Sony PlayStation Price in Nepal [Updated 2025]

Technological progress has elevated gaming experiences, from the joy of classic games like Mario on old desktops and Snake on Nokia phones to the thrill of modern games like Cyberpunk and GTA V on the latest console. In this article let’s talk about the newest Sony PlayStation including its full specifications, availability, and price in Nepal.

Sony PlayStation in Nepal

Nepa Hima Trade Link is the authorized distributor of Sony products in Nepal. So along with the Sony smartphones, cameras, and TVs, PlayStation is made available all over Nepal through the Nepa Hima Trade link. Currently, the PS5 PlayStation is available in Nepal through an authorized vendor. That includes the PS5 Disc and Digital variants. Since the discontinuation of the PlayStation 4 series, it is no longer available in Nepal. Although, you can get yourself a secondhand PS4 in marketplaces if you don’t want to spend a fortune on a gaming console.

1. PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro)

The PS5 Pro is Sony’s mid-cycle refresh announced in 2024. It features a beefier GPU and a design iteration over the original PS5. While the PS5 and the PS5 Slim shipped with the same hardware and promised similar levels of performance, the PS5 Pro is much more powerful in terms of graphics prowess promising an uplift of up to 45% in games.

The PS5 Pro GPU has a performance of 16.7 TFLOPS from the 10.28 in the base variant while it also has 67% more compute units and 28% faster memory. With that, you can enjoy more stable native 4k gameplay on big TVs and achieve higher FPS numbers too.

But besides that, there aren’t many other changes compared to the Slim or original, it’s slighter and taller than the Slim but has the same thickness as a digital edition. Oh, you also don’t get a disc drive by the way but you can purchase and mount one separately. The internal storage has also been upgraded to 2TB to accommodate larger games, and there’s a new AI upscaling tech called PSSR, which is exclusive to the PS5 Pro.

Finally, the console also supports VRR, 8K output, and WiFi 7 and has improved hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

PS5 Pro Specifications:

Dimensions (WxDxH)	Digital: 15.2 in × 3.5 in × 8.5 in, 3.1kg
CPU	3.5/3.85GHz AMD Ryzen Zen 2 8-core/16-thread

The official price of the Sony PlayStation 5 Pro in Nepal is NPR 135,000. You can buy it via our affiliate partner Hukut Store.

2. DualSense Wireless Controller

The new DualSense controller is a significant part of the PS5 experience, building upon the legacy of the DualShock 4 with improved haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on the L2 and R2 buttons. The controller’s design has changed to accommodate these enhancements and a built-in microphone array. The “Share” button has been replaced with a “Create” button for more personalized content sharing, and the light bar has been repositioned for legacy support.

The controller now sports a two-tone color scheme, a departure from the single color tone of previous controllers. The design is more modernized and ergonomic than the Dual Shock 4 controller. It is a bit heavier and larger though at ~ 280 grams compared to the ~210 grams of the previous generation.

All in all, these improvements make the DualSense a compelling upgrade over the DualShock 4. And it is highly recommended to complete that PS5 experience.

The PlayStation DualSense controller’s official price in Nepal is NPR 20,000.

Model Name	Price in Nepal

3. PlayStation 5 Slim

While this is a revamped version of the original PS5, it does not get a new name. Though we are referring to the console as ‘Slim’, Sony isn’t. It is simply the “PlayStation 5” with a ‘new slimmer size’. And talking of the size, the newer PS5(s) are 30% less in volume compared to the standard variants.

The disc model now weighs 3.2kg which is over 18% lighter than the current PS5 (3.9 kg) and the digital version weighs 2.6kg which is over 24% less than the current PS5 Digital Edition (3.4 kg)-without the detachable disc drive that is.

Detachable Disc Drive

A new feature of the newer PS5 or the PS5 Slim is the ‘detachable drive’.

On purchase, you can decide to get a disc variant of the PS5 Slim or a disc-less one. But that choice is no longer permanent. Sony is also selling a detachable Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Drive which you can attach to your “Digital” PS5 Slim. This additional purchase will cost you extra though and weigh about 600 grams.

But despite the smaller footprint, the PS5 SLIM doesn’t get a performance downgrade. It still houses the same CPU, GPU, and RAM. You do get a sweet storage upgrade though from 825GB to 1TB. So, you can basically think of the Slim as a regular PS5 but in a smaller package.

