Infinix Hot 10 Play Review: Good Performance, Better Battery

Infinix Hot 10 Play is the company’s latest offering in the Nepalese market. The phone is a toned-down variant of the Hot 10 which is yet to launch in Nepal. In this review, we will be talking about how the Infinix Hot 10 Play performs in day-to-day life and everything else you’d want to know about it. Before going forward, let’s see what the phone has to offer specs-wise.

Infinix Hot 10 Play Specifications:

  • Display: 6.82-inches TFT IPS LCD panel, 90% screen-to-body ratio
  • Resolution: HD+ (1640 x 720 pixels), 20.5:9 aspect ratio
  • Chipset: MediaTek Helio G35 (12nm)
  • Memory: 2/4GB RAM, 32/64GB storage (expandable)
  • Software& UI: XOS 7.0 on top of Android 10
  • Rear Camera: 13MP primary lens, AI sensor, Quad-LED flash
  • Front Camera: 8MP with dual flash
  • Security: Physical fingerprint sensor (rear-mounted)
  • Audio: Single speaker, 3.5mm headphone jack
  • Connectivity: Dual SIM (Nano-SIM), WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth, Micro USB, OTG
  • Battery: 6000mAh with 10W charging
  • Colors: Obsidian Black, Morandi Green
  • Price in Nepal: Rs. 15,990 (4/64GB)

Infinix Hot 10 Play Review:

Design and Build

  • Glass front, plastic body
  • Gem-cut design on the back

As you would expect with a device at this price range, the body of Infinix Hot 10 Play is completely made out of plastic. Still, you feel or hear any creaking and bending when applying pressure to the phone. Thus, the build is a sturdy one. The Obsidian Black color variant of the Infinix Hot 10 Play that I had for review has a rear panel that reflects and glitters.

Though it attracted quite a lot of smudges and fingerprint marks, the panel does a good job of concealing them. The rectangular camera bump doesn’t protrude much from the rest of the panel. As a result, the phone doesn’t wobble when placed on a flat surface.

The fingerprint scanner has been placed towards the top of an otherwise tall device. I have no complaints regarding the speed and accuracy of the sensor. The power button and the volume rocker are placed on the right side of the device. On the opposite side, you get the triple card slot. The phone doesn’t have a dedicated speaker grill thus the earpiece on the top does all the work.

There is a microphone, a micro USB port, and a 3.5 headphone jack on the bottom of the phone. Coming to the hands-on feel, the device does feel heavy. The weight is also not uniformly distributed as the bottom of the phone feels heavier than the top. It’s a tall phone with a curved back that should help when holding it on hand.

Display

  • 6.82-inch HD+ IPS panel
  • Waterdrop notch for the selfie camera

The Infinix Hot 10 Play comes with a 6.82-inch IPS panel that is marginally bigger than the regular Hot 10. However, the resolution is still at HD+. The aspect ratio here is 20.5:9 which makes it taller than any other device in the price range.

Hot 10 Play - Display 2

Coming to the quality, I found the display to have more contrast. As a result, colors look darker than they should. Similarly, pictures are not sharp as you would expect with an HD+ panel. One small note – the display is not protected with Corning Gorilla Glass so don’t forget to apply the protection glass included in the box as soon as you unbox the device.

Performance

  • Octa-core MediaTek Helio G35 SoC (12nm)
  • 2/4GB RAM with up to 64GB storage (expandable)

Under the hood, powering the whole setup is the Helio G35 chipset from MediaTek. Only the 4/64GB variant of the Infinix Hot 10 Play is available in Nepal and it is what we have for review here. I found the configuration sufficient for my day-to-day usage.

Gaming experience

Infinix Hot 10 Play does come with a gyroscope that you can use in games like PUBG Mobile. Talking about PUBG Mobile, you can push the graphics to balanced and frame rate to medium. Similarly, COD Mobile can be played at low graphics and a high refresh rate.

Hot 10 Play - Gaming

Here too, you get the Game mode that allows you to re-map the volume rocker button for an in-game function. Similarly, the Game mode comes with extra optimization for games like PUBG Mobile and Freefire.

