Samsung delays the launch of the Galaxy Fold after the screen breaking issues

With the Galaxy Fold, Samsung showed us a glimpse of the future. A device that unfolds into a tablet and remains as a smartphone in a folded form, that’s already a dope tech. This innovative piece of tech also garnered galore of applauds from the tech enthusiasts since its announcement. But the tech seems quite raw in terms of developments. And the recent screen breakages clearly implied that the device is not yet ready to sail to the consumers’ end. Samsung had announced to launch the device in China on the 24th and 26th of April. But this failure made the Samsung wary so it released a press release announcing the postponements of the launch event. Alongside the launch, Samsung also delayed the Galaxy Fold employee training for an indefinite time.

The Galaxy Fold Failure incidents

Samsung had sent Galaxy Fold units to the various tech reviewers and other celebrities. And this issue comes into the limelight as the units on the reviewers’ end started flashing to the death. And these screen failures unfolded two fatal screen damaging scenarios.

The first reason for the screen failure was due to peeling of the protective plastic layer atop of the display. Since most of the smartphone these days comes aboard with the screen protector, it was an easy thing to get confused. Also, there were no warning and indications against that. So it’s not actually the fault of the reviewers.

Another issue was with the device itself. There seem to have some problems with the display of folding mechanism because of which the screen flashed to death while folding and unfolding the device.

The Aftermath

Understanding the gravity of the situation, Samsung released a press release that it will take some time to rectify the issues. And for that, the South Korean tech giant postponed the launch event and apologized for the delay. However, Samsung has not yet announced when it will officially launch the device. And Samsung hopes everyone will understand the situation. Since it’s a $1,980 device, we think everyone will understand the situation and wait for a finished product rather than rushing for a half-baked device. But this may tarnish Samsung’s reputation in the tech industry for a while.

Below is Samsung’s official announcement for the Samsung Galaxy Fold delay.

“We recently unveiled a completely new mobile category: a smartphone using multiple new technologies and materials to create a display that is flexible enough to fold. We are encouraged by the excitement around the Galaxy Fold.

While many reviewers shared with us the vast potential they see, some also showed us how the device needs further improvements that could ensure the best possible user experience.

To fully evaluate this feedback and run further internal tests, we have decided to delay the release of the Galaxy Fold. We plan to announce the release date in the coming weeks.

Initial findings from the inspection of reported issues on the display showed that they could be associated with an impact on the top and bottom exposed areas of the hinge. There was also an instance where substances found inside the device affected the display performance.

We will take measures to strengthen the display protection. We will also enhance the guidance on care and use of the display including the protective layer so that our customers get the most out of their Galaxy Fold. Samsung values the trust of its customers’ place in us and they are always our top priority. We are committed to working closely with customers and partners to move the industry forward. We want to thank them for their patience and understanding.”

OPPO A1K goes official in Russia, coming soon to Nepal

OPPO A1K is official, and we finally have a full list of the detailed spec sheet. As you might already know, the phone is all but set to launch in Nepal as well. This should be the successor to their current OPPO A1 and should help them gain some market share in the budget segment. So let’s start off with its specs first.

The phone comes with a 6.2″ HD+ display with an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. With a water drop notch and a screen to body ratio of 87.4%, the panel comes protected by Gorilla Glass 3. As for the internals, MediaTek Helio P22 is in-charge of the processing, with 2 or 4GB of RAM and 32 or 64GB of expandable internal storage.  OPPO A1K price nepal

Camera wise, you get an 8MP f/2.2 sensor at the back and a 5MP f/2.0 at the front. Battery size comes in at 4000mAh, which recharges through a micro USB port. The phone runs on Android 9.0 with ColorOS 6 on top. Color options include Black and Red. So, you might have noticed it, the phone does not pack a fingerprint sensor.

Which for the price, isn’t a deal breaker. The market price of 9,990 rubles converts to around 11,000 Indian rupees. While that’s a direct comparison, the phone is rumored to launch in India for Rs 7,990, according to a report by 91mobiles. So, if OPPO Nepal decides to launch it for, let’s say close to the Indian pricing, this could be interesting.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Review: The Best Budget Phone So Far?

Xiaomi launches three budget phones for its Redmi series every year. This year too, it came up with the Redmi 7 series with a normal variant, a Note variant, and a Pro variant. And like the previous years, the Note 7 And the Note 7 Pro have taken all the spotlight.

