Oppo launches A2 Pro with a sleek design and free battery replacement!

The Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer giant, Oppo, has launched an attractive new offering in their midrange segment — Oppo A2 Pro. Let’s take a look at the Oppo A2 Pro price in Nepal, its availability, features, specifications, and more in this article.

Oppo A2 Pro Overview:

Design and Display

The design is the standout feature here with a leather back finish on the ‘Desert Brown’ variant. Meanwhile, the hybrid materials finish on Vast Black and a-pinkish-purplish Twilight variants are visually appealing as well. On the back, the Oppo A2 Pro features a pronounced camera bump with “four camera cutouts” and an “Innovative AI Camera” written in the centre of the bump. Meanwhile, the company logo is featured on the lower half of the phone.

The hybrid materials version of the phone measures (162.66 x 74.28 x 7.99) mm and weighs 183 grams. On the other hand, the leather version of the phone has an added thickness of 8.04 mm and weighs 185 grams. This latest offering from Oppo is IP54-rated meaning that the phone is dust and splash resistant

On the display side of things, the Oppo A2 Pro has a beautiful curved display with centre centre-aligned hole punch cutout. Measuring 6.7 inches diagonally, the display is a 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED panel with 920 nits of peak brightness and a 240 Hz touch sampling rate. Other than that, the screen is capable of displaying 1.07 billion colours, 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut along with 2,160 Hz PWM dimming.

Performance

Under the hood, a 6 nm octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset is powering the phone. The phone ships with Android 13 with ColorOS 13.1 on top. It is available with either 8 or 12 gigs of LPDDR4x RAM. Similarly, we have two storage options: 256 GB or 512 GB. The available combinations are 8+256 GB, 12+256 GB, and 12 + 512 GB.

In terms of expandability, the Oppo A2 Pro is capable of a 12 GB virtual RAM extension. However, the phone does not have a MicroSD card slot, thus, the storage expansion option isn’t available.

Camera

The phone features a large centre-aligned camera bump. However, the “four camera cutouts” only feature two cameras. The primary camera is a 64-megapixel sensor with a maximum f/1.7 aperture. On the other hand, the secondary camera is a 2-megapixel depth sensor, helping out with your portrait shots. Among the remaining cutouts, one is reserved for LED flash, whereas the other seems to just be a dummy.

The rear camera features a six-element lens and auto-focus. Additionally, the rear camera is capable of 4K video recording at 30 frames per second. On the front, the Oppo A2 Pro offers an 8-megapixel camera. Given the reputation of Oppo, the phone probably offers a lot of options to fiddle with on the front camera.

Furthermore, the phone also features a power chip that monitors charging and prevents excessive heating and overcharging.

China rumored to ban iPhone, A win for Huawei?

Amidst the restriction of the U.S. over Huawei, China has reportedly pulled a UNO reverse card. Yes as per rumors, China is banning iPhones and foreign-made smartphones in government offices. With this, after the freshly launched Mate 60 lineup, Huawei seems to possibly capture the revenue that would have gone to iPhones this time. However, there is another side to the story; while iPhones will be at a disadvantage, Huawei is also not without its own challenges.

China’s iPhone Restriction Rumors:

Why ban iPhone usage in China?

The rumors of China’s decision to ban iPhones and other foreign-made smartphones have already caused a negative impact on Apple’s stock price, causing it to drop quickly. The early news from China claims security problems with Apple products, which made people worry more about their privacy and security.

The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Mao Ning, said the ban was because of “many media reports about security incidents concerning Apple phones,” which makes people think again about Apple’s privacy problems. More of a Deja Vu of the claims made by the US government on Huawei phones, right?

Who will be affected by this step?

Considering that China contributes around 20% of Apple’s annual iPhone revenue, it is certain that Apple will face revenue challenges if this decision gets implemented. However, they aren’t the only party facing issues. The Chinese government may also be impacted because Apple is a major employer in the country, with a significant portion of its production based there.

A decline in iPhone sales could lead to reduced production, potentially affecting jobs and employment. With iPhones seeing an immediate drop in sales, it adds pressure on Huawei as well, to step in and fill the economic and technological gap left by Apple.

Pressure on Huawei

Huawei’s flagship Mate 60 lineup may enjoy increased sales, but it also raises questions about the company. Due to U.S. restrictions on Huawei’s access to advanced computer chips, Chinese buyers might wonder if Huawei can meet the demand for powerful and optimized handsets like Apple, with its in-house manufactured phones and chipsets.

China’s restriction on iPhones, the key takeaway?

China’s iPhone restriction will impact Apple’s revenue and raise allegations about security compromises; the double trouble. Huawei may benefit initially but has to fill up the blank space created by the absence of Apple products. The situation creates a complex scenario for both companies.