In Freefire you can play with graphics set to high and frame rate set to ultra. Similarly, there is a dedicated PUBG mode where you can choose between graphics quality and the smoothness of the gameplay.

The haptics that kicks-in while typing or using navigation don’t work while gaming. Moreover, the phone heats up a little during a long gaming session. You can feel the heat near the camera and the lower portion of the phone. However, it is not that big of a concern.

UI/UX

The phone ships with Android 10 with XOS 7.0 on top. The company’s custom UI comes with pre-installed bloatware, the majority of which can be uninstalled or disabled. You are not getting an ad-free experience either. You will have them on the top of the app drawer and as notifications from the pre-installed apps.

Hot 10 Play - UI

Under the settings, you can find a setting called privacy feature which when enabled will let you know whenever an app uses your camera or microphone.

Camera

  • Dual camera setup at the back
  • (13MP primary, AI lens, Quad-LED flash)
  • 8MP selfie camera with dual-flash

Talking about the camera, the phone has three of them. Don’t let the additional circular layouts fool you – the rear camera module encloses a dual-camera setup. The setup consists of a 13MP primary camera and an AI lens.

Normal Images

For a budget phone, daylight shots from the primary camera are okay-ish. The AI scene optimization is enabled all the time and because of it, you will get boosted colors on certain occasions.

For instance, greens are unnaturally saturated whenever there is greenery in the frame. The photos are also lacking in dynamic range.

Similarly, you will notice a reddish tone whenever there’s a human subject in the frame.

Portrait Images

Though there is an option to shoot portrait shots it doesn’t work most of the time. Instead, it refuses to blur the background and all you get is blown up highlight.

Similarly, the edge detection is not perfect whenever the portrait mode actually works.

Selfie Images

This is true for both the rear and front cameras.

Low-light Images

Despite the AI lens, low-light photos are rich in noise and as a result, cannot retain any detail.

Videography

Coming to the videos, you can record 1080p and 720p videos without any type of stabilization using this phone. You also get an option to record slow-motion videos but don’t expect to be blown away from the end product.

Battery

  • 6000mAh battery with 10W charging

The battery is among the strengths of the device. The massive 6,000mAh battery lasted me a day even during heavy usage. On normal usage, it can last over a day and a half easily.

Hot 10 Play - Charging

Once it’s drained, it takes around 3 hours for the phone to go from 0 to 100% using the 10W charger included in the box. When you connect the charger to the micro USB port, the front flash lights up which is visible when the screen is turned off.

Conclusion

To sum it up, Hot 10 Play is an effort from Infinix to offer a Hot 10-like package at a more affordable price. If you are looking for a budget display with a tall display and long-lasting battery life, you should definitely consider this. The performance is also on par with other budget devices.

However, I strongly believe that the company needs to work on its camera and software if it were to challenge brands like Xiaomi and Samsung in the budget segment.

Infinix Hot 10 Play Review: Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Tall 6.8-inch display
  • Decent gaming experience
  • Great Battery life

Cons:

  • XOS skin needs polishing
  • Unreliable cameras
  • Slow charging, micro USB port

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro with Qi wireless charging launched in Nepal

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro with Qi wireless charging launched in Nepal

After a long wait, Huawei has finally launched Huawei GT 2 Pro smartwatch in Nepal. It is the successor to last year’s Watch GT 2. And right off the bat, there are very few upgrades between the two iterations. Let’s take a look at the new Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro including its specs, features, official price in Nepal, and availability.

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro Overview:

Design & Display

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro - Sport, Classic
Left: Sport | Right: Classic

Watch GT 2 Pro is available in two variants – Sports and Classic. Both of these have the same 1.39-inches AMOLED display with 454 x 454 pixels. Here, both versions also have the same build material consisting of a titanium frame, ceramic back, and a sapphire watch dial. There are altogether two buttons on the side for control (power, function).

However, they do differ in terms of strap options. While the Sports option has silicon straps, the Classic variant boasts a more premium leather-made strap. In terms of watch faces, Huawei says there are over 200 options to choose from. Watch GT 2 Pro is also 5ATM water-resistant (up to 50 meters deep for 10 minutes max).

