The new Fairphone 5 promises up to 8 years of software updates

While many smartphone makers prioritize providing the latest specs and everything, they often overlook the issue of e-waste. The recently launched Fairphone 5, however, takes this into consideration. To the next level, might I add. The phone is reportedly made from 70% recycled materials, and interestingly, the packaging box can even be used to send back your old phone to the company for recycling. In this article, we will be discussing in detail the information about Fairphone 5, along with its features, specifications, availability, and expected price in Nepal.

Fairphone 5 Overview:

Design and Display

As aforementioned, the phone’s body is made with 70% recycled materials. It comes with 3 choices in color options: Matte Black, Sky Blue, and Transparent. Also, the phone offers IP55 dust and splash resistance. Additionally, it’s designed to withstand drops from a height of 1.8m/6ft.

Up front, the Fairphone 5 features a 6.46-inch 90Hz FHD+ OLED display, which is slightly larger than its predecessor (6.3-inch). This is also the Fairphone’s first smartphone with a high refresh rate, by the way. It reaches 880 nits of peak brightness and uses Gorilla Glass 5 for protection on top of an oleophobic coating. Besides some sizeable bezels on all four sides, the phone also uses a hole-punch cutout for the very first time in the lineup.

Performance and Memory

Powering the Fairphone 5 is a Qualcomm QCM6490 chip featuring a Kryo 670 CPU and Adreno 643 GPU. While this processor is mostly embedded and industrial applications, Fairphone says bringing it to smartphones can directly help in longer software support. On that note, the phone is slated to receive software updates until 2031, which is 8 years from now. It boots with Android 13 out of the box and is supposed to get 5 more OS updates too.

As for the raw performance itself, the QCM6490 is similar to the familiar Snapdragon 778G, which is a mid-range chip from back in 2021. Furthermore, it comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, expandable using a microSD slot that supports cards up to 2TB. The phone also supports dual SIM functionality, with one physical SIM slot and an additional eSIM option.

Camera

Moving on. Fairphone 5’s back has a dual camera system consisting of a 50MP Sony IMX800 main sensor (1/1.56″) with OIS and EIS. The secondary camera is a 50MP IMX858 ultra-wide sensor (1/2.51″) with autofocus, while there’s also a Time of Flight (ToF) sensor.

Fairphone 5 camera For selfies, the front has a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 sensor (1/2.76″) with EIS, which is capable of 4K video recording at 30fps.

Battery and Connectivity

The Fairphone 5 brings a 4,200mAh battery, an increase from its predecessor’s 3,905mAh. And it also supports 30W fast charging, which can get you 50% of the juice in just 20 minutes. The phone also offers an easy battery replacement in cases of necessity. However, there is no wireless charging option here.

Connectivity options on the Fairphone 5 consist of WiFi 6E (6GHz), Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC. Charging and data transfers are managed by the USB-C 3.0 port, although it doesn’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack. You do get a set of stereo speakers though.

Repairability

According to the company, the phone is easily repairable using only a Phillips 00-head screwdriver. Users can change Fairphone 5’s ten components without visiting a repair shop. Instead, they can purchase the replaceable modules from Fairphone and partners which include an OLED display, front and back cameras, USB ports, battery, and more. Also, the company has pledged 5 years of warranty for the Fairphone 5.

Fairphone 5 Specifications:

  • Display: 6.46-inch OLED, 880 nits of peak brightness, Gorilla Glass 5, 90Hz refresh rate
  • Resolution: 2,700 x 1,224 pixels, 20:9 aspect ratio
  • Rear Camera: Dual (with ToF sensor, LED flash)
    • Primary: 50MP Sony IMX800 sensor (1/1.56″) with OIS, EIS
    • Ultra-wide: 50MP IMX858 sensor (1/2.51″) with autofocus
  • Front Camera: 50MP Samsung JN1 sensor (1/2.76″) with EIS
  • Chipset: Qualcomm QCM6490 chipset (Kryo 670 CPU and Adreno 643 GPU)
  • Memory: 8GB RAM, 256GB storage (expandable up to 2TB)
  • IP Rating: IP55 dust and splash resistance
  • Battery: 4,200mAh battery with 30W fast charging (removable)
  • Audio: Stereo speakers
  • Connectivity: WiFi 6E (6GHz), Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, USB-C 3.0
  • Colors: Matte Black, Sky Blue, and Transparent

Fairphone 5 Price in Nepal and Availability

In Europe, you can already pre-order the Fairphone 5 for EUR 700 (around USD 760 / INR 62,750) for the sole 8/256GB configuration. And the company says it will start shipping the phone from September 14. While it’s extremely unlikely that this guy ever launches officially here, we expect the Fairphone 5 price in Nepal to be around NPR 110,000 if it does.

