Samsung is expanding the horizon of its Odyssey lineup of gaming monitors with the new G8. Announced at the IFA 2022, it is the company’s first gaming monitor with an OLED panel. Besides, the Odyssey G8 also boasts a slim profile and a slew of gaming features. So, let’s take a look at the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 in Nepal.
Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 Overview:
First OLED Odessey Monitor
Let’s start with the display. Here, the Odyssey OLED G8 features a 32-inch OLED panel with a QHD resolution. According to the official press release, the monitor makes use of Quantum Dot technology. But it is not clear if Samsung is referring to the QD-OLED technology that it announced earlier this year.
That aside, Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 flaunts a screen with a 1800R curvature. It covers 99.3% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and boasts a fast response time of 0.1ms. By the way, the screen refreshes at 175Hz. It even supports AMD FreeSync for variable refresh rates. Moreover, the display even has VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification.
Ultra-Slim Profile
Samsung has designed the Odyssey OLED G8 to have an extremely thin profile. The monitor is just 3.9mm thick in its thinnest part. As per the company, it is the slimmest product in its category. Samsung has used a metal frame to reinforce the monitor. The stand is also metallic and it supports height and tilt adjustment. Unfortunately, there is no option to mount the monitor as it has a big built-in RGB light at the back.
Entertainment and IoT Hub
You can even use the Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 to monitor other IoT devices in your house. For this, it comes with SmartThings app pre-installed. In addition, there is Samsung’s Smart Hub that lets users stream movies and shows from platforms like Prime Video, Netflix, and YouTube. Users can watch live TV with Samsung Plus.
Samsung has even integrated its game streaming platform, the Gaming Hub, into the Odyssey G8. With this, users will be able to stream games from cloud services like NVIDIA GeForce Now, Google Stadia, and Amazon Luna.
Users can even control the RGB lighting at the back with the help of CoreSync and Core Lighting+. As for connectivity, you get a Micro HDMI 2.1, Mini DP 1.4, and a USB-C port for wireless connectivity. The monitor even integrated a 5W stereo speaker for audio.
When I say “fitness tracker” or “smartwatch”, I’m pretty sure Asus isn’t the first name that would pop in your mind. Instead, Asus is mostly known for its outrageous gaming laptops and gaming phones. Or more recently, the $3500 ZenBook 17 Fold OLED laptop with a foldable touchscreen. But the new Asus VivoWatch 5 Aero deserves your attention.
Asus VivoWatch 5 Aero Overview:
Unveiled at IFA 2022, this is the world’s first fitness tracker that can take ECG readings simply by placing the fingertip on the sensor.
What is ECG?
ECG or EKG (Electrocardiogram) basically tests your heart’s rhythm and electrical signal. And it can be an important identifier of your heart health, such as detecting arrhythmia (irregular heartbeats), coronary heart disease, and more. And we’ve already seen a bunch of smartwatches that can take ECG readings before the Asus VivoWatch 5 Aero. Like the Apple Watch Series 7, Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series, Fitbit Sense/Sense 2, and more.
Apple Watch Series 7 – ECG
Anyway, this fitness tracker has dual ECG and PPG sensors to measure your pulse transit time, heart rate levels, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), and more. And to take an ECG reading, you can simply place your fingerprint on the sensor right below the display for a while. Other than this, Asus has not clarified how the tech works or anything, so we can’t speak about its reliability to any degree yet.
Other features of the Asus VivoWatch 5 Aero includes sleep tracking and snore detection. It also has a built-in G-Sensor (Gravity) and GPS so that it can track your workouts more effectively. Talking about workouts, it supports 9 of them in total—including running, jogging, swimming, cycling, treadmill, dancing, yoga, and more. And all your health data syncs up with the Asus HealthConnect app, which is available for both Android and iOS devices.
Besides this, the VivoWatch 5 Aero has most of your typical smartwatch features too. Like app notifications, weather info, remote camera shutter, etc. As you can see from the image, it has a pretty small display (presumably OLED)—even for a fitness tracker. But I guess that was a necessary sacrifice to accommodate the ECG sensor up front.
How much will the Asus VivoWatch 5 Aero cost?
Unfortunately, that’s all we know about the Asus VivoWatch 5 Aero for now. The company is keeping many details about this fitness tracker in the hush-hush. Like the display size, weight and dimensions, battery life, and more. As such, we don’t know about its price or availability either. But rumors suggest that Asus could be eyeing a December launch for this guy.

Performance
Inside, you will find an Amlogic processor with four Cortex-A53 CPU cores while Mali-450 MP3 handles render graphics. Mi TV 4X features 2GB RAM and 8GB of eMMC internal storage.