The Redmi 7 here is the cheapest among the bunch and offers good improvements over the last years Redmi 6, at least on paper. So, let’s find out if the Redmi 7 provides enough value for the price like its siblings.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Specifications

  • Display: 6.26-inch IPS HD+ display, Gorilla Glass 5 Protection, 19:9 aspect ratio @ 269PPI
  • Chipset: Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 632
  • GPU: Adreno 506
  • RAM: 2 GB / 3 GB
  • Storage: 16 GB / 32 GB; Expandable up to 512GB via SD card (dedicated slot)
  • OS: Android Pie (v9.0) with MIUI 10 on the top
  • Rear Camera: Dual camera – 12 MP, f/2.2, 1.25 μm, PDAF + 2 MP, depth sensor; LED flash
  • Front Camera: 8MP
  • Sensors: Fingerprint (rear-mounted), accelerometer, proximity, compass
  • Battery: 4000mAh with Quick Charge 3.0 support; Uses Micro USB 2.0 port
  • Colors: Black, Blue, Red
  • Price: Rs. 13,999 (2/32GB) | Rs. 15,999 (3/32GB) 

Design and Build

The Redmi 7, as expected, comes in a glossy plastic body and a plastic frame. On hands though, the feel is not very cheap. It feels sturdy enough, unlike last years Redmi 6 which had creaks and poor build quality.

This shiny plastic back, however, can easily get scratches and on a long run you will lose colors and it will wear out, So, the first thing you should do if you are getting this phone is buy a decent back cover.

Xiaomi redmi 7 design

One of the major upgrades the Redmi 7 has received over the Redmi 6 is the design up front. While the 6 had a smaller 5.45-inch display that came without any notch, the Redmi 7 has a big 6.26-inch display with a waterdrop notch.

Even with the large bezel on the bottom, Xiaomi has made some use of the space adding in an LED notification indicator. Good job, Xiaomi!

Display

The display we are looking at here is an HD display which is definitely not sharp if you compare it against full HD displays, but it’s still good enough for the price. The display is colorful and fairly color accurate. It is bright and gets the job done while you are using it outside.

xiaomi redmi 7 display

This display also offers a variety of settings to change the colors and contrast, so you can change as per your liking.

The best thing about this display is it is protected by a Gorilla Glass 5. I think this is the first time I have seen a gorilla glass 5 on a budget phone. However, with the dust swirling around the environment, I suggest you apply a tempered glass to add an extra level of protection.

Performance

Another talking point of the Xiaomi Redmi 7 is the internals. This device has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 inside, which is quite a performer. There are two variants of the phone, and the one I reviewed is the 3 + 32 GB RAM, and if you’re buying this device, buy this variant and not the 2 + 16 GB version. Since you are getting quite a decent processor, the 2GB RAM and 16GB storage variant won’t be enough if you intend to install and play a lot of high-end games.

With the Snapdragon 632, even high demanding games like PUBG and Asphalt 9 runs smoothly on medium settings. For the price, everything works like the way it’s supposed to, and even while running a few applications on the background, I haven’t really faced stutters. But there are times when the applications take a while to open up. It’s not always but several times, the time I tap the app icon and the time it takes to load up is around a second or two.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Benchmark Tests

  • Geekbench v4.3.2
    • Single-core: 1246
    • Multi-core: 4336
  • AnTuTu v7:
    • 105764
  • 3D Mark

    • Slingshot Extreme Vulkan: 542
  • Andro Bench
    • Sequential Read: 298.56 MB/s
    • Sequential Write: 122.31 MB/s

Software and UI

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Software UI

The Xiaomi Redmi 7 runs on Android v9 Pie out of the box with Xiaomi’s own skin on top. The MIUI 10 software helps with the software experience, there are a lot of customizations in stores, and everything feels snappy. I still don’t like the lack of app menu, and also the fact that there are several pre-installed applications that you cannot delete. And obviously, with Xiaomi, you get ads here and there in the user interface. Also, the window that always pops up when you install an application is an absolute nuisance.

Camera

xiaomi redmi 7 camera

Now, the Redmi 7 is a budget-oriented device. So, testing out the cameras on the phone, I had kept my expectations low. Specs wise, there’s a 13MP primary sensor with an extra 2 MP depth sensor for portraits, and that’s what I checked first.

The portrait shot on the phone, well, check out the skin color. That picture looks like someone just applied an Instagram effect on it. Yes, the overall picture might look good, but that skin color is not at all natural. And it’s really inconsistent with the edge detection too.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Color Tone

In terms of the color tone from normal images, the Redmi 7 captures pictures with a colder tone in a daylight environment. The color tone depends completely on a user’s preference though. So, no judgment here.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Details

Talking about the details, the photos look good normally, but if you zoom into it, you will notice the lack of sharpness and details on the images.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Saturation

What’s nice on the Redmi 7’s rear camera photos is the saturation. While smartphones from various manufacturers, for example, Samsung, opt for oversaturated colors, the Redmi 7 remains true and that’s one of the plus points of its cameras.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Dynamic Range

But in terms of dynamic range, the shadow detail is quite poor, and you won’t really notice it. Even though the highlight details are well saturated, and the exposure control is decent, you won’t be able to see the objects where the shadow lies.

