Redmi 15C is official in Nepal with a 6000mAh battery

0

Xiaomi’s budget lineup just got more interesting as the Redmi 15C gets official in Nepal with a massive 6000 mAh battery. This article will discuss everything about the latest Redmi 15C, including its official price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Redmi 15C Overview

Display and Design

You’re getting a pretty large 6.9-inch IPS LCD screen with a surprisingly 120Hz refresh rate. The display has that classic waterdrop notch design.

Redmi 15C design and display

Meanwhile, at 173 x 81 x 8.2mm and 205 grams, the Redmi 15C is not exactly lightweight, but that’s expected with the bigger battery inside. The phone comes in four color options: Midnight Gray, Blue, Green, and Twilight Orange.

Performance and Storage

At its core is the MediaTek Helio G81-Ultra processor paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of storage. It should be obvious that the G81-Ultra is not a performance-centric phone, or even a gaming device, if you will, but for basic apps and light gaming, I think it’ll do the job.

Camera Setup

Xiaomi has gone with a 50MP main camera on the back of the Redmi 15C, plus a second sensor that hasn’t been detailed yet. Up front, there’s a 13MP selfie camera sitting in that waterdrop notch.

Battery and Charging

And the biggest highlight of the Redmi 15C is definitely its massive 6000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. That’s a huge upgrade from the previous model’s 5160mAh battery and 18W charging. Xiaomi claims it’ll last up to 77 hours on a single charge and retain 80% capacity after 1,000 charging cycles.

You’re also getting a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, NFC support, and an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance.

Infinix GT 30 5G launched in Nepal with gaming shoulder triggers 

Infinix just dropped the GT 30 5G in Nepal, its latest midrange gaming phone. And this guy has a bunch of cool features like dedicated shoulder triggers and a 144Hz AMOLED display. Now, let’s read this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest Infinix GT 30 5G, including its official price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Infinix GT 30 5G Overview:

Display and gaming features

You’re getting a massive 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with a 144Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling. The peak brightness hits 1,600 nits (HBM), which is pretty wild for this price range. And it is also protected by Gorilla Glass 7i.

Infinix GT 30 5G+

One interesting thing worth noting about this device is that it actually includes dedicated shoulder triggers, which is something you’d usually find on phones costing twice as much. As you can see from the image above, it also has customizable lights at the back.

And if you are wondering about what “Shoulder triggers” I mean here, then, to simply put, it’s a capacitive button positioned on the sides of the phone that works like shoulder buttons found on game console controllers. The display also packs 2304Hz PWM dimming, and if you’re into BGMI, it supports 90fps gameplay, which is solid.

Performance and software

At its core is the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 SoC paired with 8GB LPDDR5X RAM. While storage also comes with a sole option of 256GB (UFS 2.2). As I already mentioned before, the performance of the GT 30 5G should be smooth for most games.

You’re getting Android 15 with XOS 15 on top, so at least the software is current. And to keep things nice and cool, Infinix has also included a 3D vapor chamber cooling system on this phone.

Camera and battery

Then again, the camera setup on the Infinix GT 30 5G is clearly not a flagship or anything. With a 64MP main (Sony IMX682), an 8MP ultrawide, and a 13MP front shooter. They’re clearly not trying to compete with camera phones here, given the gaming focus.

Infinix GT 30 5G Plus design

Battery life should be decent with the 5,500mAh capacity, plus 45W fast charging is pretty decent as well. To make sure the phone doesn’t heat up that much when you’re playing some games while keeping it plugged in, it also supports bypass charging.

Build and connectivity

For security, the Infinix GT 30 5G has an in-display fingerprint scanner. Whereas the company has also onboarded stereo speakers and an IP64 rating for basic water resistance for this phone. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi 6, and they even threw in an IR blaster.

