongside Adreno 710 graphics.

POCO has paired the chip with up to 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 512GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. While booting the phone is MIUI 14 skin built on top of Android 13. HyperOS update will arrive in the coming days.

Camera

Camera is the one department POCO has cut corners on. You still get a triple-camera setup. But the primary shooter here is a 64MP sensor with OIS as opposed to the 200MP one on the Note 13 Pro. The rest of the cameras are the same though, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro unit. On the front, there is a 16MP selfie cam housed in the hole-punch cutout.