PS5 Slim Specifications:

Dimensions (WxDxH)	Disk Variant: 14.1in × 3.78in × 8.5in, 3.2 kg
Dimensions (WxDxH)	Digital Variant: 14.1in × 3.14in × 8.5 in, 2.6 kg
CPU	3.5GHz AMD Ryzen Zen 2 8-core/16-thread

PlayStation PS5 Slim Price in Nepal [Updated 2025]

The PlayStation 5 Slim (Disc Edition) price in Nepal is now Rs. 95,000 after the latest price drop.

Gaming Console	Price in Nepal
Sony PlayStation 5 Slim Disc Edition (1TB SSD)	~~Rs. 110,000~~ Rs. 95,000

4. PlayStation 5 (PS5)

There are two variants of the Sony PlayStation 5. The only difference between the two is the availability of an optical drive, since the standard edition is equipped with a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive that the Digital Edition lacks. The new Sony PlayStation 5 sports a futuristic look. Sony is right in its claim that the design is bold, stunning, and unlike any previous generation of PlayStation.

The black and white color scheme on the console matches the DualSense controller that the company showcased months ago. It is well complemented by the blue lighting effect as well. The Standard Model is recognizable thanks to the bulge because of the incision of the disc drive. The Digital Edition doesn’t have that and is thus, less bulky.

The PlayStation 5 (PS5) brings substantial improvements over its predecessor. It is equipped with an 8-core, 16-thread CPU that can reach up to 3.5 GHz compared to the PS4’s 8 Jaguar Cores running at 1.6 GHz. Similarly, its GPU has 36 CUs (Compute Units) at 2.23GHz, offering 10.3 TFLOPs (variable frequency), which is a substantial improvement over the PS4’s 18 CUs at 800MHz, providing 1.84 TFLOPs1. The newer Sony console also has double the memory of the PS4, boasting 16GB GDDR6 compared to the PS4’s 8GB GDDR5. Moreover, games also load a lot faster thanks to a custom 825GB SSD on the PS5.

PS5 Specifications:

Dimensions (WxDxH)	Disk: 15.35 in x 4.1in x 10.23 in, 4.5kg
Dimensions (WxDxH)	Digital: 15.35 in × 3.62 in × 10.23 in, 3.9kg
CPU	3.5GHz AMD Ryzen Zen 2 8-core/16-thread
GPU	Custom AMD Navi/ RDNA 2 Family (10.3 TFLOP)
System Memory	16GB GDDR6
Storage	825 GB
Bluetooth	Bluetooth 5.1
Wi-Fi	802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax Wi-Fi 6
Optical out	No
AV out	HDMI 2.1
Power consumption	218W max

HDR	Yes
USB	USB 3.2 (x2), USB 3.2 (x1)
USB-C	USB 3.2 (x1)
PSVR support	Yes

Since the newer PS5 slim costs about the same as the PS5, there might be very little incentive to buy it all at full price. But, it might be worth it since they have dropped in price since launch. Do note that, Sony has confirmed that they will not be making any more of the (older) PS5s and only sell the newer PS5 (Slim), so you might have to hurry.

PlayStation PS5 Price in Nepal [Updated 2025]

The official price of the Sony PlayStation 5 in Nepal is NPR 80,000 for the standard edition and NPR 73,500 for the Digital Edition after the latest price drop.

Gaming Console	Price in Nepal
Sony PlayStation 5 Disc Edition (825GB SSD)	~~Rs. 105,000~~ Rs. 80,000
Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (825GB SSD)	~~Rs. 90,000~~ Rs. 73,500

5.PlayStation PS4

Here’s the thing: the PlayStation 4 has been discontinued worldwide since the release of the PlayStation 5, and this includes Nepal. This means that the Sony PS4 can no longer be bought through authorized channels in Nepal. However, you can still purchase it through other means, such as the grey market. Searching for a PS4 in the grey market can be challenging, and if you’re lucky, you might find a new one; otherwise, it’s unlikely. Nevertheless, you can still acquire a PlayStation 4 second-hand from platforms like Facebook Marketplace and HamroBazar. The PS4 price in Nepal ranges from NPR 22,000 to NPR 35,000.

Is the PS4 Worth Buying in 2025?

It depends. The decision to buy a PS4 in 2025 largely depends on the types of games you want to play. Games like Battlefield 2042, Apex Legends, and Borderlands 3 are available on both PS4 and PS5. However, games exclusive to the PS5 cannot be played on the PS4. If you want a larger 4K experience with better performance, you might want to spend a bit more and go for the PS5.

