HONOR shakes Up MWC 2025 with AI Plans and so much more
HONOR splashed at MWC 2025 in Barcelona, making a bold AI strategy and new devices. This article will discuss everything about the latest Honor Alpha Plan and what went down.

HONOR ALPHA PLAN Overview

honor alpha plan

HONOR kicked things off with the HONOR ALPHA PLAN, a three-step strategy to become a top player in AI device ecosystems. It’s a big shift from just making smartphones. They’re putting $10 billion into this over the next five years and teaming up with companies like Qualcomm and Google Cloud. The plan starts with smarter phones, moves to physical AI devices, and ends with a push into the AGI era. Each step builds on the last, aiming to change how tech fits into our lives.

Step 1: Smartphones with AI Agents

The first part focuses on phones that do more on their own. HONOR wants to add AI agents that can handle tasks like booking a restaurant by checking your calendar and traffic. In addition, they’re rolling out features like AiMAGE to boost camera quality. This sets the stage for a more connected device lineup.

Step 2: Physical AI Devices

Next, HONOR plans to branch out into physical AI gear. Think robots or other smart devices that go beyond phones. Furthermore, they aim to work with others in the industry to create a new standard for AI ecosystems. It’s about opening up new possibilities for tech.

Step 3: AGI Era

The final step is all about the artificial general intelligence (AGI) era. HONOR wants to help shape a new tech paradigm that could impact society on a big scale. For example, they see this as a way to unlock human potential through AI. It’s a long-term vision with a lot riding on it.

HONOR ALPHA PLAN launch date

HONOR also showed off some new devices to back up their AI focus. The HONOR MagicBook Pro 14 is a laptop with long battery life and a vine-leaf curved design. Additionally, the HONOR Pad V9 is a tablet with an 11.5-inch display and MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Elite for work or study. The HONOR Watch 5 Ultra offers 15 days of battery life and tracks fitness. Meanwhile, the HONOR Earbuds Open bring real-time translation to the table.

Realme 14 “Pro Lite” launched as a rebranded Realme 13 Pro!

Realme introduced the 14 Pro series in January with the release of Realme 14 Pro and Realme 14 Pro+. Now, we have a Pro Lite version. Yup, a “Pro Lite” version! A model that is better than the base but lies below the Pro model? Well, that’s what it looks like so in this piece, let’s walk through its specs and features, alongside expected price in Nepal and availability.

Realme 14 Pro Lite Overview

Design and Display

Realme has used a very similar design pattern for its number series for a while now. The new Realme 14 Pro Lite is no different, and it won’t be completely wrong if we say the form factor is copied from the Realme 13 Pro 5G. The device features a sleek, shimmering finish with a glittery pattern and a circular camera island on the back.

Realme 14 Pro Lite Price in Nepal

The front sports a 6.7-inch FullHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2,000 nits peak brightness, and Gorilla Glass 7i protection. For durability, the phone comes with an IP65 rating. You’ll also find an in-display fingerprint scanner for security. The Pro Lite is available in Glass Gold and Glass Purple colors.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, the Realme 14 Pro Lite is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC. This chip includes 4 Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and 4 Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.95GHz. The phone comes with 8GB RAM (plus an extra 8GB of Dynamic RAM) and up to 256GB of storage.

Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC

It runs on Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14, which is a step down from the Pro and Pro+ versions, which have Android 15-based Realme UI 6.0. Guess we will have to sacrifice somewhere!  As for battery life, the Pro Lite packs a 5,200 mAh battery with 45W fast charging.

Camera and Extras

The Realme 14 Pro Lite features a 50MP primary camera with a Sony LYT-600 OSI sensor, along with an 8MP ultrawide lens (112-degree FOV). On the front, there’s a 32MP selfie camera. The phone also includes dual speakers with Hi-Res Audio for an improved sound experience.