Infinix GT 30 5G Specifications:

  • Display: 6.78-inch AMOLED, 144Hz, 1.5K resolution, 1,600 nits (HBM), 4,500 nits (HDR) peak brightness
  • Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 7400 (4nm)
  • Memory: 8GB LPDDR5X RAM, 256GB UFS 2.2 storage
  • Rear Cameras: 64MP main + 8MP ultrawide
  • Front Camera: 13MP (hole-punch cutout)
  • Battery: 5,500mAh with 45W fast charging
  • OS: Android 15 with XOS 15
  • Special features: Gaming shoulder triggers, in-display fingerprint
  • Protection: IP64 rating
  • Connectivity: 5G, Bluetooth 5.4, WiFi 6, IR blaster

Samsung Galaxy A17 5G review: Anything new?

Today we have the new Samsung Galaxy A17 5G with us. This phone is the successor to last year’s popular A16 5G. In fact, the A16 was one of the best-selling phones in Nepal last year. The A17 5G starts at NPR 29,000 in Nepal. Looking at the specs, Samsung has improved certain aspects, though in some areas it could have been better. Overall, the phone shows a balance of improvements and minor compromises. Now, without further ado, let’s dive in this review article to discuss everything we experienced using this device.

Samsung Galaxy A17 Specifications

  • Display: 6.7-inch Super AMOLED, FHD+, 90Hz, 1,100 nits, Gorilla Glass Victus
  • Processor: Samsung Exynos 1330
  • RAM: 4GB / 8GB
  • Storage: 128GB / 256GB (expandable via microSD)
  • Rear Camera: 50MP (OIS) + 5MP ultrawide + 2MP macro
  • Front Camera: 13MP

  • Protection: IP54 rating
  • Colors: Black, Blue, Gray

Samsung Galaxy A17 5G Review

Design and Build

Starting with design, Samsung has done a good job with the look and hands-on feel. Earlier, budget A-series phones usually came with a plastic back, but now the A17 features a glass back. The design resembles the A35 and A55 series, and the overall feel is premium for a budget phone. The display protection is strong, featuring Gorilla Glass Victus, and it also has an IP54 dust and water resistance rating. While IP67 would have been better, it’s still a solid improvement.

The phone retains a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, which is fast and positioned comfortably, even for users with smaller hands. In terms of design and build quality, I would rate this phone highly.

Display

Galaxy A17 5G multitasking

There are no major upgrades on the display side. It has the same 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen, supporting a 90 Hz refresh rate and 800 nits brightness. A 120 Hz refresh rate would have offered a slightly smoother experience.

The phone still features a tear-drop notch, which feels outdated for a phone priced around NPR 30,000. Despite that, the display quality is good, though the notch slightly affects the visual experience. The A17 has a single speaker, not stereo, but it is loud enough, so there’s no major issue.

Performance

Galaxy A17 5G performance

The significant drawback is that the phone uses the Exynos 1330 chipset, also found in the A14 5G from three years ago. Samsung has optimized it over the years, but it cannot be called a powerful chipset. It’s sufficient for social media, calls, and messaging, but not for heavy tasks.

For gaming, this phone is not suitable. Games like PUBG run at around 30 fps, and Mobile Legends can reach up to 90 fps, but with occasional stutters. Users wanting a smoother gaming experience should consider options from brands like Nothing or Infinix, which offer better performance-focused phones.

Samsung’s saving grace is its software. The phone receives Android and security updates for up to six years. One UI is user-friendly, feature-rich, and easy to navigate even for first-time smartphone users.

There is some bloatware, particularly the “App Cloud” app, which collects personal information such as gender and cannot be uninstalled.

Camera

Samsung rarely disappoints in camera performance, and the A17 delivers decent photos. The camera specs are largely the same as the A16, but the main camera now includes OIS (optical image stabilization).

Being a budget phone, moving objects may not always be perfectly sharp, but regular photos are crisp with good color reproduction.

Even in slightly gloomy weather, the phone produces vibrant, eye-catching photos. Portraits are pleasing, although there is no 2x zoom option for portrait mode. Selfies are also good.

The ultra-wide camera is only 5MP, but it delivers decent detail and color if zooming is avoided.

Night photos using night mode balance exposure and sharpness well, though sometimes the images can appear slightly hazy or bluish.