Talking about the night time shots, well, the Redmi 7 is average at its best. What you will notice right away on its images are the grains and noise.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Night Details

If there is a light source, the photos have quite a bit of detail which is decent for the price. Check out these buildings, although there is a lack of details on the photos, the overall image quality is good, and even appealing.

On to the video quality, what I am really impressed with is that this budget device is capable of shooting full HD videos at 60 fps. And it is smooth too, although you will notice slight wobbles. Also, the colors are washed out, especially a person’s skin.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Selfie

Finally, let’s talk about the selfie. There is an 8-megapixel front-facing camera residing in the notch and it does an okay job and is better than what you get from the back cameras. Just look at the image, it’s decent for the price, right? But again, the skin tone is not very natural.

The portrait from the front camera is purely software, but it does an okay job. You also get AI beauty options and it’s quite good and not as aggressive as what you get from Vivo and OPPO.

Extras

 

One of the subtle design changes is the dual speaker grills on the bottom of the phone. Being a budget device, obviously, it has only one speaker on one of the grills that actually gets pretty loud but the quality is nothing to write home about.

The thing that hasn’t changed is the placement of the fingerprint scanner on the back. The scanner is quite fast which is really impressive for a budget phone. There’s also face unlock feature which is again fast, but since it’s done by the front camera, it’s not as reliable as the fingerprint sensor.

A good inclusion on the phone is the IR blaster which is helpful in controlling various electronic devices. But the thing Xiaomi has failed to add is the gyro sensor and that is quite strange as the previous Redmi phones had it. It comes in handy while tracking rotations and for VR.

Battery

The battery is also the strongest part of the Redmi 7. The Redmi series, apart from a couple of devices, has been a trademark when it comes to larger batteries, and this time it’s no different. There is a large 4,000 mAh battery inside, which does a commendable job.

Xiaomi Redmi 7 speaker

In my use, which constituted of watching an episode of Game of Thrones, playing games for a couple of hours, browsing through social media and different websites, the phone gave a screen on time of 6 hours. This is amazing, and for a “normal” user, you should be able to use it for a day and a half.

For charging, you get a micro-USB, no Type C and Xiaomi has included a 10W charger. The device does support Quick Charge 3.0, but for keeping the price low, Xiaomi has included the low-power charger in the box.

With an 18W fast charger, it fully charged the phone in 2 hours. So, you would want to buy a fast charger.

Conclusion

Xiaomi Redmi 7 Conclusion

The Redmi 7 is probably on the shadow of the Note 7 and the Note 7 Pro. It’s not as popular as its siblings, but on my test, with the efficient yet powerful professor and the HD display, the phone performed quite well. But it has its own shortcomings. The device’s camera setup shows promise but it’s not up there and some might not like the design. But you should take a look at the pricing. The device has a great battery life, a decent display, and ticks the boxes of the primary necessities of a smartphone. And for the price and the features it packs, it’s a device you should take a look at right away!

Pros Cons
– Great Performance – Ad-laden software
– Good battery life – Cameras aren’t up to the mark
– Value for Money – The plastic back will wear off

Realme 3 Pro and Realme C2 Launched – Head to head with the Redmi series?

With all the smartphone brands gearing up and launching their phones for the year, it’s now Realme’s turn. The year-old company has played its card – launched two phones, both of which, are a successor to last year’s devices. It’s the Realme 3 Pro and the Realme C2, successors to the Realme 2 Pro and the Realme C1. So, you can tell, the C2 is a budget option while the Realme 3 Pro is more mid-range.

Realme C2 Overview

The Realme C2, as expected comes with a plastic body and a design that’s all too generic. It doesn’t look like there have been many improvements in the design front. The Realme C2 features a 6.1″ IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution. That is to be expected of a budget phone, however.

realme c2

Camera wise, you get a dual camera setup of 13 MP and a 2 MP depth sensor. As for selfies, there is a 5 MP unit on the water-drop notch up front. Also, this phone runs on the Helio P22 as compared to last year’s Snapdragon 450. That does mean a slightly improved performance on paper, but let’s see how it fares, though. Storage wise, there are 2 variants. The base model comes with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage, whereas, another variant has a 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. But if the storage is not enough, they are expandable via microSD card slot.

As for the battery, strangely, this phone sees a downgrade. The Realme C2 has a 4000 mAh, compared to 4230 mAh on the C1. And being a budget phone, I don’t expect it to have any kind of Fast Charging. It runs on ColorsOS 6 based on Android Pie and is priced at $86 (INR.6000) for the base model whereas the 3 / 32 GB variant costs $115 (INR.8000).