Lenovo Legion 9i announced with everything you could ever want for + water cooling…

Lenovo just unveiled their top-of-the-line Legion 9i gaming laptop alongside the Legion Go Handheld. This 16-inch monster is packed with the latest and greatest tech you could hope to buy today. Everything from the processors and memory to the display and battery is spaced out to give you the best possible gaming experience. And…it’s water-cooled too. Before I spill all the beans here, let’s take a detailed look at the features, specifications, availability, and expected price in Nepal of the Lenovo Legion 9i laptop. 

Lenovo Legion 9i Overview

Processor and Cooling 

Let’s start things off with performance. The Lenovo Legion 9i is powered by top-of-the-line Intel Core i9-13980HX and NVIDIA RTX 4090. The i9-13980HX is a 24 Core 32 Thread CPU with a turbo frequency of 5.6 GHz. The RTX 4090, on the other hand, is the most powerful laptop GPU there is with 9728 CUDA Cores and 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM.  Together this CPU/GPU combo generates a lot of heat. So, Lenovo has decided to try something different with the Legion 9i. 

Lenovo-Legion-9i

Lenovo Legion 9i features a self-contained liquid cooling system alongside the 3 fans inside the laptop. Theoretically, this setup should allow the Core i9 and 4090 to push their limits (Lenovo claims up to 230W) without any kind of thermal throttling or the laptop getting uncomfortably hot.

For memory, you can configure the machine with up to 64GB of DDR5 memory clocked at 5600MHz. 

Display and Build

Legion 9i boasts a 16-inch 165Hz mini-LED display. This is one stunning screen, with 100% DCI-P3 color coverage, crisp 3.2k (3200×2000) resolution, and a wider 16:10 aspect ratio. By the way, it also has a very fast 3ms GtG response time, can go up to 1200 nits in brightness, and comes with various certifications like DisplayHDR 1000 and TUV Rheinland.

Lenovo Legion 9i design

It is also very portable at 2.56 kgs, especially considering the power it’s packing. The Legion 9i is available in a single Carbon Black color option. But the top case looks cool with its unique forged carbon chip pattern. 

Battery and Connectivity

No compromises here either. Under the hood, the Legion 9i ships with a 99.99Wh Lithium Ion battery that can be filled to 70% in just 30 minutes. The laptop can either be charged with the provided 330W slim tip adapter or via its USB-C port (140W). 

Lenovo Legion 9i is also the first gaming laptop to ship with WiFi 7. The FHD webcam comes with an e-shutter and the fingerprint scanner is in the middle of the chassis. As for ports, you get 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port, 1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, an HDMI 2.1 port, an Ethernet port, an SD slot, and an audio jack.

Tested: Is Worldlink’s “PUBG Gamers Pack” actually any good?

Tested: Is Worldlink’s “PUBG Gamers Pack” actually any good?

The craze and popularity of PUBG Mobile in Nepal in recent years simply cannot be understated. One can even argue that it is what’s responsible for putting Nepal on the map of the global eSports scene. And to ensure gamers have the best experience, Worldlink recently came up with an aptly named “PUBG Gamers Pack” that supposedly delivers the lowest latency among other things. So naturally, we tested it out to help you understand if this is actually any good or not. Let me share what we’ve found.

PUBG Mobile: Then and now

Before looking into all the data, allow me to talk about the history of PUBG Mobile in Nepal. Released in 2018, the game still remains a sensation among the gaming crowd. And these days, being able to run PUBG Mobile smoothly is even one of the things many youngsters consider before buying a phone. Plus, many Nepali PUBG teams have achieved remarkable feats in global events.

But a few years ago, the ping situation for Nepali PUBG players used to be pretty bad. In case you didn’t know, “ping” in video games refers to the amount of time taken for data to travel from your device to a server and then back to your device. Usually measured in milliseconds (ms), the lower it is the better.

So since there were no dedicated CDN servers in Nepal, players had to cope with unstable ping at the South East Asian lobby. Even 100ms ping was considered a charm for those rank pushers. Things began to change for good when Worldink finally brought CDN servers in Nepal for PUBG in July 2021. After that, gamers were finally able to breathe an air of relief as they were now getting around 50ms ping on average.

What is Worldlink PUBG Gamers Pack?

