Red Magic 7S Series official with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, up to 18GB RAM

Following the unveiling of the Asus ROG Phone 6 series, Nubia has launched its own Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered gaming phones. The newly announced Red Magic 7S series is the “slight” upgrade over the original lineup launched in February. In this article, we will be discussing the specs, features, expected price, and availability of the Nubia Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro in Nepal.

Nubia Red Magic 7S, 7S Pro Overview:

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1

Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro are mid-year refreshes, and thus, do not boast significant upgrades or changes. The most noticeable change in Nubia’s latest gaming phones comes in the form of the chipset. Here, the company has turned to Qualcomm’s latest flagship offering.

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 on the Redmi Magic 7S and 7S Pro is 10% faster in CPU and CPU performance compared to the 8 Gen 1 on the regular Red Magic 7 and 7 Pro.

The transition from Samsung to TSMC’s 4nm process means the new chip is 30% more power-efficient as well. Furthermore, it supports the latest LPDDR and UFS standard, which Nubia has utilized.

In addition, the Red Magic 7S series comes with Nubia’s in-house GPU frame stabilization engine. It consists of a five-layer rendering buffer, TC frame supplementation, and Magic Write Magic Sketch that helps gain more fps in games.

For instance, Nubia claims the Red Magic 7 and 7 Pro can average 59.7 fps and 120 fps in Genshin Impact and Honor of Kings with a standard deviation of 0.4 and 0.3, respectively.

ICE 9.0 Magic Cool

The two phones even managed to keep their temperature in check during the said gaming test. Nubia reported surface temperatures of 39.5-degree Celsius and 38.8-degree Celsius in the two tests, respectively.

It all because of the improved ICE Magic Cool technology, which is now in its ninth generation. RedMagic 7S series makes use of both active and passive cooling methods.

At the heart of the Red Magic 7S series’ cooling system is a centrifugal fan of 20000 RPM. It works alongside the shark fin vortex air duct, graphene + n-hexane phase change material, and vapor chamber to keep the core temperature of the phone in check.

More For Gamers

On the right-hand side of the Magic 7S series, Nubia has included two shoulder buttons that can be programmed for different in-game functions. The keys have independent ICs and boast sampling rates of 520Hz.

Gamers can project gameplay from the Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro to a bigger screen. The new Red Magic 7S series supports 120fps wireless projection of up to 120fps.

Moreover, you can connect a keyboard and a mouse directly to the phones and have a PC-like gaming experience. Users can even livestream their game along with facial capture.

Nubia Red Magic Series features stereo speakers with DTS and Snapdragon Sound. Furthermore, it has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a three-mic setup.

Display

Nubia Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro feature the same-sized screen as their predecessors. You are looking at a 6.8-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with 10-bit color depth and DC Dimming.

Still, you can tell between the two phones by observing the top bezels. The regular Red Magic 7S has bigger bezels as it has to house a selfie camera. The Pro gets away with an in-display selfie camera and thinner bezels.

1 of 2

Moreover, the regular 7S refreshes at 165Hz, whereas the Pro model is restricted to just 120Hz.

Rest of the specs

Nubia Red Magic 7S and 7S Pro also differ in battery sizes. The vanilla model has a 4,500mAh battery, whereas the Pro model has a bigger 5,000mAh cell. The supported charging speeds are 120W and 135W, respectively. Nubia ships the phones with a 165W GaN PD charger that you can use to charge laptops and other accessories.

Cameras are not really a priority for gamers. As a result, Nubia has decided to keep it unchanged from the Red Magic 7 and 7 Pro. Likewise, both these devices will utilize new wireless standards like WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless communication.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Graphics Cards Price in Nepal [Updated]

In this article, you can find the latest price list of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards available in Nepal, along with the full specs, features, price, and availability in Nepal.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Overview:

GeForce RTX 3080 was part of the initial 30-series lineup that was announced in September of 2022. Like the rest of the lineup, it is based on the new Ampere architecture and thus, brings features such as improved Tensor cores and RayTracing cores. In addition, Ampere-based cards, RTX 3080 included, boast smarter and faster memory.

The reference model of the RTX 3080 follows NVIDIA’s dual axial fan design that maximizes thermal performance through effective heat dissipation. The card features a front-facing fan, an exposed fin stack, a hybrid vapor chamber, and a backside fan that work together to optimize airflow for a quieter and cooler gaming experience.

If you are in the market looking for an RTX 3080 card, you will find that there are basically two variants of the card GPU. The biggest difference between the two lies in the VRAM memory. The higher-end version comes with 12GB of GDDR6 RAM whereas there are also models with 10GB of the said memory.