Realme C2 Specifications:

  • Display: 6.1″ IPS LCD panel with HD+ resolution (720 x 1560 pixels), 19.5:9 aspect ratio
  • Rear Camera: Dual, 13 MP Primary with f/2.2 aperture and PDAF + 2 MP depth sensor
  • Front Camera: Single, 5 MP
  • Processor: 2 GHz Octa-core Helio P22
  • GPU: PowerVR GE8320
  • RAM: 2 GB / 3 GB
  • Storage: 16 GB / 32 GB, expandable up to 256 GB via dedicated microSD card
  • Battery: 4000 mAh
  • OS: Android 9.0 Pie, ColorsOS 6 on top

Realme 3 Pro Overview

This mid ranger packs no surprises as most of what it features were already on the rumors list. So, this one too has a plastic body just like its predecessor. However, the display has a Gorilla Glass 5 protection, which is an upgrade.

realme 3 pro

The display is 6.3″ Full HD+ IPS LCD panel. You still have the water-drop notch on it that houses the selfie camera. No surprises there! As for the cameras, you have a dual camera set up at the back. The setup comprises of a 16 MP primary camera along with a 5 MP depth sensor. But since it uses no pixel binning, maybe the image quality will be as good as that on the Redmi Note 7 Pro, if not better. The selfie camera, here, is a good 25 MP.

In addition, this phone runs on the Snapdragon 710, which is slightly superior to the Redmi Note 7 Pro‘s Snapdragon 675. With 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage on the higher-end variant, this might very well go head to head with the Redmi Note 7 Pro. As for the battery, there is a 4000 mAh unit along with a VOOC 3.0 Fast Charging, but still microUSB.

This phone is priced at INR.14000 ($200) for the 4 / 64 GB variant and INR.17000 ($244). Both the phones have launched in India only, for now.

Realme 3 Pro Specifications:

  • Display: 6.3″ IPS LCD panel with Full-HD+ resolution (1080 x 2340 pixels), 19.5:9 aspect ratio, Gorilla Glass 5
  • Rear Camera: Dual, 16 MP Primary with f/1.7 aperture and PDAF + 5 MP depth sensor
  • Front Camera: Single, 25 MP
  • Processor: Octa-core Snapdragon 710
  • GPU: PowerVR GE8320
  • RAM: 4 GB / 6 GB
  • Storage: 64 GB / 128 GB, expandable up to 256 GB via dedicated microSD card
  • Battery: 4000 mAh
  • OS: Android 9.0 Pie, ColorsOS 6 on top

These phones are, for now, only available in India. The global launch is not known for now. As for Nepal availability, you will have to wait. There are rumors regarding the change in distributors of the Realme brand in Nepal. And so, we might have to wait for some time. All we can say is that the Realme 3 Pro will make it to Nepal, but it is not certain as to when.

Samsung Galaxy S10e Review – Size matters not!

With smartphone companies focusing on getting large display experiences, I almost forgot what it was like to hold something that fitted snugly in my hands. Enter the Samsung Galaxy S10e! A phone that is just the right size, cuts just the right corners and does ALMOST everything right. Now, this is a semi-flagship phone, and it’s a nice concept to provide users a flagship experience for a not-so-flagship kind of money. And why should you choose this over the other larger variants of the Galaxy S10 series? Let’s talk about it.

Samsung Galaxy S10e Specifications:

  • Design: Glass body, aluminum frame (Gorilla Glass 5 front & back), IP68 Water & Dust Resistance
  • Display: 5.8″ Dynamic AMOLED with Full HD+ resolution (1080 x 2280 pixels), 19:9 aspect ratio, 438 PPI pixel density
  • Rear Camera: Dual, 12 MP Primary lens with variable aperture (f/1.5 – f/2.4) and dual pixel PDAF & OIS + 16 MP Ultrawide-angle lens with f/2.2 aperture
  • Front Camera: Single, 10 MP lens with f/1.9 aperture
  • Processor: Octa-core Exynos 9820 (8 nm)
  • GPU: Mali-G76 MP12
  • RAM: 6 GB
  • Storage: 128 GB internal, expandable up to 512 GB
  • OS: One UI based on Android Pie
  • Battery: 3100 mAh, 15-Watt Adaptive Fast Charging, Reverse Wireless Charging
  • Sensors: Fingerprint (side-mounted), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer
  • Colors: Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Green, Prism Blue
  • Price: $750 (international), Rs.73,9999 (offer price)

Design

I’ll start by talking about what I liked the most – its compact size, nifty design, and how perfectly it fits in my hand. Its small size is, surprisingly, one of its major attractive features. I don’t have anything against a big screen experience, but you need to hold it to believe it. It’s super manageable in the hand, yet doesn’t skimp on power!

Curved edges surround the phone, but it doesn’t have tapered sides of the more expensive Galaxy S10 models. Nevertheless, the flat screen works really well – if anything, I didn’t even feel its absence. With a Gorilla Glass 5 both front and back, the phone does look premium, but Samsung chose to go with a Gorilla Glass 5 instead of the 6 like on the larger S10 variants. I wonder how much money they saved with it…

Anyways, the power button on the right embeds a fingerprint scanner as well. It’s another cut-back, but no complaints. It’s faster than the in-display scanners, anyway. You still get the 3.5 mm headphone jack, and there are dual speakers on this thing – one at the bottom, and another one on the earpiece. And together, they make for some good stereo-like audio experience.

