Oppo A92 launched: Should make its way to South Asia as well

Oppo has been quite busy with releases of its latest smartphones in the market. Most of these launches were limited to China and Europe. However, it looks like the company is now focusing on other parts of the world. Oppo A92, which is its latest offering under the A-series, is now available in Asia. We strongly believe that the smartphone will ultimately make its way to the South Asian market as well. So let’s check out the specs, features, and the expected price of Oppo A92 in Nepal.

Oppo A92 Overview

When it comes to the moniker, smartphones brand aren’t consistent; they tend to release the same phone under different names in different markets. Such is the case with Oppo A92. The device was launched in China as Oppo A72 and is now available in Malaysia with the Indonesian launch round the corner. It is almost certain that the device will make its way to the South Asian market, including India and Nepal, but it seems Oppo will be rebranding the device again. Earlier Oppo launched the Oppo A91 as Oppo F15 in Nepal, and reports suggest that the Oppo A92 will be launched as Oppo F15s.

Design and Display

Specs-wise, Oppo A92 shares a lot of traits with Oppo A9 2020, which was launched last year and it is also available in Nepal. Both devices feature a 6.5-inch IPS LCD, but Oppo A92 has a better resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels compared to 1600 x 720 pixels of A9 2020. Oppo A92 display features a circular cut-out on the top left corner to house the front camera.

On the back, we can see the quad-camera setup housed inside a rectangular camera module. The back panel flaunts what the brand calls the Alaska Sky inspired design, which is available in two color options – Twilight Black and Shining White. It also adopts a 3D Quad-curve design on the rear panel for a smoother feel. The fingerprint sensor has now been integrated on the power button on the side of the device.

Performance and Memory

Oppo A90 2020 had Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, and we weren’t entirely happy because we believe Oppo could have done better. And in 2020, they are still sticking to the same chipset. Yes, you heard it right. Oppo A92 features the same Snapdragon 665 chipset in a time where all the major smart brands are favoring Snapdragon 765G in their mid-range phones. The device comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. In case the storage isn’t sufficient, the device does come with a microSD card slot for expansion.

Camera

The rectangular camera module on the back houses the quad-camera setup and an LED flash. Oppo A92 has a 48MP primary camera with a 1/2″ sensor and an aperture of f/1.7. Along with Ultra Night Mode 2.0, the company claims that the camera won’t disappoint you with night shots. There is also a 16MP ultra-wide camera with a FOV of 119-degree and a 2MP depth sensor. The information about the remaining sensor isn’t clear, but it looks to be a monochrome sensor of 2MP. The camera setup supports wide-angle video, 4K video recording, 120fps slow-motion video, and Anti-Shake features. For selfies, there is a 16MP front camera with Oppo’s AI beautification mode.

Battery and Others

Oppo A92 comes with a massive 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charging. The phone runs on ColorOS 7.1 that is base on Android 10. It also features super-linear dual stereo speakers with support for Dirac 2.0 and Hi-Res audio.

Huawei pushing for its AppGallery in Nepal: 70+ Nepali apps & more yet to come!

Huawei has a pretty decent lineup in the form of the P40 series waiting for us as soon as the lockdown is over. The three phones in this series – P40, P40 Pro, and P40 Pro+ all seem like an absolute beast of a smartphone. However, the one thing that might restrain people from buying these devices is the lack of Google Play Services. Well, Huawei does have its custom AppGallery instead of the Play Store. But suffice to say, it has failed to appeal to many out there. However, the Huawei AppGallery now has over 70 Nepali Apps. And I do believe it will boost the already existing popularity of Huawei in Nepal.

Huawei locked horns with Google last year, and its effect has been devastating. They have had to remove access to Google Apps from their devices. Though they had devised a workaround regarding this issue initially, the loophole was quickly blocked. Since then, Huawei has been work on improving its proprietary AppGallery for the wider audience. And my oh my have they done a great job with it!

Huawei AppGallery currently has 73 Nepali apps in it. Moreover, this includes most of the major apps too. Thus, I believe that these integrated apps will only serve to increase the popularity of Huawei in Nepal and also increase the sales of their smartphone. The following are some of the major Nepali apps that are currently available in Huawei AppGallery.

