0

Garmin, launched a new addition to their Tactix 7 series smartwatches with the Tactix 7 AMOLED Edition. Let’s discuss further the Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED Edition, including its specifications, features, price in Nepal, and more!

Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED Edition Overview

Design and Display

The entire lineup of Garmin Tactix 7 takes a very tactical and rugged design approach, and the AMOLED edition does not deviate from that either. This approach extends further into choices of material as well. The watch features extremely scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for lens material. Similarly, the watch bezels and rear cover are made out of Titanium, whereas the case material is a fibre-reinforced polymer. It measures 51 mm x 51 mm x 16.40 mm and weighs 96 grams.

Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED Edition Design

As the name suggests, this edition features an AMOLED screen instead of a MIP display. A MIP display prioritises power efficiency at the cost of vibrant colours. The screen is the main differentiating factor from the rest of the offerings. It is 1.4 inches in diameter with a resolution of 454 x 454 and has the AOD feature. The resolution of the AMLOED edition is almost double in comparison to the standard variant. The Garmin Tactix 7 offers 10 ATM water resistance and meets the US MIL-STD-810 military standard. It is available with a black silicone watch band by default.

Performance and features

The information on what’s under the hood is only limited to that the watch offers a 32 GB memory. But, on the other hand, the watch offers features straight out of James Bond movies. The niche features it offers are highly useful to military personnel and aviators. Some examples of these features are night vision capabilities, stealth mode, jumpmaster mode, navigation with access to the worldwide aeronautical database, and aviation weather access. Furthermore, you can even access apps like AB Synapse and features like Outdoor Maps+ from Garmin themselves. It provides you with aiming solutions for long-range shooting and premium mapping content respectively.

Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED Edition Features

The Tactix 7 also offers features like a built-in LED flashlight (white/green), 30+ built-in sports modes, daily workout suggestions, a real-time stamina manager, recovery time advisor, jet lag advisor, smart notifications, Garmin contactless payments, red shift mode, and so on. The watch is not limited to the features I’ve listed either. There are even more features for you to utilise and enjoy.

Battery and the rest

The Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED edition offers up to 31 days of battery backup on regular use. The number, however, drops to 11 days of usage with AOD turned on. It offers a minimum of 17 hours with continuous music playback plus all satellite systems turned on. On the other hand, it offers a maximum of 41 days of battery life with the “battery saver watch mode” turned on. It uses the Garmin proprietary plug charger as the charging method.

Furthermore, it also includes a Barometric altimeter, compass, gyroscope, accelerometer, thermometer, and ambient light sensor. It also offers connectivity via Bluetooth, ANT+, and WiFi.

Honor X40 GT receives a “Racing Edition” with a new design

0

Honor’s gaming phone from last year, the X40 GT, has received a “Racing Edition” in China. This Snapdragon 888-powered handset features the same 144Hz screen and 50MP triple camera array. And the only update here is in terms of the design. Here, we will look through the specifications, features, availability, and expected price of the Honor X40 GT and the racing edition in Nepal.

Honor X40 GT Overview:

Design, Display

The design of the X40 GT is strikingly similar to that of the Honor Magic 4 Lite. It has a big circular camera bump in the middle with “GT” branding plastered in the center. Honor offers the smartphone in three color options: Magic Night Black, Titanium Silver, and Racing Black. Similarly, the Racing Edition also comes in three colors: Racing Black, Racing Silver, and Fantasy Black.

While the Night Black and Titanium Silver have a minimal design, the Racing Black goes for an aggressive gamer look with its carbon fiber finish, racing stripe, and green accents. Similarly, it also features a unique comet-like pattern on the back.

Up front, the Honor X40 GT sports a 6.81-inch FHD+ IPS panel. While the screen is not AMOLED, the 144Hz refresh rate and 480Hz touch sampling rate are its saving grace. Unfortunately, the Racing Edition doesn’t bring any upgrade in the display department.

Performance

The phone packs a dated but still capable Snapdragon 888 chipset, based on a 5nm process. Released in 2020, it was Qualcomm’s flagship chip for that year. In terms of CPU, Cortex-X1 clocked at 2.84 GHz, three Cortex-A78 cores at 2.42 GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores at 1.80 GHz.

Honor has fitted the phone with a 13-layer cooling solution that it claims can reduce the X40 GT’s surface temperature by 1°C.

As for memory, the Honor X40 GT is available with up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. The software side of things is handled by Honor’s MagicUI 6.1 which is based on Android 12. The racing edition gets LPDDR5 12 GB RAM and comes in an extra 512GB UFS 3.1 storage option. On the software end, the Racing Edition receives the newer Magic UI 7.1 but stays on the same OS i.e. Android 12.

Cameras

Getting into the cameras, the Honor X40 GT comes with a triple rear camera system. Here, the primary 50MP sensor is supported by a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies and video calls, there is a single 16MP camera housed inside a hole-punch notch.

Rest of the specs

Honor X40 GT draws power from a 4800mAh battery with 66W fast charging. According to the company, it can fully charge in around 30 minutes. Surprisingly, it does not have dual speakers despite being a gaming phone. For security, it has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Honor X40 GT Specifications:

  • Display: 6.81″ FHD+, IPS LCD panel, 144Hz refresh rate, 480Hz touch sampling rate
  • SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G (5nm)
  • Rear Cameras: Triple (50MP primary + 2MP macro + 2MP depth)
  • Selfie: 16MP (hole-punch cutout)
  • Memory: Up to 12GB RAM, 256GB storage (Up to 512 GB in Racing Edition)
  • Battery: 4800mAh, 66W charging
  • OS: MagicUI 6.1 on Android 12 (MagicUI 7.1 on top of Android 12 in Racing Edition)
  • Biometrics: Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