On August 10, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 5 series including Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro at its Galaxy Unpacked event. The new flagship smartwatches are now available in Nepal. Here, we will be discussing the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Series (including Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro) along with their specs, features, availability, and official price in Nepal.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Series Overview:
Things are a little different this year as Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch 5 series without a “Classic” model. Instead, it released two variants of the smartwatch, namely, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. The updates to the Watch 5 are iterative but the Watch 5 Pro is a different beast of its own.
The Galaxy Watch 5 shares many similarities with its predecessor in terms of design. It is available in two case options 40mm and 44mm, retaining the same dimensions as well as the screen size. However, Samsung has included a new sapphire crystal protection for better durability.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro sports a 1.4″ AMOLED display nestled in a 45mm case made of titanium. The Pro edition does away with the rotating bezel in favor of what is referred to as the “Digital Bezel.”
This redesigned look is complemented by a new magnetic strap. Similarly, it has two buttons on the right edge, one of which has a red accent.
The Watch 5 Pro will be available in black and grey colorways. As for the Watch 5, Samsung has opted for Graphite, Pink Gold, Silver, and a new Sapphire. Both watches are 5ATM water resistant and rated IP68 / MIL-STD-810H.
The Galaxy Watch 5 series is powered by the same Exynos W920 processor as last year. Thus, the performance shall remain fairly the same. Furthermore, with 1.5GB memory and 16GB internal storage, the RAM and storage configuration has not been altered too.
On the software side of things, Samsung offers WearOS 3.5-based One UI 4.5 with new accessibility features and a full-screen keyboard among other improvements. Furthermore, Google Maps can be accessed without the need for a phone.
Fitness Features
While the processor remained the same, Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Series brings upgrades to health tracking with its latest 3-in-1 BioActive sensor. The new watches can also feature an infrared temperature sensor.
It checks all the bells and whistles set by previous Galaxy smartwatches but improves on them with better accurate readings. It can measure and monitor blood oxygen levels, stress levels, heart, blood pressure, and ECG. Samsung claims to have achieved this by increasing the surface area of the sensor-skin contact.
Most of the features need Android 8 or higher and Samsung Health app version 6.22 or higher.
Rest of the specs
Another much-needed upgrade comes in the form of bigger batteries. According to Samsung, the Watch 5 sports a 13% bigger battery compared to the Watch 4. Likewise, the Watch 5 Pro ships with a massive 590mAh battery.
Furthermore, Samsung has upgraded the charging as well. The Galaxy Watch 5 series supports fast charging and with 8 minutes of charging, tracks 8 hours of sleep data.

As always, only the Bluetooth/WiFi variants of the Watch 5 series are headed to Nepal. The price of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 series in Nepal starts at NPR 39,999 for Watch 5 (40mm) and goes as high as NPR 64,999 for Watch 5 Pro (45mm). The smartwatches are available for purchase from Hukut Store.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 were the highlights of the Galaxy Unpacked event this year. However, Samsung did announce other exciting products as well, including its second-only “Pro” buds. And the new Galaxy Buds 2 Pro is now available in Nepal as well. So, let’s take a look at the specifications, features, official price, and availability of the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro in Nepal.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro Overview:
Design
At first glance, there is not a lot going on in the design front of the new Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. As suggested by the initial renders, Samsung is sticking to the tried and tested design of the Buds Pro. The earbuds and the charging case of the Buds 2 Pro look exactly like the ones on its predecessor.
However, Samsung says the new Buds 2 Pro is 15% smaller and more comfortable to wear. The new “ergonomic design” is said to ensure a more secure fit with reduced movement in the ear.
Furthermore, the earbuds retain the original Buds Pro’s IPX7 water resistance. Samsung is even offering the same original color options, albeit under new names: White, Grey, and Bora Purple.
Active Noise Cancelation (ANC)
Galaxy Buds Pro had the most advanced noise cancelation of any product in the lineup. Samsung has taken that and made it more advanced on the new Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. As per the company, the new “Intelligent Active Noise Cancellation” can cancel “even the loudest ambient noise”. Apparently, the buds can be effective against noise of up to 33dB.
Ambient mode lets in the ambient noise so that the user can have a conversation without having to take the buds off. Users can have it automatically activated under the special conversation mode.
Moreover, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro boasts studio-quality sound and improved 360° audio for the digital surround sound experience. The latter is available on the latest Galaxy devices running One UI 4.1.1 or newer edition.
Then there is 24bit Hi-Fi sound that requires One UI 4.0 or newer. In addition, the buds support HD Voice which will separate the user’s voice from other noise making him/her more audible.
Battery and Charging
On a full charge, Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro can last up to eight hours with it extending up to 29 hours with the charging. This is with the ANC turned off. With the noise cancelation turned on, you can expect the endurance to be hours 5 and 18 hours, respectively.

