Gaming-Centric Nubia Red Magic 3 exclusively launched in Daraz.

Having entered the Nepalese smartphone market just over a year ago, Nubia – the subsidiary of ZTE has a lot of interesting offerings especially with its gaming “Red Magic” line of smartphones. With the sudden and exponential surge in the mobile gaming ecosystem in the country, there’s definitely a demand for quality gaming phones here. While the likes of Asus ROG and Razer phone are yet to see the light of day in Nepal, Nubia is hoping to stir the pot in the mobile gaming market with the launch of its “Red Magic 3” smartphone. The company has exclusively tied up with Daraz to launch the Nubia Redmi Magic 3 in Nepal.

Nubia Red Magic 3 Specs Overview:

Launched in May of 2019, the Red Magic 3 garnered a lot of buzz in the global smartphone market. With its tantalizing design and an industry-first internal cooling fan, it sure stood out against the competition. The Red Magic 3 is the successor to last year’s Red Magic Mars, with a similar design aesthetic and lots of upgrades underneath.

As aforementioned, the phone boasts the world’s first built-in cooling fan in a smartphone. It has active liquid cooling with turbo fan, which Nubia claims enables the Red Magic 3 to be 5x more effective in heat transfer than other passively cooled phones. So, one definitely need not worry about the phone being overheated.

On top of this, the built-in customizable capacitive shoulder triggers and the enhanced vibration engine with haptic feedback makes the Red Magic 3 a behemoth of a gaming phone. And for you RGB lighting fans out there, the phone houses an RGB LED strip in the back with 16.8 million colors and multiple lighting effects which is also customizable. The side of the phone has a Pogo Pin connector that enables the use of Nubia’s Docking Station which supports additional headphone, ethernet, and Type-C connection. Also, Nubia’s first-party Gaming Pad can be used after installing a case.

Aside from the gaming-centric features, the phone doesn’t compromise on other aspects either. It has a 6.65” widescreen 90Hz AMOLED display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio for a smooth and vibrant experience. The phone has Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC with Adreno 640 GPU which is powered by a monstrous 5000mAh battery with 18W quick-charging capability. Additionally, the Red Magic 3 comes in 3 configurations with the highest one having up to 12GB RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage.

Images of the OnePlus TV surfaces online, apparently includes a soundbar

OnePlus is all set to launch the OnePlus 7T next week. However, as rumors suggest, the event will not be all about the 7T only. Speculations suggest that OnePlus will also reveal the new TV at the event too. And mind you these are not baseless rumors. In fact, with the event date nearing, many leaked images of the OnePlus TV are surfacing online.

OnePlus TV Overview

In these leaked images, you can see the TV along with its custom remote control and what supposedly is the OnePlus soundbar.

The images are in-line with the teaser poster as you can see the uniquely designed stand of the TV on one side. Furthermore, the image also shows a sleek remote control, which confirms the initial pictures of the controller. However, the OnePlus branded soundbar is the highlight of these images.

Now it is completely possible that the image is actually a photoshopped one. Someone out there might just have wanted to create a new wave of rumors about OnePlus. Thus, confirmation about its validity cannot be given. However, if this turns out to be true, the complete OnePlus TV set will surely be the one to look forward to.

Moreover, in the same image, we can also see a subwoofer. However, the wooden table obstructs its view. Therefore, we cannot even put forward speculation about whether it is also from OnePlus or not.

No detail is too small, from top to bottom. #OnePlusTV pic.twitter.com/46xB5zg2Rh

— Pete Lau (@PeteLau) September 20, 2019

Now, this is not the end of the released images of the TV. Pete Lau, the CEO of OnePlus, further tweeted a series of images of the TV. And from what I can conjure, the TV’s will indeed have a very sleek design.

The OnePlus TV will probably launch only in India at first. This will be the first time that OnePlus is venturing into the world of televisions. However, considering their eye for designs and the impact that they have had in the smartphone industry, the world will be highly expectant of the Chinese tech giants.

Mystery deepens regarding Mi Mix Alpha’s design: Could feature 100% screen-to-body ratio

If not a folding-phone, what on earth is Xiaomi planning to launch as the Mi Mix Alpha? Ever since its first teaser released, we all thought that with this device, Xiaomi too was going to hop into the folding phone train. However, the speculation about its device can now be put to a stop. That’s because an official statement confirmed that the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha is not going to be a folding-screen phone.

Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, via Weibo clarified that the Mi Mix Alpha will not be the company’s first folding phone. However, his post further increased the mystery surrounding the devices’ design. Per him, Mi Mix Alpha will have a very subversive and shocking design. Now, what’s the shock factor here no one knows for sure. Thus, for now, all we can do is wait for the jaw-dropping moment to arrive.

However, the news doesn’t end there. With the new teasers, one can actually make a few calculated guesses about the device. For instance, the teaser poster hint that Mi Mix Alpha will have a revolutionary curved design. Now, curved design on a smartphone isn’t a new thing, however, with the Mi Mix Alpha, Xiaomi is planning for something extraordinary. This curved design supposedly will give the device a 100% screen-to-body ratio.

Moreover, other rumors suggest that the Mi Mix Alpha is going to be much more than a 100% screen phone. Some other teasers that we found revealed the 5G capabilities of the phone and also something interesting about the devices’ front camera. The official tweet from the company suggests that the device will not have a pop-up nor a notch housed front camera. So, what’s it going to be?

In the 5G era, are you ready to see a new solution? ?

3 days until the special product launch event, stay tuned!#Xiaomi #MiMIXAlpha #ArtxTechnology #MIUI11 pic.twitter.com/u8taEW7a8S

— Xiaomi #FortuneGlobal500 (@Xiaomi) September 21, 2019

Well, people following Xiaomi will know that the company has already developed an under-display camera system. Thus, it’s likely that we will get to see this tech in action on the new Mi Mix Alpha. These budding rumors suggest that with Mi Mix Alpha, Xiaomi is planning on be at the forefront of innovation. This makes the 24^th September Xiaomi planned event a much-anticipated one. Hopefully, Xiaomi will not disappoint us.

Huawei Nova 5T launched in Nepal: Better than Redmi K20 Pro?

Huawei Nova 5T launched in Nepal: Better than Redmi K20 Pro?

Huawei has officially launched the Nova 5T in Nepal. It is a device targetted at the upper midrange market segment. The phone comes with decent camera setup and a flagship-grade Kirin 980 chipset. Let’s see out if it can battle against the likes of Redmi K20 Pro in its price range.

Huawei Nova 5T Overview

Camera

Since the camera is the major highlight of the phone, let’s talk about it first. The phone embraces a quad-camera setup on the back. The camera quadruplet comprises of a 48MP main camera, which uses a Sony sensor and an f/1.8 lens. A 16MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor complete the camera module. The dynamic range of the picture is good for the price range. Ultra-wide angle shots are also average. The macro lens is a gimmick at its best as it can’t capture many details. On the front rests a 32MP selfie shooter right under the punch-hole cutout. The selfies come out very well on this device.

Performance and Memory

Performance-wise, you get the HiSilicon Kirin 980 chipset, which is the flagship SoC in Huawei’s arsenal and which we have seen in a much expensive P30 Pro. The chipset can perform the everyday tasks fluidly and handles just fine. But rivals like K20 Pro come with Snapdragon 855 which is more powerful and handier for gamers.

Check out our review of Huawei Nova 5T

The performance is further complemented by 8GB of RAM. The phone also ships with GPU Turbo 3.0 software, which promises smoother gameplay even while playing high-end and demanding games. It comes with a Performance mode that contributes to smoother gameplay but at the expense of battery life.

Talking about the storage, Huawei Nova 5T comes aboard with 128GB of onboard memory. However, you won’t get an option to expand the storage any further as the phone lacks an SD card slot.

Display

On to the display front, Huawei Nova 5T features a 6.26-inch IPS panel with Full-HD resolution. Just like on the Galaxy M40, Vivo Z1 Pro, and the Samsung flagship devices, the Nova 5T also gets a tiny punch-hole cutout on the top of the display. Since there is no OLED panel, you won’t get the in-display fingerprint here. Awkwardly, Huawei managed to place the fingerprint scanner on the side. In addition, you also get the Face Unlock feature as well.

The power supply to the phone is provided by a 3750mAh battery. Huawei has also included 22.5-watt SuperCharge support with which the phone gains up to 50% of charge just in 24 minutes.

