Samsung Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50 launched in Nepal

Since the day, Samsung announced to bring Galaxy A-series and M-series devices, every new handset makes a headline. Be it just a leak or the launch. And in that already popular list of Galaxy A-series device falls the recently launched Galaxy A30 and Galaxy A50. Both of these handsets were unveiled at MWC 2019. In that grand event, many tech reviewers had praised Samsung for their change in strategy and for bringing such notable devices. Although the price of the device was kept under the veil at that time, Samsung recently launched the device in India and announced the price. And not so long after the announcement, Samsung Nepal has brought these new midrangers in Nepal.

Samsung Galaxy A30 Overview:

Heading to the Samsung Galaxy A30 features, the most notable thing about the device is a tall 6.4-inch display with a tiny notch on the top. But unlike the Galaxy M10 and Galaxy M20 devices, the display here is called an “Infinity-U display”. Furthermore, the display here is Super AMOLED one, so the users can find deeper blacks and brighter whites in the contents when compared with the typical IPS panels.

On the performance side, the phone has got the Octa-core Exynos 7904 chipset with 3GB or 4GB of RAM alongside. And talking about the storage, the phone comes in 32GB and 64GB format with a dedicated SD card slot for memory expansion. Making use of this slot, users can expand their storage up to 512GB.

As far as the camera is concerned, the boasts a dual camera setup at the back, which is a combination of 16MP and 5MP sensors. The secondary camera on the back is an ultra-wide-angle shooter. Since most of the smartphones at a similar price comes with a depth sensor, the addition of an ultra-wide-angle lens on this device has added an extra perspective while taking the shots. As far as the front camera goes, a 16MP selfie snapper does the job.

Software-wise, the phone boots on Android Pie out of the box. The phone also enjoys Samsung’s custom skin OneUI on the top. The phone also comes with a sizable 4000mAh battery with 15-Watt fast charging support.

Samsung Galaxy A50 Overview:

Just like the Galaxy A30, A50 also comes with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a U-shaped notch on the top. The display here is enriched with Full-HD+ resolution packing 403 pixels in every inch. So needless to say that the contents on this handset will look sufficiently sharp with great color depth. Under that display rests a fingerprint sensor. And for the price it asks for, the inclusion of under-display fingerprint sensor is notably praiseworthy.

In terms of camera, the Samsung Galaxy A50 flaunts a triple camera setup at the back. The primary 25MP shooter is backed by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 5MP depth sensor. So not just the portrait shots, users can also get a stretched field of view from this device. On the front lies a 25MP shooter, which comes with an f/2.0 lens.

Even on the performance side, the A50 has got quite a boost when compared with the A30. It flaunts a rather capable Exynos 9610 chipset, whose performance is comparable with Snapdragon 660. Alongside the processor comes either 4GB or 6GB of RAM. And talking about the onboard memory, users have the option to choose from 64GB and 128GB variants. Plus, there is a dedicated SD card slot to expand the storage up to 512GB in case of insufficiency.

Moving on to the software, the phone has embraced the latest Android Pie (v9.0) out of the box. And the software on this device is flavored by Samsung’s OneUI on the top. As far as the battery on the device is concerned, a 4000mAh non-removable battery powers the device. The battery on this device supports 15-watt fast charging. The phone also comes aboard with a USB Type-C port for charging.

After Huawei Nova 4 is fully out and about in the smartphone market, Huawei is set to launch the Nova 4e in China on March 14. But of course, if the phone specs aren’t leaked before their launch, are they even worth looking at? And so, the Nova 4e specs are leaked, but it doesn’t provide a complete story. Nevertheless, we have a general idea of the device. Also, this same device is going to be the Huawei P30 Lite in the European market.

Huawei Nova 4e Specs Leaks

The images of the Nova 4e leaked on TENAA. But its listing hasn’t been updated fully in the website. Still, the site says it will be updated with full specs before the launch soon enough. However, we do have certain key specs of the device.

