Fitbit Charge 6 with built in GPS and Google Wallet is here

Google’s Fitbit has launched its latest fitness band-the Fitbit Charge 6- with improved measurement accuracy, and Google apps integration among other features. So in this article, let’s get into the features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal of the Fitbit Charge 6 fitness band.

Fitbit Charge 6 Overview

Design and Build

On the design front, the Charge 6 marks the return of the physical side button which Fitbit omitted on the Charge 5. Other than that, and the new colors, there’s not much change here. 

Fitbit Charge 6 Design

The screen is a 1.04” AMOLED panel with AOD (Always On Display) capabilities. Like the previous Fitbit, the Charge 6 comes with a 5ATM water resistance rating for up to 50 meters of depth. The watch is available in Obsidian, Coral, and Porcelain color options with their complementary bands. 

Health and Fitness

Fitbit bands have always had reliable heart rate tracking and fitness features. But this time around, the company claims “ the most accurate heart rate tracking in any of (Fitbit’s) trackers”.

This is thanks to the advanced health sensors that, combined with a new machine learning algorithm, give you a super accurate heart rate reading. Heart rate tracking during vigorous activities — like HIIT workouts, spinning, and rowing — ‘is up to 60% more accurate’ than on the Charge 5. 

Fitbit Charge 6 Sports

Pair that with compatible gym equipment/app and you can see your heartbeat in real-time. Moreover, you can also take an electrocardiogram (ECG) with the ECG app. Additionally, you also get High or Low heart rating warnings during sessions.

Fitness

The new Fitbit Charge 6 now has over the double amount of sports modes available. The 40+ sports modes include options like HIIT, strength training, and snowboarding. Like other Charge Fitbits, the Charge 6 features built-in GPS so you can leave your smartphone at home and track distances via the band itself. 

Wellness Features

Other features on the Charge 6 include sleep tracking, stress tracking, Blood Oxygen saturation (SPO2), Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Breathing Rate, Daily Readiness Score, and more. You also get six months of Fitbit Premium. For those unfamiliar, Fitbit Premium is a subscription-based service offered by Fitbit that provides personalized insights, advanced sleep and stress insights, nutrition inspiration, and more to enhance your fitness journey.

Google App integration 

On the Charge 6, you get to see Pixel Watch-like features with built-in Google apps. Like Google Maps for tracking and navigation, and Google Wallet for transactions. Unfortunately Google Assistant and Play Store are still not available so it’s not going to be a Pixel Watch alternative per se but for a fitness band, it’s cool to see such integration. 

Fitbit Charge 6 Google Wallet

Oh, and thanks to the native YouTube Music integration, you can now start, stop, and skip over all your favorite songs right from the wrist. Also, a new quality-of-life feature on the band is Zoom+ Magnification which magnifies a part of the screen. 

Fitbit Charge 6 Specifications:

  • Display: 1.04-inch color OLED touchscreen
  • Display Resolution: 160 x 100 pixels
  • OS: Fitbit OS
  • Connectivity: NFC (for Fitbit Pay, Google Wallet)

Meta Quest 3 VR headset with double the graphics power than before

The next-generation virtual reality headset from Meta, Quest 3, is finally here. If we compare it with Quest 2, a notable upgrade is the higher resolution display. The enhancement in visuals with the implementation of the pancake lenses has made this product significantly powerful and worth the hype. So, let’s get into the specs, features, expected price, and availability of Meta Quest 3 in Nepal.

Meta Quest 3 Overview:

Design

The Quest 3 has a thinner and more comfortable form factor. It’s 40% slimmer than its predecessor, thus, making it easier to use. Coming to the display, it features a 4K+ Infinite LCD Display (2064×2208 pixels per eye), 25PPD, and 1218 PPI that is said to offer 30% more clarity than the previous model.

Meta Quest 3 design

Additionally, the lenses have been upgraded to the ‘pancake’ style providing users with a wider field of view—110 degrees horizontally and 96 degrees vertically. The device offers refresh rates of 90Hz, with an experimental 120Hz option for smoother experiences, all while maintaining a weight of 515 grams.

Performance

The new Quest 3 is powered by Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset. If we compare it with the old guy Quest 2, it offers more than double the GPU performance. This should result in smoother performance and wonderfully designed detailed graphics providing an amazing gaming experience. It is available in 8GB RAM and 2 configurations of storage; 128 GB and 512 GB.

Thanks to the Meta reality technology for this breakthrough. The headset intuitively recognizes and responds to items in the user’s physical space that go beyond standard mixed reality experiences. Users may interact with both virtual information and the actual environment at the same time because of high-fidelity color Passthrough, machine learning capabilities, and spatial awareness, offering unlimited possibilities for exploration and interaction.

Controller

The Touch Plus controllers also get an upgrade of their own. They now come with TruTouch haptics that debuted in the Touch Pro. Basically, it provides improved tactile feedback for a more realistic experience. Unlike the previous ones, the controllers are not equipped with monitoring rings, taking less space and being more natural to the user’s hand.

Meta Touch Plus Controllers

Out of the box, Quest 3 also supports hand tracking, allowing users to interact with virtual objects using only their hands. This VR headset sounds magical even while writing this article.

Compatibility and Battery

It’s worth mentioning that the Quest 3 is backward compatible with the Quest 2, which gives it access to the Oculus Quest Store‘s existing collection of over 500 games, apps, and experiences.

Likewise, it supports 18W charging, offering an average usage time of up to 2.2 hours, and features Wi-Fi 6E capability.

Meta Quest 3 Price in Nepal and Availability

The Quest 3 is set to launch on October 10th with a starting price of USD 499.99 for the base 128GB storage model and USD 649.99 for the 512GB model. We expect the Meta Quest 3 price in Nepal to be NPR 84,000 for the base variant and NPR 109,000 for the 512GB model, when it arrives here.

It’s got UWB technology, with which certain models of NIO cars automatically unlock whenever you approach it. Without the need for the car key.

You can also unlock your car with the phone’s NFC sensor even when it’s turned off. Furthermore, the NIO Phone can also function as a secondary screen and control for the car. Meanwhile, it also allows the car to function as a gaming station, calling device, and so on.

Similarly, the periscope telephone camera gets an IMX890 sensor, also with OIS capabilities. The front camera sits behind a hole-punch cutout in the centre, details of which have not been specified by the company.

This smart ring is rumored to include a unique blood pressure measurement feature and a turn wheel interface, setting it apart from other smart rings currently on the market. In this article, we will provide a detailed overview of the Muse Ring One, covering its features, availability, and the expected price in Nepal.

Muse Ring One Overview

Design and Display

The Muse Ring One will feature Grade 2 Titanium and Ceramic (Zirconia), which will probably make it lightweight. The upper layer will feature a coating and diamond polish, while the inner layer will utilize medical-grade epoxy.

Users will be able to use the Muse Ring One to keep track of things like how many steps they’ve taken, how many calories they’ve burned, their activity level (measured by the Strain Index), and even how fit they are with something called Vo2Max.

Additionally, the ring will also monitor health signs such as heart rate variability, SpO2, skin temperature, respiratory rate, and even blood pressure—a feature that can set it apart from other smart rings. The Muse Ring One will also analyze sleep patterns and provide a sleep score.