In the latest news, China says it hasn’t issued any ban on Apple’s iPhone, which is kind of dramatic. Let’s see where this so-called tech war would impact the other players in the market.

Get Free Buds Z2 and Ultima Nova Smartwatch on OnePlus 10T purchase in Nepal

The OnePlus 10T made its debut back in August 2022. It features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip and a staggering 150W fast charging. And now, you can now get two freebies: OnePlus Buds Z2 and Ultima Nova smartwatch with this phone in Nepal exclusively via Hukut.com . In this article, we will go through the specs, features, availability, and official price in Nepal of the OnePlus 10T.

OnePlus 10T Overview:

Performance

The smartphone ships with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. This mobile silicon is built on TSMC’s 4nm process and brings significant gains over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in terms of performance, thermal efficiency, and battery life.

OnePlus has implemented its next-gen 3D Cooling System 2.0 on the 10T. It is the company’s first ultra-thin vapor cooling system and covers a surface area of 5,177.46 mm², 68% larger than the previous 10 Pro. According to OnePlus, this has resulted in 100% coverage of “all the thermal hotspots.”

OnePlus has also made a case for the phone dubbed the “Glacier Mat Case” which supposedly provides further passive cooling.

The phone has up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. For memory optimization, OnePlus has introduced a new “Always Alive” feature which is capable of keeping more than 31 apps alive at the same time all while avoiding lags.

OxygenOS 12

The phone boots on OxygenOS 12.1 based on Android 12. It is geared towards offering a smoother and more stable user experience with a refreshed “Aquamorphic Design”. It will feature new circular icons, widgets, and animation alongside an emphasis on two colors: Klein Blue and Warm Orange.

But as of now, the company has already pushed the Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 update for the phone. OnePlus has also partnered with Spotify to offer an exclusive AOD mode for convenient music playing.

Design and Display

OnePlus 10T’s design is similar to that of the OnePlus 10 Pro. It has the same unibody aesthetics with wraparound camera housing on the rear.

Then again, there are some minor alterations to the camera module, with the LED lens being located on the upper camera row. The device also lacks an alert slider. The phone is available in two colorways—Moonstone Black, and Jade Green.

The 10T flaunts a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate on the front. It’s a flagship-grade 10-bit panel with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

OnePlus’s GPA Frame Stabilizer claims to eliminate frame lags in order to favor a fluid gaming experience too. This experience is further enhanced by the 1000Hz instant touch response rate present on the OnePlus 10T.

Cameras

The OnePlus 10T houses a triple rear camera island on its rear. The main sensor here is a 50MP Sony IMX766 with OIS, followed by a secondary 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. OnePlus has skipped the Hasselblad optimization on this model. Similarly, you’ll find a 16MP lens for selfies.

Rest of the specs:

OnePlus 10T offers a 4800mAh battery fueled by 150W fast charging. Besides at least 4 years of maintained battery health, it also promises excellent battery performance in temperatures of up to -20°C.

Thunderbolt 5 announced with thundering data speed of up to 120 Gbps!

Intel has now announced Thunderbolt 5 after its initial preview back in October 2022. This newest interface triples the 40 Gbps bandwidth of Thunderbolt 4, all the way to 120Gbps. The new Thunderbolt also has doubled the PCIe lanes and has the ability to deliver up to 240 W of power.

Intel Thunderbolt 5 Overview:

Key features

Intel Thunderbolt 5 will provide speeds of up to 80 Gbps using two of its four PCIe lanes, in a standard configuration. This is still twice the speed of what Thunderbolt 4 offered. When required, Thunderbolt 5 utilises its three PCIe lanes to send data at speeds of up to 40 Gbps. Hence, achieving the ridiculous transfer speed of 120 Gbps. In the meantime, the Thunderbolt 5 uses its fourth lane to receive data at the speed of 40 Gbps.

Intel Thunderbolt 5 can run three 4K displays at a 144 Hz refresh rate at the same time. You can also power multiple 8K displays or run a single display with a 540 Hz refresh rate. Thunderbolt 5 will also allow you to charge your gaming laptops at 240W straight from the USB-C port instead of the dedicated charger.

Intel Thunderbolt 5 Availability

With the ridiculous capabilities of Thunderbolt 5, one would assume that we will be bidding farewell to Thunderbolt 4 very soon. But, Intel says otherwise. As of now, the Thunderbolt 5 is reserved for demanding activities such as content creation, and gaming.

Therefore, Thunderbolt 5 will only feature on Intel’s top-end offerings set to release next year. Meanwhile, regular folks will have to settle with the Thunderbolt 4 which is sufficient for the most part. Additionally, Intel’s 14th-generation processor does not integrate the new interface. Therefore, it requires a separate discrete chip codenamed “Barlow Ridge” for Thunderbolt 5 to function. So we can say that it will be a while before Thunderbolt 5 becomes the default.