Nepali Apps on Huawei AppGallery

Category	Apps
News & Magazines	eKantipur, Radio Kantipur, Nepal Magazine, Edupatra
Entertainment	AP1 HD Television, Kantipur TV, QFX, Dish Home, Saptahik
Business	Nepal Electricity Authority, Classictech, Lexpertease
Health	Jeevee Health, Nepal Covid-19 Surveillance
Utilities	Nepal Telecom, Ncell, eSewa, Fonepay, Cellpay, Kirana, Buddha Air, CIT, NTA Call

These are some of the apps that we use daily and its integration in the AppGallery will certainly come as a relief for the current and potential Huawei customers. Having said that, we are too accustomed to using Google Services. For instance, apps such as Gmail and YouTube have become an integral part of our lives. We are heavily dependent on them be it for professional reasons or entertainment. Therefore, their absence in a Huawei smartphone will be sorely missed. Yet, the addition of these Nepali apps is certainly a step in the right direction, especially for the Nepali market.

Fitbit Charge 4 fitness tracker unveiled with integrated GPS functionality

As people are becoming more conscious about their health and fitness, wearables such as fitness band and smartwatch are getting more popular than ever. These smart gadgets help people to reflect on their lifestyle, allowing them to make necessary changes for an active life. When we talk about fitness and wearables, Fitbit ranks above all. It has been so good in the wearable market that Google couldn’t resist acquiring it. While the $2.1 billion deal is yet to be finalized, Fitbit has released Fitbit Charge 4, which comes with a built-in GPS and some other upgrades compared to its predecessor. Let’s look at the specs, launch date, and expected price in Nepal of the Fitbit Charge 4.

Fitbit Charge 4 Overview

Design and Display

Design-wise, there is no significant difference between Fitbit Charge 4 and its predecessor. Both Charge 4 and Charge 3 bear the same design, but the former is a little larger. It weighs around 30g and has a maximum thickness of 12.5mm. We don’t see any physical button emerging from the side as the Charge 4 comes with pressure-sensitive buttons instead. It features a grey-scale OLED display with a diagonal length of an inch. With a new intelligent feature, the brand even claims that you can wake the display by simply raising it

Features

The highlight of Charge 4 is its GPS functionality. Now, you will be able to access locations, even without having to rely on your smartphone’s hardware. It is a handy feature if you love riding, hiking, or even running. The next prominent feature is the Active Zone Minutes that keeps track of the time you spend in different heart-rate zones during workouts. You will also be able to control Spotify using the band. Other features included are 24/7 heart monitoring, sleep monitoring, automatic exercise tracking using SmartTrack, and all-day activities tracking. Subscribe to Fitbit Premium, and you will have access to more extensive features.

Battery and Others

Like its predecessor, Fitbit Charge 4 also boasts a battery life of up to 7 days. But you can have a different experience depending upon the feature you use and how often you use them. For instance, if you use the GPS, the battery life will drop to just 5 hours. It comes with NFC support that you can utilize using the Fitbit Pay. You can even check notifications and send quick replies on your Android using the Charge 4. With the 5ATM rating, the band will withstand water damage of up to 100m.

Specifications:

Display: 1.57-inch Grayscale OLED touchscreen, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3
Display Resolution: 160 x 100 pixels
OS: Fitbit OS
Connectivity: NFC (for Fitbit Pay), Bluetooth 4.0
Battery Capacity: 7 days of battery life

Fitbit Charge 4 Price in Nepal & Availability

Fitbit Charge 4 is available for purchase through Fitbit’s official site where its price is £130 for Standard edition and £150 for Special Edition. The Fitbit Charge 4 SE comes with the same set of features but with a woven band.

As far as the Nepal launch is concerned, we can expect the Fitbit Charge 4 to launch later this year at a price of around Rs. 25,000 for the standard edition and Rs. 28,000 for the special edition (SE).