Huawei Nova 5T Specifications:

Display: 6.26-inch IPS LCD display with a punch-hole cutout
Resolution: Full HD+ (1080 x 2340 pixels), 19.5:9 aspect ratio @ 412 PPI

Xiaomi Redmi 7 received a price drop in Nepal: The budget phone got even cheaper!

Xiaomi brings a lot of phones every year. Since they bring a lot of phones. So it’s really hard to keep track of all the Xiaomi smartphones out there. Plus the model names are equally confusing. So the launch and price drops of the Xiaomi phones usually get us befuddled unless we see the specs. Xiaomi recently cut the price of Redmi Note 7 in Nepal. And it didn’t take too long to cut the price of another smartphone in their Redmi series. This time, the company slashed the price of the Redmi 7. Although the name may sound confusing, let me clear it out for you. The Redmi 7 is a budget device, whereas the Redmi Note 7 is a lower mid-range handset. Since both of these devices have received a price drop, you’ve got quite a treat if you were planning to buy any one of these this Dashain.

Redmi 7 Overview:

On the design side, the Redmi 7 looks blatantly similar to the Redmi Note 7. It comes with a plastic back with an appealing gradient color. Even on the front, there is nothing much of a major difference. The Redmi 7 comes with a 6.26-inch IPS display with a minuscule notch on the top. The display on this device is shielded by Gorilla Glass 5. So the handset has better chances of survival during the falls. However, the resolution here is only HD+. So you might notice some pixelation while viewing the contents on the phone.

On the performance side, the phone gets the Snapdragon 632 chipset. Although three memory variants were launched in the international market (2/16GB, 3/32GB, and 4/64GB). But in the case of Nepal, you get the 2/32GB and 3/32GB variants.

The phone boots with Android Pie out of the box with MIUI 9 on the top. And talking about the camera, there is a dual-camera setup at the back. A combination of 12MP and 2MP sensors form a camera duo on this device. With two rear cameras at its disposal, the handset is also capable of capturing portrait images. On the front lies an 8MP snapper, which takes care of the selfies.

On the battery front, the handset is enriched with a 4000mAh non-removable battery. With a low-res display on the board, it may provide a decent backup. The phone also comes with a 10W charger on the box.

Samsung devices update tracker: Even low-end Samsung devices are getting Android 10 update

It seems that the Android 10 update is just around the corner. And we’ll get to see the latest iteration of the Android first hand on the new Pixel series. But what about other devices. Well, I cannot speak for each and every Android device out there, but rumors about certain Samsung devices have surfaced online. However, there’s no confirmation about the validity of this list. Whatever it may be the this leaked Samsung devices update tracker does look promising.

From what we found, it seems that most of the 2019 Samsung devices will receive the Android 10 updates. Aside from the flagships, the low-end Galaxy M series and the mid-range Galaxy A series will also receive the updates.

Android 10 promises to bring with it some advanced customizing and privacy features. The highlights as we know till now about the Android 10 is the Live Caption, Smart reply, Sound Amplifier and many more. Furthermore, this year marks the change in the naming of the Android OS as it no more is a reference to a tasty dessert. Yes, you read that right, android 10’s name will not be attached to any dessert.

Another major change that Google seemingly has brought in the Android 10 is in the Privacy department. Now more than ever, people are concerned about their privacy. Concerned that their data is being used without their consent. So, it was probably a high time that the new Android featured some privacy update. The new app permissions give users a much better understanding and control over what the apps can and cannot access.

Coming back to the Samsung Android 10 leaks, we find that the major missing in the list were the Samsung S8 series and the Note 8. Then again Samsung promises only two-year major Android updates on its devices.

Though we’ve sort of found a tentative list of the Samsung devices that’ll probably receive the Android 10 updates, we’ve no knowledge about the time frame. So, for that, you’ll have to wait for an official statement from Samsung itself. The obvious priority for Samsung will be its flagships. But hopefully, the mid-range and low-end devices won’t have to wait too long for the update.

Vivo Nex 3 5G with waterfall display and Snapdragon 855+ launched

Vivo Nex 3 5G with waterfall display and Snapdragon 855+ launched

Vivo usually brings midrange and budget phones to the market. In that context, its V-series and Y-series devices are quite popular in the market. But recently, Vivo is shifting its focus from the affordable devices to the flagship ones. And its gaming-oriented flagship Vivo IQOO Pro smartphone is here for the proof. The Chinese smartphone maker is also bringing a lot of innovations in the industry. Vivo was the first to bring a pop-up style selfie camera and an in-display fingerprint scanner. Pushing its innovation further, this time, the company has brought Vivo Nex 5G smartphone. And in this flagship device, Vivo has incorporated a waterfall display.