The phone will probably have a glossy plastic body, as per the trend with mid-rangers today, and following the Nova 4. While that remains to be seen, it is certain that the screen will be a 6.15″ TFT LCD panel with Full HD+ resolution. The phone will be powered by Huawei’s own Kirin 710 processor and will be available in multiple RAM variants. There is a 4 GB / 128 GB option as well as a 6 GB / 128 GB variant. You will also be able to choose between three color options for the phone.

As for the camera, there are no official confirmations about the lenses. It’s only official that the selfie camera will be a 32 MP one. Still, there are rumors that out of the triple-rear camera setup will comprise of a 20 MP + 16 MP + 2 MP lens. By the norm, they should be a normal camera, an ultra-wide angle, and a depth sensor.

In addition, the phone will also have an 18-W fast charging.

The Nova 4e will launch officially on March 14 in China. As for the European launch, the P30 Lite might come along with the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro in Europe on March 26th. There has been no word on the pricing, though.

Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 Launched in Nepal: Better than Galaxy M20?

Huawei’s latest lower mid-range device, the Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 is now available in Nepal. The Y7 Pro 2019 is the successor to the Y7 Pro 2018, which was kind of a benchmark for budget phones back in 2018. With a budget-friendly price tag, the phone will go head to head against the Samsung Galaxy M20 (Rs. 17,190) and Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (Rs. 19,999).

Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 Overview

Since the phone belongs in the lower mid-range section, there are not many new things to expect in here. You get a 6.26″ IPS HD+ display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Plus, the display is protected by Gorilla Glass, but it has not been specified as to which.

As per the norm at present, you get a dual-camera at the back. The dual-camera setup comprises of a 13 MP primary camera and a 2 MP depth sensor. The front has a 16 MP camera for selfies. But the back houses nothing else – you don’t get a fingerprint sensor at all. There’s only Face Unlock, which uses the front camera, so it’s not that secure.

Under the hood, the phone is powered by a Snapdragon 450 processor, which is typically found in budget phones. In addition, it packs 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. You can expand the memory up to 512 GB via microSD card. Furthermore, it has 4000 mAh of battery, but it still uses a micro USB port. Again, another poor choice for a smartphone that has “2019” in the name itself!

The international price for the phone is around $170, and so, the Nepali price of Rs. 18,490 is good enough.

Specifications:

Display: 6.26″ IPS LCD HD+ display with (1520 x 720 pixel resolution) and 19.5:9 aspect ratio
Rear Camera: Dual, 13 MP primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture and 2 MP depth sensor
Front Camera: 16 MP camera
Chipset: Snapdragon 450
CPU: Octa-core 1.8 GHz
GPU: Adreno 506
RAM: 3 GB
Storage: 32/64 GB (expandable via microSD up to 512 GB)
Battery: 4000 mAh
Connectivity: Dual SIM, 2.4GHz WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, micro USB 2.0

Vivo started the trend of the pop-up camera with the Vivo X21 UD and Vivo NEX. We didn’t get to see any of the devices in Nepal. What we got was the Vivo V15 Pro which landed here with a 32MP motorized pop-up camera. Let’s check out the specs, price, and availability of Vivo V15 Pro in Nepal.

Vivo V15 Pro Overview:

Starting off with the display, it’s a 6.39-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel with a screen-to-body ratio of over 90%. It gets no notch, nor a punch hole, it’s all display. Without any notch or punch-hole, the display looks a lot cleaner. Mostly thanks to the in-display fingerprint scanner and that pop-up selfie camera at the top. Vivo claims that the under-display fingerprint sensor on the Vivo V15 Pro can unlock the device just in 0.37 seconds

As for the cameras, we will test out its performance in our full review, but on paper, it does look impressive. It’s a triple camera setup starting off with the primary 48 MP f/1.8 lens, aided by an 8 MP (13mm) ultrawide and a 5 MP depth sensor.

At the front, the pop-up camera houses a 32MP sensor, with its usual software aided AI enhancements. And while we are on the subject of software, the phone runs on Android 9.0 Pie with FunTouch 9 on top.

Check out our review of Vivo V15 Pro.

Vivo V15 Pro Price in Nepal & Availability

There are two variants of Vivo V15 Pro but only the 6/128GB variant is available in Nepal. The price of the Vivo V15 Pro in Nepal was initially NPR 52,490 at the time of launch but Vivo has then slashed the price couple of times and the new price of Vivo V15 Pro in Nepal is NPR 37,350.