For video, the phone supports up to 1080p recording. With EIS (electronic image stabilization), the footage is stable, though detail is limited. For casual video recording, it is good enough.

Battery and Charging

The A17 has a 5,000 mAh battery with good endurance, providing around seven hours of screen-on time under normal usage. The free 25-watt charger can charge the phone fully in about an hour.

Samsung Galaxy A17 5G Review: Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Premium design
  • Good display
  • Reliable camera
  • Long battery life

Cons:

  • Weak gaming performance
  • Tear-drop notch
  • Single speaker

Samsung Galaxy A17 5G Review: Conclusion

At a price of around NPR 30,000, the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G is a solid choice if you prefer a Samsung phone. For performance-focused users who want to play games, alternatives like the Redmi Note 14 or CMF Phone 1 may be better. However, for normal social media use, calls, and good camera quality, the A17 is a reliable option. The 8GB variant offers slightly better performance.

Vivo V60 review: Best phone under 70k?

If you didn’t know, Vivo’s V-series gets updated every 6 months! V40 came a year ago, V50 six months ago, and that’s one of the reasons Vivo’s V-series is getting quite popular in Nepal — in the 60–70 thousand NPR premium midrange category. And in India as well, Vivo is currently the No.1 brand in terms of volume sales, selling more phones than Samsung. And Vivo’s recent flagship phone, the X200 Pro… that phone is currently the best camera phone for the price!

And with this phone, the V60, Vivo has brought some really nice upgrades — especially in the camera department! I’ll explain all of this in the article. Let’s dive in!

Vivo V60 Specifications:

  • Design and build: 163.53 x 76.96 x 7.53 – 7.75 mm, 192 – 201 gm
  • Color options: Mist Gray, Auspicious Gold, Moonlit Blue
  • Durability: IP68/69 dust and water resistant
  • Display: 6.77-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel, 120Hz refresh rate, 1,500 nits peak brightness (HBM), HDR10+
  • Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 (4nm mobile platform)
  • Memory: Up to 16GB LPDDR4X RAM, Up to 512GB UFS 2.1 storage (non-expandable)
  • Software & UI: Funtouch OS 15 on top of Android 15
  • Rear cameras: Triple (50MP primary, 50MP 3x telephoto, 8MP ultrawide)
  • Front camera: 50MP sensor (hole-punch)
  • Security: Fingerprint sensor (optical in-display)
  • Battery: 6,500 mAh with 90W charging (90W adapter inside the box)

Vivo V60 Review

Camera

Okay, the biggest upgrade in the Vivo V60 this time is in the camera! It has a 3X periscope zoom lens — the first time in the Vivo V-series! While the zoom lens can take photos at 3X, 5X, and 10X, the main advantage of the 3X lens is for portraits.

In Portrait mode, you can now shoot at different focal lengths. The main camera offers 23mm, 35mm, and 50mm modes, while the 3X periscope camera gives 85mm and 100mm modes. Photos taken at 85mm and 100mm are excellent — much better than what you get on phones in this price range like the Galaxy A56 or OnePlus Nord 5.

Additionally, this phone has Zeiss optimization like Vivo’s flagship phones, so skin tones in portraits are accurate, and the blur effect is excellent! It’s obviously not as strong as the X200 Pro, but for a midrange phone, the Vivo V60 can take amazing portraits. Even in low light, I got really good portrait shots. There are also different portrait modes such as Wedding, B/W, and Festival modes, allowing creative flexibility for different types of portraits.

Another upgrade is the selfie camera. Selfies are very wide, and there’s a 0.8X mode, which is helpful for group selfies. Even when vlogging, you don’t need to stretch your arm — the field of view is excellent. Vivo is also one of the few brands whose selfie camera has autofocus and good skin tone/highlight management. So selfies are definitely much better than the competition.

Considering the price, the main 50MP camera takes great photos with good details and dynamic range — both during the day and at night. Most of my photos were taken in Zeiss mode, which produces natural colors. If you prefer more vibrant photos, you can use Zeiss Vivid mode.