The Legion 5 Pro was one of the best gaming laptops on the market last year. Combining beefy hardware with a commendable design and a 16:10 screen, it quickly gained a special place in my heart. So, what’s it like this year? Does the new Legion 5 Pro live up to the legacy of its predecessor? Well, to nobody’s surprise the answer is yes. The Legion 5 Pro Gen 7 keeps everything great about the previous generation and improves on it. Aside from the generational updates, there are a few changes here and there. So, let’s take a look at the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2022) in this full review.
Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2022) Specifications:
Design&Build: Plastic/anodized aluminum hybrid build, 359.9 x 262.4 x 19.9 mm, 2.49 kg
Okay, the first thing I want to talk about here is the design, since Lenovo has further simplified the looks of the Legion 5 Pro this time. While last year’s model featured a big glowing “Y” logo on the lid, this time it’s replaced with a simple “Legion” text. The keyboard color also matches the body now, which adds to the flush minimal look of the device.
That aside, it still has that same top-notch build quality that I like: the same TrueStrike keyboard, and the same build materials. For me, its build quality leaves no room for complaints and I think it is one of the best-looking gaming laptops out there.

Unfortunately, it still comes with the same comically large power brick. I don’t know if I should use it to charge my laptop or build a house with it! Jokes aside, you are looking at a package of over 3 kg which is sure to take a toll on your back if you move around with your laptop a lot.
But that bulk is not for nothing, the Legion 5 Pro packs a 16” display on a 15.6-inch chassis. And like last year, this is a fine trade-off in my books. Anyway, there is not much to talk about the design because most of it has remained the same. It is as if Lenovo found the perfect formula and stuck with it, which is not bad in itself.

Talking about formulas that work, the display isn’t that different this time either. And once again, I can’t help but be amazed by it! I mean, just look at its specs: a 16” QHD screen with a smooth 165Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, and 500 nits brightness; all while boasting 100% sRGB gamut? Okay Lenovo, just take my money. Furthermore, there’s also a 240Hz option this time around.
The laptop comes pre-calibrated and you can even choose between different color profiles like sRGB and Rec. 709 inside the X-Rite Color Assistant app. We measured its contrast ratio at 1070:1, which is slightly lower than what we got on last year’s model, but it leaves no room for complaints in terms of viewing angles and white balance.

Brightness
In our tests, we found that this screen covers 99% sRGB and 77% P3 gamut. So apart from gaming and media consumption, this thing is good enough for photo editing and similar workloads as well. At 530 nits brightness, Legion 5 Pro’s screen is easily visible outdoors too. And setting it at 50-75% was comfortable enough for my eyes in a well-lit room.
Like most gaming laptops, the screen has an anti-glare coating which makes it easy to use when you have a bunch of light sources directly reflecting onto the display. And whether you are gaming, coding, or reading up stuff, this 16:10 aspect ratio makes a big difference. All in all, the Legion 5 Pro’s screen surpasses most of the competition in this price bracket.
Keyboard
Backlit full-size keys (4-zone RGB)
Getting to the keyboard, our unit has 4-zone RGB lighting, whereas it is also available with a simple white backlight. On the other hand, there’s also the “Glacier White” version which looks quite elegant with its blue backlit keys.
I prefer the Legion TrueStrike keyboard over the keyboards on most other gaming laptops. It gives off a decent tactile feel when gaming and typing. The keycaps are not wobbly, and the full-sized keys are a delight to type on.
You can also switch between the lighting modes from the Lenovo Vantage app or with the Function + Spacebar shortcut. But like last year, the RGB lighting here is not the brightest, even though the letters and secondary functions are uniformly lit.
Trackpad
And I was also expecting Lenovo to implement a glass trackpad this time, but I guess that was too much to ask for. While the Legion 7 lineup gets the glass trackpad treatment, Legion 5 Pro users are still stuck with the mylar plastic trackpad. By no means is this trackpad bad, but it simply cannot compete with the smoothness of a glass one.
Audio
2x 2W side-firing speakers
Supports Nahimic audio
And this guy houses the same speaker setup as we’ve seen before as well, between the frame and the lower half of the laptop. Like the trackpad, these dual speakers are just okay for a gaming laptop. The bass feels recessed and the mids outshine everything else. After some tinkering in the Nahimic app, I was able to get a slightly immersive audio experience though.
Webcam
720p HD camera
E-camera shutter
Moving on, it’s 2022 but the webcam here is still a 720p unit. That’s disappointing but nonetheless, I found it to be usable for attending video conferences. And this camera-kill switch is always a welcome feature too.
Performance
AMD Ryzen 7 6800H CPU (45W TDP)
NVIDIA RTX 3060 140W (discrete GPU)
16GB DDR5 RAM, 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD
Well, let’s now talk about the most important aspect of a gaming laptop, the performance! This year, you can pick up the Legion 5 Pro configured with an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H or a Ryzen 7 6800H. Lenovo has discontinued the usage of RTX 3050 here and the GPU options you have now include RTX 3060, 3070, and 3070 Ti.
And my Legion 5 Pro is configured with the Ryzen 7 6800H CPU and NVIDIA’s RTX 3060 GPU with 140W TGP. Memory-wise, you’re looking at 16GB DDR5 RAM in dual-channel and 512GB of M.2 NVMe SSD. This particular model retails at NPR 235,000 here in Nepal and around INR 147,000 in India.
This is the first Ryzen 6000 series equipped laptop to arrive in our office and I was quite eager to find out how different it is from Intel’s 12th Gen processor. So I fired up a bunch of benchmarks right away. And it seems that the 12th Gen is still the leader as far as raw performance is concerned. The Asus TUF F15 with Core i7-12700H CPU pretty much dominated Ryzen 7 6800H on basically every test. It is ahead by 10-15% on Cinebench R23 and we can notice similar results on other benchmarks like 7 Zip, V-Ray 5, Corona, and PugetBench as well.

