Realme commercializes 240W charging with the new GT 3

Realme recently announced the GT Neo 5 in China as the fastest-charging smartphone with ridiculous 240W charging support. The very same phone is now launched with the Realme GT 3 moniker for the global market. And that makes it the successor to the Realme GT 2 from last year. So let’s get into the specifications, features, availability, and expected price of the Realme GT 3 in Nepal.

Realme GT 3 Overview:

240W Charging

To begin with, the GT 3 enjoys 240W fast charging. Dubbed #SpeedtotheMax, it gets all of the advancements in charging technology that the brand has made for the GT Neo 5—from a custom 12A charging cable to a 240W dual GaN mini charger.

This new solution implements a three-way 100W charge pump parallel design for converting 20V/12A power to 10V/24A. Realme has paired the charger with a 4,600mAh battery with three individual battery cells. Also, the charger has a charging conversion efficiency of up to 98.5%.

Realme's 240W charging details

To ensure safety with such enormous power, the 240W brick has 13 real-time sensors. On top of that, the brand has used fireproof materials in the charging solution. TÜV Rheinland has also tested and approved the solution. As a result, the phone secures TÜV Rheinland Safe Fast-Charge System certification.

The GT3’s battery is termed to carry 80 percent of its maximum capacity even after 1,600 charge cycles. Unlike the Neo 5, the GT 3 doesn’t feature another 150W variant with a bigger 5000mAh battery for the global market.

Performance

The smartphone shares the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 5G chip as the GT Neo 5. This TSMC-made 4nm SoC still packs a punch in terms of power and performance. It features one Cortex-X2 core at 3.19GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores at 2.75GHz, and four Cortex-A510 at 1.80GHz.

Realme GT Neo 5 Cooling

Moreover, the company has used a massive graphene phase-change cooling material that occupies a 6,580 sq. mm area; 61.5% of which is used to cover the battery, ensuring that the phone remains cool while charging at 240W. As expected, it also helps to maintain consistency during intensive tasks like gaming.

Likewise, the smartphone ships with Realme UI 4.0 built on top of Android 13. This Realme’s custom skin introduces new icons, card layouts, and AOD (Always on Display) styles as visual changes. The brand has also implemented Dynamic Computing Engine for improved performance and balance.

Design and Display

As a semi-flagship phone, the GT 3 boasts a glass sandwich design. The brand hasn’t specified if the device is treated with any kind of protection. But one of the notable things about the Realme GT 3 is its RGB LED rectangle on the rear side.

This “Pulse Interface” (as Realme calls it) acts as a notification light and is customizable for various apps. When using a 10-second countdown in the camera, the light will alternate between blue, white, and orange. Realme says you can customize the light with over 25 colors, two rhythm types, and five light speed modes.

Realme GT 3 Pulse Interface

The brand has effectively used this interface for charging too. The indicator turns red for 80 seconds (considering the battery status null), then pulses purple for about 7 minutes, after which it turns steady green as the battery is fully charged. The phone is available in three colors– White, Black, and Purple.

Furthermore, the GT 3 features a 6.74-inch 10-bit AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The display has a 1.5K resolution, a 7-stage adaptive refresh rate support, and is HDR10+ certified too. Other features include a 1500Hz touch sampling rate and 100% DCIP color gamut support.

Camera

As for the optics, Realme GT 3 sports a triple camera setup. Leading the pack is a 50MP 1/1.56″ Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS and an f/1.9 lens aperture. It’s followed by an f/2.2 8MP ultrawide lens with 112˚ FOV for those wider imageries and a 2MP macro unit. On the front, the punch-hole display houses a 16MP Samsung sensor for selfies and video calls.

