Hey there! One after another, Xiaomi is also joining the foldable phone party with their on-the-way clamshell flip smartphone. They are ready to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra.
What to expect from Xiaomi’s first clamshell-style flip phone?
Their glossy and stylist Mix Fold 2 has already impressed us. Xiaomi is again set to bring us a flip phone experience to compete in the market. The official details are yet to be announced but we can expect the clamshell foldable to be thin and lightweight, as per the leak by Digital Chat Station. The rumored Xiaomi clamshell foldable will probably powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Chipset. The device will feature a FHD+ resolution and 120Hz high refresh rate. Besides, it may also support 50W wireless charging and may have a 5X periscope telephoto along with multi-angle hovering.
As per rumors, Xiaomi will launch its clamshell in 2024 probably as Mix Flip, following its name series of Mix Fold. The brand sometimes keeps some of its innovative devices exclusive to China. Let’s hope this time they’ll give us a global treat!
When it comes to foldables, Samsung is currently the market leader. After the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 4, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 are expected to launch in the coming months.
Just recently, Motorola launched its two new foldable smartphones called Motorola Razr 40 and Motorola Razr 40 Ultra. The Ultra model features a large main screen on the inside of 6.9 inches and a smaller outer screen of 3.6 inches. Oppo also came up with their Find N2 Flip with a big main screen of 6.8 inches and a smaller outer screen of 3.26 inches. Similarly, Vivo also joined the party with their Vivo X Flip with a big screen of 6.74 inches and a smaller outer screen of 3 inches.
One-Netbook has refreshed its flagship ONEXPLAYER 2 gaming handheld with AMD’s latest Ryzen 7 7840 APU. And they have done so in a spectacular fashion by collaborating with popular anime “Neon Genesis Evangelion” for a limited edition model. So let’s take a look at the design, performance, price, and availability of the ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro.
ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro Overview:
Display and Build
The ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro sports an impressive 8.4-inch screen with a sharp 2.5K resolution. This touchscreen covers 118% of the sRGB color gamut and it also supports stylus input with up to 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity.
Via MiniXPC
Likewise, its controllers are detachable and the handles have an “ergonomic curve radian” design for a comfortable grip. The buttons are arranged in the traditional configuration with your ABXY buttons and joystick on the right (alongside 3 other buttons) and your D-pad and another joystick on the left (and 2 extra buttons). The joysticks here are ALPS e-sports stick with 7.5mm height and an 18-degree inclination angle. The rest of the design is pretty similar to the regular ONEXPLAYER 2.
Performance
In terms of performance, ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro has AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840U APU inside. This is a pretty popular choice in modern handhelds and can be seen in the AYANEO 2S and Geek 1S as well. Even the Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip on the Asus ROG Ally is quite similar to the 7840U. This 8-core / 16-thread processor has a max boost clock of 5.1 GHz, while its integrated Radeon 780M GPU has 12 cores and up to 2.7 GHz frequency.
ONEXPLAYER 2 initially launched with AMD’s Ryzen 7 6800U, which the company later refreshed with an Intel Core i7-1360P for a 20% increase in CPU performance. However, this switch to Intel did result in compromised graphics performance. But with the Ryzen 7 7840U, the ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro brings great CPU and GPU performance, alongside increased power efficiency.
As for memory, it can be configured with up to 64GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 4TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD.

As for the ports, you get one Thunderbolt 4, one USB 3.1 Type-C, one micro SD card reader, one USB Type-A port, and one 3.5mm audio jack. There is also the Pogo PIN interface for connecting it to a keyboard.
ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro Price and Availability
Although One-Netbook has demoed ONEXPLAYER 2 Pro in China, there’s no word on pricing and availability yet. We’ll be sure to update this article once those details arrive.
Intel has announced new additions to its “Arc Pro” series of workstation graphics cards with the Arc Pro A60 and A60M GPUs. As the name implies, the A60M is a mobile design while the regular A60 is for workstation desktops. Let’s learn more.
