Samsung announces SmartThings Station to elevate your smart home experience

At CES 2023, Samsung has unveiled a new product called the SmartThings Station. It’s a 2-in-1 device that allows you to easily control and manage all of your connected devices through a single interface. And also let you use it as a wireless charging pad. More about the Samsung SmartThings Station and its expected price in Nepal here. 

Samsung SmartThings Station Overview:

The SmartThings Station is a device that aims to simplify the process of managing your smart home. It acts as a hub for all of your connected devices, allowing you to control and automate different aspects of your home environment from a single device.

Setting it up is quite easy and straightforward. When you first turn it on, a pop-up message will appear on your compatible Samsung Galaxy smartphone, guiding you through the setup process. You can also use your smartphone or tablet to set up the device by scanning QR codes.

Create suitable routines

One of the convenient features of this hub is the physical button, known as the Smart Button. Located at the hub’s pad, this button can be used to activate pre-programmed routines that control all of your smart home devices. Matter of fact, you can create these routines in the SmartThings app.

Samsung SmartThings Create Routines

You could, for example, create a night routine that includes turning off lights, closing blinds, and lowering the temperature. It can then be activated via a quick tap of the Smart Button before going to bed.

The SmartThings Station can store up to three different routines, which can be activated by a short, long, or double press. And obviously, you can control your routines from afar by using the SmartThings app on your smartphone or tablet.

Intel announces 13th Gen “Raptor Lake” mobile processors with up to 24 cores

After impressing the PC industry with the 12th Gen desktop chips, Intel has just announced the mobile lineup of the Raptor Lake processors. The company has kickstarted CES 2023 with the announcement of the latest U-series, P-series, H-series, and HX-series of laptop processors— each series catering to a specific group. In this article, we will discuss the latest 13th Gen Raptor Lake Intel mobile processors in more detail.

Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Mobile Processors

Like their desktop counterparts, the new Raptor Lake mobile processors are based on Intel’s latest hybrid architecture. Based on the now-matured Intel 7 process, they bring a combination of high-performing Performance cores (P-cores) and efficiency-first Efficient (E-cores). They work in tandem thanks to the Intel Thread Director, which works alongside the operating system (OS) to deploy the most appropriate core depending on the task at hand.

13th Gen Intel Core HX-series Mobile

At the top of the new Raptor Lake mobile hierarchy is the HX series. These are “desktop-level” processors for extreme-performance laptops. Out of the nine chips announced, the Core i9-13980HX stole the show. It is a 24-core chip, divided into 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores with the former supporting Intel Hyper-Threading. As a result, the total thread count is 32.

Intel has two more 24-core laptop processors: Core i9-13950HX and Core i9-13900Hx. They all share the same Core/Thread counts as well as the base frequencies of the Performance and Efficient clusters. However, the 12980HX edges past the other two with P-Core turbo and E-Core turbo at 5.6GHz and 4.0GHz, respectively. The i9-13950HX is a close second with the same E-Core Turbo but a lightly slower P-Core Turbo of 2.5GHz. Lastly, the Core i9-13900HX reaches Turbo frequencies of 3.9GHz and 5.4GHz for E-cores and P-cores, respectively.

Entry-level Poco C50 goes official with MediaTek A22, 13MP camera

After teasing the phone for weeks, Poco has finally launched the C50 today at an event in India. It takes on last year’s C40 as the brand’s latest entry-level phone. Here, we will discuss the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the new Poco C50 in Nepal.

Poco C50 Overview:

Design and Display

Like most of Poco’s launches post its spin-off from Xiaomi, the C50 is not an entirely new product. The phone is hugely based on the Redmi A1/A1+ that you can buy in Nepal. It is not that hard to figure out, given the close resemblance between the C50 and A1 series.

Poco C50 has an all-plastic build with a 9.09mm thickness and a weight of 192 grams. The back of the device, along with the corners, are curved for an ergonomic grip. Moreover, the rear panel has a leather-like texture, adding a bit of premium touch.