Realme GT 3 Specifications:

  • Display: 6.7-inches AMOLED panel, 144Hz refresh rate, 1500Hz Touch Sampling, HDR 10+
  • Resolution: 1.5K (2772 x 1240 pixels)
  • Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4nm TSMC)
  • Memory: Up to 16GB RAM, Up to 1TB Storage

    – 2MP macro lens (4cm focus)
  • Front Camera: 16MP sensor (punch-hole cutout)
  • Battery: 4,600mAh
  • Charging: 240W Fast Charging

Realme GT 3 Price in Nepal and Availability

The GT 3 is priced at USD 649 for the 8/128GB variant. The brand has not yet revealed pricing for the other variants. If and when it launches here, we can expect the price of the Realme GT 3 in Nepal to commence from NPR 102,999.

Realme 10 Review: A Good Ol’ Budget Phone

The biggest gripe that I had with last year’s Realme 9 was its performance. I was really fond of the phone for its aesthetics, display, camera, and even battery life. Thus, when Realme started teasing this whole terminator thing I was really excited that they finally listened. But I had my skepticism too. It was already hard to find a perfect budget smartphone and in 2023 brands are looking for more ways to bring the cost down to fight the growing inflation. Fortunately for you, I have been using the Realme 10 for over a month now and I will guide you through all the ins and outs of the phone in this detailed review.

But before we begin the review, let’s quickly look at the official specifications of Realme 10.

Realme 10 Specifications:

  • Body: 73.3 x 159.9 x 7.95mm, 178gm, Plastic back/frames
  • Display: 6.4-inch Super AMOLED, 90Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch sampling rate, 1000 nits peak brightness

Realme 10 Review:

Performance

  • Octa-core MediaTek Helio G99 4G SoC (6nm)
  • 6/8GB RAM, 128/256GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable)

Let me begin with the performance—after all, it is the one aspect Realme has improved massively coming from the last gen. While we could not emulate the claimed 290,000 Antutu score and the resulting 40% performance improvement, we did get pretty close though.

Realme 9 (Snapdragon 680) Realme 10 (Claimed) Realme 10 (Tested)
Antutu V9 278,000 390,000 382,0000
Performance Gain N/A ~40% ~37%

When it comes to gaming, this generation-to-generation improvement is quite noticeable. In PUBG: Mobile, for example, even with Smooth graphics, Relame 9 was limited to 30fps. However, the Realme 10 now supports 40fps at Balanced graphics.

It also supports 60fps gameplay on Call of Duty Mobile—in multiplayer mode, that is. Sadly, I could not test the 60fps on Wild Rifit claim by Realme since the game is still in early access. But I did play the Mech Arena which was giving me around 80 fps on average with graphics set to high.

Relame 10 Gaming

Moving on to higher-end games like Genshin Impact, the phone struggles even at the lowest graphics setting, resulting in frequent jitters and lags. But this is to be expected of a budget phone after all.

Software

  • Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12
  • TÜV SÜD 36-Month Fluency Rating

The raw power of the MediaTek Helio G99 is well complemented by Realme’s software. The only two complaints I have here are the older Android 12 and the pre-installed bloatware— which are again common traits that we find in budget phones like this. That aside, from social media to gaming, Realme 10 handles everything you throw at it.

You can even low-key multi-task on this phone — just don’t expect to glide smoothly through 18 different apps as implied by the company. I actually tried it but a few of the apps out of the 10 that I tested required refreshing. And this was with 8GB of extended RAM enabled.

Realme 10 Bloatware

Realme also promises TUV SUD-certified 36-month fluency experience. Although I have not noticed any lags and stutters in my month’s usage, you should take it with a grain of salt like the multitasking claim.

Navigating through the system UI and apps is fluid thanks to the 90Hz refresh rate. The phone even dials back to 60Hz while displaying video content which makes the auto-select mode kind of redundant.

Design and Display

  • 73.3 x 159.9 x 7.95mm, 178gm
  • Plastic back/frames
  • 6.4-inch FHD sAMOLED
  • 90Hz/360Hz refresh/touch sampling rate

Moving on the display hardware is pretty much the same as the one I praised last year. You get a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel with vibrant colors, deep contrast, and wide viewing angles. There is even Wideview L1 certification so binge-watching your favorite show on Netflix won’t be a problem.

