Let’s take a look at the key features of the Dell Alienware m15 R6 along with its latest price and availability in Nepal.
Dell Alienware m15 R6 Overview:
Design and Display
The chassis of the Dell Alienware m15 R6 is based on the brand’s Legend Industrial Design. Its surface has a special coating that reduces stains without changing the color of the chassis. The only color option available is called Dark Side of the Moon. Depending upon configurations, the Alienware m15 R6 weighs between 2.42 and 2.69 kg.
Coming to the display, you get a 15.6-inch panel with Dell’s ComfortView technology. Buyers can choose between 165/360Hz FHD and 240Hz QHD panels.

Here, you will find the latest price and availability of the Redmi 10A in Nepal, along with the detailed specs sheet and features.
Redmi 10A Overview:
Note that Xiaomi Nepal has brought the global variant of the Redmi 10A to Nepal, which is pretty different from the phone’s Indian SKU. While the global variant packs a 13MP dual camera setup, the Redmi 10A available in India comes with a single 13MP camera.
Design, Display
Redmi 10A offers a 6.53-inch IPS LCD display with an HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels) resolution. The display is similar to its predecessor and features the same tear-drop notch.
However, Xiaomi has switched up the rear camera module to a large square encompassing the fingerprint sensor. The phone has 3 colors to choose from: Charcoal Black, Sea Blue, and Slate Grey.
Camera
For photography, there is a 13MP primary camera supported by a 2MP depth sensor on the back. Over on the front, Xiaomi has included a 5MP selfie shooter. Yet again, the camera setup is similar to Redmi 9A.
Performance
The device is powered by a MediaTek MT6762G aka, Helio G25, which is the same as Redmi 9A. Over on the memory front, it has up to 4GB of RAM and either 32, 64, or 128GB of storage.
Furthermore, the Redmi 10A boots on MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11. In the Geekbench test, it scored 791 and 3630 points in single-core and in multi-core tests, respectively.
Redmi 10A is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery. It supports 10W fast charging via the power brick included in the box.
Besides that, the phone also includes a fingerprint sensor which was absent in 9A. It is a 4G handset with support for single-band 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks.
Redmi 10A Specifications:
Body: 164.9 x 77.1 x 9mm, 194 gm
Display: 6.53-inch LCD, 60Hz
Resolution: HD+ (720 x 1600 pixels), 20:9 aspect ratio
Chipset: MediaTek MT6762G Helio G25 (12nm Mobile Platform)
The price of the Redmi 10A in Nepal starts at Rs. 13,999 for the base 3/32GB variant while the 3/64GB model costs Rs. 15,999. Likewise, the newly-launched 4/128GB configuration goes for Rs. 17,999. You can buy Redmi 10A in Nepal from Xiaomi-authorized stores like Hukut.
In this review, I will go over my experience with the Redmi Note 12. So Xiaomi announced the Redmi Note 12 alongside the Note 12 Pro series a while ago in China. While I was really impressed with all the strides Xiaomi had made on the Pro models, I am always more excited about the budget-friendly option in the Note lineup. Because of the incredible value, they offer for the price.
Redmi Note 12 Specifications:
Body: 165.9 x 76.2 x 8mm, 188 grams, IP53 dust/water resistant
Sensors: Proximity, Compass, Accelerometer, Gyro, IR Blaster
Battery: 5000mAh with 33W charging
Colors: Black, White, Blue
Price in Nepal: N/A
Redmi Note 12 Review:
For me, the entry-level phones in the Redmi Note series are like a team that consistently qualifies for Champions League. I mean, just take the Redmi Note 10 and Note 11 from the past couple of years. Both of them were massive hits. So naturally, I had high hopes for the new Redmi Note 12 as well!
And based on my experience with the phone, I can say that Redmi has once again managed to make it to the qualifying round, if not win the game altogether. Don’t just take our word for it—I’ll be sharing all the goods and the bads of the phone in this review.