Fitness Band Variant	Expected Price in Nepal

Corsair Cooling Fans Price in Nepal

Though cases come with fans, people still prefer third party fans. There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a CPU fan. There are fans with size ranging from 80mm to up to 200mm. A larger fan pushes more air out than smaller ones while running at the same RPM. Look for fans with a lower sound level if you don’t want the noise of your fan to distract you while gaming. The fan should also be compatible with your system. CFM (Cubic Feet per Meter) determines the volume of the air the fan can move in a minute. You will also have to decide between Static Pressure and Airflow. The latter is ideal when nothing is blocking the fan, but when objects like radiators are blocking the fan; you will need the extra power of static pressure fan.

Corsair Liquid Coolers Price in Nepal

If you are looking to build a gaming PC, chances are you will be looking for an excellent cooling system. Stock Air coolers aren’t horrible, but if you are thinking of overclocking your system, chances are they won’t be enough. Liquid cooling systems may be expensive, but those are the ones you need if you are serious about gaming. They are quite and easier to integrate but require regular maintenance to avoid any kind of leakage. There are a lot of elements to consider while buying a cooler for your computer. The TDP of the cooler should at least match the TDP of your processor. The cooler should also be compatible with your CPU, and the radiator should be small enough to fit inside your case.

Corsair’s Hydro series liquid coolers come with quite pumps, magnetic levitation fans, precise pump control, and iCUE compatibility.

Corsair Power Supply Units Price in Nepal

Power Supply Unit is what provides power to your whole setup. Before you go out in the market looking for a PSU, you need to calculate how much power your system will actually use. Several online power supply calculators can tell you that once you have entered your components. You will need to choose a PSU that at least meets the power requirement of your system. A higher rated PSU can leave room for some future upgrade; however, if you go for overboard on this, it might have a severe impact on your electricity bill. But its not just about wattage – your needs to be efficient as well. Check if your PSU comes with an 80 Plus rating. It is a certification that categorizes PSU from 80 Plus to 80 Plus Titanium according to their efficiency.

Corsair offers PSU under different series. The VS and CX series provide a balance between price and quality. The RMX and TMX series are quieter and have better efficiency.

Corsair Gaming Headphones Price in Nepal [Updated 2020]

Is your Kill to Death ratio on a decline because you can’t figure out the direction of your enemy based on their footsteps? If yes, you are not alone, and it’s time that you invest in a proper gaming headset. Many of us don’t even realize how much of a positive impact a good gaming headphone (or headset) can have on your gaming performance. In this post, we are listing some of the best Corsair gaming headphones (headsets), along with their specs and price, that you can buy in Nepal.

Corsair is a brand that manufactures and sells gaming peripherals and hardware. It started as a RAM manufacturer back in 1994, and it is now one of the most recognized gaming accessories brands in the world. Their portfolio includes mechanical keyboards, gaming mouse/mice, gaming headsets, and gaming chairs. On top of those, their selection of PC components is even more significant. For instance, they sell high-performance RAM, Power supplies, liquid coolers, FANs, storage to custom coolers.

How to decide on a good Gaming Headphone (Headset)?

Several times headphones and headsets are used interchangeably, but they do have differences. Headphones are designed for the best sound quality, and they usually don’t come with any mic. Most of the time, a headset with some gaming features will do just right. You also need to choose between wired and wireless connectivity. The former restricts your body movements while the latter comes with a heftier price tag and may suffer from battery and latency issues. You will also want to look for features such as surround sound or 3D sound; both try to provide realistic sound, but the latter uses more advanced technology and thus is found on only premium models. Check the quality of the mic and see if it can be retracted or detached as well.

However, the most important aspects of any headphone or headset are the design, build, and feel. A headphone with an arc made up of metal or wireframe is better than that made up of plastic. It shouldn’t bother you with its weight. The earcups should be able to cover your entire ear for better sound isolation. It should be soft yet durable.

Corsair Gaming Keyboards Price in Nepal [Updated 2020]

For anyone who is looking to build a new gaming PC or upgrade their existing one, the struggle of finding authentic PC component and gaming accessories are real. There are only a handful of brands dedicated to the gaming industry that are officially available in Nepal. One such brand is Corsair, which entered the Nepali market last year and now has a wide range of products to offer to the still-growing Nepali gaming scenario. Today, we will be looking at some of the best Corsair gaming keyboards that you can buy in Nepal, along with their features, specs, and price.