Realme 10 has a down-firing speaker that can get very loud with the new 200% Ultra volume mode. But loudness can not compensate for the stereo effect of the dual speaker. So, I recommend getting a good pair of earbuds for the best audio experience.

There is even a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom next to the speaker and charging port if you like going old school. The top has the secondary mic and nothing else and the volume rockers and power button are on the right. The latter also doubles as a fingerprint scanner and it’s both fast and accurate.

As expected of a budget phone, Realme 10 sports an all-plastic build. The frames are flat and offer a secure grip. Overall the design is quite handy and you will not have a problem carrying it around in your pocket. This Clash White variant is eye candy too. I really like this glittery finish and as you can see the shiny effect shifts with the direct sunlight.

Cameras

  • Dual camera setup at the back
  • (50MP main, 2MP depth)
  • 16MP selfie camera (hole-punch cutout)

There is no dedicated camera island this year and the two sensors stick directly out of the rear panel. Realme has gotten rid of the ultrawide camera as a cost-cutting measure and we are left with a gimmicky 2MP depth sensor accompanying the primary camera.

Even the 50MP primary camera is a massive change from last year’s 108MP shooter. Since the sensor size is reduced, Realme 10 resorts to artificial sharpening to make photos look detailed.

Primary Images

There are times the phone goes overboard with it and you get over-processed photos like this.

But you can get decent images under proper lighting conditions.

I personally like the close-up shots that I took with this phone.

Lowlight Images

Realme 10 suffers significantly under low light. Normal nighttime images are blurry and full of noise. Switching to the dedicated night mode fixes these issues to an extent but the details are still lacking.

Portraits

The portraits are pleasant to the eyes though you can notice imperfect edge detection on some.

Selfies

I would say similar things about selfies from the 16MP front camera. The facial tone looks a bit washed but the overall output looks okay-ish.

Videography

As for videos, you can record up to 1080p 60fps videos with the Realme 10. But since it lacks any kind of stabilization the output is unremarkable.

Battery and Charging

  • 5,000mAh battery, 33W SuperVOOC charging
  • 0-100% in 75 minutes

Finally, let’s talk about battery life. Realme 10 packs a 5,000mAh battery that can easily get through a day. If you aren’t an avid user you can even extend it to 2 days. Likewise, it supports 33W fast charging and the included SuperVOOC charger can take the phone from 0 to 100% in just 75 minutes.

Realme 10 Hands On

Realme 10 Review: Conclusion

Summarize the following: So, if you are looking for a reliable smartphone under Rs. 30,000, Realme 10 can be a good option. Realme has created a good-looking phone which doesn’t compromise on battery and performance. The 90Hz sAMOLED is also among the best in the segment. It does have its shortcoming, say the camera, mono speaker, and older software but it is hard to find a perfect phone at this price anyway

Redmi’s new 300W charging tech can fill up a phone in 5 minutes

The fast-charging game has gotten pretty ridiculous these days. Realme recently commercialized 240W fast charging with the GT Neo 5. And while that is certainly fast, it is not the end. Taking the game even further, Redmi is now making headlines with its 300W fast charging. In this article, let’s talk about the upcoming Redmi 300W fast charging tech.

Redmi 300W Fast Charging:

Redmi’s Weibo handle in China first shared the detail of the 300W fast charging technology. For achieving this feat, Redmi has modified the internals of the battery and charging structure. And the testing was performed on a modified version of the Redmi Note 12 Discovery Edition smartphone.

This phone already supports 210W fast charging with a dual-cell 4300mAh battery. But for 300W support, Redmi has changed the battery size to 4100mAh. In another Weibo post, the company also published a video showcasing the jaw-dropping charging test.

As seen in the video, the double GaN 300W charger took the battery level from 0 to 50% in just 2 minutes, filling up the 4100mAh battery to 100% in just 5 minutes. The power meter indicated a peak input of 290W for a few seconds, but it managed to sustain 280W and above for around two minutes at one point. The adapter also has “more than 50 safety protections” but still retains a small size, says Redmi.