It’s only natural that they have different-sized memory lanes as well. The two cards also have an unequal number of CUDA cores and start at different base clock speeds.

It was the 8GB variant of the RTX 3080 that was announced first. The 12GB variant came more than a year later. It has been speculated that NVIDIA was compelled to launch the card with just 8GB of VRAM because of the peak silicon shortage. However, as the situation eased, the company followed it with a 12GB version.

That being said, NVIDIA is rumored to have stopped the production of the 12GB RTX 3080 altogether. Dipping GPU prices, the presence of the 12GB 3080 Ti model, and upcoming RTX 40-series GPUs are said to have contributed to the cause.

Key Specifications:

CUDA cores: 8960 / 8704
Boost Clock: 1.71 GHz
Base Clock: 1.26 GHz / 1.44 GHz
VRAM Memory: 12GB / 10GB GDDR6

Random Access Memory, or RAM, in short, is one of the major components to consider whenever you are building a new PC or updating an existing one. However, you can be overwhelmed with the number of options and the wide price range of RAM in Nepal. So, to help you make the best buying decision, we have compiled the list of the best RAM sticks (modules) that you can currently buy in Nepal at their official price.

What is RAM and what does it do?

RAM (Random Access Memory) is responsible for storing all the information relating to processes and threads being processed. When you run a program on a computer, related data and files (otherwise known as pagefile) need to be loaded onto the RAM. The system then uses the data in processing to give you the result you require.

There are programs that require more RAM than others. Generally, high-end games and programs that deal with large media files require higher RAM storage. Not having enough RAM may result in a laggy experience. It can even cause freezing and random boots. At times, your system will also display a “Memory Getting Low” error message.

How much RAM is enough for a Nepali user?

We recommend you have at least 8GB of RAM in any PC you built in Nepal, even if it’s a budget one. Today, it is the bare minimum, especially if you are going to install Windows on it. Microsoft has set the minimum RAM requirement for the latest Windows 11 at 4GB.

However, running Windows 11 machine with just 4GB of RAM, the experience will be anything but fluid. Even if all you do is watch movies, listen to music, and browse the internet, 8GB of RAM is the way to go. This way, you will also be able to do light multitasking.

However, if you are more of a heavy user, it is wise to have at least 16GB of RAM at your disposal. This is especially true for gamers. Most modern AAA titles require at least 16GB of RAM. Moving on, a PC for 4K video editing will require at least 32GB of RAM.

Things to consider before upgrading RAM in Nepal

There are a few considerations to make whenever upgrading RAM in a system. While it is not applicable to PCs, there are laptops where RAM upgrades are not possible. This is mostly the case with Ultrabook and thin-and-light notebooks, where manufacturers solder the RAM into the motherboard to save space for other components.

If your system has replaceable RAM then you can think of upgrading them. A lot of it will depend on your systems like the no of sticks that can be inserted, the maximum capacity, and the form factor (DIMM/SODIMM).

Do you really need the latest DDR5 technology?

You will also have to pay attention to the generation of the RAM module. The latest RAM standard is DDR5, but being a new-gen product it’s both expensive and hard to get in Nepal. There is just a handful of laptops and PC Motherboards with DDR5 RAM compatibility in Nepal.

The adaption of DDR5 RAM in the Nepali PC market is even slower. Most of the mainstream PC builds in Nepal today still use DDR4 RAM, which is the best option if you want to balance price and performance.

If it is an older system (PC or laptop) that you are trying to give a new life to, you will have to check the compatibility of the motherboard. Your system might just support DDR3 or DDR2 RAM, in which case it won’t be wise to waste money on newer RAM.

Is mixing RAM harmful?

The best practice is to use identical RAMs in a system. Most RAM manufacturers sell RAM sticks in pairs or kit packages, and you can find them in Nepal as well. These are the best options if you are planning a new PC Build.

But if you are upgrading an existing system, you might be tempted to use newer RAM with older ones. And it won’t be a problem if you are using RAM modules of exact same model. But mixing two RAMs of different origins can cause a problem.

Theoretically, you can get away by using a stick of the same speed and voltage. Mis-matching RAM sticks of different speeds will result in the faster stick running at a slower speed to match the other stick. It’s the same if you mix RAM sticks of different voltages.

Single vs Dual Channel Configuration

Another factor to consider during RAM upgrade is the channel configuration. System memory can run either in a single channel or a dual-channel configuration. To make out the best of your memory, make sure to install it in a dual-channel configuration.