The downside of the camera this time is the ultra-wide (U/W) camera. The V40 and V50 had 50MP U/W cameras, but the V60 has an 8MP U/W camera. Its output is not that great — details are limited, dynamic range is compromised, and you can only record video in Full HD, with no 4K option.

Similarly, for main camera videography, considering the price, it could perform better. There’s no 4K at 60fps, and 4K 30fps videos are just okay, nothing extraordinary. But overall, camera-wise, this is the best camera phone under 70,000 NPR.

Design

Okay, the camera is good, but at 70,000 NPR, how do other aspects perform? Let’s start with design and display. Design-wise, Vivo gives a clean setup. The camera module looks like the X200 FE, which I like more than the large module on the Vivo V50.

The phone has a 6500mAh battery but isn’t too heavy. It has IP68 + IP69 rating, which is more robust than the IP65/67 ratings found on Samsung, OnePlus, or Nothing phones. Vivo claims the phone can survive 120 minutes underwater vs. 30 minutes on other phones — so durability is solid. However, it doesn’t feel super premium because the back and frame are plastic. Dropping it may leave minor dents, so a cover is recommended.

Display

vivo v60 display

Display-wise, I have no major complaints. It has a good AMOLED screen, bright enough for outdoors (up to ~1500 nits in auto mode). HDR10 works well for Netflix and YouTube, optical fingerprint sensor is fast, auto-brightness works well, and touch response is smooth.

Vivo improved vibration feedback, though it’s not as good as OPPO or OnePlus haptics. Overall, display is a solid A-minus.

Performance

vivo v60 ui

Performance is slightly weak for the price. It uses Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which is an upgrade from the SD 7 Gen 3 in the Vivo V50, but it’s not the fastest in this price range. Base RAM is 12GB, so normal use is smooth, but it doesn’t feel as fast as the OnePlus Nord 5. For gaming, PUBG runs at 60fps, but heavier games like Genshin Impact only reach 30fps. Heating is not an issue, which is good.

Software

vivo v60 ui

Vivo’s software experience isn’t as smooth as OnePlus, Samsung, or Nothing phones, but it’s usable and improving. AI features are included, and the company promises 4 years of software updates. The UI/UX should get better over time.

Battery

Galaxy A17 5G charging

The phone has a 6500mAh battery with a low-powered processor, so battery life is excellent. Easily lasts 1.5 days. The 90W charger fully charges the phone in roughly 50 minutes.

Vivo V60 Review: Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Excellent cameras
  • Long-lasting battery with fast charging
  • Bright AMOLED display
  • Durable design

Cons:

  • Weak ultra-wide camera
  • Audio lacks bass
  • Performance not top-tier
  • Plastic body feels cheap

Vivo V60 Review: Conclusion

Overall, considering all aspects and price, the Vivo V60 is hard to beat at 70,000 NPR. It’s better than the Honor 400, Samsung A56, and even OnePlus Nord 5. The specs are balanced, and its portraits and selfies outperform the competition.

Design is good, display is excellent, main camera optimized by Zeiss, and battery life is long-lasting. For Nepal, the Vivo V60 is probably the best choice.

Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 is here with a lot of iOS inspirations

Just a few days ago, we found out that Xiaomi was gearing up to open the beta testing program for the next version of HyperOS. And now, Xiaomi has officially announced HyperOS 3, based on Android 16, is finally official. So in this article, I’ll be discussing everything you need to know about Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3. Including all devices that will be getting this update.

Xiaomi HyperOS 3 (Android 16) is here

The president of Xiaomi Group Partner and Mobile Phone Division, Mr. Lu Weibing, said that HyperOS 3 is now a new starting point of Xiaomi’s operating system development. This fresh phase focuses on making the system smoother, more responsive, and more intuitive for its users.

What is new in HyperOS 3?

Xiaomi says its latest take on Android has some significant optimization in terms of performance as well. Besides smoother animations across the system, HyperOS 3 reportedly reduces app load time by 21%.