The PlayStation has three variants; PS4, PS4 Slim, and PS4 Pro. Pro is the bigger one with better performance and a smoother refresh rate. At the same time, the Slim variant is more sleeker and lighter in design while having identical performance.

OPPO A5 Pro with Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 launched in Nepal

OPPO dropped the OPPO A5 Pro 5G with the MediaTek chipset in December 2024 and then gave it a global makeover last month. Now, its 4G version with a Qualcomm chipset has arrived in Nepal as well. Let’s take a closer look at what the OPPO A5 Pro 4G brings to the table, alongside its full specs, availability, and official price in Nepal.

OPPO A5 Pro 4G Specifications

Design and Display

When it comes to design, OPPO is playing it safe but stylish. The Chinese version of the A5 Pro flaunts a premium finish with a circular camera island, while the global version opts for a rectangular island with curved edges. The Mocha Brown color is a constant on both the 4G and 5G versions. While the 5G has a unique Bloom Pink combining pink, sky blue, and purple colors, the 4G version comes in sleek Moss Green and Blue Slik (combines blue and white) shades.

On the front, the phone boasts a 6.67-inch HD+ (1604 x 720 pixels) LCD screen with a peak brightness of 1000 nits and a smooth 90Hz refresh rate to keep things moving. For durability, it comes with IP66, IP68, and IP69-rated for dust and water resistance.

It can survive being submerged in 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes and even hot water jets up to 80°C. This is quite really impressive considering that this is a just budget phone.

Plus, it’s passed 14 military-grade durability tests, which will put you on the safe side in case of accidental drops. On top of that, the phone uses a Gorilla Glass 7i and AGC DT-Star D+ glass for protection which makes it a “tough guy” in the group. For security, you’ll also find a side-facing fingerprint scanner.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, the OPPO A5 Pro packs an octa-core Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 chipset, featuring four Cortex-A73 and four Cortex-A53. Not to mention, the 5G features a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. For graphics, the 4G variant uses the Adreno 610 GPU. So you will be able to perform your everyday tasks smoothly but I won’t recommend you this phone for gaming.

Furthermore, the device packs 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and a spacious 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage. You will also get a microSD slot for additional space.

On the software side, it runs ColorOS 15 based on Android 15. As for power, the 4G A5 Pro is backed by a big 5,800 mAh battery and it supports 45W SuperVOOC charging support. The phone gives you the watch time of 17 hours straight. OPPO claimed that the battery will retain at least 80% of its original capacity even after 4 years.

Camera and Rest

The camera is not that impressive to write home about. For photography, the A5 Pro 4G features a dual-camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera and a 2MP monochrome sensor for capturing depth effects. Yes, an ultra-wide sensor is missing! You will get to shoot videos at 4K up to 60fps using the main camera.

In front, it comes with an 8MP front camera for clear photos and video calls and tops out at 1080p up to 30fps. Additionally, the device supports Bluetooth 5.0 and uses a USB-C port for charging. It also offers dual SIM support, Wi-Fi 5, and dual speakers for immersive sound.

Design: Sleek design, monotone pattern
Protection: IP69 water resistance, military-grade durability
Display: 6.67-inch HD+ LCD, 1000 nits brightness, 90Hz refresh rate
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1

Vivo V50 Lite 5G launches with a high price tag!

Vivo launched Vivo V50 Lite 4G in Turkey a few days ago. And now the company has added a 5G model to the V50 Lite. The phone comes with a MediaTek 6300 chipset unlike the Snapdragon 685 in the 4G model. In this article, we will discuss the Vivo V50 Lite 5G including its specifications and price in Nepal.

Vivo V50 Lite 5G Overview

Design and Display

The design of the Vivo V50 Lite 5G remains identical to the 4G model with a flat-edged design, a matte finish on the back and a pill-shaped camera island. Upfront, it features a 6.7-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a resolution of 1080+ and a peak brightness of up to 1,800 nits. For security, the device includes an optical fingerprint sensor beneath the screen.

