Government says illegally obtained phones will not work in the country soon

The government, in its bid to minimize the illegal import of smartphones, is coming up with a strategy to make them non-functional. Illegal import of smartphones is a problem that is rampant at present in the country. Even the mobile distributors of the country are worried due to this problem. But now, the government is implementing a new strategy to minimize and hopefully eradicate the practice.

The plan is yet to be put into place. But it is clear that we’ll see ADMS being implemented for mobile phones for this. ADMS (Advanced Distribution Management System) will allow the government or authorized bodies to actively monitor the imported phones inside the country. And, as they register in the networks, they can find out if the phones are obtained illegally or not.

The government has allocated a budget of Rs. 1 crore 30 lakhs for this project. And it has called bids from those interested to regulate the ADMS process in Nepal. Currently, there are six companies that have submitted their biddings. And out of them, the one which stands out after evaluation and analysis of their proposal will be selected by the government. These companies will be evaluated on 80% technical feasibility and 20% economic feasibility of their proposals.

Right now, the companies currently in bidding are Mobilian Trade International Pvt. Ltd. (Nepal), Infra-Data N.V. (Belgium), Green I.T. Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (Nepal), New-mera (M) ADN BHD (Malaysia), OSI Consulting Pvt. Ltd. (India) and Namaste Global Comm Pvt. Ltd. (Singapore). The government had requested for proposals for the design, development, testing, implementation, and management from various companies some 11 months back. They received 13 proposals, out of which, six of them were short-listed.

NTA (Nepal Telecommunications Authority) claims that the evaluation is concluding. And that, a firm will soon be selected. After that, there will be various agreements and contracts within a month. After which, the firm will be given 6 months to put everything in place. So, the system will be functional by the coming Bhadra, 2076.

After the implementation of ADMS, illegally imported or smuggled devices will cease working in the country. But those devices that are already here before the process will continue working. The rule will apply to the upcoming illegal phones. So, no doubt, that this will help minimize the illegal importing of phones in the country.

What do you think of this new strategy? Will it work? Or do you think the government will not be able to pull it off?

GDC 2019: Intel’s 9th Gen Core H suffix processors confirmed

It’s that time of year again when gamers start their lookout for the next generation mobile gaming processors. More specifically, it’s time for the next gen H-series processors to take over the mobile gaming market. Everyone has high expectations this year, the last gen 8750H was a huge step up from its predecessor, the 7700HQ. Even the i5-8300H turned out to be a better performer than the i7-7700HQ. So, for this year, at the GDC 2019, Intel just confirmed the existence of it’s 9th Gen H processors.

Intel confirms the mobile CPUs are in their schedule, all set to launch this summer. It remains to be seen if Intel follows their own previous strategy; increase the core count and GHz while leaving the TPD. A pretty successful turnout for Intel and its mobile chip making business. As vague was their launch date, so was the details about those chips. There are a few details available on them, one of which was their first OEM partner, Lenovo. They will be the first to come out with the rumored Core i7-9750H.

The Blue company is currently promising a performance bump of 10 to 11 percent. More specifically, gaming performance. As for the Premiere Pro, you can expect a whopping 34% faster video editing. If you have a 3-year-old PC, you will receive a boost of up to 97% in the same platform. Finally, the new CPUs will also feature Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (GIG+), Intel Optane Memory H10 and ThunderBolt 3. As for more details, we will just have to wait, atleast until the CES 2019 for the full story.

Facebook Messenger adds Quoted Replies feature

While Facebook Messenger is one of the most popular apps, it’s not the perfect messaging app by any means. Users still want a lot of features on it. While nobody asked for the “Stories” feature on it, similar to Instagram, it is there. And it did get popular after a while. Slowly, users could react to messages too, and that was a welcome feature. However, there was something missing still.

Maybe this sounds familiar. Ever been chatting with someone, and they send you a ton of messages? Like one after the other, and in different contexts? Sometimes, it’s pretty overwhelming, and you’re not sure which to reply to. Also, even if you reply to all of them, it can get pretty confusing for the other party as well.

In addition, a group chat faces this issue even more. I mean, with a number of people, its easy to get out of context for someone else. And replies tend to be meant for someone else, can be misunderstood by others. You get it…

And so, the latest messenger update adds the “Quoted Replies” feature. This enables you to reply to the exact message you want to reply to. And the parties concerned will also know what exactly were you replying to.

Messenger Quoted Reply

1 of 3

To do so, you can simply long-press on the message you want to reply to, and it gives you a new reply option beside the reactions. Tap it, type in your reply and the message you replied to will appear over your reply. Neat, eh?