But first, let’s talk about the pricing. I ordered Redmi Note 12 from China, by the way. And it cost me around USD 200 for the 6/128GB variant. But you will not have to do all this hustle since Xiaomi is officially launching the Note 12 series globally on January 2023. Anyway, for the price, there’s a lot to love about this phone.
Design
165.9 x 76.2 x 8mm, 188 grams
Glass front, Plastic back, Plastic frames
IP53 rating
First things first, I really like how minimal and clean it looks. I have the white color variant here with me which has a silver finish on the frames. And I think it looks quite attractive. Plus, the back panel has a matte finish to it as well, so you don’t have to worry about getting fingerprints or smudges on it easily.
One thing you must have noticed by now is that Note 12 looks incredibly similar to its expensive Pro sibling. So since I already loved the design of the 12 Pro+, I feel the same way about this guy as well.
Note 12 (Left) | Note 12 Pro+ (Right)
But given that this is a budget phone, it is obvious to expect plastic back here. While a glass sandwich build would’ve been great, I think this actually works in the phone’s favor as it weighs only 188 grams and measures 8mm thick. And you know how much I like slim and lightweight phones, right?
By the way, it also enjoys an official IP53 rating which means that splashes of water won’t be hurting the phone all that much. And how can I miss the IR blaster and the 3.5mm headphone jack that Xiaomi still doesn’t forget in its phones?
Display
6.67″ Samsung AMOLED, FHD
120Hz refresh rate
1200nits brightness
Design-aside, the Redmi Note 12 brings some quality-of-life improvements on the display side of things as well. For instance, compared to the 90Hz screen on last year’s Note 11, it has a higher 120Hz refresh rate instead. As a result, I’ve been really enjoying that extra smoothness when scrolling through all sorts of apps and UI/UX here. Xiaomi has also upped the peak brightness to 1200 nits this time, so I’ve had no problems reading messages or watching movies when I’m outdoors on the Redmi Note 12 either.
Now, this is an AMOLED screen—a Samsung-made AMOLED screen to be precise—so you know exactly what to expect here. Just pitch black contrast and good color saturation for a great display experience.
But something that I’ve noticed about the Note 12’s display (as well as the 12 Pro+) is that they don’t tend to boost the colors by default to make it look extra pleasing to the eyes. I actually like this kind of calibration, although you can always change that inside the display settings if things look a bit muted to you.
But what’s weird here is that our unit of the Redmi Note 12 misses out on Widevine L1 certification for high-res streaming. From what I can tell, this is a Chinese MIUI ROM thing and the global variant of the phone should carry Widevine L1 verification.
Audio
Mono speaker
3.5mm headphone jack
While I’m quite fond of this display, the Redmi Note 12 has slightly disappointed me in terms of audio since it only has a single loudspeaker instead of a stereo setup. It gets loud enough just fine but coming from the stereo speaker setup on the Redmi Note 11, it’s certainly disappointing to see Xiaomi take an unnecessary step back.
Performance
Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 (6nm)
Up to 8GB LPDDR4x RAM, Up to 256GB UFS 2.2
Android 12-based MIUI 13
On a positive note, possibly the most notable upgrade I’ve found on Redmi Note 12 has to be on the performance front. It’s powered by the new Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chip, which outclasses the Snapdragon 680 on the Redmi Note 11 by a big margin. You can tell the difference just by the real-life usage, and it’s also clearly evident in benchmark scores, as you can see!

So my usage of the phone has been plenty fluid so far. Apps open quick enough, and I haven’t faced any problems regarding memory management either. Likewise, the improved performance of the SoC also means that the Note 12 is capable of handling light to medium games pretty easily.
For instance, Apex Legends runs at its full potential in Normal graphics and Very High settings where the gameplay is extremely stable. Whereas, in the case of PUBG Mobile, the game maxes out at HD graphics and High frame rate where I found the gameplay to be a bit stuttery. So, for the best possible experience, I would recommend dialing it down to Smooth graphics and High frame rate.