But the process is not as simple as slotting in two memory sticks. Modern motherboards can have more than two memory slots with certain slots designed to work together. Thus, you need to go deep dive into your motherboard specifications to figure out which slots to use.

It’s possible to use a higher storage RAM with a lower one. In this case, the lower capacity RAM will pair with a certain portion of the other stick in dual-channel RAM. The remaining portion of the higher memory RAM will work in a single channel. This is also called Flex Mode.

PC in Flex Mode won’t work as fast as in dual-channel configuration. However, if you are upgrading an old system, it should not be a major concern.

Memory Timing and CAS Latency

DRAM manufacturers tend to promote speed over any other parameter. And for most users, it is all that matters. However, advanced users, like those into overclocking, also pay attention to the Memory Timings.

You see, the frequency that you see on the product box is the maximum frequency possible. Most often, the RAM won’t run at the advertised speed right out of the box — the actual speed will depend upon the RAM standard and motherboard compatibility.

For you to use the full potential of your RAM, you need to overclock them. In this context, overclocking means tweaking the timing of the RAM. In simple terms, timing represents the interval working of the RAM. It is often represented as a set of four numbers differentiated by a dash “-”.

For example, you might encounter a memory with 16-18-18-36 timing. Each number stands for a certain phase of RAM’s internal mechanism. The most popular parameter of the four is the CAS Latency. It is the first number in RAM Timing and denotes the number of delays (in the clock cycle) between a data being requested and the time that RAM starts sending the data.

As a rule of thumb, the lower the CAS Latency, the better the performance of RAM. The same can be said about the rest of the timing parameters.

Is RGB necessary?

Some RAM even comes with its own RGB lighting. These RGBs do not have any effect on the performance and are there for the purpose of aesthetics alone. Unless you are building a gaming rig that you want to show off to your friends you will be better off with non-RGB RAM modules.

How to buy RAM in Nepal?

Not all DRAM manufacturers have their official distribution network in Nepal. Some brands do sell their products via official distribution in Nepal, but they are hard to get and even when you do find them the price is usually high. As a result, most consumers turn to individual importers for RAM. These importers bring in a wide range of RAM from different brands and belonging to different price ranges in Nepal.

The price of RAM in Nepal doesn’t remain the same as the market for PC components is always changing. Still, you can use the given price list as a reference whenever you go shopping for a new card. In addition, we will be updating this price list based on the latest market trend.

Best Gaming Mouse To Buy At Every Price Range In Nepal [Updated]

Selecting the perfect mouse can be pretty daunting, especially in Nepal. At the same time, good mice are available, but the unfair pricing on some leaves you desiring more. Following up on the best mechanical keyboards list, I have rounded up the best gaming mouse you can buy in Nepal at every price range.

Best gaming mouse in Nepal 2022 (Summary)

The mouse is undoubtedly the most crucial peripheral when it comes to PC gaming. Pinpoint accuracy is a must, as even the slightest movement matters when it comes to excelling competitively. To achieve the full potential, one must not be bottlenecked by their gaming PC and the peripherals.

S. No.	Gaming Mouse	Price in Nepal
01	Fantech X16 Thor II	Rs. 1,699
02	Razer Viper Mini / DeathAdder V2 Mini	Rs. 3,600 / Rs. 3750
03	Fantech Helios Go XD5	Rs. 8,499
04	Razer DeathAdder V2	Rs. 10,000
05	Glorious Model O	Rs. 10,000
06	Razer Viper 8KHz	Rs. 11,500
07	Razer Naga Trinity	Rs. 14,000
08	ROCCAT Kone Pro Air	Rs. 14,000
09	Logitech G Pro X Superlight	~Rs. 35,000

Best Under Rs. 2,000

Fantech X16 Thor II

While the Fantech X16 does not provide top-tier performance, it is one of the best gaming mice you can get for around NPR 1600. The design is reminiscent of brands like Logitech and Razer, which is not bad.

The mouse does not feel cheap but neither does it feel too premium. For the price, you get a 1000Hz polling rate, adjustable DPI (200-4,200), tons of RGB, and also macro capabilities. The only downsides of this mouse are its heavy weight, lack of onboard memory, and sub-par skates.

It does not slide as well on the mousepad, but you will likely not face any issues while playing FPS games. However, I suggest you save a bit and consider the next mouse in this list.