Health, Fitness, Sleep Tracking

In terms of fitness tracking, there are a total of 100+ workout modes. You can track skiing, snowboarding, and even your golfing data on the Watch GT 2 Pro. Its “Golf Mode” analyzes the pattern of your swing posture to help you improve your stroke. There are 17 professional and 85 custom workout modes in total. Huawei also ships its smartwatches with a voice guidance feature that takes you through your entire workout from start to finish and that is present on the Watch GT 2 Pro as well.

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro - Health Sleep Stress SpO2 tracking monitoring

Furthermore, it is also capable of automatically detecting 6 different types of workouts including indoor/outdoor running, indoor/outdoor walking, elliptical, and rowing. Watch GT 2 Pro also features TruSeen 4.0+ 24-hour heart rate tracking, TruSleep 2.0 sleep monitoring, TruRelax stress monitoring, oxygen-level (SpO2), and VO2Max oxygen consumption measurement. Interestingly, the power consumed by LEDs underneath the watch will also consume less power when measuring SpO2 or heart rate.

Built-in GPS

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro - Route Back

Watch GT 2 Pro also has a built-in GPS. And the new “Route Back” feature makes its excellent use. It records your travel route throughout the session. So, if you’re in some unknown territory and the GPS signal starts getting weak, the watch alerts you and gives shows you the recorded route using which you can safely make your way back to square one. Now, Watch GT 2 Pro can also warn you of any sudden shift in atmospheric pressure.

Using the built-in barometer, the watch alerts you to get to a safe location if the outdoors is unsafe because of the change in air pressure. Moving on, running the whole show is Huawei’s LiteOS powered by the Kirin A1 chipset with 32MB of RAM. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have third-party app support, and neither does it feature actionable notifications.

Battery life

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro - Qi Wireless Charging

Anyway, because of its lite nature, the Watch can last up to 14 days which is incredibly impressive for a smartwatch. With GPS continuously turned on, the endurance drops to 30 hours, and 24 hours with music playback. However, Huawei says you can get up to 10 hours of usage with just 5 minutes of charge. But the highlight of the Watch GT 2 Pro is definitely its support for Qi wireless charging. Smartphones with reverse wireless charging can also juice up this smartwatch.

Other features

And about that music playback, the Watch GT 2 Pro can natively store up to 500 songs in its 4GB of internal storage. With an active Bluetooth connection, one can make calls directly from the watch itself too.

Huawei/Honor smartphones with NFC and running EMUI 11 or later can also enjoy the new “Huawei Share OneHop” feature using which you can easily share photos to the watch with a simple tap. Finally, there’s also the “Remote Shutter” feature for smartphones running EMUI 8.1 or later for remotely taking photos on your watch from the watch.

Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro Specifications:

  • Body: 1.84W x 1.84H x 0.45D-inches; 52gm (without strap); 5ATM
  • Display: 1.39-inches AMOLED; 454 x 454 pixels
  • Strap: Black Fluoroelastomer, Gray Brown Leather
  • Chipset: Huawei Kirin A1 + STL4R9
  • Storage: 32MB RAM, 4GB internal storage
  • Battery: 455mAh; Qi wireless charging (5V/1A)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.1, BLE/BR/EDR, Built-in GPS (with GLONASS, Galileo), NFC (China-only)
  • Software: Huawei LiteOS
  • Companion App: Huawei Health (Android | iOS)
  • Compatibility: Android 4.4 or later, iOS 9.0 or later
  • Sensors: Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Geomagnetic, Optical heart rate, Ambient light, Air pressure, Capacitive

Ripple’s Artifact is a customizable laptop from the Nepali OEM brand

New smartphone brands are frequently entering the Nepali market. Now, Ripple, a Nepal-based OEM has introduced a laptop in the domestic market. And the best thing about it is that it’s fully customizable. So, let’s take a closer look at the Ripple Artifact including its specs, features, availability, and price in Nepal.