Likewise, the thermal performance of the phone is fairly commendable too. Even with non-stop sessions of a few graphics-intensive games like PUBG Mobile or Apex Legends, I didn’t notice the phone getting that warm or anything. So to further check the sustained performance of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1 chip, I also ran a CPU throttling test for up to 30 minutes, and the phone never throttled below 95% even in one instance. Great!

Furthermore, software-wise I feel like the Chinese version of MIUI has better fluidity and animations compared to the global MIUI ROM. It has been quite an experience, to be honest. On the other hand, there’s always… something with the global version that keeps it from being this reliable. So here’s to hoping that Xiaomi will change things around this time.

Let’s talk about the cameras now. And sadly, Xiaomi has skipped the ultrawide sensor on the Redmi Note 12 and there are only two sensors this time around; a 48MP main sensor paired with a 2MP depth lens.

But thankfully, its main camera can actually take decent photos in ample lighting conditions. Part of this might be due to Snapdragon 4 Gen 1’s new ISP too. The photos turn out a bit contrasty overall and it does struggle with dynamic range sometimes, but the detail and sharpness levels are pretty good.

The Redmi Note 12 does a pretty good job with the portraits as well. Unlike your typical budget phones from Xiaomi that mess up the subject’s skin tone to a weird reddish tint, the Note 12 tries to avoid that as much as possible.
Selfie Images
Selfies

But the photos from its 8MP selfie camera are not the greatest. They’re not that sharp and people’s skin tone also looks somewhat pinkish.
Videos
Getting to the videos, the phone can only record 1080p 30fps videos from both the front and back. And, yes the stabilization isn’t that great here, but the rear camera can shoot decent videos with balanced colors overall.
Battery
5000mAh battery
33W fast charging
Finally, the battery life on the Redmi Note 12 has been superb. Even with heavy usage consisting of hours of gaming, photo/video shooting, and casual web browsing all through the review period, I managed to net out around 8 hours of screen on time on Note 12. And for charging, you get a 33W adapter inside the box which takes around 1 hour to fully juice up the cell.
Redmi Note 12 Review: Conclusion
So wrapping up this review, I feel like the Redmi Note 12 is a pretty great budget phone—one that will be a strong contender against other budget phones to come out in 2023. Obviously, there are areas where Xiaomi has made some sacrifices, such as the lack of an ultrawide sensor and stereo speakers.
But budget phones always make compromises in one way or the other. And thankfully, the compromise is not on aspects like performance which would have ruined the overall smartphone experience. So if you can look past all this, I think the Redmi Note 12 still offers great value.
Realme initially launched this latest 10 series last month, which is finally going global. On the other hand, the company is adding new members to the series. Realme 10s went official in China, and here we will discuss the specs, features, expected price, and availability in Nepal.
Realme 10s Overview:
While Realme 10s is the latest phone in the company’s portfolio, the specs it offers are not entirely new. Realme has based it on the 9i 5G, which is also available in Nepal, with a few changes here and there.
Design and Design
To start with, Realme 10s has an uncanny visual resemblance to the 9i 5G. It has the same boxy design with a textured CD-inspired finish on the back. The frames of the 9i 5G are completely flat, and the corners are the only part of the phone that still retains a little bit of curve. The phone is 8.1mm thick and weighs around 191 grams. Users can choose between two available color options: Streamer Blue and Crystal Black.
On the front, Realme 10s has a 6.6-inch LCD screen with a 2408 x 1080 pixels resolution. The resultant pixel density is 401 PPI. The screen refreshes 60 times per second and boasts touch sampling rate of 180Hz. It has 400 nits of typical brightness and a waterdrop notch.
Camera
The notch is also home to the 8MP selfie camera. Realme 10s has two more sensors on the back. The first is a 50MP sensor which acts as the primary camera. Accompanying it is a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. The phone has no dedicated camera module, and the sensors stick out of the rear panel in what Realme calls the dual-ring design.
Under the hood, Realme 10s packs the Dimensity 810 5G. Based on a 6nm process, the chip packs two Cortex-A76 performance (@2.4GHz) and 6x Cortex-A55 (@2GHz). It is what handles all the processing going on the 10s. The chip is a slightly overclocked version of the Dimensity 700 on the vanilla Realme 10 5G but offers nothing new compared to the 9i 5G.