Overall, I think the best part about this phone is its form factor while still packing the power.

Display

However, having a smaller size also makes for a smaller display. The Samsung Galaxy S10e features a 5.8” Dynamic AMOLED punch-hole display. There are some bezels around the sides and a chin, but they’re not all that intrusive. If you’re coming from older Galaxy devices, then, it won’t even matter.

samsung galaxy s10e display

The display clocks at Full-HD+ resolution, not QHD like the bigger variants. But I feel like QHD is not even necessary. Yes, they do give you some wonderful experience, but all content is not QHD. Plus, it eats up your battery. I even set the display on the Galaxy S10 to Full HD+. So, for this small device such as this, a Full HD+ is more than enough. The Dynamic AMOLED does a great job with colors. Colors are vibrant, and the amount of details are great. Plus, having a smaller display makes for crispier pixel density! Samsung is on top of their game in displays, and it shows. Plus, it supports HDR 10+, meaning that you can watch selected contents with a wider dynamic range.

samsung galaxy s10e display punch-hole

The small punch-hole is also not very intrusive, and won’t affect your viewing experience all that much. With clever wallpapers, you can easily hide it. And most times, you won’t even notice it’s there!

Camera

As for the cameras, the Samsung Galaxy S10e packs a dual camera set up at the back – a 12 MP primary lens with variable apertures, and a 16 MP ultrawide-angle lens. These are the same lens as on the larger S10 variants, so, no compromises here either.

samsung galaxy s10e rear camera

And the photos look wonderful. In bright light, the camera performance is as expected: sharp, packing a lot of details, excellent dynamic range and noise-less. Colors are pretty accurate, too, and most of them feel true to life. There is a slightly warm tone on the images, that looks pleasing to the eyes, though.

With the Scene Optimizer on, images look a little more vibrant. Some colors look juicier, while others can look a bit too overboard. As it is with these AI image enhancements, you have to use it only when necessary.

The ultrawide-angle camera is a fun one – to say the least. You can capture panoramic scenes and get more in your frames, and this is the one to use when it comes to capturing sceneries or group photos. The image quality on this one is also as good as ultra-wide-angle lenses can get. Images from this one have good dynamic range and color reproduction, and to me, they didn’t look very different from the primary lens in terms of color accuracy. Also, the software deals with the fish-eye effect quite nicely.

Now, the main competitor of the S10e is the Huawei P30 for now – and the advantage the P30 has over this is a dedicated “Night mode” which this one doesn’t have…apart from the extra telephoto lens, of course. samsung galaxy s10e vs huawei p30

However, there is a sub-menu under Scene Optimizer which lets you take images even in extreme low-light conditions. The S10e might get a Night Mode in later updates, but until then, what it has is not as good as a dedicated Night mode on the P30. We’ll compare the P30 and S10e some as well soon, so stay tuned for that!

Samsung’s Live Focus is what makes for the portrait mode. And normal portrait images are as good as portraits go. The subject is detailed and edge detection works most times. There are also a few bokeh effects like Zoom, Spiral, and Monochrome. While I used the Zoom and Spiral effects very less, I liked the Monochrome a bit more. But its edge-detection needs some polishing. The good thing about its portraits is you can change the blur level and background effects after clicking the pictures as well.

The 10 MP selfie camera on the Samsung Galaxy S10e, mostly, does a good job too. samsung galaxy s10e front camera

Selfies are detailed and the skin tone looks almost natural. Facial features are well preserved, and the portrait selfies do a great job too, considering, there is no dedicated depth sensor. You also have a wide-angle option on the selfie camera which increases the field of view slightly. But without a dedicated sensor for it, I think this is just the regular camera with two different FOVs. Low light selfies are no use at all!

This phone is packing the same lens as the other S10, but I couldn’t get it to record 4K video on it as others claim. There is Full HD+ video with a full-fledged OIS at work, it does a great job of stabilizing! You also get the Super Steady mode, which uses the ultra-wide lens and captures a 1080p video, which is super smooth, but there’s no auto-focus in it.

So, in terms of cameras, Samsung delivers. But there are some aspects in which it needs work.

Performance

Moving underneath its skin, it packs the same Exynos 9820 chip as on the other variants. Even though the Samsung Galaxy S10e is small, it does not compromise on power. And coupled with 6 GB RAM, there’s nothing it can’t handle. I don’t even think I need to talk a lot about it…everything is solid!