Redmi 300W Charging: Availability

Currently, the 300W fast charging has just undergone some tests. And Redmi hasn’t revealed the launch date for the 300W fast charging yet. It could take some time for commercial availability. Realme’s 240W fast charging was unveiled in MWC 2022 and it became commercially available with Realme GT Neo 5 in 2023. We’ll update the article with more info as and when it becomes available.

Honor Magic 5 official with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, 54MP triple cameras

Honor recently unveiled its flagship Magic 5 series at MWC 2023 on February 27. The lineup includes Magic 5 Pro and Magic 5. We’ve covered the Pro variant in a separate story. Whereas, in this article, we will take a closer look at the full specs, features, availability, and expected price of the Honor Magic 5 in Nepal.

Honor Magic 5 Overview:

Design and Display

The Magic 5 resembles its Pro sibling in many ways. And that starts with the design itself. Here you get the same “Eye of Muse” camera design inspired by black-hole while it also retains the Black color option. Honor has replaced the Meadow Green shade of the 5 Pro with Glacier Blue on the vanilla 5.

On the front is a curved AMOLED screen measuring 6.73 inches. This display refreshes at 120Hz, has 1600 nits of peak brightness, and supports HDR 10+. It also has 2160Hz PWM Dimming support to combat screen flickering.Honor Magic 5 Design and Display-1

Along with the Magic 5 Pro, it is one of the first smartphones to receive TÜV Rheinland Circadian Friendly Certification. For this Honor has used a feature called Ciradian Night Display, which adjusts the color temperature of the display to match melatonin secretion in the human body.

For starters, melatonin is a hormone that influences when you sleep and when you wake up. Thus, Honor’s new Circadian feature is said to have less of an impact on your night’s sleep.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

Powering the smartphone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. It is a flagship octa-core processor with one Arm-Cortex X3 (@3.19GHz), two Arm-Cortex A715 (@2.8GHz), two Arm-Cortex A710 (@2.8GHz), and three Arm-Cortex A510 (@2.0GHz). For graphics, there is an integrated Adreno 740 GPU, which also supports hardware-level ray tracing, by the way.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

It is available in 8/12GB RAM options paired with a 256GB storage variant, with no storage expansion options. Magic 5 comes preloaded with Android 13 and MagicOS 7.1 on top.

Cameras

While everything so far is identical to the Pro variant, cameras are where things start to diverge. In comparison to the 5 Pro’s trio of 50MP sensors, the Magic 5 features a triple camera setup led by a 54MP primary camera. Joining the lineup is a 50MP ultrawide and 32MP telephoto lens with 2.5x Optical Zoom and 50x Digital Zoom. For selfies, a 12MP camera is housed inside a tiny punch-hole in the front. Both cameras have 4K video recording capabilities.

Honor Magic 5 Star Wheel Camera

Rest of the specs

Moving on, the Magic 5 is fueled by a 5100mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging. Talking about connectivity, it supports dual-band Wi-Fi 7 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be), Bluetooth 5.2, IR blaster, and NFC. Additionally, it comes with stereo speakers with DTS X Ultra sound support. However, it lacks a 3.5mm jack for wired earphones and such.

Honor Magic 5 Specifications:

  • Dimensions: 161.4 x 75.5 x 7.8mm; 191 grams
  • Display: 6.73″ OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, 1600 nits brightness

    Realme 10 with Helio G99, 90Hz sAMOLED display launched in Nepal

    Back in November, Realme 10 was unveiled as the latest addition to the new number series. The phone has now made its way to the Nepali market. So, let’s look into the Realme 10 in more detail, including its specs, features, official price, and availability in Nepal.