Over on the front, Poco has included a big 6.52-inch LCD screen with a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera. It is an HD+ screen with a 120Hz touch-sampling rate.

Poco C50 Design and Color Option

Performance and Memory

Inside, Poco C50 comes with the Helio A22 chipset, which is almost half a decade old. What is more disappointing is that it is a quad-core CPU with four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at up to 2.0GHz. For context, the JLQ JR510 on the C40 features two quad-core clusters of more capable Cortex-A55 cores — clocked at 1.5GHz and 2.0GHz, respectively.

That aside, Poco C50 ships with up to 3GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 32GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. The latter is expandable up to 512GB by inserting a microSD card.

Camera

The squarish camera module with rounded corners is reminiscent of the Mi 11 series. However, the camera hardware is nowhere near the same. On the Poco C50, we get a modest dual-camera setup consisting of an 8MP primary sensor and a depth sensor. Likewise, you get a 5MP selfie camera housed by the notch.

Poco C50 Camera

Rest of the specs

Foco C50 comes with a 5,000mAh battery pack and supports 10W charging. Given the entry-level specs, Poco C50 ships with Android 12 Go. You get a physical fingerprint scanner on the back for biometric login.

Poco C50 Specifications:

  • Dimensions: 164.9 x 76.45 x 9.09mm; 192 grams
  • Display: 6.52-inch LCD panel, HD+ resolution, 120Hz touch sampling rate
  • Chipset: MediaTek Helio A22 (12nm)

  • Storage: 32GB eMMC 5.1 (expandable up to 512GB)
  • Software & UI: Android 12 Go Edition
  • Rear Camera: Dual (with LED flash);
    – 8MP f/2.0 primary lens
    – Depth sensor
  • Front Camera: 5MP (water-drop)
  • Battery: 5000mAh with 10W Charging
  • Biometric: Rear-mounted fingerprint sensor
  • Sensors: Accelerometer
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11/b/g/n (2.4GHz), Bluetooth 5.2, 4G VoLTE
  • Color Options: Country Green, Royal Blue

Poco C50 Price in Nepal and Availability (Expected)

The price of the Poco C50 in India is INR 6,499 for the base 2/32GB and INR 7,299 for the 3/32GB variant. However, the price starts at INR 6,249 as part of the first sale on January 10 through Flipkart. We expect the price of Poco C50 to start at NPR 11,999 when it launches in Nepal.

Poco C50  Price in India (Official)  Price in Nepal (Expected) 
2/32GB INR 6,499 NPR 11,999

Samsung unveils Odyssey Neo G9 as the World’s first Dual UHD Gaming monitor

At the ongoing CES 2023, Samsung has just announced the latest update to its monitor lineup. The 2023 lineup of Samsung monitors brings new additions to the Odyssey Gaming, ViewFinity, and Smart series. In this article, we will discuss the newly announced Samsung Odyssey Neo G9, Odyssey OLED G9, ViewFinity S9, and Smart Monitor M8 monitors in detail, including the official specifications, expected price, and availability in Nepal.

Odyssey Neo G9: World’s First Dual UHD Gaming Monitor

Let’s start with the main highlight of the event. The newly announced Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 is the world’s first Dual UHD gaming monitor. Last year’s Odyssey Neo G8 was the world’s first 4K 240Hz panel, and its successor has now taken the resolution up a notch while keeping the high refresh rate intact. Talking about the new Neo G9, it boasts a staggering 7680 x 2160 resolution and a 32:9 aspect ratio.

It is a 57” Quantum mini LED screen with a 1000R curvature. Brightness is not an issue here since the monitor has VESA Display HDR 1000 specifications. Likewise, Samsung has used a matte display to reduce the inconvenience caused by reflections of surrounding light on the screen.

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 World's First Dual UHD gaming monitor