Honestly, with specs like that, I was hoping this to be the ‘Realme 14’ but guess Realme has come up with a new lineup in between its base and Pro variants. While the specs are all good, I was hoping we’d be getting some innovation like a new camera or chipset instead of a full-on rebrand.

Realme 14 Pro Lite Specifications

  • Design: Sleek, shimmering pattern, circular camera island
  • Display: 6.7-inch FullHD+ OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,000 nits peak brightness
  • Brightness: 2,000 nits peak brightness
  • Protection: Gorilla Glass 7i
  • Chipset: Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 (Octa-core, 4x Cortex-A78 @ 2.4GHz, 4x Cortex-A55 @ 1.95GHz)
  • RAM: 8GB (plus 8GB Dynamic RAM)
  • ROM: Up to 256GB storage
  • OS/UI: Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14
  • Battery: 5,200mAh with 45W charging
  • Connectivity: 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB Type-C
  • Rear Camera: 50MP (Sony LYT-600 OIS sensor) + 8MP ultrawide (112-degree FOV)
  • Front Camera: 32MP
  • Audio: Dual speakers with Hi-Res Audio
  • Colors: Glass Gold, Glass Purple

Realme 14 Pro Lite Price in Nepal and Availability

The Realme 14 Pro Lite launched in India starting at INR 22,247 for the 8/128GB variant. When it arrives in Nepal, the price is expected to be around NPR 38,000.

Realme 14 Pro Lite Price in India (Official) Price in Nepal (Expected)

Tecno sets the right example of thin phone with its Spark Slim

While we’re all waiting on Apple to drop the iPhone 17 Slim, Android has already jumped ahead with something fresh and sleek. Enter the Tecno Spark Slim, a phone that’s not just thin but packed with impressive features. Revealed at this year’s MWC, this phone measures an insane 5.75mm in thickness. In this article, we will discuss the specifications and expected price in Nepal.

Tecno Spark Slim Overview

Before we get into the specs, let me tell you that the Tecno Spark Slim is a concept phone that is not making its way to the market in this shape and size. However, the company plans to bring some of the cool ideas from this concept into a real product soon. Let’s talk about the specs of this handset anyway.

Design and Display

I think the Tecno Spark Slim has a premium look that gives off Google Pixel vibes. The phone sports a curvy design, with a rear panel that looks like stainless steel (but is actually plastic) and a ceramic finish. For protection, it comes with a Gorilla Glass on the front. The phone’s unibody construction is solid, making it feel sleek and smooth in the hand. At just 5.75mm thick and 146g in weight, the device is light and ultra-slim. Fun fact: The company added some weight to make it feel more solid otherwise, it might’ve felt more like a toy.

Tecno Spark Slim Feature
Image Source: GSM

On the back, you’ll find a cool LED notification light bar sitting between two cameras. It’s a little flashy but in a good way. As for the screen, it’s a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1220p resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Not only does it look stunning, but it also comes with 4500 nits of peak brightness.

Battery and Rest

Powering this beauty is a 5,200 mAh battery that’s only 4.04mm thick. The slim design doesn’t take away from the battery life. And with 45W fast-charging support, you won’t be waiting forever for a full charge, which is definitely a win for a phone this thin.

For the cameras, the Tecno Spark Slim features a solid 50MP primary sensor, which should give you great shots in most conditions. There’s also buzz about the phone featuring the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, but we’re not entirely sure about that just yet.

Tecno Spark Slim Specifications

  • Design: Slim, curvy aesthetic with plastic (looks like stainless steel) and ceramic rear panel
  • Dimensions: 5.75mm thickness, 146g weight
  • Display: 6.78-inch AMOLED, 1220p resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, 4500 nits peak brightness
  • Battery: 5,200mAh, 4.04mm thickness, 45W fast charging
  • Camera: 50MP rear camera
  • Processor: Likely Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (still unconfirmed)
  • Other Features: Notification light-bar LED, Gorilla Glass protection on the front

Tecno Spark Slim Conclusion

Though still a concept, the Tecno Spark Slim already shows a lot of promise, especially for those who crave slim yet powerful devices. Keep an eye out, as this concept might shape the future of smartphones!