While this feature was already there in WhatsApp, it was missing from Messenger. But hey, better late than never, right? So, this is now available on the latest messenger update. It is still in its rolling stages, so, be patient even if you haven’t got it yet. It’ll come around.

Samsung Galaxy A40 launched with 25 MP selfie camera!

Following launch of the Galaxy A30, another A- series smartphone has been spotted in Europe, the Samsung Galaxy A40. Just a few days back, we saw the phone’s render’s surfacing on the internet and now it’s here. The phone bridges between Galaxy A30 and A50.

The A40 is a slight upgrade from the A30 in terms of the chipset with the Exynos 7885 on the upcoming device. The display seems to have shrunk down to 5.9 inches from the 6.4 inches on the A30. Similarly, both the devices come with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio display.

Likewise, the Galaxy A40 comes with dual rear cameras of 16+5 MP, where the second lens is an ultra-wide angle sensor. The selfie game seems to have been taken a rise with a 25 MP camera. Other than that, the device comes with 4+64 GB memory configuration where you also get an option to expand the memory up to 512 GB using a dedicated SIM slot.

But, unlike the A50, you don’t get an on-screen fingerprint sensor, rather it resides on the back just like the Galaxy A30. Colors options for the phone include Black, Blue, White, and Coral.

Google announces its Gaming Platform ‘Stadia’: A threat to the gaming consoles?

Who doesn’t love playing the latest and graphics-intensive games? But sadly, playing such games requires a power PC or a good gaming console. Wouldn’t it be great if playing high-end games were as smooth as watching video contents on YouTube? Well, Google finally seems to hear the prayers of all the gamers. It launched a new gaming platform called “Stadia” (plural of Stadium). Google promises that, with this gaming platform, playing games would be as easy as streaming videos online. Furthermore, no powerful hardware would be required.

The project sounds ambitious but it looked ravishing when Google showcased the platform in GDC (Google Developer Conference). In the conference, a volunteer showed Assassin’s Creed Odyssey playing it on multiple devices. And the surprising thing about that is the game ran on a low-end gaming PC, Google Pixel 3 smartphone, a tablet, and television without a fuss. And what was even more exciting was the game streamed at 4K resolution and 60fps without a sign of stutter.

Stadia: A gaming platform

Google says the primary motive of the platform is to free the gamers from the hardware limitations of the gaming devices. And while playing the games in the platform, a user does not necessarily require powerful gaming hardware. That’s because the game does not run the device being used by a gamer, it will run on Google’s global network of data centers instead. Since Google’s data centers have a lot of computing power at its disposal, even the heaviest of the games will also run very smoothly. This also gives the developers an opportunity to build graphics-intensive games since there will be no computational limitations.

“When Stadia launches later this year, we expect to be able to deliver 4K 60 fps at approximately the same bandwidth requirements.”

Although Google said any controller at the users’ disposal can be used to control the games, Google also announced a gaming controller on its own. The Stadia Controller comes with an in-built microphone, a dedicated Screenshot button, and a Google Assistant button. It also has two joysticks, four action buttons, a full-size directional pad, and two shoulder buttons on either side.

Google announced to deliver gaming at 4K resolution and 60fps and to further go with 8K resolution in the future. That looks appealing but Google also described that the possible resolution and frame rate output to differ according to the internet connection of the user. Also, there is internet latency to consider. So although the concept looks tantalizing, we are not yet sure how the platform will be like when it comes to life. But if Google delivered as promised, the platform could be intimidating for the gaming consoles like PlayStations and XBoxes. It might affect the sales of powerful graphics cards as well.

Apple Announces AirPods 2: Wireless Charging case, bigger battery, and Hands-free ‘Hey Siri’ support

It must be a busy schedule for Apple this week. The iPhone maker firstly announced the new iPad Mini and iPad Air. And there was the launch of the new iMacs the other day. Continuing the streak, Apple then launched its beloved wireless earbuds, the AirPods. The newly announced Apple AirPods 2 features a new chipset, comes with a wireless charging case, a bigger battery, and Hands-free ‘Hey Siri’ support.

Firstly, let’s start the things with the chip. The earphone comes with Apple’s new H1 headphone chip. Apple claims that with this new chip on the board, the new AirPods will have a faster and more stable wireless connection than the previous generation. iPhone maker further claimed that the performance here will be 2x faster while switching between the active device (e.g. switching between an iPhone and a MacBook). With a new chip on the board, the device is also said to offer better battery backup. Apple wasn’t specific about the capacity of the battery though. But it said that the new AirPods will offer 50% more talk time than the previous generation. Needless to mention, the wireless connectivity has improved here with the inclusion of Bluetooth 5.0 support (earlier model had Bluetooth 4.0).

