Mi Watch Lite with a built-in GPS now available for purchase in Nepal

After multiple leaks and rumors, Xiaomi launched the Mi Watch Lite in December of last year. It is a smartwatch for budget-conscious users and has more familiarity with a fitness tracker instead. And now, Xiaomi Nepal has brought it here. Let’s take a look at the specs, features, official price, and availability of the Mi Watch Lite in Nepal.

Mi Watch Lite Overview:

The Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite is actually a rebrand of the Redmi Watch, which is exclusive to the Chinese market. With that out of the way, allow me to discuss more about the Mi Watch Lite.

Design and Display

Here, this smartwatch sports a 1.4-inch square display. Since it’s an entry-level smartwatch, Xiaomi has opted for a TFT LCD panel instead of AMOLED. The display has a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels, resulting in a 323 PPI pixel density. Likewise, the typical brightness level of the watch is listed at 350 nits. Similarly, the watch covers 60% of the NTSC color gamut. The watch comes with 120 customizable watch faces.

Taking the heart rate sensor into account, it measures 41 x 35mm x 11.9mm. With the TPU strap, the Mi Watch Lite weighs around 35 grams. You can also stay worry-free about water damage on this smartwatch since it boasts a 5 ATM water resistance certification.

Health, Fitness Tracking

Moving on, Mi Watch Lite is able to keep track of 11 workout modes. However, only 10 of them will be available at launch. The company has promised to include Cricket in future OTA upgrades. It has a PPG optical sensor that can record changes in the heart rate. The watch can also record resting heart rate data for up to 3 days. Similarly, Mi Watch Lite also supports sleep tracking but it’s unclear if it can record REM sleep. Also, the watch provides breathing exercises.

Mi Watch Lite - Display

Mi Watch Lite is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Users of both platforms will need to download the Xiaomi Wear Lite app and Xiaomi Wear app, respectively to analyze the data.

Rest of the features

Another highlight of this smartwatch is the built-in GPS navigation. Thus, it can keep track of trajectory, speed, and distance without requiring a phone. Other smart features include notifications, music playback control, weather report, and Find phone.

Xiaomi is claiming 9 days of battery endurance on normal usage with the 230mAh battery. However, the number is drastically reduced to just 10 hours with continuous GPS usage.

0

Alongside the new iMac, iPad Pro, and the AirTag, Apple also updated the Apple TV 4K. Compared to the 2017 version, this one brings a few upgrades including the A12 processor. Let’s learn more about the Apple TV 4K (2021) including its specs, features, expected price in Nepal, etc.

Apple TV 4K (2021) Overview:

Like I mentioned earlier, the latest Apple TV 4K comes with the A12 Bionic and an upgraded Siri remote. The inclusion of the A12 chip offers a major improvement in graphics output, video encoding, and audio processing. This streaming box also supports HDR videos at 60 frames per second as well as Dolby Vision for improved picture quality.

Apple also mentioned that they are collaborating with leading content providers including NBCUniversal and Fox Sports where they will continue to stream high frame rate content in HDR.

Apple TV 4K 2021 - Siri Remote

2021’s Apple TV 4K can work with the iPhone to increase picture quality. It compares the color balance to industry-standard specifications using the iPhone’s light sensor. With the gathered data, it can automatically customize your TV’s video quality to provide more realistic colors and better contrast, all without having to change any settings on the TV.

Siri remote 2021 Apple Tv

Another notable upgrade lies in the Siri remote. It has been entirely redesigned adding a new clickpad control with five-way navigation. Users can also access the “jog” button by swiping their finger around the outer ring of the clickpad, which is useful for locating a certain scene in a movie or show. As expected, you also get 1 year of Apple TV+ subscription with the purchase of Apple TV 4K. 

Specifications:

  • Size and Weight:
    • TV 4K: 3.9 x 3.9 x 1.4-inches, 425 gm

Dish Home and Prabhu TV are in final talks towards a merger

0

If things go as planned, two of the leading digital TV service providers of Nepal will soon be working under a single brand. Executives of Dish Home and Prabhu TV are in talks with each other over the possible merger of the two companies.

Dish Home and Prabhu TV Plans for Merger

Dish Home is the first Direct-To-Home (DTH) TV service provider in the country. Similarly, Prabhu TV was the first to bring wireless terrestrial TV (DVB-T2) facility in Nepal. Both companies have expanded their service to include internet facilities as well. Dish Home is providing internet facilities to a limited region in the Kathmandu Valley under the Dish Home Fibernet name. Similarly, Prabhu TV has been offering internet service as well.