HMD Crest review: The best phone under Rs. 20,000 in Nepal!

The 20K segment is pretty competitive with the likes of Redmi, Vivo, Realme, and such topping the charts. But there is a new contender which might disrupt the market. It’s none other than the HMD Crest, and its 6/128GB variant costs exactly 19,000 rupees, which is around 4,000 rupees cheaper in Nepal compared to India. At this price, you get a high refresh rate AMOLED display along with a powerful 5G processor, which no other budget phone under 20,000 rupees in Nepal offers. And I have already used this phone for over a week, and I’ll be sharing my experience in this HMD Crest Review.

Before getting to the review, let’s take a quick look at the specifications, shall we?

About HMD

Some of you might be hearing the name “HMD” for the first time. HMD is a Finland-based smartphone brand that has been making Nokia’s Android and feature phones. But recently, HMD has started launching phones under its own name.

Display and Design

  • 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel
  • 90Hz refresh rate

The thing I liked the most about the HMD Crest is its display. Usually, brands like Redmi, Samsung, and Vivo provide LCD screens, but here, you get an AMOLED panel. On top of that, it’s a Full HD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, no compromises made, whatsoever. Whether you’re browsing the web, watching TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube videos, everything looks crisp and smooth. The only thing missing is a stereo speaker setup; otherwise, the multimedia experience would have been even better. Still, getting a proper AMOLED panel at such an affordable price makes it easy to overlook small shortcomings. Considering everything, the display of the HMD Crest is undoubtedly the best in the 20,000-rupee segment.

Moving on to design and build, the phone looks quite modern. Instead of a U-shaped notch, HMD has given a hole-punch cutout at the front, and the hands-on feel is quite nice. It has flat edges for a modern aesthetic, and the power button also doubles as a fingerprint sensor. The build material is entirely plastic, but surprisingly, it doesn’t feel that cheap.

HMD Crest Display

Repairability

One important aspect of this phone is its repairability. According to HMD, you can replace the battery, charging port, back cover, and even the screen yourself. There’s a Repair Kit available for around 2,000 rupees, though it’s not available in Nepal yet. However, the company has announced that it will be coming soon.

Performance

  • Unisoc T760 5G (4nm)
  • 6GB LPDDR4X RAM, 128GB storage UFS 2.2 (fixed)
  • Android 14

Now, let’s talk about performance. The HMD Crest comes with the Unisoc T760 5G chipset, 6GB RAM, and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The AnTuTu score of the HMD Crest 5G is 460,000, which is the highest among phones under 20,000 rupees in Nepal. Another highlight is its UI, as it runs stock Android 14, offering a clean software experience with no ads or bloatware. Easily the cleanest UI experience on a budget phone. For gaming, casual games like Subway Surfers, Temple Run, and Clash Royale run smoothly, and even PUBG plays decently at 40 fps. Overall, the performance and software of the HMD Crest are excellent for the price.

HMD Crest Gaming

Connectivity

  • 5G, 4G, VoLTE
  • Bluetooth 5.0

In terms of connectivity, the HMD Crest supports all the necessary frequency bands for NTC and Ncell, including Band 20. This means even if you live in a rural area, you’ll still get a strong 4G connection for NTC. In urban areas, carrier aggregation is supported for faster 4G speeds. Meanwhile, VoLTE works on NTC alongside carrier video calling.

Battery Life

  • 5,000 mAh battery (33W wired charging)
  • 33W PD power adapter inside the box

Battery life is also really impressive. It has a large 5,000 mAh battery, which easily lasted me a day and a half on average usage. When it comes to charging, other brands need to learn from HMD because it includes a 33W PD charger in the box, along with a Type-C to Type-C cable—something even many midrange and premium midrange phones don’t offer. This charger can even be used to charge other PD-supported devices like iPhones and MacBooks. As for the phone itself, it takes around 1.5 hours to fully charge.

