Vivo V27 Overview:

Design and Display

Being a design-centric brand, Vivo has unsurprisingly built the V27 with an attractive look. The phone also feels premium thanks to a glass sandwich body and a slim thickness profile of just 7.4mm. It is available in 2 colour options in Nepal: Magic Blue, and Emerald Green. Both these variants feature color-changing back panels.

Do note that the Nepali market is only getting two color options: Magic Blue and Noble Black.

Moreover, you can find a rectangular camera module at the back with a ring light LED flash. Coming to the front, Vivo V27 sports a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. This 3D curved display gets a Full HD+ resolution and supports 10-bit colors as well.

Camera

Moving to the optics, Vivo V27 features a triple camera setup like its Pro sibling. The main sensor here is a 50MP Sony IMX766V (with OIS), which is a 1/1.56-inch sensor. It is accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro unit.

The aforementioned ring light, called “Aura Light” helps with lowlight photography as well. It features light-sensitive bulbs with ambient light detection for better low-light portraits. Vivo V27 also features Night Video mode and OIS + EIS combo for steady videos. On the front, you get a 50MP AI selfie camera with autofocus. With this, Vivo promises HD-quality portraits too.

Performance

Under the hood, this smartphone packs a recently announced, Mediatek Dimensity 7200 5G chipset. This 4nm SoC houses two Cortex-A715 cores clocked at 2.8 GHz and six Cortex-A510 cores (@2.0 GHz) for power efficiency. For handling the graphics, there is a quad-core Arm Mali-G610 GPU on board. Vivo has also provided 4D Game Vibration and Game BOOST Mode for gamers.

The American audio equipment manufacturer, Bose has launched a new pair of headphones under the moniker “QueitComfort Ultra”. In this article, we will be discussing more about the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, their availability, price in Nepal, and so on.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Overview

Design

The QuietComfort Ultra is an over-ear headphone made with ‘luxe materials’ to provide you with “max comfort”. Bose claims that their headphone is “like a soft hug for your ears” and provides you with “a fit one can’t get from other headphones”. They also say that the product has an “elevated design” and it “makes a statement”.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Design

The product is made of plastic, aluminium, and leather (protein). The case is made from hard plastic while the ear cushions (removable) are made from protein leather. The bridge between the headrest and the headphone casing seems to feature aluminium. The headphones are adjustable too. They measure 19.56 cm x 13.97 cm x 5.08 cm and weigh 0.25 kg. They are available in Black and White Smoke colours.

Audio and features

The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones sport the Snapdragon Sound platform providing “lossless and low latency capabilities”. These headphones also support Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive audio codec. Bose says you can “experience what it means to get the most natural sounding music ever” with its Bose Immersive Audio. You also get spatial audio features along with “CustomTune” that analyses your ear and adapts the sound accordingly.

Moreover, these headphones provide “world-class” noise cancellation with ANC, echo reduction, and adjustable noise canceling. They call it the “Quiet Mode”, when your ANC is turned on and “Aware Mode” otherwise. QuietComfort Ultra headphones apparently have a built-in “revolutionary mic system” for clearer calls. They also have the “Bose Music App” companion app for added customisation.

Battery and Connectivity

We do not have the exact numbers on the battery capacity of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. However, the company promises 24 hours of battery life which you can get from 3 hours of charge time. You can charge the device using a USB Type-C port.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones Connectivity

On the connectivity side of things, these headphones come with Bluetooth v5.3 with A2DP Bluetooth audio streaming, HFP Bluetooth, AVRCP Bluetooth, and BLP. You can also use these headphones in wired mode with a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm audio cable that comes in the box.

HP announces Spectre Fold, a bleeding edge 3-in-1 PC!

1

The foldable phone market is booming these days. And it was only a matter of time before PC manufacturers tried to get a piece of the “foldable” pie as well. Brands like Lenovo and Asus have already tried their luck with such a device and now, HP has joined in on the fun as well. So let’s check out the new HP Spectre Fold, alongside its features, availability, expected price in Nepal, and so on.

HP Spectre Fold Overview:

Design and Display

Available in a single “Slate Blue” colour, the HP Spectre Fold’s design is a sight to behold. It measures 21.30 mm in thickness when folded or just 8.4 mm when unfolded. Furthermore, this device weighs 1.62 kg with the detachable keyboard and 1.36 kg on its own.