As per the report, the merger will allow the resulting company to provide TV and internet service under a single brand. Two companies share some common investors, promoters and thus the merger has been regarded as the way forward for the two companies.

TV service providers have been struggling to keep up with the major ISPs that bundle TV services with their internet plans. Similarly, people have also started to turn towards OTT platforms like Netflix which has affected their revenue over the years. Not to forget, TV operators have been complaining about the recently implemented Clean Feed policy too.

In such circumstances, it’s difficult for the companies to grow alone. That’s especially true for Prabhu TV which is relatively younger and has a narrower customer base than Dish Home. With the two companies going for a merger, there will be one less competitor in the market. The resulting company will have a wider customer base and more resources to compete against ISPs and other providers.

According to the sources, the talks of the merger have already advanced and now is in the final stage.

Apple finally unveils the long-awaited AirTag object tracker

1

Apple’s Tile alternative, the AirTag has been a long time coming. In fact, its design was leaked almost a year ago. Designed to let you track your everyday objects with ease, the AirTag joins the likes of Samsung’s SmartTag. Allow me to discuss the Apple AirTag in more detail including its features, specs, expected price in Nepal, etc.

Apple AirTag Overview:

Design

The AirTag comes in a minimalistic circular design with stainless steel build and the Apple logo etched into it. And like other Apple accessories, you can really make it your own by engraving the AirTag with text (4 characters max) or the available emojis. It’s free, of course. Furthermore, it is IP67 dust and water-resistant as well so you don’t need to worry about getting it wet either.

Apple AirTag - Design

At just 11 grams, the AirTag is incredibly lightweight. In fact, it is lighter than Samsung’s SmartTag which weighs around 13 grams. As expected, this thing is battery-operated and takes a CR2032 coin cell battery. With everyday use, Apple says its battery can last over a year. Nice. And when needed, replacing it is quite simple too. Press it, twist it, release it. You can attact AirTag to a key ring, loops or if you feel like a daredevil, skip them all.

Tracking

Now let’s get to the more interesting stuff. The first step in using the AirTag includes setup which is as simple as bringing it close to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. You can also name it depending on what object you’ve attached it to. It is embedded into Apple’s existing “Find My” network and you can view the status of your AirTag in the Find My app itself. It will show you the last known/current location of the device.

In case the lost/misplaced item is within the Bluetooth range, you can use the app to ring the AirTag or simply ask Siri to do so. This will trigger the AirTag to play a sound. On the contrary, when you’ve lost a device that’s particularly far away, the Find My network comes to the rescue.

Under this, the lost AirTag relays Bluetooth signals which are picked up by Apple devices in the network. And if you place your AirTag in “Lose Mode”, then you’ll also get a notification as soon as the device comes within your range or if it’s found in the Find My network.

Precision Finding

A good samaritan is also able to use their iPhone or other NFC-capable devices and tap the AirTag. This will then take them to a website that will display the owner’s contact number, provided that you’ve enabled it beforehand.

AirTag also uses Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology to enable a feature Apple calls “Precision Finding”. Unfortunately, this currently works only with the iPhone 11 and 12 series. As the name dictates, this feature is designed to give you the precise location of your AirTag-embedded object. According to Apple, it uses data from the camera, ARKit, accelerometer, and gyroscope to accurately guide you to the AirTag.

Privacy

Amidst all the location tracking, Apple ensures the utmost privacy and security built into the AirTag. Here, every data transfer in the Find My network is end-to-end encrypted, meaning even Apple won’t be aware of your device’s identity or location. You will also get an alert if someone else’s AirTag is within your vicinity. However, this action is only triggered if the original owner of the said AirTag has placed it in Lost Mode.

Apple AirTag Specifications:

  • Size and Weight: 1.26 x 0.31 inches, 11 grams
  • IP certification: IP67 dust and water-resistant
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth, U1 chip (Ultra Wideband), NFC
  • Battery: User-replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery
  • Others: Accelerometer, Built-in speaker
  • Compatibility: iPhone and iPod Touch with iOS 14.5 or later, iPad with iPadOS 14.5 or later

Apple AirTag Price in Nepal & Availability

It’s available in either a single pack or a pack of four that cost $29 and $99, respectively. A single Apple AirTag is available in Nepal at the price of NPR 5,500 through its official distributors, while a pack of four will charge you NPR 18,000.