HMD Crest Charging

Cameras

  • Dual camera setup at the back
  • (50MP main, 2MP depth)
  • 50MP selfie camera (hole-punch cutout)

Finally, let’s discuss the cameras. The HMD Crest has a total of three camera sensors: a 50MP primary sensor, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 50MP selfie camera. While the specs sound good, the actual camera quality is just average and the app itself also feels slow.

HMD Crest Camera

Daylight

The daylight photos are just average, the details are not adequate, while the white balance is slightly off.

Portraits

The portraits are just decent if not great. The dynamic range is just as in every other budget phone. Overall,

Selfie

The selfies are nice though and usable. More like social media ready, I’d say.

Lowlight

When the sun goes down, the HMD Crest’s night mode can offer some help. Although I don’t recommend clicking night shots from a budget phone unless you have a special moment to be captured.

Video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps on both the front and rear cameras, and the overall video quality is quite average. But again, this is a budget phone, so there’s no point in being too picky. In good lighting conditions, it captures decent photos, and I especially liked the selfie camera. It performs better than budget phones from other Chinese brands.

HMD Crest Review: Conclusion

So, in conclusion, for 19,000 rupees, the HMD Crest is the best budget phone in Nepal right now. It offers a great 90Hz AMOLED display, smooth performance, a clean stock Android experience, and an all-day battery life. On top of that, HMD includes a 33W PD charger in the box, and its Unisoc processor supports 5G, making it future-proof. If you’re looking for a well-balanced budget phone around 20,000 rupees, the HMD Crest is the one to go for!

HMD Crest Review: Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent AMOLED panel on a budget
  • Clean Stock Android Experience
  • 33W PD charger in the box

Cons

  • Average back camera
  • Single Speaker

Vivo launches T4x 5G in India with a large 6500mAh battery

Vivo has launched the Vivo T4x 5G as a successor to the Vivo T3x 5G. This new phone brings a bigger battery and improved internal specs. Let’s get into the depth of the key features of the Vivo T4x 5G, including its expected price in Nepal.

Vivo T4x 5G Overview

Vivo T4x 5G Design and Display

The 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD screen (1,080 x 2,408 pixels) is large and sharp, perfect for watching content, but I think for a 5G model, they could have gone with an AMOLED display this time. Moreover, with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1050 nits brightness, it promises smooth visuals and bright colors. Plus, it has TÜV Rheinland Eye Protection certification for eye safety. Not just that, it is also built to be durable with MIL-STD-810H military-grade and IP64 dust and water resistance. For extra security, the device comes with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, the Vivo T4x 5G is powered by an octa-core MediaTek 7300 chipset, which includes 4 Cortex-A78 cores (up to 2.5GHz) and 4 Cortex-A55 cores. This chipset handles everyday tasks easily and light gaming quite well. Likewise, in terms of graphics, the handset comes with the Arm Mali-G615 GPU. The phone offers different RAM and storage options: 6/128GB, 8/128GB, and 8/256GB, so you can choose according to your needs.

MediaTek Dimensity 7300X

The Vivo T4x 5G comes with a massive 6500mAh battery, which is one of the largest in its class, and it seems like this is the first Vivo T series to come outside China with such a big battery. The handset also supports 44W fast charging, which can charge the phone fully in under an hour. It runs on Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15, promising a smooth software experience with two Android updates and three years of security patches.

Camera and Rest

For the rear cameras, the Vivo T4x 5G includes a 50MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. On the front, there’s an 8MP selfie camera for clear self-portraits. Well,… not a groundbreaking setup, but it’s a good to-go option.