HP Spectre Fold Design

As for the display, it’s got a 17-inch foldable OLED touch panel with a 2.5K (1920 x 2560) resolution. This screen can hit 500 nits of HDR brightness (or 400 nits in SDR mode) and covers a 99.5% DCI-P3 colour gamut. Furthermore, it is IMAX Enhanced-certified too.

Usability and Features

As expected, the HP Spectre Fold can be used in multiple ways. Four, to be precise. Firstly, you can fully unfold the device and use it as an independent 17-inch tablet. Or pop the built-in kickstand, mount it horizontally on the table, and use it with its Bluetooth keyboard for a desktop-like experience.

Then fold it along its hinge and attach the magnetic keyboard on the bottom half to transform it into a laptop with a 12.3-inch screen. Lastly, slide down the keyboard a little bit and it’s a laptop with an extended screen, that you can use with the exclusive one-and-a-half screen mode. For additional functionality, you can also use the HP wireless charging MPP 2.0 Tilt Pen, which comes alongside the laptop.

HP Spectre Fold Usability

The HP Spectre Fold apparently comes with a handful of AI features too, that aren’t groundbreaking per se but are welcome nonetheless. These features include automatically turning off your screen when you walk away from the device. And also automatically turning it on when you return back.

Similarly, the screen automatically dims when you look away. It also alerts you and blurs the screen when someone else is behind you for better privacy. Finally, the Spectre Fold also has timely reminder features for extended screen exposures. It reminds you when you have been sitting too close to the screen or when you stare at it for too long.

Performance

Even though the main highlight of this PC is its usability and display, it doesn’t sleep on the performance side of things. The HP Spectre Fold is an Intel Evo-certified device, which should sum up many things we discuss in this part. Powering it is an Intel Core i7-1250U CPU, which is a 10 cores / 12 threads processor with up to 4.7 GHz for max turbo frequency. Whereas there’s no discrete graphics option for this guy and you’re gonna have to make do with the integrated Iris Xe GPU.

And even though this is a last-gen processor, it should be able to handle everyday usage just fine. Furthermore, the HP Spectre Fold comes with 16GB LPDDR5-5200 MHz RAM and 1TB of PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD storage. We have no information on the expandability side of things right now but it’s safe to assume that’s out of the question. Finally, this laptop ships with Windows 11 Home as the operating system.

Battery and More

HP Spectre Fold gets its juice from a 94.3Wh battery, and the company is promising up to 13 hours and 30 minutes of video playback in detachable mode and 45 minutes more in foldable mode.

As for ports, it only has two Thunderbolt 4 USB Type-C, which doubles down as a charging port as well. It fills up through a 100W USB Type-C power adapter. And thanks to the HP Fast Charge support, it can juice up the battery up to 50% in just 45 minutes. Given the limited number of ports in the device, HP is offering an HP ENVY USB-C Hub in the box for added connectivity options as well.

HP Spectre Fold Webcam

On the other hand, there’s WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support in terms of wireless connectivity. There’s an HP True Vision 5MP IR camera with a physical privacy shutter up top, which also supports features like auto frame, background blur, natural tone enhancer, and more.

It also has integrated dual-array digital microphones with temporal noise reduction and a mic mute key on the keyboard. As for audio, the Spectre Fold features quad speakers custom-tuned by Bang & Olufsen, and it supports HP Audio Boost and DTS:X Ultra too.

  • Dimensions:

HP Spectre Fold Price in Nepal and Availability

As for the price, the HP Spectre Fold obviously doesn’t come in cheap. HP has started taking its pre-orders for a whopping USD 4,999.99, with shipments slated to start from October. It’s extremely unlikely that this laptop officially arrives in Nepal but in case it does, we expect the HP Spectre Fold price in Nepal to be NPR 800,000.

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

2

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

Oppo A2 Pro Leather

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

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.

Oppo A2 Pro Performance

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.

Oppo A2 Pro design

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.

Features

These smart glasses offer various touch gesture controls through the temples. Huawei also says it supports Private Acoustic 2.0, but the company hasn’t shared much info about it. At this time, it seems as if the Eyewear 2 has received an upgrade only in its battery. So, we are assuming every other spec is the same as the first-gen Huawei Eyewear.

In the meantime, Huawei advertises 11 hours of music listening with their new smart glasses, compared to 6 hours in the last gen.