Model Name	Price in Nepal
Vivo V15 Pro (6/128GB)	NRP 37,350

Vivo V15 Pro may have received a price cut but we still think that it’s too much to pay for Snapdragon 675 especially when Redmi K20 comes with Snapdragon 855.

The drama intensifies! Huawei is set to sue the US Government

The drama intensifies! Huawei is set to sue the US Government

To be honest, I feel that the US government has been a bit biased when it comes to Huawei. What the company did or didn’t isn’t up to me to decide, so I will hold my judgments. But first, the context. Most of you might know Huawei as a smartphone maker. But they are also the world’s biggest telecommunication equipment manufacturer. And you probably know that the US government has banned its federal agencies from using Huawei equipment.

The US government has listest Huawei as a security threat making claims that the company has close ties with the Chinese Government. On top of that, there are claims that Huwaei has also stolen technologies from others. Following these accusations, Huawei’s Deputy Chairman Guo Ping had a few words to share. Ping accused the US Congress of acting as the “judge, jury and executioner” in relation to the ban.

In the press conference today (Thursday), Ping states,

“This ban not only is unlawful, but also restricts Huawei from engaging in fair competition, ultimately harming US consumers.”

Now, the company has announced they will be suing the US govt claiming the legislation is unconstitutional. The lawsuit focuses on a provision known as the National Defence Authorization Act. Section 899. The law prohibits executive govt agencies from using or owning telecommunication hardware manufactured by Huawei or ZTE. To this, the Huawei’s lawyers oppose that the provision in the NDAA is against the US constitution.

The lawsuit was filed in Texas, their defense being, an individual or group singled out for punishment without trial, which violates the US constitution. Guo added, “The US Congress has repeatedly failed to produce any evidence to support its restrictions on Huawei products.” Ping also said, “We are compelled to take this legal action as a proper and last resort.”

Meizu Note 9 Launched – Another mid-ranger with a large 48 MP camera!

Chinese companies tend to jump on any smartphone trend pretty quick. And the Meizu Note 9 looks like another smartphone which did just that. A trendy water-drop notch on the display mounted on a body with dual-tone gradient color option…and there’s also a 48 MP camera at the back! Sound familiar? Well, how about you check out the Redmi Note 7 Pro?

Meizu Note 9 Overview

The Meizu Note 9 is a mid-range phone from the Chinese company. That’s because you get a Snapdragon 675 inside it, which stands on the mid-range side. Plus, you get two RAM options, 4 GB and a 6 GB. And that too is pretty standard these days. In terms of storage, you get a 64 GB and a 128 GB variant as well. But since you don’t get a microSD card slot, you might want to opt for the higher storage variant.

In terms of aesthetics, the Meizu Note 9 is has a glass back with a metal frame for the chassis. On it, there is a 6.2″ IPS LCD display with Full HD+ resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. This phone features dual cameras at the back – a 48 MP primary sensor and a 5 MP depth sensor. At the front, you get a 20 MP selfie camera.

And about the 48 MP camera. It’s not a 48 MP camera…yes, you read that right. The hardware is 48 MP, a Samsung GM1 sensor – the same used on the Redmi Note 7 Pro. But since the Snapdragon 675 can’t process pictures with such high resolutions, there’s pixel binning involved. But nevertheless, the camera should produce some good pictures based on the hardware.

As for the battery, it packs a large 4000 mAh battery. In addition, you get an 18-Watt Fast Charger with a USB port. So, with all these, it doesn’t look any different from what we’re seeing these days.

Pricing and Availability

The phone comes in three variants – 4 GB + 64 GB, 4 GB + 128 GB and a 6 GB + 64 GB. They are priced at CNY 1398 ($208), CNY 1598 ($238) and CNY 1598 ($238) respectively. The phones will be available from March 11.

A common trend in the smartphone world, whenever a new model arrives, it’s predecessor usually gets a price drop.