Realme has paired the chip with 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and users can choose between 128GB and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. You can add an additional 6GB of RAM using the virtual RAM feature. There is even a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion.
Rest of the specs
Fueling the Realme 10s is a 5,000mAh battery, and it supports 33W fast charging. Realme includes a compatible charger in the box that can take the phone from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes. Since it uses an LCD panel, the fingerprint scanner is integrated into the power button on the side. On the audio front, you get a single speaker that you can adjust to 17 different levels up to 87 dB. Despite Realme announcing its latest custom skin, 10s is stuck on last year’s Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12.
The price of Realme 10s in China starts at CNY 1,099 for the base 8/128GB variant. There is another memory variant with double the storage that costs CNY 1,299. If it launches in Nepal, we expect the price of the Realme 10s to start at NPR 27,999 in Nepal.

And that’s not it — even the LIFE in BenQ is an acronym itself. It is short for Lifestyle, Business, Healthcare, and Education which are the fields that the brand focuses on.
BenQ started out in 2001 in Taiwan and had rapid growth up to 2006. The brand then focused the next year on strategic development and started expanding the brand from 2007 to 2018. The company is popular among PC enthusiasts because of its wide range of professional monitors, digital projectors, LED lighting solutions, and mobile computing devices.
After a few weeks of teasers, Motorola has just launched its latest flagship smartphone. The new Moto X40 brings the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and 165Hz AMOLED panel, among other high-end specifications. In this article, we will discuss the Motorola Moto X40 in more detail, including its expected price and availability in Nepal.
Motorola Moto X40 Overview:
Performance and Memory
Motorola Moto X40 comes with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. In fact, it’s the first Motorola phone to feature Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset. Talking about the chip, it boasts a 35% faster and a 25% faster CPU, while also being 40% and 45% more power efficient than the last gen. Motorola has paired the chip with up to 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The phone has an 11-layer 3D heat dissipation system with a cooling surface of 24868.28 sq.mm.
Fueling the Moto X40 is a 4,600mAh battery that supports 125W TurboPower fast charging. This lets the phone go from 0 to 50% in just 7 minutes. In addition, it has support for 15W wireless and 15W reverse charging.
To make the most out of the 4,600mAh battery, Motorola has implemented the self-developed MAXE engine, which dynamically adjusts the power for the highest performance and best performance based on 7 different scenarios.
Cameras
The camera hardware on the Motorola Moto X40 is impressive too. Motorola was the first brand to launch a 200MP smartphone, but it has not gone beyond the 50MP mark on the latest flagship. The X40 bears not one but two 50MP sensors.
The first one acts as the primary camera. It has a 1/1.55” sensing area and is equipped with Optical Image Stabilization for extra stabilization. The second 50MP takes the role of both ultrawide and macro cameras. It has a 117° wide Field of View and can take pictures from as close as 2.5cm from the object. Finally, the third camera is a 12MP IMX663 telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom.
Over on the front, Motorola Moto X40 sports a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with FHD+ resolution and 10-bit color depth. It refreshes at 165Hz, and Motorola has optimized a few games to run at the said refresh rate. The phone also has a 28nm display driver that increases the power efficiency of the screen by 11.2%. That aside, Moto X40 also has certifications from HDR10+ and SGS for HDR and blue-light filter, respectively.
Both the front and back of the Moto Edge X40 have Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus, with an aviation-grade aluminum grade keeping them together. The back panel even has an AG 2.0 matter finish on top for fingerprint resistance. Motorola also seems proud of the X40’s design has 12 curves and 0 right angles. The phone has IP68 dust and water resistance and comes in two colors: Smoky Black and Tourmaline Blue.