The phone is IP65 rated which means it’s dust-tight and can withstand weak water jets. Additionally, Vivo provides a custom protective case that uses air-cushion technology to safeguard the screen from drops and tumbles. The Vivo V50 Lite 5G comes in Titanium Gold, Phantom Black (with a purple tint), Fancy Purple, and Silk Green color options.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, the Vivo V50 Lite 5G is powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, featuring 2 Cortex A76 cores and 6 Cortex A55 cores. For graphics it has a Mali-G57 MP2 GPU. This combination should handle everyday tasks smoothly and even offer decent performance for gaming. Moreover, the phone comes with either 8GB or 12GB of LPDDR4X RAM, along with 256GB or 512GB of UFS 2.2 storage. However, there is no microSD slot for additional storage which I think is a bit of a downside. On the software end, you will get an Android 15.

As for the battery the device boasts a large 6,500mAh batter which Vivo claims will retain at least 80% of its capacity even after 5 years of usage. A full charge provides up to 10.5 hours of gaming which is something impressive for a device with such a large battery.

Camera and Other Features

The Vivo V50 Lite 5G features a 50MP Sony IMX8882 main sensor, accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide camera. Notably, the ultra-wide camera was absent in the 4G model. There’s also a 2MP helper camera alongside the main sensor. For selfies, the phone is equipped with a 32MP front camera which is the same as the 4G version.

For connectivity, this handset supports Bluetooth V5.4 and is expected to feature Wi-Fi 5 (AC). Additionally, the phone has stereo speakers and a ring flash on the back, enhancing the audio and photography experience. Other than that, you will also get an AI Erase 2.0 tool.

Vivo V50 Lite 5G Specifications

Design: Flat-edged with a matte-finished back and pill-shaped camera island
Display: 6.7-inch OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, 1080+ resolution, 1,800 nits peak brightness
Protection: IP65 dust and water resistance, optical fingerprint sensor
CPU: MediaTek Dimensity 6300 (2 Cortex A76 + 6 Cortex A55 cores)
GPU: Mali-G57 MP2
RAM: 8GB or 12GB LPDDR4X
ROM: 256GB or 512GB UFS 2.2 (No microSD slot)
Rear Camera: 50MP Sony IMX8882 (main) + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP helper camera
Front Camera: 32MP
Battery: 6,500mAh, 10.5 hours of gaming, 80% battery health after 5 years
Connectivity: Bluetooth V5.4, Wi-Fi 5 (ac), stereo speakers, ring flash

Vivo V50 Lite 5G Price in Nepal and Availability

The Vivo V50 Lite 5G is priced at €400 for the 12GB/512GB variant in Spain. So once it becomes available in Nepal, we can expect the price of Vivo V50 Lite 5G to be around NPR 62,000 which I think is really overpriced given that the 4G is expected to be around 32,880.

One UI 7 review: Experience on a midrange and a flagship Samsung phone

OneUI in the current scene, is arguably the best Android skin. Its latest iteration, the One UI 7 speaks volumes on this. But just because the UI is good, doesn’t mean it will work the same across every Samsung smartphone. For this exact reason, I tested the OneUI 7 on a midrange and a flagship Samsung phone. And I’ll be sharing my experience with everything in this One UI 7 review.

One UI 7 Review on a Midrange and a Flagship Samsung Phone

So let me reveal the phones I have tested the One UI 7 on, which are none other than the newly launched Samsung Galaxy A56 and Samsung Galaxy S25. The former is a midrange or let’s say premium midrange and the latter is a flagship device.

Similarities

User Interface, Animation, and Icons

The One UI 7 feels almost identical on both of these phones. Be it the notification bar or the Bubbly App icons, it’s hard to find the difference. Likewise, the brightness and volume sliders are bundled, which is quite similar to iOS. Meanwhile, the toggles don’t come with labels any more, providing more space in the process. And this new notification panel is something that I adore much about One UI 7 and the battery icon looking similar to the iPhone is also acceptable. And as for the animation, it’s imminent that a flagship phone would feel snappier than a midrange guy.

One UI 7 Review on Samsung A56 and Samsung S25 — Left:- S25 Right:- A56

Vertical App Drawer, Finally!

One thing I really didn’t like about the One UI was its app drawer. It didn’t let me choose the vertical mode, which I’m more fond of. Now finally on the latest iteration, you can do that. Just hit the sort option after clicking the three-dot menu and choose “Alphabetical Order” and voila!

Now Bar

Both the Galaxy A56 and Galaxy S25 enjoy the new Now Bar, a pill-shaped bar, that can show ongoing and live activities. I wouldn’t call it a copy of Apple Dynamic Island though, it’s similar but also different. It only shows on the lock screen while playing music, recording voice, or charging the phone. Overall, this add-on the One UI 7 is a welcome addition.