    Realme 10 Overview:

    Performance and Memory

    Last year’s Realme 9 was powered by the Snapdragon 680, which brought the power efficiency of a 6nm process but sacrificed raw performance as a result. Realme is improving this with the Helio G99. This new mid-range chip is based on TSMC’s 6nm and brings newer and faster CPU cores. With the new chip, Realme 10 has already scored 400,086 points in Realme’s internal testing.

    The chip is paired with up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of storage. Users will be able to access an additional 8GB of virtual memory. As per the company, Realme 10 can run 18 apps simultaneously because of the hardware and software optimization.

    Design and Display

    Realme 10 sports a 6.4-inch FHD+ screen that refreshes at 90Hz. The touch sampling rate is listed at 180Hz. Although Realme is using a Super AMOLED panel, the phone settles with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

    The frames are now flat, with only the edges retaining curves. Realme has also gotten rid of the plastic camera bump at the back.

    Camera

    As a result, the two camera sensors emerge from the rear panel itself. Realme has scaled down the resolution of the primary camera from 108MP to 50MP. Realme 10 doesn’t have an ultrawide module since the only other camera is a 2MP portrait sensor.

    Rest of the Specs

    Moving on, the phone is getting the same 5,000mAh battery as its predecessor. The charging speed is also capped at 33W. The phone ships with Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0. For audio, the phone has a down-firing single speaker and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

    Realme 10 Specifications:

    • Dimensions: 159.9 x 73.3 x 7.95mm; 178 grams
    • Display: 6.4″ Super AMOLED, 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling, 600 nits brightness
    • Resolution: FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels), 20:9 aspect ratio, 409 PPI
    • Chipset: MediaTek Helio G99 (6nm Mobile Platform)
    • Memory: 4/6/8GB LPDDR4X RAM
    • Storage: 128GB/256GB storage
    • Software & UI: Realme UI 3.0 on top of Android 12
    • Rear Camera: Dual (50MP primary, 2MP macro)
    • Front Camera: 16MP (punch-hole)
    • Audio: Single speaker, 3.5mm headphone jack
    • Security: Fingerprint sensor (side-mounted)
    • Battery: 5000mAh with 33W SuperVOOC charging
    • Colors: Clash Black, Rush White

    Realme 10 Price in Nepal and Availability

    In Nepal, the Realme 10 is priced at NPR 29,999 for the 8/128GB variant. You can buy the smartphone from Hukut and other retail stores across Nepal.

    While there aren’t many visual changes in MIUI 14, there are a few fresh features related to on-device privacy and optimization.

    Redesigned Home Screen

    While MIUI 14 resembles its previous iteration in many ways, Xiaomi now offers more customization for the home screen with MIUI 14. You can now stylize it by using tabular icons, large folders, widgets, and wallpapers to make it look clearer and easier to use in everyday use.

    The new UI also brings a card-style design which helps to present the information more efficiently.

    Back-end Optimization

    MIUI 14 System Optimization

    Xiaomi claims that MIUI 14 uses less storage than MIUI 13 and is optimized to free up more memory for space savings. Since  MIUI is a heavy Android skin, this is certainly a step in the right direction. Also, MIUI 14 will automatically compress rarely used apps to ensure optimal performance.

    On-device Privacy

    For privacy-conscious users, there’s a new on-device privacy feature that processes sensitive data within the device. With this, MIUI 14 uses the capabilities of your device to recognize text on images quickly and accurately. It is available for more than ten system services, says Xiaomi.

    Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro goes global with 48dB ANC, spatial audio, and more

    While the Xiaomi 13 Pro was the star of Xiaomi’s launch event at MWC, the company also announced its latest TWS in the form of Buds 4 Pro. Here, we will run through the specifications, features, expected price, and availability of the Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro in Nepal.

    Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro Overview:

    Design

    For its latest flagship earbuds, Xiaomi has designed a space-inspired “Space Capsule” design. It measures 49.5 grams in weight and is available in two color options: Star Gold and Space Black.

    Inside you get color-matching earbuds that weigh around 5.0 grams. So, they are pretty lightweight. As far as the look is concerned, Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro carries on the in-ear design of its predecessor, but with a lot more curves on it. You get IP54 ratings on both the earbuds and charging case.

