iQOO launches Z10 Turbo series with Turbo Pro featuring Snapdragon 8s Gen 4

A while back, there were rumors about the iQOO Z10 series. Recently, the iQOO Z10 and Z10x were officially launched, and now the Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro have also been revealed. In this article, we’ll go over the features and specifications of the iQOO Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro, along with their expected prices in Nepal.

iQOO Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro Overview

Design and Display

The iQOO Z10 Turbo and Turbo Pro are quite similar when it comes to looks and screen features. They both have a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen that shows content in Full HD+ resolution. The display refreshes at 144Hz, which means super-smooth scrolling, and it can go up to 2,000 nits of brightness, which is great for outdoor use.

Both phones also come with an optical fingerprint scanner for quick unlocking. Plus, thanks to their IP65 rating, they can handle dust and water splashes pretty well. You can choose the colors between Black, White, Orange, and Beige.

Performance and Battery

This is where the major differences show up. The iQOO Z10 Turbo Pro runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 chip, which is quite powerful. It has a Cortex X4 core running at 3.21 GHz, three Cortex A720 cores at 3 GHz, two more A720 cores at 2.8 GHz, and two more at 2.02 GHz.

On the flip side, the regular Turbo uses a MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chip, which isn’t as powerful but still solid for mid-high range use. It features a faster Cortex A725 core at 3.25GHz, three A725 cores at 3GHz, and four more at 2.1GHz. This makes it very capable for gaming and multitasking, although the Pro is clearly a step ahead in raw power.

Snapdragon 8s Gen 4

Memory-wise, both models come in either 12GB or 16GB RAM options and offer 256GB or 512GB of storage. Moving on to battery, the Pro has a 7,000 mAh battery with 120W charging support, but surprisingly, the regular Turbo packs an even larger 7,620 mAh battery, though with slower 90W charging. That makes the regular Turbo a better pick for endurance. Both phones can also charge other devices using OTG reverse wired charging, which adds to their utility. Software-wise, they run on OriginOS 5, built on Android 15, which should bring a fresh and updated user experience.

Camera and Rest

Coming to cameras, the Turbo Pro has a solid 50MP main sensor (LYT-600) and an 8MP ultrawide shooter. The regular Z10 Turbo, however, only gets a 2MP depth sensor instead, which feels like a missed opportunity because an ultrawide lens would have added more value. For selfies, both phones feature a 16MP front camera, which should work fine for social media and video calls.

CMF Buds 2 Plus launched with 50dB Hybrid ANC and LDAC support 

0

Alongside the Phone 2 Pro, CMF by Nothing introduced new earbuds to their audio catalog with the CMF Buds 2a, Buds 2, and Buds 2 Plus. The latter is the most expensive (and feature-rich) of the bunch, so in this article, I’ll be briefly talking about its features and specifications, alongside the expected price in Nepal and availability. 

CMF Buds 2 Plus Overview

Design and Audio

From the outside, the new CMF Buds 2 Plus look pretty similar to last year’s Buds 2 Pro but are unfortunately not available in the iconic orange colorway (at least for now).

The Buds 2 Plus ship in either Blue or Light Grey options and are rated IP55 against dust and water splashes. The standout ‘rotating dial’ is here to stay, and you can even customize it to adjust volume, answer calls, or activate the voice assistant alongside playback control. Surprisingly, the vanilla buds get a “transparent” dial, but the plus variant misses out on that.

CMF Buds 2 Plus Audio Features

In terms of audio, the Buds 2 Plus have 12mm LCP drivers with Hi-Res audio and LDAC support. The entry-level Buds 2a misses out, but both the Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus have Ultra Bass Technology 2.0 and Noise Reduction 3.0. That being said, all three earbuds support Spatial Audio and have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).

Noise Cancellation Features

Talking about ANC, the Buds 2 Plus have 50dB Hybrid ANC with Smart Adaptive Mode, while the regular model has 48dB Hybrid ANC, and the Buds 2a have 42dB ANC. The Plus variant also has six microphones in total versus just the 4 on the entry-level Buds 2a.

There’s Clear Voice 3.0 technology for noise-free call audio, and Buds 2 Plus also support customized ‘Personal Sound’ through an ‘audiometry test’. But to use that feature, you’re gonna have to download the companion Nothing X app from your app store.

Battery Life and Extras

In terms of battery life, the Buds 2 Plus last the longest in the lineup with a playback of up to 14 hours (ANC off) on a single charge. With the case, you can extend that up to 61.5 hours. But one thing to note is that both the regular Buds 2 and Buds 2 Plus have the same battery sizes: 53 mAh for the buds, 460 mAh for the case. Moreover, you can get up to 8.5 hours of playback with a quick 10-minute charge.

Using the Buds 2 Plus with a Nothing/CMF phone will enable latency as low as 110ms, which is suitable for latency-sensitive activities like gaming. Moreover, the Buds 2 Plus also offer dual-device connectivity for added convenience.