Object Tracker Price in the US Price in Nepal (Official)
Apple AirTag (1 pack) $29 NPR 5,500
Apple AirTag (4 pack) $99 NPR 18,000

Amazon sets up a hair salon that uses AR for “a new salon experience”

0

Amazon has experimented with brick-and-mortar stores multiple times. The latest one being a hair salon in London. Yes, you read that right. Amazon Salon will be integrating technologies like AR (Augmented Reality) into hairstyle services.

Amazon Salon Overview:

The Amazon Salon is set over two floors on Brushfield Street in London’s Spitalfields. It expands over more than 1,500 sq. ft of physical space.

Customers at the salon will be able to experiment with different hair colors without even trying them on physically. As mentioned earlier, this will use augmented reality and virtual colors. Similarly, each styling station has a Fire tablet and a dedicated creative area for users to capture their new look.

There is a screen between any two styling stations. Similarly, customers will have to wear face coverings. Amazon says that every piece of equipment will be sanitized once used.

Moreover, the Amazon Salon will also feature new point-and-learn technology. Here, products will be on display on the shelf. Users can simply point at the desired product and retrieve key information on their screen. The key information includes the product’s brand and educational videos. Users can even scan the QR code of the items and have them delivered to their homes.

Elena Lavagni and her team head the hair care and styling services at the Amazon Salon. Elena is the owner of the Neville Hair & Beauty Salon which has been in operation for the past 20 years. With the team, the salon will be offering a full range of hairdressing services for both adults and children.

As of now, it is only open for Amazon employees. The company will soon announce bookings for the general public as well. Amazon says that there is no plan to open such salons in other locations for now.

Features

Backed by Fitbit’s PurePulse technology, the Luxe supports 24/7 continuous heart rate tracking and SpO2 monitoring. It can even give insight into Active Zone Minutes (AZM), Cardio Fitness Score, Breathing Rate, and Heart Rate variability. It can also track your sleep, giving you a Sleep Score depending upon the quality of your sleep. The Fitbit Luxe also comes with a bunch of Stress management tools which include breathing guides, meditations, yoga, and more.

Fitbit Luxe Design and Display

This fitness band can track up to 20 different exercise modes. It also supports automatic exercise detection so you won’t always have to activate them manually. The tracker is water-resistant up to a depth of 50m and thus can be used to track swimming.

Fitbit claims up to five days of battery life on the Luxe on a single charge. There is also a Special Edition of the Fitbit Luxe which comes with a stainless steel Parker Link Bracelet made by gorjana which is a Laguna Beach-based jewelry brand. You can even experiment with a wide variety of accessories.

Fitbit Luxe Price in Nepal and Availability

Fitbit Luxe is already available for pre-order in the US for $149.95. The Special Edition is a little pricier at $199.95. We can expect the price of Fitbit Luxe to start at NPR 22,000 if and when it launches in Nepal.

BenQ GV1 portable projector with built-in speakers launched in Nepal

0

The BenQ GV1 is a portable projector with a trendy design. The vast majority of portable projectors are flat slabs. But, this one’s actually a mini-tower that resembles a Bluetooth speaker. Despite this, it is genuinely compact, lightweight, battery-powered, and completely wireless. So, without further ado, here are the specifications, price, and availability of the BenQ GV1 in Nepal.

BenQ GV1 Overview: 

Design

The BenQ GV1 measures just 155 x 80 x 80mm and weights 708gm. It is very lightweight and small enough to fit into any bag. The upper portion of the device can be tilted up 15-degrees to align the image comfortably on your screen. Moreover, its “auto keystone” feature ensures that the projection stays aligned every time

BenQ GV1 Design

I was initially perplexed by the bottom-half speakers. Yes, it has a Bluetooth speaker in the lower half and a projector in the upper half. The speaker boasts an audio output of 5W. Moreover, there are buttons on the top to turn on the projector, volume up/down, and a control switch for switching between projection and speaker modes. The focus key is located on the right side of the projector.

Connectivity

In terms of connectivity, there is a power input as well as a USB-C port that allows you to connect the laptop with USB-C video out capabilities. However, it lacks an HDMI port. Furthermore, a remote control is also included in the package. If you prefer controlling it via your Android/iOS device, you can use the BenQ Smart Control app. The projector runs a customized version of Android which needs only a few steps to set up.

Projection

It can project a picture as large as 100 inches. While it only has a 480p resolution and a brightness of 200 lumens, it does allow Full HD playback. The battery life is claimed to be three hours, which should be sufficient for most movies. Besides that, it can project over 16.7 million colors.