Intel Arc Pro A60 and Arc Pro A60M Overview:
Compared to the older Arc Pro A40, A50, and A30M, these guys have a much wider memory bus width. This is possible thanks to twice the number of PCIe lanes on these cards (from 8 to 16). As a result, the A60M gets a 128-bit bus with 256GB/s bandwidth and 6GB of GDDR6 video memory, while Arc Pro A60 has a 192-bit memory bus with 384GB/s bandwidth and 12GB GDDR6 VRAM.
With built-in ray tracing hardware, graphics acceleration and machine learning capabilities, the Intel Arc Pro A60 GPU unites fluid viewports, the latest in visual technologies and rich content creation in a traditional single slot factor.
And roughly speaking, they are twice as faster as the Arc Pro A50. They also support up to 4 displays with HDR and Dolby Vision.
Other upgrades
Not only that, the Arc Pro A60 and A60M have twice the XMX engines (16) and twice the ray tracing units (256) too. These cards also offer full media encode and decode support, including AV1 codec. These enhancements make these GPUs ideal for computer-aided design and modeling (CAD/CAM), AI tasks, and media processing.
Intel is also promising 3 years of limited warranty, and quarterly driver updates for performance optimization for these cards. On top, they are also ISV (Independent Software Vendors)-certified for a bunch of applications including but not limited to:
Autodesk 3ds Max
Autodesk AutoCAD
Autodesk Fusion 360
Autodesk Inventor
Autodesk Maya
Bentley MicroStation
Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS
Nemetscheck VectorWorks
PTC Creo
Siemens NX
Siemens Solid Edge
What else?
Although the new Arc Pro graphics cards are designed for professional workstations, Intel Arc Pro A60 can also be used in home PCs for media consumption and content creation. And the company says it has optimized these GPUs for applications like Blender and to run rendering/raytracing libraries in Intel oneAPI Rendering Toolkit.
Intel also mentions compatibility with small form factor (SFF) PCs with 125W unlocked 13th Gen Intel Core processors. Like Intel’s NUC 13 family. Likewise, the Arc Pro A60M has 65-95W of TGP, compared to Arc Pro A60’s 130W.

The mobile variant, Arc Pro A60M GPU, will take a bit longer to reach the consumers and we can expect devices with this GPU in the upcoming months. But there’s no word on their pricing details yet.
Watch: Is it finally time to buy an Intel Arc laptop?
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning have emerged as popular topics of discussion. However, they are often used interchangeably and many have difficulties in differentiating between them. These terms are for sure interconnected, but, they have different focuses and methodologies. In this article, I will explain their meanings in Layman’s terms to provide a clearer understanding of each concept.
“Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, machine learning — whatever you’re doing if you don’t understand it — learn it. Because otherwise, you’re going to be a dinosaur within 3 years.”
– Mark Cuban, American entrepreneur, and television personality.
Artificial Intelligence
In simple terms, Artificial Intelligence is the capability of computer systems and machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. The main goal of AI is to develop self-reliant machines that can think like humans, act like humans, think rationally, and act rationally.
To develop a fully functioning AI program or a machine with Artificially intelligent abilities, various techniques, algorithms, and methodologies are utilized to enable them to perceive insights, acquire knowledge, make decisions, and engage in reasoning. Basically, the AI concept is about mimicking the thinking patterns(cognitive function) of humans.
Scopes of Artificial Intelligence
Virtual Assistants: Powers Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant
Autonomous Vehicles: For instance; Tesla, Google’s Waymo, and Audi e-tron
Computer Vision: Image and video recognition, object detection, and facial recognition.
Expert systems: In medical diagnosis, financial advisory systems, etc.
Robotics: Such as Sophia, NAO, Cozmo
Machine learning
Machine learning is a sub-part of artificial intelligence that focuses on using algorithms to teach machines to improve their performance by learning from data. Unlike traditional programming, where developers have to hand-code each task every time, machine learning enables machines to learn, make predictions, and make decisions autonomously based on patterns of data and previous mistakes.
One of the key aspects of machine learning is its ability to improve its performance over time. Initially, the algorithms are given large sets of data to look for patterns and trends. They learn from these patterns and gain knowledge. Then, they use this knowledge to make predictions and decisions when faced with new and unfamiliar data.