Motorola Moto X40 Specifications:
Display: 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED, 165Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth, DC dimming, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus
Moto X40 Price in Nepal and Availability (Expected)
Motorola Moto X4 is already up for pre-order in China, where it starts at CNY 3,999 for the base 8/128GB variant and goes up to CNY 4,299 for the 12GB variant. If it launches in Nepal, we expect the price of the Motorola Moto X40 to start at NPR 84,499.
On the first day of ongoing Inno Day, Oppo unveiled a bunch of new innovations. This includes a new in-house chip, second-gen AR glasses, and the company’s first smart family health monitoring devices. In this article, we will look at the MariSilicon Y, Air Glass 2, and Oppo OHealth H1, all announced on the first day of Inno Day (2022).
Oppo OHealth H1
We are going to start off with the OHealth H1, which is a first of kinds device in Oppo’s otherwise diverse portfolio. This is among the first innovation to come out of Oppo Health Lab, established last year. Oppo has even set up a new OHealth sub-brand which makes us believe we will see a lot more Health Lab products in the future.
Coming to the H1 launched on Inno Day (2022), it comes with six advanced tracking features: heart rate, ECG, blood oxygen (SpO2), auscultation, sleep, body temperature, and cardiopulmonary. Oppo even claims OHealth H1’s data collection to be in line with clinical-grade medical equipment like a stethoscope and a single-lead ECG.
This bold claim seems to come from Omron, which is a well-known Japanese medical device. While it’s not clear, we believe Oppo and Omron have collaborated in either or both the precision sensors and the new Sense algorithm.
Moving on, Oppo OHealth H1 stores users’ health data on the company’s health cloud for long-term preventive healthcare. The company believes the H1 will come in handy in telemedicine, AI-assisted diagnosis, and health monitoring and notifications.
Oppo also took the stage at the Inno Day 2022 to announce the MariSilicon Y. It is the company’s second-only in-house chip — the first one being 2021’s MariSilicon X NPU. While the MariSilicon X dealt with image processing, the new Y chip is more concerned with wireless communication. In fact, it is a Bluetooth SoC built on a new N6RF process. This results in 66% less power consumption and a 50% increase in bandwidth, compared to the mainstream BT chips.
The new MariSilicon Y is capable of lossless wireless audio transmission at 24 bits / 192kHz, which Oppo says is the first for the industry. It supports smart adaptive code-rate ranging from 80Kbps to 10Mbps. In addition, the new chip has Smart Active Noise Reduction, Spatial Rendering, Ultra-low latency, Spatial Audio, and Smart Anti-Inference built into it.
Oppo Air Glass 2
Finally, the third major launch at Oppo Inno Day 2022 was the Air Glass 2. It is the successor to Oppo’s first “Assisted Reality” product launched on 2021’s Inno Day. While the first-gen Air Glass looked like a monocle straight out of Dragon Ball Z, its successor has a more realistic design.
Oppo Air Glass 2 looks more like mainstream glasses with a thicker side frame. It is still lightweight, though — weighing just 30 grams. The lens measures 1.3mm and uses a unique light diffractive waveguide technology. In addition, Air Glass 2 also has a single-pixel MicroLED screen with 3 million nits brightness.
Oppo Air Glass 2 packs the Snapdragon 4100 SoC and boasts battery life of up to 10.5 hours. In terms of features, it supports image correction, real-time translation, navigation, speech-to-text inscription, and more.
Meanwhile, check out our review of the Oppo Reno 8 Pro.
While we wait for the company to drop its latest number series in Nepal, Realme took the stage in China to announce its latest midrange smartphones. The new V23i is the latest addition to the company’s V-lineup. In this article, we will discuss the key specs, features, expected price, and availability of Realme V23i in Nepal.
Realme V23i Overview:
Delayed Launch
The was no buzz surrounding the launch of the V23i. Realme didn’t tease anything prior, nor it held any official launch event. The phone was just added to the company’s official site with little-to-no information other than its price. And we kind of know why.
For starters, Realme V23i first appeared on the internet earlier in May. It was spotted in one of China’s telecom databases with the RMX3576 model number. The database revealed all the information about the smartphone as well as its marketing name. Back then, it was believed that Realme would announce the phone the same month, but we believe it was held until the silent treatment now.