Gamers can expect an even better experience here with 15% better 1% low fps and 9% lower power draw as well.

The new Super Island

Besides all those under-the-hood optimizations, HyperOS 3 brings a lot of iOS-inspired features too.

Super Island in Xiaomi HyperOS 3

Like Xiaomi’s take on Apple’s Dynamic Island, called “Super Island”, which offers contextual information about real-time app activities. But unlike iOS, Super Island remains active in the notification panel as well.

Xiaomi HyperOS 3 - MacBook and iPad Sync

Whereas HyperOS 3-powered smartphones will work a lot better with different Apple devices, too. You will be able to run your Xiaomi phone’s app directly on your iPad or MacBook, and even share images and sync notifications between your Xiaomi phone and an iPhone.

Other changes

Xiaomi has also introduced a notable visual refresh across the UI. Including redesigned app and status bar icons, and better notification organization. The company has also updated the “Dynamic Wallpaper” we first saw on HyperOS 2 (Android 15) to add more cinematic depth effects and better lockscreen customization.

The one new feature that caught my eye is HyperOS 3’s offline positioning, which should let you find supported devices when it’s offline or switched off.

Which devices will get the Xiaomi HyperOS 3 update?

And if you wanna get a taste of HyperOS 3 yourself, the good news is Xiaomi has already listed all the devices that will be eligible to enroll in its beta program from August 29. They are:

August 29

Huawei overtakes Apple as the world’s top smartwatch brand of Q2 2025

It has finally happened. Huawei has finally surpassed Apple in terms of global smartwatch shipments in Q2 2025. The Chinese brand has been catching up to Apple for years now, and for the first time ever, it’s the market leader.

The battle between Huawei and Apple in the global smartwatch market

According to the latest report by Counterpoint Research, Huawei had 21% market share versus Apple’s 17% in terms of global smartwatch shipments in Q2 2025. Xiaomi came in third with 9%, alongside another Chinese brand, “imoo” with 7%, and Samsung in the fifth spot with 6% market share.

And we can also see that while Huawei had an impressive 52% YoY (Year-over-Year) growth, Apple saw a 3% decline instead. Actually, all Chinese brands in the leaderboard see a healthy growth, while Apple and even Samsung had a rough quarter this year.

This should be pretty concerning for the two because the total smartwatch shipment volume itself had grown by 8% in Q2 2025.

The same Counterpoint research also mentions that this shift is largely driven by Huawei’s strong performance in China, where most of its sales come from. Whereas Huawei has been steadily growing its presence in other important markets like Europe, the Middle East, and all over Asia as well.

A long time coming

When you think about it, Huawei’s success has been in the works for quite some time now. That’s because, unlike how Apple only plays in the premium territory, Huawei has a range of wearables from the budget to the premium segment.

HP says this laptop weighs less than 1 kg (technically, 0.997 kg is less than 1 kg, so we’ll give this one a pass). It also has a pretty clean look and an aluminum build, further adding to the premium look and feel of the laptop.

HP OmniBook 7 Aero 13 - Design

Moving to the display, the OmniBook 7 Aero has a 13.3-inch IPS display with a WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200) pixels. This display is also decent enough to get some work done outdoors since it has a respectable 400 nits of peak brightness. Alongside an anti-glare coating to reduce reflections.

The best part is that this screen even has 100% sRGB colors and DC dimming to minimize screen flickering when using it at low brightness levels.

Performance and Memory

As I mentioned earlier, the OmniBook 7 Aero uses AMD’s Ryzen AI processor. More specifically, the one available in Nepal has Ryzen AI 5 340, which has six “Zen 5” cores and 12 threads.

AMD Ryzen AI 300 series

The graphics are handled by the integrated Radeon 840M GPU, while it ships with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB SSD.

The HP OmniBook 7 Aero also features an NPU with up to 50 TOPS of performance for on-device AI workloads. On top of that, HP has included its own AI Companion tool as well, which works offline to help analyze documents and improve system performance.