Predictive Analytics: Analyze historical data and make predictions about future outcomes of any domain
Financial Modeling: Stock market prediction, credit scoring, and risk assessment
Recommendation Systems: Suggest personalized products or content to users
Fraud Detection: Identify fraudulent activities in finance, cybersecurity
Natural Language Processing: For example, Google Translate and ChatGPT.
Deep learning
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks with multiple layers to understand and learn from complex patterns in data. It mimics the biological neural networks in the brain. Deep learning has greatly advanced artificial intelligence by allowing computers to learn and make sense of information in a more sophisticated way.
Artificial neural networks have unique capabilities that enabledeep learning models to solve tasks that machine learning models could never solve. The models can learn directly from raw data, making them more self-sufficient compared to traditional machine-learning approaches. Hence, it achieves its success by being able to handle vast amounts of data and take advantage of parallel computing capabilities.
Scopes of Deep Learning
Autonomous Vehicles: Interpret sensor data from cameras, LIDAR, and other sensors
Image and Speech Recognition: Identify objects, classify images, and perform tasks like facial recognition and object detection
Natural Language Processing: Understand and generate human language with high accuracy and fluency.
Generative Models: Generate new and practical content, such as images, music, and text.
Artificial Intelligence v/s Machine Learning v/s Deep Learning: Conclusion
Before machine learning and deep learning algorithms were even thought of, Artificially intelligent machines needed to be hand-coded to provide specific instructions for how they should respond to limited inputs.
AI, ML, and DL have made significant changes in our environment, revolutionizing industries and improving productivity. Although they come with potential threats, their beneficial aspects, such as increased efficiency and enhanced decision-making, cannot be overlooked.
Are you looking to build an e-commerce website for your brand but don’t know where to start? Then you should check out Blanxer, which is a new Nepali startup that lets you create an e-commerce site in a matter of minutes. And it’s honestly amazing what you can do within an hour right now. What’s even more impressive is that it even has a free tier offering so you can get started right away. Let’s learn more about Blanxer Nepal.
What is Blanxer?
As a business management platform, Blanxer lets users set up e-commerce stores without any coding. But it’s a bit different compared to Squarespace and WordPress since Blanxer is a store management platform as well. So it is a comprehensive e-commerce package as well as a website creator. And it can definitely help small businesses that have been relying on TikTok and Instagram manage their resources better, acquire sophisticated data for better decision-making, and ultimately grow their business.
How do you use Blanxer?
Okay, so let me give you a quick tour of Blanxer. To kick things off, head on to their website “blanxer.com”, and fill in all the necessary details including your name, phone number, store info, and more. Then after signing up via your Google account, you are immediately greeted with the dashboard.
Blanxer – dashboard
Here, you can create a new store by filling out the details like category, name, and address.
After that, you can customize your website by selecting the “Appearance Panel”. This is where you can change the theme of your website and customize branding.
Blanxer – store plugins
You can also choose to install plugins like Facebook Messenger to encourage quick communication with customers.
Payment system
Once you’ve finished building your website, it’s time to set up the payment options. In the free plan, you can only enable the “Cash on Delivery” option. Whereas a premium Blanxer subscription gets lets you integrate eSewa, FonePay, and Visa payment alternatives too.
You can even automate payments using “Blanxer Pay”, but the company charges a flat 3% fee on every transaction. So, for small businesses with not a lot of revenue, it might be a better idea to handle payments separately. But if your business generates a lot of sales, then it might be easier to automate that part as well.
Orders
Still and all, order management is where things get a little finicky as there’s no way to automate orders from sources other than your website. And you’re gonna have to manually create orders for every one of them.
So if anyone orders via the website, the seller receives an order and they can message the buyer to confirm the order. But say someone sends an order request via Instagram messages or something, the current alternative would be to send the website’s buy link for the product, which is not a great experience for the buyer. So we expect the Blanxer team to figure things out as they go.
As I mentioned in the beginning, Blanxer has a free tier subscription that you can try out. And in this, you can manage up to 15 products, while also accessing features like order and inventory management, basic website customization, and basic analytics.