Gaming
Okay, let’s now talk about its gaming performance. Playing CS: GO at Very High settings, the Legion 5 Pro managed 317.7 fps on average with a 1% low of 100.7 fps. Strangely enough, this is higher than the TUF 15. Likewise, the Legion 5 pro easily sailed through GTA V and Borderlands 3 at High preset with over 100 fps on average.
Hitman 3, on the other hand, yielded an average of 65.8 fps in Ultra settings. And similar to the TUF 15, I didn’t find any notable improvement when dropping the settings to medium.

Playing Control on Ultra with ray tracing set to High was a decent experience with fps averaging at 55.5. Or 68.5 fps on Medium settings. On the other hand, CyberPunk 2077 is basically unplayable with just 32.8 fps on average on Ultra settings without DLSS. But you can get much better gameplay at Medium settings instead. And when turning off ray tracing completely, the Legion 5 pro averages at an impressive 102 fps.
Cooling
Okay, that brings me to the cooling side of things. Compared to its predecessor, Lenovo has significantly upgraded the cooling system this time, with what it calls “Coldfront 4.0”. It also claims that the fans are now 140% more powerful while the blades are 40% thinner too. It also has a dedicated copper block to further cool the CPU.
And yes, the thermals here do live up to Lenovo’s claims. Even after multiple sessions of gaming, putting my hands on the keyboard deck did not feel uneasy at all. I recorded a temperature of 45.5°C when playing CyberPunk 2077 on medium, where the heat was mostly localized to the area between the Enter and the power button. On the other hand, the temperature jumped up to 47.1°C after about 20 minutes into Hitman 3 on Ultra preset.
Quiet fans
As for the fans, you will hear them only when the laptop goes through some CPU and GPU-intensive workload. Thus, I found myself using it in Performance mode most of the time. Oh, and a neat touch that Lenovo has added here is the color-coded notification light on the power button, so I can immediately tell if the laptop is running on performance, balance, or quiet mode.
Battery
80 Watt-hour 4-cell battery
300W AC power adapter
In terms of battery, this year’s Legion 5 Pro has the same 80Wh cell as its predecessor. But despite this, I was getting around one or two hours of additional screen-on time here. In my general usage, it lasted me 4 to 6 hours on average, with brightness set to 75% and enabling the Balanced power profile.
And you can get much more than 6 hours of screen-on time by switching to iGPU-only mode and limiting the refresh rate to just 60Hz. However, this does come with a significant performance drop, so I’d only use it when there’s a power out or something.
But when you need to fill it up, this 300W charger is a proper tank. While it provides a stable power supply and stays relatively cool, the sheer size of the thing is rather intimidating. Anyway, it can take Legion 5 Pro from 0 to 100% in about 2 hours. There’s also Rapid Charge support in case you’re in a hurry and quickly need some juice before you head out.
Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2022) Review: Conclusion
Okay, let’s wrap up this review of the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (2022). And it’s no surprise that the 2022 edition of Lenovo Legion 5 Pro gets a big seal of approval from me. Granted its AMD CPU is not as powerful as Intel’s 12th Gen processors, but the gains in terms of battery life and thermals are hard to overlook. Plus, it also has an incredible display and a solid build quality, which makes it an easy recommendation.
The fact that the bulky power brick is the only setback of the Legion 5 Pro speaks volumes. So yeah, if you are looking for a reliable gaming laptop in this price range, bagging this year’s Legion 5 Pro won’t disappoint you a bit.