Corsair is a brand that manufactures and sells gaming peripherals and hardware. It started as a RAM manufacturer back in 1994, and it is now one of the most recognized gaming accessories brands in the world. Their portfolio includes mechanical keyboards, gaming mouse/mice, gaming headsets, and gaming chairs. On top of those, their selection of PC components is even more significant. For instance, they sell high-performance RAM, Power supplies, liquid coolers, FANs, storage to custom coolers.

Choosing a Gaming Keyboard

No matter which game you prefer to play, you need a reliable keyboard that lets you control every aspect of the game. The idea of the best gaming keyboard is subjective as all keyboards are made different, and each appeals to different groups of players. The first thing to look at in a keyboard is the key mechanism. Generally, there are two of them – membrane and mechanical. The former uses a pressure-sensitive layer to detect the keystroke while the latter uses spring-based switches. Mechanical keyboards are faster, durable, customizable, and provide better feedback to the users and thus have a more significant reputation in the market. On the other hand, the membrane keyboard is quieter and is easy on the wallet. There are also keyboards with hybrid mechanisms that are popular with laptops and low-profile gaming desktop.

If you are into gaming, a mechanical keyboard is a way to go, but mechanical keyboards differ in switch type. Switches are assigned to different groups (represent by color) with respect to their features such as facility, speed, sound, actuation point, and force. Different brands have come up with their own color scheme; however, the keyboards on this list all follow Cherry MX’s color scheme, which has been the industry standard for decades now. Other things to consider are the size of the keyboard, availability of number pad, media control, and programmable macro keys, n-key rollover, anti-ghosting features, and USB passthrough options.

For instance, they sell high-performance RAM, Power supplies, liquid coolers, FANs, storage to custom coolers.

Choosing a Gaming Mouse

When it comes to a gaming mouse, people are divided between optical and laser sensors. Laser sensors are more accurate, and expensive, and are thus used by brands in their flagship products. Optical sensors, on the other hand, don’t have lag and are easier on the wallet. The other thing to consider is the DPI. DPI rating indicates how fast the cursor moves on the screen. Are higher DPI better? It all depends on the kind of player using the mouse. If you make shorter mouse movements, you would require a high DPI mouse.

On the other hand, if you make longer drags, a low DPI mouse will be ideal. To sum it up, look for a mouse with customizable DPI over a wide range so that you can customize it for the best performance possible. Besides this, another thing of equal importance is the design and feel of the mouse. Make sure that the mouse suits your gripping style and is light enough to drag and move around. If you are going for a wireless mouse, you will also have to take the battery and latency into consideration. Other things to consider are polling rate, acceleration, and lift-off distance. A higher polling rate means faster communication between the mouse and the system. Also, we recommend you to go with a mouse with a low lift-off distance and without acceleration.

Samsung Galaxy A71 Review: Premium Midrange Phone Done Right

Samsung Galaxy A71 is the latest premium midrange phone from the Korean giants. Priced just under Rs. 50,000 in Nepal, the Galaxy A71 promises awesome display, camera, and battery life. But, is it a good premium midrange phone to buy in 2020? Let’s find out in our review here.

Samsung Galaxy A71 Specifications

Body: 6.44 x 2.99 x 0.30 inches; 179 gms
Display: 6.7-inches “Infinity-O” Super AMOLED panel
Resolution: Full-HD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels); 20:9 aspect ratio
Chipset: Snapdragon 730; 8nm Mobile Platform
CPU: Octa-core (2×2.2 GHz Kryo 470 Gold & 6×1.8 GHz Kryo 470 Silver)
GPU: Adreno 618
RAM: 6 / 8GB
Storage: 128GB (expandable up to 512GB via a microSD card)
Software & UI: Android 10 with Samsung’s One UI 2.0 on top
Rear Camera: Quad-camera; 64 MP, f/1.8 primary shooter, 12MP, f/2.2 super wide-angle lens, 5MP, f/2.4 macro lens, 5MP, f/2.2 depth sensor, Single LED flash
Front Camera: 32MP, f/2.2 aperture
Security: Optical Fingerprint-Scanner
Audio: 3.5mm headphone jack
Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), MicroSD card, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/AGPS/GLONASS/Galileo/BDS, USB Type-C
Battery: 4500 mAh with 25W Quick Charge

DESIGN:

Design-wise, the most apparent change from its predecessor is the camera module and an addition of a macro lens. We also have this patterned gradient back that looks lovely.