What’s Different?

Now let’s address the difference between One UI 7 on a flagship phone and a midrange Samsung phone. Apart from chipset, design, display, and performance, a company would also differentiate on the software side for sure. And here’s what I have found so far.

Lockscreen Customizations

Long pressing the lock screen, you can access the customization menu, and here’s where the differentiation begins. S25 allowed me to change the lock screen elements like the clock, add frame, and add cool effects while on the A56, I could only tamper with the clock font and add widgets. No fancy effects, frames, or AI suggestions on this midrange guy.

AI features

And the next cut-off is on the AI features. The flagship Galaxy S25 enjoys Galaxy AI features such as Call Assist, Wiriting Assist, and much more. On the contrary, the Galaxy A56 is confined to a few basic AI features. Thankfully, the magic eraser and Portrait studio feature are present. Actually, Samsung terms it Intelligent Features on the A56 while it’s Galaxy AI on the flagship S25. So, you know, there is that. By the way, you can have a look at the screenshots below to find the AI features on both devices.

One UI 7 Review on a Midrange and a Flagship Samsung Phone: Conclusion

In conclusion, One UI 7 stands out as one of the most refined Android ROMs available. It’s ell-polished, well-optimized, and entirely ad-free, delivering an impressively smooth experience. The redesigned notification panel and enhanced lock screen customization add to its appeal, though the latter is fully realized only on the flagship S25, while the A56 misses out. That said, the core UI elements and overall user experience remain consistent across devices.

Of course, hardware plays a role—flagship chips make the interface feel even snappier, while lower midrange Samsung devices running One UI 7 may not feel as fluid. Still, Samsung’s commitment to providing an ad-free, well-optimized software experience remains a strong suit, and the latest iteration continues this legacy.

Ultimately, the experience across midrange and flagship Samsung devices remains largely similar, apart from Galaxy AI features and certain lock screen customizations exclusive to high-end models.

Asus Zenbook 14 (Q415) review: Best ultrabook under 1 lakh?

Asus Zenbook 14 (Q415) review: Best ultrabook under 1 lakh?

Macbooks have kinda been the go-to ultrabooks for anyone serious about snappy performance and long-lasting endurance not to mention their top-notch chassis and ridiculously optimized macOS. But despite the recent price drops and bang-for-buck offerings like the Macbook Air M4 (review coming soon), there’s still something missing: a sub-700-dollar ultrabook. Sure, you can still get the M1 Air (2024 review) here in Nepal for around that 1 lakh mark, but that guy is almost 5 years old at this point. So, what are your options?

Well, I found this guy when searching for a Macbook competitor under 1 lakh rupees (<750 USD). It’s the Asus Zenbook 14 (Q415MA) with Intel’s Core Ultra 5 Meteor Lake chipset for just NPR 86,999 (~630 USD)! Here’s a quick overview:

Asus Zenbook 14 (Q415) review:

Seeing the spec sheet for the first time had me thinking somewhere along the lines of:

The display looks wonderful, the chipset is an apt performer for the price, and the large 75Wh battery looks promising but …

That RAM, that underwhelming 8GB of soldered LPDDR5 memory, might just be the one thing holding it back. And let’s just say, I kinda called it even before my first stroke on the keyboard.

Display

14″ WUXGA OLED 16:10 display (anti-glare finish)
60Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB, 99% DCI-P3 color gamut
350 nits brightness, 550 nits HDR peak

Let’s start this review off with one of the primary highlights of this Zenbook. The Zenbook 14 Q415 is one of the very few if not the only ultrabook (right now) to offer a gorgeous OLED screen for under 1 lakh rupees! The resolution and refresh rate aren’t anything to write home about but the vibrancy and the brightness are what really sell it for me.

It looked stunning from the get-go with poppy colors and a slight spice of added saturation alongside a glossy finish. Watching the newest episode of Solo Levelling was such a treat that I began craving a movie or two, especially with those above-average pair of speakers. The tall 16:10 ratio with thin bezels gives it that hint of premium often missing in affordable ultrabooks, say the Swift Go (review) or similar.

Thanks to all that, the multimedia experience on the Zenbook is awesome and if you want to play around, there’s touch support too.