Ripple Artifact Overview:

The Ripple Artifact is the company’s first laptop that is available in Nepal. Like I mentioned earlier, Ripple is a Nepali company that assembles various parts of a computer to create a new product. The newly released Ripple Artifact features an Intel Core i5-10300H processor and GTX 1650 Ti graphics card.

In terms of screen size, it has a 15.6-inch IPS display with FHD resolution. You also get a screen with a refresh rate of 144Hz. The dimensions of the laptop are 359.5 x 238 x 21.9mm, and it weighs 1.85 kg.

Ripple Artifact gaming laptop design

You can also choose between Windows and Linux as your operating system. In terms of memory, there is 8GB DDR4 RAM (@2666 MHz) and a 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe solid-state drive. This laptop has a 49 Wh battery. More intriguingly, you have the choice of upgrading or downgrading the device. That is, you can tailor the laptop to your specific requirements. Ripple has already mentioned that the laptop can be customized, and there is an option to configure the processor as well.

Ripple Artifact Specifications:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-10300H
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti
  • Display: 15.6-inch FHD 144Hz (1920×1080)
  • Body: 359.5 x 238 x 21.9mm, 1.85 kg
  • Battery: 49 Wh cell
  • OS: Genuine Windows 10 Professional / Linux
  • RAM: 8GB DDR4-2666 (upgradeable)
  • SSD: 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe (upgradeable)
  • Warranty: 2 years
    **The laptop is fully customizable including processors.

Ripple Artifact Price in Nepal & Availability

I’m sure we’re all waiting to hear the price of the laptop. The Ripple Artifact is priced at NPR 1,20,000 for the standard version. However, there could be a price gap depending on the upgrades and downgrades. Ripple Artifact may be ordered by contacting them via their Facebook page.

Laptop Model Price in Nepal Availability
Ripple Artifact NPR 1,20,000 (Standard Variant) Ripple

Can it compete against others?

As aforementioned, the laptop market in Nepal is dominated by multiple international brands. However, one thing that it’s missing is a new player in the industry. You can see how Chinese smartphone companies were able to gain the trust of tech enthusiasts all over the world; mainly because they were able to come up with comparatively affordable products with a feature set to match.

Starting a business necessitates a lot of determination and skill in order to achieve success. Ripple has stated that they are offering less costly alternatives to products with comparable specifications. And, if it continues to sell laptops at a reasonable price, I believe Ripple will definitely succeed in the Nepali market.

Apple targeted in $50 million ransomware attack by Russian hackers

Apple hosted its Spring Loaded event a couple of days ago, where it launched new iPad Pros, an upgraded iMac, an updated Apple 4K TV, and the long-awaited AirTag. Following the launch, Russian hackers targeted Quanta Computer, a Taiwanese corporation that assembles official Apple products based on pre-supplied product designs and schematics. After breaching Quanta Computer, the hackers have access to Apple product data. Let’s take a closer look at the ransomware attack on an Apple supplier.

Apple supplier under ransomware attack

The Record was the first to report the breach. REvil (a Russian hacker group) is the one to hack the servers. According to The Record, the operators of the REvil ransomware are insisting Quanta pay a ransom amount. Otherwise, they threaten to leak all confidential information on the dark web.

According to the REvil gang, Quanta declined to pay to recover its stolen data. As a result, they have decided to threaten the company’s primary client. Quanta Computer manages a wide range of global products, including HP, Dell, Microsoft, Toshiba, LG, Lenovo, and several others. To be clear, the hacker group has access to Apple’s existing and potential products’ schematics.

The demand

The group reportedly requested $50 million in order to keep the schematics private. After Quanta opted not to pay the ransomware money, the group began publishing the stolen photos on April 20, which coincided with the Apple spring load event for maximum exposure.

Image Source: The Record

REvil is now directly targeting Apple, attempting to get the tech giant to pay up by May 1; and threatens to post new images from the leak every day until then. Moreover, Quanta has made the confirmation on its servers being breached. Although Apple has yet to reply, the leaked picture contains schematics for MacBooks. The leaked image isn’t much sensitive and only contains the data related to assembly information and technical specifications.

To be certain, the design shared by REvil contains information related to the new product, giving credence to the fact that the documents are appropriate.