Blanxer – pricing
But if that’s insufficient for your business, then you’re gonna have to get the “Premium” subscription. It costs NPR 1,167 per month under a quarterly billing plan, whereas if you opt for an annual subscription, you can enjoy a flat 25% off on your monthly bill. And a premium plan includes managing unlimited products, custom domain eligibility, website SEO, Blanxer Pay, bulk uploads, and access to all the plugins. Finally, they also have a “Platinum” plan for the big direct-to-customer (D2C) businesses.
Blanxer Nepal: Final Thoughts
All in all, Blanxer looks like an incredibly useful tool for small businesses in Nepal. With the recent growth of organic shops via TikTok and Instagram, it definitely has a big market here. In Nepal, most small online businesses operate manually and manage their orders via Google Sheets or Excel, which is not really ideal.
Likewise, although a lot of Nepal’s e-commerce stores get traffic, their lead-to-customer conversion rate is poor due to various factors. So with Blanxer, having a beautifully crafted website and access to analytical tools can help such businesses scale up much faster.
By offering a free plan, the Blanxer team is also allowing such businesses to try out their service first before committing to a paid premium plan. And we wish the company the best of luck in their future endeavors.

Meanwhile, check out our review of the Samsung Galaxy F54.
Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well! So for the past 30 days, I have been using the Google Pixel 7A as my daily driver and I am absolutely loving it. Talking of its availability, the device is unlikely to launch here officially just as the previous Pixel devices. Importing from India could have been a good option but MDMS will get you to pay an extra amount to make the device legal.
With the current MSRP of INR 44,000 in India or $500 in the US, the Pixel 7A simply doesn’t offer the best value. But the great thing about Pixel phones is they always get a lot cheaper after a month or two. Just look at last year’s Pixel 6A, which is now 34% cheaper than what it initially launched for. Similarly, the Pixel 7 originally went for INR 60,000 but is now available for INR 50,000.
So if we consider that price drop in the future, the Pixel 7A is an incredible midrange phone to buy! I think Google has compromised in the right areas to deliver a well-balanced phone here! Plus, with the recent updates, some of the issues such as overheating, battery drain, and camera stopping after a few minutes of recording – have all been fixed. And I think this is the right time for me to drop the Pixel 7A Review.
Pixel 7A Review: Specifications
Body: 152.4 x 71.12 x 10.16mm, 192.77 gm, IP67 rated
Battery: 4385mAh, with 18W wired and 18W wireless charging
Security: Fingerprint sensor (optical in-display)
Pixel 7A Review:
Design
Like always, let me start with the things that I really liked about the Pixel 7A. And its form factor is definitely on the top of my list. It’s currently the cheapest compact phone you can buy right now, and it feels incredibly comfortable to hold and use with one hand.
Design
1 of 2
Back
Front
The back here is similar to the more expensive Pixel 7 and 7 Pro while this camera layout is also much better looking than last year’s Pixel 6A for me.
To keep the cost down, Google has used plastic on the back, but it doesn’t feel cheap or anything. In fact, I initially thought it was glass! But since plastic tends to get scratched easily, which btw I have already got some, it’s better you case it up!
Other than that, you do get aluminum frames and a nice heft overall. It held up to Jerry Rig’s bend tests admirably well, it is IP67 dust and waterproof, and the metal buttons on the side have a nice tactile feedback to it as well. So the overall construction of the Pixel 7A is pretty darn good!
Display
Upfront, you get a good-quality display too. It’s a Full HD 90Hz OLED panel with very good touch response, nice haptics, and super accurate colors.
But having tested so many good midrange phones lately, I must say that the Pixel 7A’s display is simply not as good as the competition! At a similar price, you will get a much brighter display with thinner bezels and a more fluid 120Hz refresh rate from companies like OnePlus, Vivo, and even Samsung!
Display
That being said, I didn’t have any problem with this screen. Yes, the bezels could have been slimmer like the one on the Galaxy A54 and maybe the brightness could have been higher for better outdoor visibility, but for watching movies or just interacting with the phone, I have no complaints.