And recently, Worldink has introduced the “PUBG Gamers Pack” which supposedly lowers the ping even further for smooth gameplay. As you can see from the table below, the company claims that it can deliver as low as 20, 25, and 35ms latency in “Arena”, “Classic”, and other game modes, respectively.

Worldlink PUBG Gamers Pack - Ping Claims
Image: Worldlink

As of now, the Worldlink PUBG Gamers Pack is available in two options: 250 Mbps and 300 Mbps. What’s interesting is that it costs the same as the regular residential internet packages. That means you’re not paying any extra to enjoy lower latency on PUBG Mobile and it’s just another value-added service. To provide you with a clear view, let’s have a look at the following table where we’ve listed VAT-exclusive prices of the two internet packages.

Package Speed Tariff (3 Months) Tariff (12 months)
Residential Package 250 Mbps Rs. 3,600 Rs. 13,800
300 Mbps Rs. 4,050 Rs. 15,600
PUBG Gamers Pack 250 Mbps Rs. 3,600 Rs. 13,800
300 Mbps Rs. 4,050 Rs. 15,600

So, what’s the actual point of pricing both packages exactly the same? Are those subscribed to the residential plan getting deprived of the supposed low latency while playing PUBG Mobile?

Fear not, I tested the ping on both plans by playing the game in Classic and Arena mode on the “Asia” server to see if upgrading to or buying the PUBG Gamers Pack makes sense. And just so you know, all our tests were conducted with the 300 Mbps plan although there’s no reason to believe the results would be any different under the 250 Mbps package.

Our experience

Okay, first off, I tried out the Arena Team Deathmatch (TDM) mode in the residential plan where — funnily enough — the lowest ping I got was around 20ms. This was not consistent throughout the gameplay (even when I was the only one using the WiFi) but some 32ms average ping is still pretty good. Moving to the Classic Battle Royale (BR) mode, the ping went up to 50ms on average which is still pretty decent. To note, this was tested with the official 5GHz router provided by Worldlink.

And then, I upgraded to the PUBG Gamers Pack. The upgrade process itself was pretty seamless but to my surprise, the game’s ping situation was actually quite similar. The TDM matches got me as low as 20ms ping with a 36ms average, while the Classic matches stayed at a 50ms average. So… I’m left wondering what’s the fuss behind a dedicated pack when you aren’t getting any notable improvements?

Contacting Worldlink officials

After finding little to no difference between the two internet plans, I tried contacting Worldlink officials to figure out what was going on. While I couldn’t get satisfactory answers from multiple customer care representatives, thankfully, a Worldlink marketing official provided the answers I was looking for.

As per him, this is currently the “Phase 1” test by Worldlink for PUBG Mobile. And during this period, the ping might not stay at around 20 – 25ms all the time. The technical aspect behind the curtain revolves around quick server re-routing in case of server issues, which seems to be not as refined for now. And he also assured me that Worldlink is directly working with the Tencent team to improve the PUBG Mobile experience in Nepal.

Worldlink PUBG Gamers Pack: Final thoughts

So, after all those tests and talks, I don’t think the PUBG Gamers Pack is worth it for now. If you are already using a residential Worldlink plan and the ping and latency performance are all good, you don’t need to switch things up anytime soon. At least Worldlink isn’t charging additional fees for this package, so that’s pretty good.

For other ISP users too, I would advise the same. But if you are too eager to try a gaming package and are thinking of moving to a different ISP, you might want to try Worldlink’s PUBG Gamers Pack.

But let me once again remind you that this is still in the trial phase. So, why hurry when you can wait for a stable phase? Because I believe ping in PUBG Mobile under this will get even better in the upcoming days. For now, if your current Worldlink internet package or ISP is doing fine, just sit back and enjoy the game. When this gets to a more competitive level, we’ll make sure to update this article with more details.

Oppo Watch 4 Pro official with Snapdragon W5 Gen 1, 60Hz LTPO AMOLED

Joining the lineup of the newly released Find N foldable, the Oppo Watch 4 Pro has made it market debut. One special feature is that it uses the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 with a co-processor. In this article, we’ll explore details about the Oppo Watch 4 Pro–its features, specifications, availability, and expected price in Nepal.

Oppo Watch 4 Pro Overview:

Display and Design

Oppo Watch 4 Pro incorporates a 1.91-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate. The watch has undergone a design shift, with Oppo going for a 316 stainless steel frame instead of aluminum alloy enhanced texture and strength. The base is still ceramic. The display resolution stands at 378 x 496 pixels with a density of around 327 PPI.