Overview:

The major highlight of the device is surely its waterfall display. The phone comes with 6.89-inch Super AMOLED panel without any sort of bezels, notches or hole-punch cutout. Vivo flaunts a whopping 99.6% of screen-to-body ratio on this device. To achieve that, the company has tried to remove almost all the bezels on the forehead and the chin. So there is a motorized pop-up selfie camera on the front. To remove the bezels on the sides, there are extremely curvy edges, which are curved to nearly 90-degrees. To curve a screen in such a way definitely has to be a challenging job. Maybe that’s why Vivo had to get rid of the physical buttons entirely. But it did not much of a surprise though. Vivo had already removed all kind of ports and buttons in the Vivo Apex 2 2019.

As a replacement to the physical buttons, Vivo has brought virtual buttons named ‘Touch Sense’. And Vivo says that the Touch Sense simulates the real touch of the buttons and delivers “more exquisite vibration feedback in various use cases”. For the Haptic feedback, there is an X-Axis Haptic system. With the X-Axis haptic, the smartphone should provide a more comfortable vibration, applied to games, typing and other scenes.

As for the performance, there is Snapdragon 855+ chipset. And this flagship chipset is complemented by either 8GB or 12GB of RAM. You also get 256GB of UFS 3.0 storage under the hood. For cooling, the phone has been provided with Vapor Chamber Cooling System. And with this hardware setup, Vivo is pushing this device as a gaming phone. The phone also comes with a Qualcomm’s X50 5G modem inside, which makes it the first gaming phone with the next-gen connectivity feature.

On to the camera front, there is a triple camera on the rear panel tucked neatly inside the circular slot. Among the three, the primary one incorporates a 64MP Samsung ISOCELL GW1 sensor with an f/1.8 lens. A 13MP telephoto lens and a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens complete its rear camera module. Talking about the selfie camera, there is a motorized selfie camera. But unlike the Vivo V15 and V15 Pro, the size of the module is rather wide. Alongside the selfie shooter, an LED flash also comes in the elevating module.

Since the 5G-enabled phones devour quite a lot of battery juice, Vivo has included a massive 4500mAh battery on this device. And to refuel the battery, there is also 44-watt fast charging support.

Vianet and Worldlink’s Dashain offer was definitely tempting. That was until we saw the offer from Subisu. For the upcoming festive season, Subisu has also brought Subisu Dashain Tihar offer. And the offer is definitely compelling. The Internet Service Provider is offering its Internet and Clear TV Service for a mere price Rs. 99.

Subisu Dashain Tihar offer

The current plan of Subisu costs Rs. 1,158, Rs. 1,358, and Rs. 2,058 per month respectively for its 30 Mbps, 40 Mbps, and 75 Mbps internet packages. But in this Dashain offer, you can connect the internet to your home and offices just for Rs. 99. And that too after the inclusion of VAT. So the deal really sounds lucrative. However, it should be noted that this offer is only available for the new subscribers. Existing customers still have to pay the price included on their old tariff plan.

Rs. 99 for a month of the internet is surely one heck of a deal. But one cannot simply take advantage of this offer by Rs. 99. New subscribers have to pay Rs. 1,327 as ONU Device Charge to use the internet services. So that makes a total of Rs. 1,415 (VAT excluded) for a month of internet and an ONU router. That’s still a great deal though. And what’s even interesting is that, despite the internet bandwidth (30 Mbps, 40 Mbps or 75 Mbps), you will just have to pay Rs. 1,415 for the ONU device, its installation and a month of internet.

It’s in the case of Clear TV as well. The TV service is also available for just Rs. 99 (VAT included), which originally used to cost Rs. 442 for the premium package. This service is also for new subscribers. And the new customers have to pay Rs. 1,327 extra for the Clear TV Set-Top Box. So just like the internet service, you will have to pay a total of Rs. 1,415 for a month of TV service. You can also subscribe to both of these services at once for Rs. 2,829.