Performance and Memory
Now that Realme has finally launched the phone, let’s discuss its features and specifications. Realme V23i is being pitched as an entry-level 5G smartphone. It packs the Dimensity 700 chip, first announced in 2020. Built on a 7nm process, it features 2x Cortex-A76 (2.2GHz) performance and 6x Cortex-A55 (2GHz) efficiency cores.
The chip is paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD. It is the sole memory variant that Realme V23i is available with, which is uncommon for a mid-range phone in 2022, especially in China. So, you will have to rely on the MicroSD card slot if you need storage bigger than 128GB.
Another highlight of the Realme V23i is its display. It sports a 6.56-inch screen that refreshes at 90Hz. On the downside, it is not the sharpest display out there, with an HD+ resolution of just 1612 x 720 pixels. It has a center-aligned punch-hole cutout, home to an 8MP selfie camera.
At the back, you get two more image sensors on the rectangular camera module. First is a 13MP primary sensor with a second 2MP depth camera to go with it.
Rest of the Specs
Fueling the Realme V23i is a 5,000mAh battery that supports input charge of up to 10W. It comes with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for biometrics. Software-wise, users get the last-gen Realme UI 3 based on Android 12. It measures 8mm in thickness and weighs around 185 grams. Likewise, Realme offers the phone in two colors: Mountain Blue and Jade Black.
Realme V23i Specifications:
Dimensions: 163.8 × 75.1 × 8.0mm; 185g

Oppo announced its first foldable phone, the Find N, at last year’s Inno Day. At the last day of Oppo’s 2022 annual event, the company has now launched its successor, the Find N2. That’s not all — there is a new flip phone, set to compete against the likes of Galaxy Z Flip 4, Pocket S, and Razr 2022. Here, we will discuss the full specs, features, expected price, and availability of the Oppo Find N2 in Nepal.
Oppo Find N2 Overview:
Design and Display
Design-wise, the new Oppo Find N2 is a slimmer and lighter version of its predecessor. Oppo has reduced the thickness from 73mm to 72.6mm, while there is a massive jump in the weight category from 275 gm to 233 grams.
Oppo has also vastly improved the hinge system on its second-gen foldable. The company has reduced the number of moving parts from 138 to 100. As a result, the volume and the weight are down by 37% and 36%, respectively. It can open at any angle between 45° and 125°.
Furthermore, Find N2 now uses composite carbon fiber to support the folding display, making it 34% lighter and the crease 67% less visible. The 5.54-inch external display is the same size as last year. That said, Oppo has changed the aspect ratio by reducing the bezels. Likewise, the screen is smoother with the 120Hz refresh rate and can get as bright as 1,350 nits.
Over on the inside, you get an even brighter display that peaks at 1,550 nits. The 7.1” WUSXGA screen has the same refresh rate as the cover display, but since it is an LTPO AMOLED, it can dial it down to 1Hz to save energy when needed, but it’s not anything new. What’s new is the added support for Oppo Stylus, though you will have to buy it separately as it is not part of the Find N2 bundle.
Oppo has also strengthened on the photography front. The 50MP primary now uses an upgraded Sony IMX890 with a 1/1.56-inch sensor. It also has Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for steady shots. Furthermore, Oppo has replaced the 13MP ultrawide camera with a massive 48MP sensor. The telephoto module gets a similar upgrade, jumping from 13MP to 32MP. For selfies, you get 32MP snapper on external and internal screens. Oppo Find N2 also benefits from the in-house MariSilicon X imaging NPU and Hasselblad color calibration.
Performance and Battery
We do get a better processor than the Snapdragon 888 on the original Find N. However, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 is still not the latest flagship chip in Qualcomm’s arsenal. The chip is paired with up to 15GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Oppo Find N2 ships with Android 13 out of the box with ColorOS on top.
The battery has seen a slight increase to 4,520mAh, while it now charges a lot faster at 67W. So, you can expect a fully charged phone in just 42.5 minutes.