BTW, HDR playback also works well here when watching movies and series on Netflix and Amazon Prime. The speakers are fairly decent, but nothing extraordinary. But, I got to admire the location of this fingerprint sensor & it’s quite fast too!
What about the Performance
Ok, let’s now talk about the performance and this is the one aspect where Google has been facing a lot of criticism recently because of the Samsung-made Tensor chipset.
And the Pixel 7A is powered by the same Tensor G2 chip that we saw on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro. But since the 7A is a much cheaper device, I think we can go easy on the Tensor G2. So for the price, the 7A’s performance is really good!
It’s smooth and I never got a hint of any stutters. It performs much better than the Galaxy A54, that’s for sure. The Pixel experience here is also more polished coming in 2023, and the bugs are also nonexistent.
Gaming
Likewise, In my 1 month of testing, I also never faced any overheating issues during my regular usage and that’s coming from someone who’s on mobile data all the time. However, the Tensor G2 does heat up while gaming and it throttles the performance with a big dip in fps numbers.
For casual gamers like me, I was getting stable 60fps in games like PUBG and COD by lowering the graphics settings. You can also play high-fps-ready games like Mech Arena at 90fps, but unoptimized and heavy titles like Genshin Impact are only playable in medium settings.
And even so, the phone gets quite hot and toasty if you play these games for more than 30 minutes.So, for gamers, the Pixel 7A is of course a no-go! You should be looking at the OnePlus 11R or the Poco F5 instead. But what those phones don’t offer is a reliable and consistent camera!
Camera
With the Pixel 7A in my pocket, honestly, I didn’t miss my S23 Ultra like… 90% of the time because it was able to pull out great-looking photos; both during daytime as well as nighttime. As with all Pixel phones, you get accurate colors that are slightly on the vibrant side, but it still looks pleasing to the eyes.
Day and Night Shots

I also like the portraits & selfies. This time, compared to last year’s Pixel 6A, you get better skin tone, and the background blur is done nicely too. But I did miss the dedicated telephoto lens since its 2X portraits don’t maintain too many details.

You also get an improved ultra-wide angle lens with a wider field of view, which is pretty good considering its price. It’s much better than the one you get on the Galaxy A54 and the OnePlus 11R.
Ultrawide
1 of 3
The videography aspect is also okay, but this was one aspect where I missed my S23 Ultra since Pixel 7A’s stabilization is just not as good as a flagship phone. It also struggles to lock focus at times, but if you look at the positives, you can click 4K videos from all the 3 lenses and if you have a gimbal and good lights, you can get some good footage.
Battery and Charging
Likewise, there are a couple of things that could have been better in the Pixel 7A. First, I think the battery could be more optimized. It’s just average right now, giving me less than 5 hours of Screen On Time and I have to plug it in as early as 6 PM in the evening.
And the charging speed here is painfully slow too! You only get 18W charging support, which takes the phone to just 35% in half an hour, while a complete refill takes a full 2 hours!
Maybe Google could’ve bumped the charging speed to 30W here since its battery life as I said is pretty meh!
Pixel 7A Review: Conclusion
So overall, if you look at everything this phone has got, I think Google should have priced it more aggressively, rather than gradually decreasing the price. And yeah, you should definitely play a waiting game if you want to get the best value out of the Pixel 7A.
However, if you can’t wait, I still believe last year’s Pixel 6A is still a fantastic phone that offers a very similar experience to the 7A! That phone is available at as low as INR 27,000, which for me is a steal considering its cameras are almost as good as the 7A.

Apple has launched the 2023 iteration of the Mac Studio. The Cupertino-based tech giant also unveiled Macbook Air 15, Vision Pro, and more in its most anticipated WWDC event. The cube-shaped desktop CPU is offered in two flagship chip options: M2 Max and M2 Ultra. In this article, we’ll walk through the specs, features, and official price of Apple Mac Studio (2023) in Nepal.