Design-wise, the new Apple AirPods 2 is the reminiscence of the first generation of AirPods. However, Apple gave a subtle touch by adding a small LED indicator light on the outside. It will now be easier to readily know about the battery life of the device.

But that’s just a small of the story. The big thing here lies on its charging case. This time, AirPods come with a wirelessly charging case, which is said to be Qi standard. We have already seen a similar move from Samsung on the newly announced Galaxy Airbuds. So it didn’t look quite innovative. Nonetheless, the feature is praiseworthy. Although there is no official information yet, the Apple AirPods 2 wireless charging case is rumored to get fully charged just in 15 minutes.

The earbuds also come with hands-free Siri Voice Control feature. On the previous model, users had to double-tap to summon the voice assistant. “Hey, Siri” command can also be used to change the audio volumes, change audio tracks, and make a call easily.

As far as the price is concerned, the new AirPods 2 costs $159 for the one with a regular charging case. The pricing remains unchanged than original AirPods. The AirPods 2 with wireless charging case, however, is slightly pricier. It demands a price of $199 on the purchase. The wireless charging case can also be used to charge the original AirPods and the interested ones can buy them separately at $79.

Vivo X27 Unveiled with FunTouch 9 based on Anrdoid 9

While Vivo’s smartphone lineup may not be as confusing as some others (Xiaomi’s for instance), they do have a lot of phones. Vivo’s V-series are the mid-rangers right now, and I guess, the X-series are the flagships, or is it the Nex? See? It’s confusing. Anyway, Vivo recently launched the V15 and V15 Pro. And now, they already unveiled a new phone – Vivo X27. This has slight improvements over the V15 Pro, with quite the price.

Vivo X27 Overview

The Vivo X27, more or less, looks like the V15 Pro. Even the sizes and colors are similar. The X27 is also available in the two-tone gradient coloring, so, if you put them side by side, maybe you won’t be able to tell one from the other. Also, it has the same 6.39″ AMOLED display and no notches or bezels up front. So, yes, it seems Vivo will push their pop-up camera in most of its smartphones. The in-display fingerprint sensor is also there, and the back houses the triple camera setup in a similar layout.

In terms of the camera setup, both have the primary 48 MP camera with Quad-Bayer filter. So, you’ll get images of 12 MP by default via pixel binning. The improvement is on the Ultra-wide lens, as the X27 features a 13 MP 120-degree lens over 8 MP of the V15 Pro. The depth sensor stays the same at 5 MP. However, the selfie camera is a downgrade. While the V15 Pro packs a 32 MP selfie camera (with Quad-Bayer filter), the X27 has a 16 MP selfie shooter. But we should be able to get better image resolution on this one. Also, the motorized pop-up is a tad bit slower on the X27 at 0.68 seconds compared to 0.46 seconds of the V15 Pro.

In terms of power, the X27 runs on the Snapdragon 710 and 8 GB RAM. While the RAM is the same (for 8 GB variant of V15 Pro), the processor, to me, seems a bit doubtful. I mean, the Snapdragon 675 on the V15 Pro has a faster CPU, but a slower GPU than the 710. So, we can’t say which wins in overall performance. In terms of storage, however, the X27 packs a whopping 256 GB, by default. Also, there is a microSD card slot. And in terms of battery, the X27 has a 4000 mAh over 3700 of the V15 Pro.

However, the price of the X27 makes me think hard that the V15 Pro is a better value for money, here. Because while you get the V15 Pro for $345, the X27 sells for $535! Anyone can plainly see why V15 Pro is a better buy.

Funtouch OS 9

The hardware differences aren’t all that we get on the X27. It does come with FunTouch OS 9 out of the box. FunTouch 9 runs on Android 9 Pie, and while the V15 Pro runs on that too, there are apparently new features, or else why would they unveil that OS again?

So, apparently, the OS now comes with 72 new features, 55 new optimizations, 263 UI improvements as well as a simpler and more beautiful interface. It will also make for a more friendlier and smarter User experience – according to Vivo. But deep down, we all know, that we’d like to not see the iPhone – clone UI.

FunTouch 9 claims to have soft and restrained colors, as well as rich details. It also enables you to change themes, icon layouts, add rounded corners, and dark patterns. In addition, you also get some built-in semi-abstract wallpapers. So, now, you can be sure to see this OS in all upcoming Vivo smartphones.