    Audio Drivers and Connectivity

    Inside of the Xiaomi Buds 4 Pro, you get second-gen dual-magnetic dynamic drivers with a diameter of 11mm. The frequency response of the earbuds ranges from 20Hz to 40kHz. You even get wireless Hi-Res audio, courtesy of the LHDC 4.0. You can also enjoy 96kHz audio transmission with Xiaomi’s latest flagships, including Xiaomi 12 Series and the new MIX Fold 2.

    All of the functions of the Buds 4 Pro are controlled by an unspecified 12nm-based multi-core chip. The chip is said to improve computing performance as well as help reduce power consumption.

    In terms of connectivity, Xiaomi’s latest flagship earbuds come with Bluetooth LE 5.3 on board with a wireless range of 10m. There is even support for simultaneous multi-device connections. Users can also customize the settings of the Buds 3 Pro using the Xiaomi headphones app.

    Controls

    Xiaomi’s new wireless AR glass could be a game-changer

    Xiaomi, the Chinese tech giant, unveiled its concept of wireless AR glass at the MWC 2023, called “Wireless AR Glass Discovery Editon”. This is the company’s first wireless AR glass with distributed computing and a retina-level adaptive display that adjusts to the lighting environment.

    Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition Overview:

    Lightweight design

    Xiaomi has used lightweight materials such as magnesium-lithium alloy, carbon fiber, and a self-developed silicon-oxygen anode battery to make this glass as light and comfortable as possible. As a result, this thing weighs only 126 grams.

    Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition - Design

    Industry-first retina-level display

    Moreover, this is the first AR glass ever with a retina-level display. The PPD (Pixels Per Degree) of the Xiaomi Wireless AR Glasses is 58. For reference, at 60 PPD, the human eye cannot distinguish granularity on the screen. This Micro OLED display also has a peak brightness of 1200 nits. Additionally, this AR glass comes with electrochromic lenses that can adapt to different lighting conditions.

    Powerful performance

    To achieve high-speed data connections with smartphones, Xiaomi has integrated its own high-speed interconnection buses into this glass. Powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 Platform and Xiaomi’s proprietary low-latency communication link, this AR glass achieves wireless latency as low as 3ms when communicating with a phone. Or 50ms full link latency wireless connection that’s comparable to a wired solution.

    Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1

    According to Xiaomi, it has analyzed thousands of head-tracking data samples with details such as the center of gravity, leg spacing, angle, nose rest, and other factors to calibrate this AR glass.

    Xiaomi Wireless AR glass has a natural gesture control

    As the gesture recognition area, Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass uses the joints of the user’s inner fingers. The directional is oriented from the second joint of the middle finger to the second joint of the index finger, where the second joint of the index finger represents the upward direction. This, in conjunction with the surrounding areas, forms a four-way directional key for basic movement operations.

    Overall, the micro gestures on the Xiaomi AR glass enable a user to perform basic tasks like selecting and opening apps, swiping through pages, exiting an app to return to the start page, use sliding and tapping operations—all without using a smartphone for controls. However, users can also use smartphones for controls if they want to. You can check the embedded tweet above to see these gestures in action.

    More app support

    Moving on, users can stream a bunch of large-screen applications including TikTok and YouTube through Mi Share on this glass. And they also have the ability to position familiar apps anywhere in the viewing space and adjust their interface size using spatial gestures. But the most important thing is that the Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition can only pair with Snapdragon Spaces-ready devices like the Xiaomi 13 series, OnePlus 11, and more. Whereas the software support for this AR glass includes Snapdragon Spaces, OpenXR, and Microsoft MRTK development framework.

    Xiaomi Wireless AR Glass Discovery Edition Price and Availability

    There’s no official word on the pricing and availability of this AR glass since this is just a concept device for now. We’ll be sure to update this article with more info once Xiaomi discloses them.