Here are the benchmark scores:

  • Geekbench 4:
    • Single-Core: 4378
    • Multi-core: 9813
    • Compute: 10164
  • AnTuTu:
    • 325888
  • 3DMark Sling Shot Extreme
    • OpenGL ES 3.1: 4397
    • Vulka: 4270
  • PC Mark
    • Work Performance 2.0: 7858
  • AndroBench
    • Sequential Read: 787.02 MB/s
    • Sequential Write: 194.06 MB/s

Gaming on it is a breeze, too! I played PUBG before it was banned, sadly. It ran on the highest of settings available, at HDR and Ultra frame rates, and there were no lags or stutters of any kind. The game-play is so smooth, that it makes you want not to stop playing at all. Other games like Asphalt 9 are also super smooth.

But one thing that got me concerned is the heating issues. There were instances it heated up while charging and gaming. Maybe it is to be expected of a powerful phone of such size, but sometimes, it also heated up when it was just lying idly in my pocket! I wouldn’t be so concerned if not for the Galaxy Note 7 Battery Gate! If you’ve faced any such issues, let us know too.

Software and UI

samsung galaxy s10e software

You know what else is hot, though? It’s Samsung’s One UI. Based on Android Pie, this OS is a lot better than previous Samsung Experience UI. It is more user-friendly, too, and just easier to do stuff with. Some settings have changed headings, but you can easily find them with the search option.

It really makes one-handed usage easier, too. You can simply swipe up or down anywhere on the screen to pull up the app drawer. You also get the sidebar for the shortcut to some apps.  There’s also a lot of customizations available. Plus, the gestures are a lot easier to use… They’re just revampings of Samsung’s on-screen buttons, actually, but that makes it all the better

Battery

This part of the Samsung Galaxy S10e, however, is the deal breaker! The battery. It has a 3100 mAh battery, which, to be honest, is not enough. It is barely enough to last you through the day, and you will be looking for your charger by the end of the day.

Plus, you get no LED notification lights, so, you kind of have to keep the Always-On display on. And that chugs your battery even more. Now I get that the small size cannot accommodate a very large battery, but maybe just a teeny increment? I mean, this is basically a powerhouse in chains!

It does have fast charging, though. But with the 15-Watt Adaptive charging, even this small battery takes about 1 hour and 35 minutes to fill up…which is not very impressive is it? Anyways, if you don’t mind carrying your charger around, and are not too much of a heavy user, this might not bother you.

Conclusion

Okay, what to make of the Samsung Galaxy S10e? Besides the battery, everything on this phone seems stellar, or close! And all I can say about this phone is that size doesn’t matter! All that you want – the latest of hardware, top quality display, stellar cameras are packed in this small but premium and snug body. And if you can get all of that in such a comfortable size, do you really need to go big that won’t even fit in your pocket?

samsung galaxy s10 series

And that brings me to another question – with flagships getting bigger and more expensive, are these semi-flagship phones starting to make more sense? I mean, if you look at Huawei P30 Pro and P30, the latter packs much of the same stuff in a smaller and more affordable body as well. And it seems to me that these are the better value for money devices.

Moreover, this phone is really an answer to the iPhone XR, and while the XR may beat it in performance, the S10e leaves the XR in the water, in other aspects. Top of the line AMOLED displays and 2 cameras are enough to make a gap between those two devices. However, there are other phones like the Xiaomi Mi 9 with similar hardware, AMOLED display, and similar camera for a much lesser price. And probably the OnePlus 7 will surely be a better value for money.

But would I recommend this? For a difference of $150 in price with the S10, it has its fair share of compromises. One less camera, small battery and a slightly lesser build. But while I think the S10 is a great phone, you won’t go wrong with this $750 semi-flagship phone either. Especially, when you get great offers on it in Nepal!

Pros:

  • Nice compact design
  • Good build quality
  • Stellar Performance
  • Highly optimized UI

Cons:

  • Poor battery life
  • Price could have been better

Nepal’s space dream is finally true but there is still a lot to be done

On Thursday morning, at 2:31 AM NST, as a lot of Nepali people were in their deep sleep, an Antares rocket carrying a lot of cargo launched up into space. This spacecraft holds a special Nepali dream as it is carrying Nepal’s first ever satellite – NepaliSat-1.

The nano-satellite went up into space from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, USA. It will reach the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday.

A nano-satellite is a satellite that weighs somewhere between 1 kg to 10 kg. NepaliSat-1 has a weight of 1.3 kg and is cube-shaped. Scientists hold plans to release the satellite into the lower orbit of ISS in the second week of June.

NepaliSat-1 has been developed by two Nepali scientists, Hariram Shrestha, and Aabhas Maskey, under the investment of Nepali Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), and the help of other scientists. This tech was developed under the BIRDS project of Japanese Kyushu Institute of Technology. The BIRDS project is its collaboration with the United Nations. It basically holds the objective of helping various countries develop and launch their first satellite.

In his tweet, Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli was quick to praise the scientists and institutions that were involved in the feat.

The cargo spacecraft is also carrying satellites made by Japanese and Sri Lankan scientists along with supplies and gears for the crew residing in the ISS.