CMF Buds 2 Plus Specifications

  • Drivers: 12mm custom LCP drivers
  • Sound: High Res Audio, LDAC support, Ultra Bass Technology 2.0
  • Noise cancellation: Smart Hybrid ANC up to 50dB
  • Microphones: 6 (3 per bud), Clear Voice Tech 3.0
  • Audio support: Spatial Audio
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4
  • Pairing: Dual device, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair
  • Battery life: 14 hours (buds), up to 61.5 hours (with case)
  • Water resistance: Buds – IP55, Case – IPX2
  • Companion App: Nothing X
  • Colors: Light Grey, Blue

CMF Buds 2 Plus Price in Nepal and Availability 

The Buds 2 Plus cost INR 3299 and are available for purchase through Flipkart. When they make it here, we expect the CMF Buds 2 Plus price in Nepal to be around NPR 5,999.

Nikon unveils the new entry-level Z5 mirrorless camera

0

Nikon has now expanded its Z-series of full-frame mirrorless cameras with the Z5. Check out the specs, features, expected price, and availability of Nikon Z5 in Nepal.

Nikon Z5 Overview

Design

Nikon Z5 is the latest budget offering from the company and it fits right below the Z6 and Z7. Talking about the design, the Z5 looks strikingly similar to Z6. However, it lacks a secondary display. Also, the body of the Z5 is primarily made up of polycarbonate material.

Nikon Z5 back design EVF LCD tilting screen

Though it doesn’t come with a full magnesium alloy body, the body is still weather-sealed against moisture and other environmental factors.

Features

It features a 24.3MP full-frame CMOS sensor. It lacks the backside illumination technology that is on the Z6. The processor used here is Expeed 6. It comes with a hybrid autofocus system with a total of 273 focus points. Z5’s Eye-Detection AF works with both humans and animals. The shooting speed has been significantly reduced as the Z5 maxes at 4.5 frames per second. To compare, the Z6 can shoot at 12fps per second.

You can shoot 4K videos at 30fps with the new Nikon Z5 but you will have to deal with the 1.7x crop factor. If you wish to make use of the full sensor, you can shoot 1080p video which maxes at 60fps. It also lacks other features like 120 fps slow-mo, ProRes, and N-Log. The camera has 5-axis VR Image Stabilization for Z-mount lenses. It will still support 3-axis stabilization if you use compatible F-Mount lenses without the built-in VR.Nikon Z5 continuous power supply Unlike its older siblings, the Nikon Z5 comes with dual UHS-II SD card slots. Nikon says users can use both simultaneously for overflow storage, automatic backup, or to separate file types. The OLD EVF features 3.69 million dots. The Z5 also features a 3.2-inch LCD tilting touchscreen (1040K dots). Unfortunately, the display is not an articulating one.

Because of the support for USB-C Power Delivery, users can now charge their Nikon Z5 while still being able to use it. Users can also connect the camera to the computer using the port and use it as a webcam. Nikon will be bringing this new feature to other cameras as well with the release of the Webcam Utility software. The software will be launched next month and will be compatible with Windows 10.

Nikon Z5 Price in Nepal and Availability

Nikon Z5 retails at NPR 150,000 through various retail stores across Nepal.

Apple plans to move U.S. iPhone production to India as China trade tensions rise

Well, we are all aware of the tariff war going on between China and the USA lately. This is sure to impact the business of both countries. Apple, in such a situation, is playing it safe by shifting all iPhone assembly for the U.S. market to India, changing its manufacturing strategy in a big way. The company now wants to rely less on Chinese factories and is speeding up production in India to stay ahead of possible import taxes and delays.

Apple turns to India for iPhone assembly

Apple began building iPhones in India back in 2017 with older models like the iPhone 6s and SE, partnering with Wistron. Now, things are moving much faster. Apple plans to make all 60 million iPhones sold each year in the U.S. in India by 2026. To meet this goal, production in India must more than double. That’s a big task, but Apple is pushing hard to make it happen.

iPhone 16 Pro Max design

Foxconn and Tata, two of Apple’s key partners in India, have already sent out nearly $2 billion worth of iPhones to the U.S. in just one month. Apple even rented cargo planes to fly over 600 tons or up to 1.5 million iPhones to the U.S. to keep stores stocked before tariffs hit. That’s HUGE!! This fast action shows how serious Apple is about moving away from China quickly.

How the China–U.S. trade fight affects Apple

Apple has built most of its iPhones in China for years, but now that’s becoming a risk. Trump’s new trade policies could place a 145% tariff on Chinese imports. Even though smartphones haven’t been hit with the highest fees yet, Apple still pays a 20% tax on goods made in China. Tim Cook tried to get exemptions, but there’s no guarantee, and rules can change fast.

That’s why Apple is speeding up its shift to India. By early 2024, 14% of iPhones were already made there. Experts think this will hit 25% by year-end. India also faces a 26% U.S. import tax, but the U.S. paused it for 90 days so India can work out a better deal. U.S. Vice President JD Vance visited India recently and said both sides were making “very good progress.”

Availability

Apple is working fast to get Indian-assembled iPhones into U.S. stores. They’re already shipping large volumes and increasing weekend shifts at Indian factories to meet the growing demand. The company wants to rely more on India not just for this year, but long-term. While China still handles most iPhone, iPad, and Mac production, this change shows Apple is serious about rethinking where it builds its most important products. If tariffs keep growing, this new plan could protect both prices and supply for American customers. So, what do you think? Will iPhones get cheaper in Nepal?