Vivo X27 Specifications:

Display: 6.39-inch Super AMOLED display Full HD+ resolution (2340 x 1080 pixels), 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 2.5D curved glass
Rear Camera: Triple camera, 48 MP Quad Pixel Sensor with f/1.8, 1/2″, 0.8µm, 78-degree FOV + 13 MP Ultra-wide-angle, 120-degree FOV + 5 MP depth sensor, f/2.4, LED flash
Front Camera: 16 MP pop-up selfie camera
Chipset: Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 710
GPU: Adreno 616
RAM: 8 GB
Storage: 256 GB; Dedicated SD card slot
OS: Android 9 (Pie) with FunTouch OS 9 on the top
Sensors: Fingerprint (under-display), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass
Connectivity: Dual SIM (Nano + Nano), Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.0, Micro USB 2.0, USB OTG support, 3.5mm headphone jack
Battery: 4000 mAh with dual-engine fast charging technology

Apple updates its iMacs lineup with more powerful CPUs and GPUs

Apple quietly announced the 2019 version of the iPad Mini and iPad Air. But that the only thing Apple launched this week. Apple refreshed its iMac lineup as well. And the new Apple iMac 2019 comes with seriously powerful upgrades over its previous models.

Although the new iMacs may look similar to the previous models on the outside, but on the inside, it is a different story. Apple refreshed both of its 4K and 5K iMac models with new notable processors and the graphics cards making it an amazing performer.

Apple iMac 2019 (4K 21.5-inch Model)

Talking about the smaller iMac (21.5-inch iMac) model, it comes in two CPU configurations. One with an 8^th generation Quad-core Core i3 processor clocked at 3.6GHZ and another with an 8^th generation Hexa-core Core i5 processor with a clock speed of 3.0GHz. But both of these variants are configurable with an optional 8^th gen Hexa-core Core i7 processor, which runs at 3.2GHz clock speed.

On the graphics front, the 4K model comes in three different variants. The base variant receives the Radeon Pro 555X graphics card with 2GB of GDDR5 video memory. Similarly, the higher end model gets the Radeon Pro 560X with 4GB GDRR5 memory. The higher-end variant also has an extra privilege on its sleeve. It can be reconfigured with a more capable Radeon Pro Vega 20 with 4GB of HBM2 memory.

Apple iMac 2019 (5K 27-inch Model)

As far as the 5K 27-inch model of the iMac is concerned, the device comes with three variants in terms of CPU. The base variant comes with the 8^th gen Intel Core i5 Hexa-core CPU clocked at 3.0GHz. The mid-tier of the bunch gets the 8^th gen Intel Core i5 Hexa-core CPU running at a clock speed of 3.1GHz. The higher-end model, the powerful of the bunch enjoys a 9^th Gen Intel Core i5 with six cores on the inside clocked at 3.7GHz. If one wishes to make a more capable workstation to handle the workloads, the mid-tier and higher-end model can also be configured with the 9^th Gen Intel Core i9 processor with eight cores (3.6GHz).

Graphics wise, the base model is equipped with Radeon Pro 57X (with 2GB GDDR5 memory) and mid model with Radeon Pro 575X graphics card (with 4GB GDDR5 video memory). The higher-end model, on the other hand, boasts a powerful Radeon Pro 580X GPU (with 8GB GDDR5 memory). It can also be configured with more capable Radeon Pro Vega 48 (with 8GB HBM2).

Memory & Storage

On the memory side of things, all the five models (three variants of the 5K model and two variants of the 4K model) readily comes with 8GB of DDR4 RAM (2666MHz) on the board. But they can be increased to 16GB or 32GB on any day. However, only the higher-end variant of the 5K model can also be boosted with whopping 64GB of RAM.

On the storage front, the choice of Apple is not particularly pleasing. The base variant of the 4K model gets 1TB of HDD (5400-rpm drive). Other models come with a slightly better Apple’s Fusion Drive, which is nothing but a fancy name for an SSHD. Except for the base variant of the 21.5-inch model and the high-end variant of the 27-inch model, all the newbies come with 1TB of Apple’s Fusion Drive. And in the case of higher end model (5K 27-inch), 2TB of SSHD comes out of the box. SSD configurations are also available but Apple offers them separately.

In terms of price, the 4K 21.5-inch model of the Apple iMac 2019 costs $1299 for the base variant whereas the better one demands $1499. And when it comes to the 5K 27-inch model, it costs $1799, $1999, and $2299 for the base, mid-tier, and higher-end variants respectively.