Apple Mac Studio (2023) Overview:
Body and Design
In terms of design, Apple has not changed much here. The Max Studio (2023) arrives in the same cubical shape with a 3.7-inch height and measures 7.7-inch each side. Retaining the compact form factor, this desktop CPU takes quite a small space than traditional CPUs. The brand ships the Max Studio (2023) in the Silver color option only.
More Power with the M2 Max and M2 Ultra
The key USP of the Mac Studio is what’s under the hood. It gets two chip options— M2 Max and M2 Ultra. The M2 Max is a 12-core CPU with a 38-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine. It supports 400GB/s of unified memory bandwidth.
To compare, the Ultra version is twice as powerful with a 24-core CPU, 76-core GPU, and 32-core Neural Engine. It is basically the die of two M2 Max CPUs stacked together. This superfast silicon is 50% more powerful than the last-gen M1 Ultra thanks to 800GB/s of memory capacity.
Furthermore, as for the memory options, the M2 Max comes with 32GB unified memory which is expandable up to 64GB. On the other hand, the M2 Ultra goes with 64GB unified memory that is configurable up to 192GB. Meanwhile, the storage options for the Max and M2 Ultra begin with 512GB SSD and 1TB SDD respectively. And it goes all the way up to a whopping 8TB.
Moving on, the Mac Studio (2023) offers a similar set of port options as the 2022 version. You get four Thunderbolt ports (up to 40Gb/s) with DisplayPort, USB 4 (up to 40Gb/s), and USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s) support. Other than that, there are two USB-A ports (up to 5Gb/s), an HDMI port, a 10Gb Ethernet port, and a 3.5mm jack.
However, the USB-C ports are subject to differ on the front side as per the chip versions. The M2 Max variant gets two USB-C ports and an SDXC card slot (UHS-II). While the Ultra version houses two Thunderbolt 4 ports (up to 40Gb/s) and an SDXC card slot (UHS-II) on the front.
Apple Mac Studio (2023) Price in Nepal and Availability
The new Apple Studio (2023) is already available for pre-order in Nepal. The price starts at Rs. 330,000 for the M2 Max version with 32GB unified memory and 512GB SSD. There is also an M2 Ultra version with double the ram and storage that costs Rs. 655,000 in Nepal. You can pre-order the new M2 Max/M2 Ultra-powered Mac Studio from Hukut and other authorized stores in Nepal.
Do you remember the cheese grater design Mac Pro from 2019? Well, Apple has finally upgraded that guy after four years. The new Mac Pro (2023) arrives with a superpowerful M2 Ultra chip and support for up to 192GB RAM and 76-Core GPU. Without further ado, let’s get headed into the specs, features, and official price of the Apple Mac Pro 2023 with M2 Ultra chip in Nepal.
Apple Mac Pro (2023) Overview:
M2 Ultra Chip
Under the hood, the Mac Pro 2023 gets the horsepower of the just announced, M2 Ultra chip. This 5nm fabbed flagship CPU is designed for all those intensive tasks, thanks to its 24-core CPU architecture. Apple says it is 30% faster than the M1 Ultra. The M2 Ultra supports up to a 76-core GPU and 192GB RAM configuration.
The most powerful Apple silicon to date, this power-packed champ supports up to 8 multiple displays and 22 streams of 8K resolution videos. Not only that, you can get up to 800GB/s memory bandwidth for those speedy data transfers. To handle the heat from such tremendous power, Apple has implemented a quiet (as claimed) thermal solution through fans. Plus the cheese grater design of the frame allows more airflow.
Moreover, the Mac Pro 2023 supports up to 8TB SSD storage. For that, it houses seven PCle expansion slots in total. Six of the slots support Gen 4, while the remaining one supports Gen 3.
Design
Going by the looks, the Mac Pro (2023) borrows the same design language from its 2019 sibling. The front part retains the cheese grater frame with grills. Apple offers this desktop CPU in two form factors: Rack Design (Horizontal) and Tower Design (Vertical).
Talking of the port options here, you get 8x in-built Thunderbolt 4 ports, 3x USB-A ports, and 2x “higher-bandwidth” HDMI ports, supporting up to 8K 60Hz resolution and 4K at up to 240Hz frame rates.