NepaliSat-1 has been built mainly for two major sectors among others – Remote Sensing, and Communication. With the help of a multispectral camera, the remote sensing system will capture photos in RGB color from 400 km away. Likewise, for communication, it will gather data related to Nepal’s temperature, water level, soil, humidity, and SOS. The collected data will be sent to NAST’s Ground Station which is currently under construction.

Talking to the BBC Nepali Service, Aabhas Maskey said, “This has been possible due to the investment from the Nepal Government. We still face the challenge of running a satellite for a longer period of time. This is our first step.

He also added that there is still a lot of work to be done to make huge strides in the satellite technology for Nepal.

Since it’s a nano-satellite, NepaliSat-1 won’t remain in the space for long. Maskey has predicted it to stay in space for 3 months to a year.

For Nepal to actually run a satellite that actually stays in the space for a long period of time, investment from all sectors is necessary. The government should also work to produce a workforce meant for the purpose. There also is a necessity of building the essential science an technology to run and make satellites from Nepal itself.

Vivo V15 review: Overshadowed by the better sibling

The pop-up selfie camera is quite on trend. The technology debuted last year on the flagship Vivo Nex. With pop-up selfie camera on the board, the phone lacks any sort of bezels, notches or hole punch cutouts. And such type of An immersive display definitely looks attractive. However, the phone didn’t land in Nepal. So we were unable to feel the tech and test the device. But recently, Vivo launched the mid-range phone with an elevating selfie camera. When it launched it was one of the very first phones in Nepal with such type of feature. The elevating selfie camera definitely looks fancy. But other than that, what does the phone packs inside. And how does it fares in real-life use? Let’s find out in this Vivo V15 review.

Vivo V15 Specifications:

  • Display: 6.53 inches IPS LCD screen with FHD+ resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio
  • Platform: Android 9.0 Pie with Funtouch 9

Design

As usual, let’s start with the design. The design is more or less like the Vivo V15 Pro, except for a fingerprint sensor at the rear side. You get a vertical camera setup tucked neatly inside a black surface that creates a noticeable bump while placed on a plane surface.

Vivo V15 price in nepal

By looks, this gradient Blue color seems good to the eyes but the phone does feel very heavy on the hands. However, the weight seems evenly distributed in all parts, so the phone does not feel hollow.

The device comes pre-attached with a screen protector, it is not noticeable though. This is a very nice touch because there are many people out there, who do not like putting a tempered glass on the phones’ screens.

vivo v15 buttons

However, the buttons are not tactile enough to my liking. And talking about buttons, you also get a dedicated button for Google assistant that comes handy only when you get used to it. But, you don’t have any option to remap to other apps.

And just above it, you have the SIM slots alongside a dedicated Micro SD card slot.

The material on this one looks like Glass, but this is plastic, unfortunately. The problem with glass looking plastic backs is they tend to start pigmenting even when you use it with covers. On the brighter side, this is something Vivo can take as feedback and get it right the next time.

Display

Upfront, you have a 6.53-inches IPS LCD display that looks quite good. Of course, when you place it beside the Super AMOLED display of the Vivo V15 pro, you can spot the difference right away. But for the display this one is, we can’t call it bad. Outdoor too it fares quite well and you get quite the brightness. There are minimum bezels around the screen except for the chin.

vivo v15 display

But then again, the company has put in a lot of efforts in making this screen look like it’s bezel-less however, if the chin would have been a little smaller, the display would look even better.

And if you ask me about the quality of the display, as I said earlier, I would say it’s nothing to complain about. You get a vibrant one here and it’s large, so watching movies or playing games has been quite an experience. And while playing PUBG you get enough space for you to rest your fingers without obstructing the game. Viewing angles are great and you will love the display overall.

Camera

It’s a Vivo smartphone we are talking about, so explaining about the cameras in detail is a must. The phone has a 12 MP primary camera, an 8 MP secondary Ultra-wide-angle lens followed by a 5 MP depth sensor. And as the specs go, the images follow the similar performance. They look good and have good color reproduction if not the most accurate.

But one thing I have noticed having used the ‘Pro version’ too is that because it uses pixel binning to give 12MP shots, the pictures are much much better on the higher end variant.

Back to talking about the V15’s cameras, the pictures are bright and vibrant, no doubts on that, but when you zoom in, the details are just average. But in the perfect light, you can get some dope pictures.

The ultra-wide-angle lens is something you can brag about in this smartphone. Sometimes the wide-angle shots have better colors than the normal ones, which was surprising but its a welcome feature. And I also compared some of those wide-angle shots with the Galaxy A50 and found the V15’s camera to have better details and colors. So, the secondary lens does justice to the cameras.

The third Depth sensor is average in performance though! It misses out on edge detection part most of the times and although the different portrait lighting effects seem fun, they have been inconsistent on my use.

A perfect example of this is the Monochrome effect which has only worked like 2 times on my use, other times it has failed to deliver! And other than the rainbow effect, there is no particular difference between other options, except for some changes in the skin tone.