Motorola launches Moto Buds Bass and Buds Loop with ANC and Bose tuning

We are seeing some exciting wireless products all around this summer, and following that, Motorola has also launched new TWs – the Moto Buds Bass and Moto Buds Loop. You’re getting 50dB ANC on the Bass model and Bose-tuned open earphones with the Loop. This article will discuss everything about the latest Motorola Moto Buds, including their price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Motorola Moto Buds Overview

Moto Buds Bass 

moto buds bass design

The Moto Buds Bass are clearly targeting the budget segment with a focus on “thumping bass.” You’re getting 12.4mm dynamic drivers with custom EQ tuning that should deliver some serious low-end punch.

What caught my attention was the dynamic active noise cancellation that goes up to 50dB. For the price, that’s pretty impressive ANC performance in this price range. Most budget earbuds either skip ANC entirely or offer weak implementation. The earbuds also come with Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity and are available in three Pantone-developed colors: Posy Green, Dark Shadow, and Blue Jewel. The Pantone partnership suggests Motorola is taking the design aspect seriously.

Moto Buds Loop 

The Moto Buds Loop take a completely different approach with their open earphone design. These are Bose-tuned, which should mean solid audio engineering from a company that knows sound. You can get them in Pantone French Oak, Ice Melt (decorated with Swarovski crystals), or Trekking Green. That Swarovski crystal option sounds pretty fancy for earbuds, though it probably bumps up the price significantly. And the price it comes, they’re positioned as premium open earphones that let you hear ambient sound while listening to music.

Different Launch Dates

One thing that’s rather amusing is that Motorola is launching these on different dates. The Loop arrives on September 1, while the Bass model comes on September 8. Not sure why they’re spacing them out, but maybe they want each model to get its own spotlight.

Motorola Moto Buds Bass and Loop Specifications

Feature Moto Buds Bass Moto Buds Loop
Type Closed in-ear TWS Open earphone design
Audio Tuning Custom EQ for dynamic drivers Bose-tuned
Drivers 12.4mm dynamic drivers Not specified
ANC Dynamic ANC up to 50dB Not mentioned
Connectivity Bluetooth 5.3 Not specified
Colors Posy Green, Dark Shadow, Blue Jewel Pantone French Oak, Ice Melt (Swarovski), Trekking Green

Motorola Moto Buds Bass and Loop Price in Nepal and Availability

The Moto Buds Bass is priced at INR 1,999 while the Buds Loop is priced at INR 7,999 in India. When they make it to Nepal, the Bass would start at no less than NPR 3,500 and the Loop at NPR 14,000.

Model Price in India (Official) Price in Nepal (Expected)
Moto Buds Bass INR 1,999 NPR 3,500

You’re getting a solid 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The screen can hit up to 800 nits of brightness, which is unfortunately the same as its predecessor.

And here’s the kicker – Samsung slapped Gorilla Glass Victus on this thing, which is the same protection you’d find on their flagship phones. The front camera still sits in a waterdrop notch, which, to be honest, is a real bummer. But color-wise, you can pick from Black, Blue, or Gray.

Cameras

The main attraction here is the 50MP main camera with OIS. The A16 didn’t have stabilization, so Samsung’s clearly stepping up its game here. You’re also getting a 5MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens, though let’s be real, those are just there to bump up the camera count. The 13MP front camera should handle your selfies and video calls just fine.

Performance and Software

At its core is Samsung’s Exynos 1330 chipset. It’s the same chipset that featured in the European variant of the Galaxy A16. Meanwhile, you can choose between 4GB RAM with 128GB storage or bump up to 8GB RAM with 256GB storage. Plus, there’s microSD support if you need more space.

Software-wise, you’re getting One UI 7 based on Android 15. Samsung is also promising 6 major OS updates and 6 years of security patches.

Battery and Build Quality

Samsung packed a 5,000mAh battery inside, which should easily get you through a full day. Charging tops out at 25W, which is also kind of weak, if you just look around at what you get in budget phones these days. The phone has an IP54 rating for basic water and dust protection.