However, in the design aspect, it maintains the rectangular display design and the rotating crown button from its predecessor, the Watch 3 Pro. Additionally, the watch comes with a minimum of two straps – one made from rubber/fluoroelastomer and another crafted from leather. The watch weighs 52.3g and boasts 5ATM water resistance, making it suitable for various water activities.

Performance and Memory

The Oppo Watch 4 Pro features a dual-platform design, incorporating a high-performance 4nm Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 for tasks like calls. This same chipset powered the previous Oppo Watch 3 series, too. While no built-in co-processor exists on the vanilla W5, Oppo has included HES2700 alongside to optimize low-power mode.

The smartwatch runs on ColorOS Watch 3.0. Moreover, this all-smart flagship watch supports eSIM technology, and its memory capabilities include 2GB RAM with improved 4.2GB/s speeds and a storage of 32GB.

Battery and Charging

This new version will have a slightly larger battery and a better design than the previous one. The battery has a capacity of 570mAh and can run up to 5 days with normal use or around 2.5 days if used heavily. Additionally, there’s a light mode that extends the smartwatch’s battery life to a couple of weeks.

The watch supports fast charging; 10 minutes offers a full day’s usage, while 0-100% charging takes slightly over an hour.

Connectivity

It also features GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO, and QZSS for positioning, along with eSIM for 4G connectivity on the go and China-specific NFC functionality. Also, the watch comes with a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0.

Features

The watch comes with an advanced sensor that provides health reports after evaluation for just 60 seconds. It measures ECG, heart rate, blood vessel age, sleep, stress, and even real-time blood sugar levels, which is quite uncommon for smartwatches.

Budget friendly Anker Soundcore Flare Mini BT Speaker goes official in Nepal

Anker Nepal has followed their Flare and Flare+ budget speakers with the compact Soundcore Flare Mini. This mini version of the Bluetooth speaker is smaller in size yet doesn’t compromise on the features side. So, without further delay, let’s get into the price, features, and specifications of the Anker Flare Mini Bluetooth speaker.

Anker Soundcore Flare Mini Overview:

Design

The Flare series from Anker has mostly been the same as far as the design is concerned, and Flare Mini is no exception. The shape resembles a small bell, with a cylindrical body that widens towards the bottom.

The top panel has a total of six buttons for controls, while the bottom has the Soundcore logo followed by ambient LED lights. Further, these LEDS have eight distinct colors with five lighting modes. This is what the company calls “Audio Fireworks.”

Nevertheless, there are not many options for the ports. And that limited choice doesn’t include an AUX port, which shouldn’t be a problem as every smartphone manufacturer has been removing a 3.5mm headphone jack gradually. However, what you should worry about is the speaker getting damaged via water since the IPX7 rating covers all those risks.

  • Looking for the best portable Bluetooth speakers under Rs. 10,000? Do check it out.

Sound

One of the notable features of the Anker Soundcore Flare Mini is the 360° sound design. Additionally, two back-to-back neodymium drivers, each 5W, ensure the full range of surround sound experience. Also, the BassUp mode is turned on by default, though users can deactivate it using the controls.

Connectivity

In terms of connectivity, the Mini version of Flare ships with Bluetooth 4.2. The connection is wide and you can latch on to your phone for up to a distance of 20m (~66ft).

Sadly, one thing you cannot do is use the app to control Flare Mini. Despite its lack of app support, users can easily set up another Bluetooth speaker for Stereo Audio. All you have to do is press and hold the Bluetooth button at the top for 3 seconds, and voila! It looks for another speaker to pair with.

Battery

Power-wise, the Soundcore Flare Mini houses a high-efficiency Li-ion battery, which the company claims can power the speaker for approximately 12 hours of non-stop playback.

Anker Soundcore Flare Mini Specifications:

  • Drivers: Dual neodymium, 5W each
  • Audio Fireworks: 8 LEDs, 5 lighting modes
  • Rated Power: 10W
  • Water protection: IPX7 rated
  • Microphone: Yes
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 4.2, Up to 20m (~66 ft)
  • Additional Features: 360° sound, Stereo Audio, BassUp mode
  • Charger: Micro-USB
  • Battery Life: 12 hours

Anker Soundcore Flare Mini Price in Nepal and Availability

Now, Anker has released the Soundcore Flare Mini in Nepal at the price of NPR. 6,999. It is available through Anker’s own official website or our affiliate partner Hukut Store.