Fantech X16 Thor II Key Features:

PixArt 3519 Sensor
Up to 48 IPS / 10G Acceleration
Customizable RGB
Adjustable DPI 200 – 4,200DPI
1000Hz Polling Rate
1.8m Braided USB Cable
Price in Nepal: Rs. 1,699

Best Under Rs. 4,000

If you have Rs. 4,000 to spend on a mouse, don’t think twice and just get the Razer Viper Mini. The Razer DeathAdder V2 Mini is a valid option, too, as they share a lot in common. These two offer the peak of what you can get for under 4K.

Razer Viper Mini

The Razer Viper Mini is a super lightweight mouse at only 61 grams. The sensor accuracy on this mouse is top tier, and the magnificent low latency is all gamers could ask for. More so, the braided cable does not obstruct mouse movement.

The Razer Synapse software allows the user to reprogram every button on the mouse. Overall, the Razer Viper Mini does not leave any room for complaints.

However, if you have bigger hands, you might face some issues depending on your grip style.

1 of 2

As I mentioned, the DeathAdder V2 Mini and the Viper Mini are the same mice. The choice boils down to whether you like Viper’s semi-ambidextrous shape or DeathAdder’s ergonomic one.

Razer Viper Mini Key Features:

61g lightweight ambidextrous design
Razer Optical Mouse Switch
Razer Speedflex Cable
Up to 300 IPS / 35G Acceleration
Up to 8,500 DPI
Razer Chroma RGB Underglow
100% PTFE Mouse Feet
Price in Nepal: Rs. 3,600

Best Under Rs. 10,000

For the best gaming mouse in Nepal under Rs. 10,000, we have three picks, each different from the other. While the DeathAdder V2 and Glorious Model O are wired, Fantech’s Helios Go XD5 offers wireless connectivity as well.

Fantech Helios Go XD5

The Helios Go XD5 from Fantech is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse. It comes with the popular Kailh GM8.0 switches and PixArt 3370 sensor. It can be used both wired and wirelessly. Just make sure you set the debounce to 0ms via the companion software for the best wireless gaming experience.

The provided paracord Type-C cable is lightweight and doesn’t produce drag while gaming. Likewise, the PTFE feet offer minimal resistance.

The build quality is decent but not the best. Due to the removable top cover, the mouse tends to squeak time and again. Also, the scroll wheel steps aren’t as well defined. Regarding performance, the mouse excels with no jitter or lags whatsoever.

Fantech Helios Go XD5 Key Features:

PixArt 3370 Sensor
72g Lightweight Design
Up to 400 IPS / 50G Acceleration
Adjustable DPI 800-19,000 DPI
1000Hz Polling Rate
Kailh GM8.0 Switches
Running RGB with 7 RGB modes
1.8m Type-C Paracord
Up to 40H battery life
Price in Nepal: Rs. 8,499

Razer DeathAdder V2

Razer’s DeathAdder lineup is iconic, and every gamer once had it on their wish list. Best suited for palm grip, the DeathAdder V2 provides super-low latency and a customizable CPI range. Compared to previous models, there is a visible improvement in the cable and feet quality.

The mouse is quite large, so it might not be suitable for claw/fingertip gamers with smaller hands. The Razer Synapse 3 software provides tons of customization but is not available for macOS.

However, as it has onboard memory, you can customize it on a Windows machine and then use it on Mac. But we are here for gaming and nobody games on a Mac. So, it should not be an issue.

Razer DeathAdder V2 Key Features:

Ergonomic Design / 82g weight
Razer Optical Mouse Switch
Razer Focus+ Optical Sensor
Razer Chroma RGB
Up to 650 IPS / 50G Acceleration
Up to 20,000 DPI
Price in Nepal: Rs. 10,000

Glorious Model O

The Glorious Model O features the popular honeycomb design that many desire. Speaking from personal experience, cleaning the dust buildup is a dreadful experience. Nonetheless, almost every best gaming mouse round-up mentions the Model O in one way or the other.

At 67 gm (103 gm with cable), it is one of the lightest mice on this list. Compared to the Deathadder V2, it has higher latency and lower maximum CPI but lower weight.

Pick this over the DeathAdder V2 if you like the lightweight ambidextrous body and the perforated honeycomb design.

Glorious Model O Key Features:

67g lightweight honeycomb design
Pixart 3360 Sensor with 1000Hz polling rate (1ms) and 0.7mm life-off distance
Proprietary 2.0m Ascend Cord braided cable
G-Skate Feet made 100% Virgin PTFE
Up to 12,000 DPI.
Fully customizable RGB lighting
Price in Nepal: Rs. 10,000

Best Under Rs. 15,000

There are plenty of gaming mice available for under 15K. But, in our opinion, the ROCCAT Kone Pro Air is the best gaming mouse in Nepal at this price point. Alongside being priced reasonably, it also packs a ton of features.