But don’t be mistaken by the looks, because it seems like a glass back but in reality, the rear panel and frames are plastic. And during my time with the phone, the back surprisingly hasn’t developed any scratches, though I would strongly suggest you don’t take chances and case it up!

Another reason for using a case is for the camera bump that creates an imbalance when placing on a flat surface. But keeping those things aside, I absolutely adore this design choice from Samsung. I love how slim and ergonomic it is despite having a 4,500 mAh battery inside.

PERFORMANCE

Let’s talk performance, and one thing about Samsung’s mid-range phones we absolutely hate is their generosity in providing great chipset. And Although the Snapdragon 730 chipset that this phone has, is somewhat a decent choice but cmon its 2020, and you get cheaper phones these days with SD 730 or 730G.

So maybe Samsung could have gone with their in-house Exynos 9820 that was used on its last year’s Galaxy S10 flagship. Nevertheless, real-life usage is ‘good’ with the 6GB RAM it has. I have zero complaints in that matter, whether it be for normal tasks or rigorous multitasking.

For the hard-core gamers out there, yes, you are going to face a few stutters here and there while pushing the phone to its limits with high-end games. But let me assure you, it’s really only a few stutters and nothing more. Even after some continuous PUBG and COD sessions, I didn’t feel the device break down or heat up, so that’s impressive!

Samsung One UI:

With Samsung’s mid-range phones, it’s usually the slow UI that made us overlook even the good things about those phones. But with the A71, I’ve had quite a good experience.Unlike what you would typically expect on a Samsung midrange phone, the UI on the A71 is very swift. Working around the phone is smooth and I never felt even an s- of stutter while using it.

Also, this might be a minor thing, but I am fond of the icons here too which are subtle and not that flashy. Having said that, the One UI 2.0 is not as polished as, say, the Galaxy S20 that I recently reviewed. But for a mid-range device, the things you get in here is actually good.

DISPLAY

Playing games has been pleasing in this big AMOLED display. Sadly, the A71 does not support a higher refresh rate. Therefore, I’m shying away from calling its display the best in its range. Well, we cannot rule out the fact that a 120Hz display is all the rage right now, can we?

Even so, quality-wise, it’s hard not to admire this screen. The ever so tiny notch up top is non-intrusive and looks very nice actually. At a time when smartphone brands are either going for traditional notches or those god-awful dual punch holes, this one is a good-looking implementation in comparison!

The indoor brightness is more than enough and even outdoors in bright sunny days, you won’t be disappointed. The device is Widevine L1 certified but for unknown reasons, is not HDR10 compatible. And Samsung is still using the older Gorilla Glass 3 protection here. So, make sure you install a good screen protector. I, on the other hand, haven’t used any tempered glass on the unit I have and there are already few evident scratches.

Likewise, because of the price restriction, the display doesn’t have those fancy curves. But the bezels are minimal and the display has an impressive 20:9 aspect ratio! So, display-wise, things look great here, although I hope the next iteration comes with a higher refresh rate display!

But since it’s the signature AMOLED panel from Samsung, you get perks like having an Always-On Display that you can customize to show whenever you want. There’s also an in-display fingerprint sensor which I’ll talk about later.

BATTERY

And about the battery, I have to say that it’s very enduring. For the heavy users out there, this phone is the way to go.

It gets you through a couple of hours of gaming, a lot of social media & YouTube and some photography with a little juice left at the end of the day. Plus, it’s a 60 Hz screen so there won’t be excessive drainage too. In very basic usage, it will get you through a day and a half of battery life, so that’s pretty cool.

Also, it fills in very fast as well. The 25-watt charger you get inside the box fills the battery in slightly over one hour and ten minutes. The faster charging is also the result of the Type-C to Type-C power delivery mechanism the phone employs. This might be something unique in a device of this price range, but if your laptop does not have a USB C port, data sharing might be some trouble for you. You will need an extra USB cable or a dongle.

