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.

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.

Amazfit unveils “Helio Ring”. A new player in the smart ring arena!

Amazfit has announced its latest entry into the world of smart wearables, introducing the Amazfit Helio Ring at CES 2024. In this article, let’s dive into discussing the latest Amazfit Helio Ring, its price in Nepal, specifications, and more.

Amazfit Helio Ring Overview

Titanium Build and Lightweight Design

Crafted from a ‘skin-friendly’ titanium alloy and weighing less than 4g, the Helio Ring focuses on comfort and functionality. Its sleek 2.6mm thickness and water resistance of up to 10 ATM ensure durability and usability up to 100 meters deep.

Health Tracking

The Amazfit Helio Ring offers detailed sleep tracking and athletic recovery stats, positioning itself as a potential contender against other leading smart trackers. With an array of features like heart rate monitoring, electrodermal activity tracking, blood oxygen measurement, and stress monitoring, it aims to provide comprehensive health insights throughout the day and night.

Companion App and AI Integration

Accompanying the Helio Ring is the Zepp Aura AI app, described as a ‘rest and wellness service.’ The app features an AI chatbot for health-related queries, adding an artificial intelligence element to the overall experience.

To access the AI chatbot, users are required to subscribe to the premium version of the Zepp Aura AI app, priced at $69.99 per year, which provides weekly and monthly fitness reports.

Amazfit Helio Ring: Activity and Recovery Coordination

The Helio Ring is designed to work seamlessly with Amazfit’s fitness trackers, offering a holistic view of physical activity and recovery. Whether it’s a 10-mile run or daily activities, the ring collaborates with the Zepp app to provide better recovery advice and personalized race predictions, akin to a miniature Garmin watch.

Sleep Enhancement with AI

For subscribers to the Zepp Aura AI service, the Helio Ring analyzes body reactions to ambient noises and sounds played through the companion app while users sleep. Adjusting the sounds based on the body’s responses aims to enhance the quality of sleep, providing a more restful experience.

Amazfit Helio Ring Price in Nepal and Availability

The Helio Ring is set to launch this spring in two sizes, 10 and 12, with plans for smaller sizes later in the year. While the pricing is yet to be announced, Amazfit’s reputation for affordable fitness trackers suggests a fairly inexpensive offering.