For connectivity, the phone supports 5G, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, and a USB Type-C port. You will also get dual stereo speakers for better sound quality. AI-powered features like AI Eraser and AI Photo Enhancer are included to improve photos and offer more convenience.

Apple launches new Mac Studio with M3 Ultra and M4 Max chips

Apple has unveiled its 2025 Mac Studio, a compact desktop workstation featuring the new M4 Max chip alongside the M3 Ultra. This update replaces the previous M2 Max and M2 Ultra models from 2023. The new Mac Studio sits between the Mac Mini and Mac Pro in Apple’s lineup, targeting creative professionals, developers, and data scientists. This article will discuss everything about the latest

Mac Studio Overview

The 2025 Mac Studio maintains its compact form factor while delivering significant performance improvements. The device features either an M4 Max or M3 Ultra chip, providing substantial computing power for demanding tasks. Additionally, it supports up to five external displays and includes multiple connectivity options.

Furthermore, the new Mac Studio comes with macOS Sequoia, which includes Apple Intelligence features such as writing tools, image generation, and Siri enhancements. The system also includes a backlit Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and either a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad.

Performance 

The M4 Max chip is built on a 3nm process and delivers up to 2.5x faster CPU and 4x faster GPU performance compared to the latest AI PC chips. Meanwhile, the M3 Ultra doubles the M3 Max’s capabilities with up to 32-core CPU and 80-core GPU.

Mac studio 2025 performance

Both chips feature Neural Engines for AI tasks, with the M4 Max housing a 16-core version and the M3 Ultra containing a 32-core unit. This hardware enables the Mac Studio to handle complex workflows like large language models and advanced video processing.

Memory and Storage

The M4 Max offers a memory starting at 36GB, which can be upgraded to 48GB, 64GB, or 128GB of unified memory. In comparison, the M3 Ultra begins with a much larger 96GB of unified memory, upgradeable to 256GB or even 512GB. The M4 Max boasts a memory bandwidth of up to 273GB/s, marking a 75% increase over the M3 Pro and double the performance of AI-focused PC chips. Meanwhile, the M3 Ultra achieves even higher bandwidth thanks to its dual-chip architecture, reaching up to 800GB/s in some configurations.

When it comes to storage, the M4 Max starts at 512GB SSD, with options to upgrade to 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, or 8TB. The M3 Ultra, on the other hand, begins at 1TB SSD, with upgrades available to 2TB, 4TB, 8TB, or a massive 16TB, offering more storage options right from the base model.

Connectivity Options

The Mac Studio includes four Thunderbolt ports (Thunderbolt 5 for M4 Max models or Thunderbolt 4 for M3 Ultra), two USB-A ports, HDMI, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 10Gb Ethernet port. For wireless connections, it features Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

The Thunderbolt 5 ports on M4 Max models provide data transfer speeds of up to 120Gb/s, doubling the capacity of Thunderbolt 4 connections.

Why Apple Launched the M3 Ultra So Late (2025)?

There are whispers that Apple’s delay in launching the M3 Ultra in 2025 might be tied to a mix of manufacturing issues and strategic decisions. Sources suggest TSMC’s 3nm process faced some yield problems, causing production hiccups, while the M3 Ultra’s complex design, requiring two M3 Max chips, may have added extra challenges. Rumor has it that Apple’s usual 18-month product cycle also played a role, pushing the M3 Ultra’s release to better align with the Mac Studio and Mac Pro refreshes. With the M3 for laptops and the A17 Bionic for iPhones taking priority in 2023, the M3 Ultra seemed to take a backseat for a while.

There are also rumors circulating that Apple used the extra time to fine-tune the M3 Ultra’s performance, especially for AI and pro workflows, making sure it was ready for prime time. Some even speculate that Apple may have delayed the launch to better position the M3 Ultra against AMD and Intel’s latest high-core-count processors. Economic factors like tariffs and production cost adjustments are also believed to have played a role in the timing, which also suggests Apple was waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE (+) might launch soon!