CAMERA

Samsung’s mid-range devices never disappoint when it comes to camera performance and it really shows here.

The Galaxy A71 has a quad camera setup with a 64MP primary lens, followed by a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 5MP depth sensor, and an additional 5MP macro lens. And although the A71 here uses the same 64MP Samsung GW1 sensor like the Realme X2 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro, Samsung’s optimization is better if you nitpick aspects like details, color reproduction and sometimes HDR too!

The primary pixel binned 16MP images from the A71 are very rich in colors. Although some might think that they are a bit on the saturated side, I think it looks pleasing, to be honest. The details captured look fine and HDR works considerably well. The best images from the A71 are mostly reflected in natural elements like flowers and landscapes because Samsung’s optimization works best here.

The Ultra-Wide-angle sensor is also another impressive thing about the A71. Mostly, you get a standard 8MP sensor in midrange phones, but Samsung has gone a step further with a 12MP one, so you are getting more details. And not only that, the HDR works well too and the colors are as good as the primary lens.

The portrait shots also do not disappoint. The subject focus is on point and the background is definitely nice too. The edge detection isn’t as good as say the flagship one’s but overall, you will like them most of the times.

Portrait

Speaking of disappointment, it has to be the macro lens here. Not only you cannot focus on the images while taking it, the captured images produced, most of the times, are not very appealing in terms of quality. Maybe with the best possible lighting, you can get a few good enough shots & that’s about it.

Now talking about the 32MP selfie camera, it is very very good. Selfies usually have a good color tone and look good overall. Unlike Realme X2’s, this one has good HDR capabilities. So, even if I clicked selfies during sunny days, I got good looking pictures. Portrait selfies are not the best as its software at work but not anything to complain about either.

For the Tiktok users, this selfie camera even has a slow-mo video feature with which you can add a little flair to your videos. And even for others, you can definitely have some fun with this feature.

Talking of videos, quality-wise, they look good. You can crank the resolution up to 4K, but all the resolutions only support up to 30 fps, which, I think works for an average person, but for me, I think Samsung should have given a 60-fps option at least in FHD resolution. Also, talking of stabilization, 4k videos come out wobbly but 1080p videos have good stabilization.

While I have liked the images from the back camera, night time images are nothing out of the ordinary. So, most of the time I used the night mode which improves the exposure and details in images. It does crop the picture a little bit, which I don’t understand why. You can click wide-angle images from the night mode as well, which balances the exposure a little bit. But the normal night time wide-angle-images are not so impressive by themselves, as it is just a slight improvement and nothing else.

So, Overall, in terms of the camera, the only aspect where the Galaxy A71 left me wanting for more is the 60fps videos. Skip that and the rest are fine by my standards. I particularly liked the ultra-wide-angle shots, which I personally think more and more brands on their midrange lineup should focus on.

BIOMETRICS

But something that I have always wanted Samsung to improve on is their slow in-display fingerprint sensors. Although its slightly faster than last gen Galaxy A70, but its still slow when you speed-test against its Chinese counterparts. So, yes, I think Samsung needs to work on it a little bit. Another biometric option, the face unlock is fast and unlocks the phone before the fingerprint sensor does, all the time!

AUDIO

The single firing speaker is also good, not the flagship stereo speaker level, but I would rate it, like B+. But one thing to note here is the sound gets blocked mostly when you play games and watch videos in landscape. So, I‘ve had to frequently adjust how I held the phone, which has been some trouble for me.

VERDICT

So, to sum it up, like I said in the beginning of this video, I’ve had a very good experience with the Galaxy A71. However, what makes for a good experience in my case, might not be the same for everyone else. For instance, phones like the Realme X2 Pro or the Oneplus 7 definitely have better performance when compared to the A71, so if your priority is gaming, you are better off with those options.

But, if you are looking for a smartphone, that does every bit for you, the A71 is one of the most viable choices available. And here in Nepal, since the Realme X2 Pro hasn’t launched yet, I think the Galaxy A71 is a very good choice for some 50,000 rupees.