Having said that you have options to adjust the background blur after taking pictures like the Vivo V11 and even the V9, so nothing head-turning here as well.

The pictures in artificial lighting turn out good. They look nice to the eyes and have good details. There is also a dedicated night mode here that uses a long exposure, which works to preserve some details but nothing to go on about. Normal nighttime pictures have grains to them and look no good.

Selfies appear nice from the 32MP pop-up camera. It is very fancy taking selfies in public because people look at the phone and make a perplexed expression looking at the alleviating camera which has been fun for me.

The selfies are bright and colorful and on par with what we expect from a Vivo smartphone. I would not say that the skin tone is the most natural, but they do not look bad if you ask me.

There’s the infamous beauty mode too which is aggressive only if set to the highest numbers. Other times, if you get almost natural looking selfies. And as mentioned in the impressions video, there are tons of photoshop features in this one, which may come to the liking for many people.

There are portrait selfie features too, just like the main camera and the pictures look beautified to some extent, not sure why and how but I am pretty sure I turned off the beauty mode while taking those selfies.

I have also compared the selfies of the A50 and V15 and while the details are preserved well in the V15, the A50 has a much natural looking color.

Performance

Okay, let’s go to the performance side of things. This phone uses the Helio P70 and 6GB RAM to power itself and does a pretty good job. It is definitely an upgrade over last year. The same chipset is also there on the OPPO F11 Pro and it’s going to be an interesting battle as to which phone has optimized it better.

On to real life performance, with this one you can play PUBG on medium settings in HD in high frame rate settings pretty smoothly. There are minor stutters and slight drops in frame rated that will go unnoticed. Plus, the display is large and the control buttons don’t obstruct your gaming experience.

Normal to even heavy tasks run well but messenger on top of heavy games makes the phone panic sometimes. Other than that, multitasking has been smooth, app opening is fast and switching in between apps is fairly smooth.

Vivo V15 Benchmarks

  • AnTuTu v7: 143,452
    • CPU: 61967, GPU: 33668, UX: 37715, Memory: 10102
  • AndroBench:
    • Sequential Read: 307.35 MB/s, Sequential Write: 179.11 MB/s
  • Geekbench 4
    • Single-core: 1542, Multi-core: 5751, RenderScript Score: 5253
  • PC Mark
    • Work 2.0: 8226
  • 3D Mark
    • Slighshot Extreme Vulkan: 1253

Software

On to the software, this one comes with Android 9 Pie which is pretty standard in 2019. I have received altogether three updates during my time with the phone which I appreciate. But what I don’t appreciate is the Funtouch OS that’s there on this phone.

The major problems I have with it are: 1. The upward swiping taskbar. 2. Those cartoonish and large weird looking icons.

Users have no control over the taskbar settings. However, what you can do is change the theme and make the icons look a bit better. And there is a search button inside the settings menu now which has made using this phone easier in comparison to its predecessors.

But one thing is, as long as I have used the phone, I still get confused on whether to swipe down or up for the taskbar and I really hope Vivo brings an update to change that or get it right the next time.

Battery

The battery on the V15 is a bigger 4,000 mAh and this is one of the things that sets it apart from the pro model. Although the battery has to power an IPS display which consumes more power, I am very well satisfied with the back up it gave me.

I am a pretty heavy user with most of my day spent on YouTube and Facebook and Gaming. And even so, the device held up very well for an entire day. On normal usage, the days that don’t involve much gaming, the battery even lasted for more than a day.

And the phone is enabled with an 18-Watt fast charging that does not take even 2 hours to get your phone fully charged which is a bonus if you ask me.

But, the Micro USB port is a minus to the device. Last year, we had the same story and even now, in 2019, there is the same thing all over again. I think there are some things that companies need to understand themselves, things about being updated to trends, things about evolving!

Security & Audio

Now let’s talk about the fingerprint sensor. It is fast and accurate gets it correct 9 out of 10 times.

Strangely, There is no Facial Unlock feature though but it’s okay considering the selfie camera pops out each time you look at the Vivo V15 pro and that was annoying. Also, this phone does not miss out on the headphone jack so this one’s a plus. The single firing speaker at the bottom does an average job.

Conclusion

So, my conclusion about the phone is, this one looks good overall. Except for the UI, I have no complaints what so ever. Having said that a price of Rs. 45,190 in Nepal, it is a bit too much.

vivo v15 popup selfie

I mean, you can get the 128GB version of the Huawei P30 Lite or the Galaxy A50 for less price. And even if you are into Pop-up camera and love VIVO, you should get the Pro version that comes with a Super AMOLED display, superior Snapdragon 675 processor, and better cameras.

Honestly, with the Vivo V15, you are paying the extra price for the pop-up camera! And until and unless, you don’t absolutely want that, I think the device is asking for a little premium price than it should.