The Galaxy Tab S9 FE became one of the best budget-friendly Android tablets. And now, quite obviously, the company is planning to continue this lineup by adding a successor series. Here, we are talking about the upcoming  Galaxy Tab S10 FE and FE+. There are some fresh rumors about the specifications of these upcoming devices. Let’s dive into the details.

Galaxy S10 FE Series Overview

The FE series has always been the go-to for those seeking an affordable tablet with a similar experience to high-end models. The upcoming S10 FE series will follow this trend. While these new tablets will look like the S9 FE models, some key changes are expected.

Design and Display

The Galaxy S10 FE and S10 FE+ will closely resemble the Galaxy Tab S9 FE with a plain, sleek design. The FE+ model will measure 300.5mm x 194.7mm and be 6mm thick. These models will come in Gray, Silver, and Blue colors.

The Tab S10 FE will have a 10.9-inch display with a 2304 x 1440 resolution, while the FE+ will sport a larger 13.1-inch screen with a 2880 x 1800 resolution. It’s still unclear whether Samsung will upgrade the panels to OLED or stick with LCD. Since these are “FE” models, I think…I think they are more likely to stick with LCD. Moreover, both tablets will feature an IP68 rating and a metallic build and will come with an S Pen for note-taking and drawing.

Performance and Features

Under the hood, both the tablets will run on the Exynos 1580 chip with an octa-core setup. The processor includes 1 Cortex-A720 core at 2900 MHz, 3 cores at 2600 MHz, and 4 cores at 1950 MHz. This new chip will deliver up to 45% better performance and up to 80% better graphics performance compared to the Exynos 1380 used in the S9 FE series. Both models will offer 8GB or 12GB of RAM with 128GB or 256GB of storage.

For battery life, the FE model will have an 8,000 mAh battery, while the FE+ will feature a larger 10,090 mAh battery. Both tablets will support 45W wired charging. On the back, expect a simple 13MP camera with a flash. Front-facing, both devices will have a 12MP ultrawide camera capable of recording 4K video at 30fps.

Deutsche Telekom is soon launching an AI phone with Perplexity

At MWC 2025, Deutsche Telekom announced its upcoming AI phone. For those who are not familiar with the company, Deutsche Telekom is a German-based company that is also one of the largest telecommunication providers in Europe. They operate their smartphone business through their T-Mobile company. The company has collaborated with Perplexity AI to design this phone. Let’s get into the depth of it.

Deutsche Telekom AI Phone Overview

The AI phone is designed to be “app-less,” controlled mainly by voice commands. You’ll be able to book flights, make restaurant reservations, call a taxi, and shop, all without switching between apps. This is pretty impressive, and it seems like a huge step toward simplifying smartphone use. The phone is being developed in collaboration with Perplexity, Picsart, and other partners and will feature a new AI assistant app called “Magenta AI.”

Deutsche Telekom’s phone features

The phone will run a custom Magenta AI operating system, which replaces the usual app-based interface with Perplexity Assistant. You can interact with the phone using voice commands, typing, or even using the camera to perform tasks. For example, you could tell it to translate text or search for something using your camera, much like Apple’s Visual Intelligence feature. This sounds pretty convenient and a lot more seamless than constantly jumping between apps, don’t you think?

Hardware and Rest

As for the hardware, Deutsche Telekom hasn’t revealed much. But from the images, it looks like the phone will be a budget or midrange Android device. It has thick bezels on the top and bottom and a pink sleep/wake button, which gives it a bit of character.

Availability

We will officially get to see this device later this year, and it will offer access to Perplexity Assistant, Google Cloud AI, ElevenLabs, Picsart, and a suite of other AI tools. Deutsche Telekom also confirmed that the AI features will be integrated into the Mein Magenta app, which can be downloaded from Google Play. Overall, it will be exciting to see how this phone will reshape our experience with AI and smartphones.