The screen goes all the way back (180°) when you want to share something with your colleagues or just use it flat on the table but I am not really an avid touch user (on laptops) so it doesn’t feel like a big deal to me

1 of 3

Design and build

312.4mm x 220.1mm x 14.9mm (W x D x H)
1.28 kg

Housing that beauty of a screen is a premium-feeling metal body that’s a rare find in the segment. The chassis is solid with no deck flex at all but that display seems to wobble at times. My unit also makes a very slight creaking noise when I try to use the touchscreen but this might be an isolated incident and your mileage may vary! Regardless, for the price the build quality is top-notch!

Oh, the Zenbook 14 is also super lightweight and easy to lug around.

It’s only a hair heavier than my Macbook Air but I’d give in those few extra grams for a larger screen any day of the week. It’s also pretty sturdy with a MIL-STD-810H rating against extreme temperatures, drops, and vibrations, and has sustainability in mind too. The Zenbook uses 50% post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) with fully recyclable packaging.

The Zenbook also wins in the keyboard department for me.

Keyboard and Trackpad

Full-size keys without Numpad, 1.4mm travel
Multi-level white backlight
Precision trackpad

Now, this is probably a controversial take but I prefer the Zenbook’s keyboard over a Macbook Air’s. The key travel in a modern Macbook Air is just so short (1mm) that you don’t get the same punch as munching down on a Zenbook. Don’t get me wrong, the Macbook still feels way more polished in terms of fit, feel, and finish but the feedback part is just better on my Zenbook Q415MA.

Well, I wish I could say the same thing about this trackpad though. It’s still a league above most trackpads in Windows’ ultrabooks with a smooth glass-like coating and decent clicks. But can’t match Macbooks man, they are just that good when it comes to touchpads. Again, not exactly a fair comparison when you compare an 85k-ish Zenbook to something at least 40-50% more expensive. Under the 1 lakh segment, it’s probably one of the best trackpads out there.

Performance

Intel Core Ultra 5 125H (28W base power)
14 cores / 18 threads, 4.5 GHz max turbo frequency
8GB LPDDR5X RAM, 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD

And that goes for the processor too! The Core Ultra 5 125H is a balanced fusion of power and efficiency with its mixed cores and newer fab process that you find in ultrabooks around the 1 to 1.25 lakh mark.

There are a total of 14 cores, only 4 of which are heavy-lifting P cores (@ up to 4.5GHz) while the majority are efficiency cores (@ up to 3.6GHz)…. There’s also something new here: Low-Power Efficiency or LPE cores that kick in during lightweight tasks like video streaming, web browsing, and background processes.

Asus Zenbook Q415MA Review - Geekbench 6 score comparision — CPU Benchmark

I must say, I am impressed! The single-threaded performance is snappy and quick while I was also getting awesome battery life on the regular. The benchmark scores are also not too bad on short & bursty tests but there’s a slight catch which I’ll get to in a minute.

Normal usage is totally a breeze and I’d say the Zenbook doesn’t heat or make a ton of noise when jotting down scripts on the couch at all..but..there’s one MAJOR problem.

The elephant in the room

The 8GB RAM is just not enough for any more-than-casual user in 2025! Don’t get me wrong, the Zenbook is a piece of art when all I wanna do I watch a movie on its OLED screen, or type out a few quick articles in Microsoft Word but it falls apart QUICKLY once you start to do more.

And ‘more’ here isn’t even that much by today’s standards. Anything more than 15 chrome tabs will slow the entire system down and trying to multitask becomes a frustrating experience. Same thing with games.

Gaming

An ultrabook without any discrete graphics is not exactly a gaming beast, but the new Intel Arc graphics do promise anywhere from 30-50% gains over Iris Xe. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with our Zenbook over here. Due to its RAM limitation, the iGPU on the Zenbook 14 Q415MA loses the ‘Arc’ branding and has boring regular ‘Intel Graphics’. The benchmark scores are praiseworthy but the real-world gaming experience leaves a lot to be desired.

I only wanted to play two FPS shooters on this thing: Valorant and CS2… and I am disappointed; partly due to the 8GB RAM but also because of the terrible thermals. On paper, the Zenbook pulled a respectable 170ish FPS average on 1080p Low on Valo but the chassis boiled up. I measured over 50 degrees on some parts of the chassis and HWMonitor reported OVER 100 degrees internally for the CPU. Those are crazzzy high numbers and it’s clear that this Zenbook is not designed for any sustained heavy workload. With that message clearly conveyed to me, I decided not to push the Zenbook any harder in this regard.