OPPO F9

The new price of the OPPO F9 is Rs 37,990, down from Rs 41,590. Although, scouring through the streets of New Road might see yourself bring the prices down even more. Either way, a welcome discount none-the-less, the device already makes a good case for itself. If you want one, go for it. Prices for the 6GB RAM variant remains unchanged.

Oppo F9 Specs Overview:

Both are basically identical products, apart from a few minor differences like a superior selfie camera on the A3s.

But the Realme C1 actually gets Gorilla Glass 3 protection, a feature the A3s misses out on for some reason. If you ask us, go for the C1, and save yourself the extra cost. As for the 3/32GB variant, it’s price remains unchanged. Which means you will need to pay almost 7.5k extra for 1GB of RAM and 16GB of extra storage. How does that even make sense?

DisplayMate announces the Samsung Galaxy S10’s display as “Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect”

Was there even a contest? The Galaxy S10, Samsung’s newest flagship yet again features one of the best display ever, on a smartphone. That is according to DisplayMate, and we do not disagree with them. Going as far as to say that the phone’s display is “Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect”.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Display Specifications:

Technology: Dynamic AMOLED
Diagonal: 6.1 inches; 15.5 cm; 93.2 cm²
Screen-to-body ratio: 88.3
Resolution: 1440 x 3040 pixels
Aspect Ratio: 19:9
Pixel Density: 550PPI
Protection: Corning Gorilla Glass 6
Features: HDR10+; Always-on-display

Starting off with the viewing test, which was deemed excellent by the website. The Vivid mode was, however, a bit on the non-accurate side. But the other two modes were calibrated to produce accurate DCI-P3 and sRGB contents. It also pushed out a record high brightness of 1,215 nits, a whole 17% brighter than on the Galaxy S9.

Not only that, but the new phone also upped the viewing angle performance and improved blue light spectrum. The new iteration also gets high dynamic range HDR+ performance improvements as well. Samsung even managed to improve the viewing angles as compared to its predecessor.

All this while at the same time boosting power efficiency. The Galaxy S10’s display was rated A+, a new highest for any smartphone tested till now by DisplayMate. We did get to test out the S10 for a while, and can clearly vouch for that. The Samsung Galaxy S10 certainly has one of the best displays on a smartphone.

Apart from the actual quality, the display itself holds a few other interesting features. The first, a punch hole at the top right that houses a selfie camera. The second is an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. And finally, the curved sides, which has been a trademark for Samsung flagships for over four years now.

Oral-B Genius X: An AI-Powered Smart Toothbrush that learns brushing habits & coaches to clean your mouth

How wide is the scope of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we don’t know. But we definitely know that AI has encroached on quite a lot of sectors. And with the manufactures striding to integrate AI on all sorts of goods, the Artificial Intelligence has been nothing much that a dull buzzword lately. Quite similar to others’ story, Oral-B, a toothbrush company, unveiled a “smart” toothbrush, which is said to be enriched with AI-capabilities. And this Oral-B Genius X smart toothbrush is said to learn the brushing habits of its users and suggests necessary to follow to improve them.

The toothbrush connects to a smartphone app via Bluetooth. And everything inside the mouth can be supervised through the app. For that, the brush comes packed with a number of sensors. And paired with the Artificial Intelligence, the brush identifies the place you are currently brushing and the teeth left to brush. That’s not all, the Genius X can also provide precise data as to which teeth are being neglected and when the user is pushing down too hard.

The Genius X smart toothbrush is trained with thousands of brushing pattern and on the use, it identifies the brushing behavior of the user. After understanding the brushing pattern, it then figures out how the brushing habit differs from the best practice. The smart toothbrush then will then start to coach on how the user can improve their brushing habits and how they can achieve absolute cleanliness.

People these days are often busy with their chores and are often found brushing their teeth hurriedly. And often times, such habits result in improper cleaning of the teeth. But Genius X has a solution for that as well. The device makes sure that its users brush every tooth thoroughly and without any sorts of hassles. The toothbrush also checks if the user has brushed their teeth for the right amount of time. The brush does all these things irrespective of an individual’s brushing habits.

The prototypes of the Genius X were showcased at MWC 2019 in Barcelona. And the price of the device was kept a secret during that time.