There is also the Razer Viper 8KHz which comes with an astonishing 8,000Hz polling rate for fluid mouse movements.

Well, for the MMO gamers, you can’t go wrong with the Razer Naga Trinity and the versatility it provides.

Razer Viper 8KHz

The Razer Viper 8KHz is exactly what the name suggests. It has a truly ambidextrous design with additional buttons on both sides. Compared to a normal Viper, it has a higher 8KHz polling rate, better cable, and better feet.

This means that the mouse provides fluid cursor movement while feeling well-built and lightweight. Despite not having a honeycomb body, the mouse weighs only 101 grams (cable included).

Razer Viper 8KHz Key Features:

71g True-Ambidextrous Design
Razer 8000Hz HyperPolling Technology
Razer Focus+ 20K DPI Optical Sensor
2nd-gen Razer Optical Mouse Switch
Up to 650 IPS / 50G Acceleration
Razer Chroma RGB
Price in Nepal: Rs. 11,500

ROCCAT Kone Pro Air

The ROCCAT Kone Pro Air is an extremely good wireless mouse that weighs only 72 grams. It has 3 connection modes: Bluetooth, 2.4GHz dongle, and wired.

It is a well-balanced ergo mouse suited for claw grip. Likewise, the build quality is very sturdy and it features unique shine-through RGB on the buttons.

You get a top-tier mouse for the top-tier price you pay. However, a wired-only version of the mouse is available for under NPR 10,000.

ROCCAT Kone Pro Air Key Features:

Ergonomic shape
Wireless + Bluetooth, with USB-C Rapid Charge
Lightweight Bionic Shell – 75g
Titan Switch Optical
Heat-treated pure PTFE glides
ROCCAT Owl-Eye 19K DPI optical sensor
Price in Nepal: Rs. 14,000

Razer Naga Trinity

The Razer Naga Trinity is a jack of all trades, but master of none. Three interchangeable side panels allow it to be used for both FPS and MMO games.

The multiple-button layout offers a lot of flexibility. It’s fantastic, especially for MMOs, but its weight, size, and rigid cable keep it from being perfect.

Razer Naga Trinity Key Features:

120g right-handed form factor
Razer 5G optical sensor, 16,000 DPI
Up to 450 IPS / 50 G Acceleration
3 interchangeable side panels: 2, 7, and 12-button configurations
Razer Mechanical Mouse Switches
1000Hz Polling Rate
Price in Nepal: Rs. 14,000

Best Premium Gaming Mouse in Nepal

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight is the best mouse you can buy in Nepal right now, but….. the elephant in the room, it’s incredibly overpriced in Nepal, and the lack of availability is a huge issue.

I’d suggest you go with the Kone Pro Air instead. But, if money is no constraint, you can get the G Pro X Superlight.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight

This is the best mouse money can buy right now in Nepal. From the design to the performance, it outperforms the majority of the competition globally. The mouse’s weight is distributed far better than any other on this list, weighing only 63 grams.

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight has a secure shape, making it suitable for the majority of users. Similarly, the coating Logitech uses on the body is strangely satisfying. Not to mention the star of the show, Logitech’s flagship Hero 25K sensor.

If we’ve to nitpick, the buttons, especially the side ones, are a little underwhelming. Another complaint is the lack of Bluetooth connectivity, which is unimportant for gaming.

The GPX Superlight’s skates work well, but Logitech does not include a replacement. So if you ever need a replacement, go for the Superglide glass skates for optimum performance.

The Logitech G Pro X Superlight Key Features:

63g lightweight design
Hero 25K sensor: 100 – 25,600 DPI
1000Hz Polling Rate
Up to 400 IPS / 40G Acceleration
No-additive PTFE Feet
70h battery life with constant motion
LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, Onboard memory
Price in Nepal: ~Rs. 35,000

It is available in two color options: Force Black and Snowfall White. While this boxy design appears to be rather modern, Infinix has chosen a U-shaped notch on the front.

In terms of display, you’re looking at a 6.7-inch Full HD+ AMOLED panel with a DCI-P3 color gamut. Sadly, there is no support for higher refresh rates here, although it does come with a 180Hz touch sampling rate.

The main difference is in the rear camera, which includes a 50MP primary lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and an AI lens.