Cooling and Fan Noise

But how’s the heat doing normal people stuff like watching videos or college assignments? Quite Alright actually. The Zenbook gets warm if you use it while charging but besides that, I wouldn’t worry about getting uncomfortable during typical usage. Fan noise is also not going to be a problem for casual users but it’ll spin up quite a bit under load.

Battery

75 Watt-hour battery
65W power adapter (USB-C)

The battery life is awesome though and I was getting a full workday on a single charge consistently through the week. I also ran our typical endurance benchmark which runs a local 1080p video on a loop at 150 nits of brightness and the Zenbook 14 Q415 achieved an awesome 16 hours! This is where the new Low Power Efficiency cores shine because a similar ultrabook with an older 13th-generation processor would struggle to cross 11-12 hours.

Quite not MacBook level of endurance, for that you’d have to look for Intel’s newer Lunar Lake architecture but more than a notable improvement from older generations.

Webcam

HD (720p) camera
Physical privacy shutter

Although I love the privacy shutter implementation here, the webcam itself is just a 720p sensor and struggles a bit with noise and clarity especially if you are not in a sufficiently lit setting. But the Windows Hello Facial Recognition is a nice addition that you’ll surely appreciate. The Zenbook skips out on a fingerprint sensor which would be faster but having your device unlock just by looking at it feels just as sci-fi as it did back in 2017 when I used the iPhone X for the first time.

Asus Zenbook 14 2024 (Q415) review: Conclusion

Is the Zenbook Q415 jack of all trades that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a laptop under 1 lakh? Maybe not! But it’s the perfect little machine for a student or office guy who’s just there to Netflix and chill after a long day of work. It keeps cool and quiet during a typical office day and lasts surprisingly long too. Quite handy to carry around, and feels premium to use as well. That’s a combo you just won’t get under 1 lakh in too many cases!

Asus Zenbook 14 (Q415) review: Pros and Cons

• Absolutely stunning screen	• 8GB soldered memory
• Premium feeling chassis	• Heats up quickly

Vivo Y19e arrives with UniSoC T7225 chipset and 5,500 mAh battery

Vivo has quietly launched the Y19e a new model aimed at the affordable market. The original Y19 came out in 2019, and the Y19s debuted in 2024 which shows a significant gap between the two. Now the company is introducing a 4G version under the name Y19e. Let’s dive into the Vivo Y19e including its specifications and the expected price in Nepal.

Vivo Y19e Overview

Design and Display

Vivo seems to be lazing out in terms of design for its budget phone. I mean the new Y19e looks almost identical to the Vivo Y29s 5G, which itself resembled the Vivo Y04 4G. The design features flat edges and a sleek finish which isn’t particularly exciting but certainly looks modern. The color options include a Gold variant with a shimmery finish and Majestic Green. It measures 167.3 x 76.95 x 8.19mm and weighs about 199 grams. For durability the phone is rated with an IP64 certification for water and dust resistance, which is great for a budget device. Furthermore, it has a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button for added convenience.

The front of the phone features a 6.74-inch display with HD+ resolution. The display supports a 90Hz refresh rate which offers a smoother experience than typical budget phones. With a pixel density of 260 PPI it’s not the sharpest but is decent for everyday use. The wet touch support is a nice bonus and the waterdrop notch houses the front camera.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, the Vivo Y19e is powered by the UniSoC T7225 chipset. It has two ARM Cortex A75 cores running up to 1.8 GHz for better performance and six Cortex A55 cores for efficiency. This gives the device a balanced performance, though it’s still an entry-level chipset. For graphics, it comes with the ARM Mali G52 MP1. The phone runs on FunTouch OS 14 based on Android 14 which should provide a clean and responsive user interface.

The Y19e comes with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of internal storage. On top of that, you can expand it by up to 2TB via a dedicated microSD slot. In terms of battery, the device houses a 5,500 mAh battery and 15W wired fast charging support. For a budget device this battery capacity and charging speed are quite impressive.

Camera and Additional Features

In terms of cameras, the Vivo Y19e features a 13MP main camera with an f/2.2 aperture along with a secondary 0.08MP camera. For selfies you will get a 5MP front camera with an f/2.2 aperture that will handle basic selfie needs.

For connectivity, the Y19e supports Bluetooth 5.2, ensuring reliable and fast connections with other devices. The phone also comes with AI Erase and AI Photo Enhance features, which can be useful for improving photo quality.
