Budget-oriented Samsung Galaxy A10 and A20 launched in Nepal

Samsung has yet again expanded its budget smartphone segment in Nepal. Samsung Nepal has gone all out and launched two entry-level devices in its A-series lineup. Both the Samsung Galaxy A10 And Galaxy A20 features an Infinity-V display, Android 9 Pie, and a capable (for the price) Exynos 7884 chipset.

Let’s start the things with the display. The Galaxy A20, the better of the two comes with 6.4-inch display whereas its smaller sibling comes with a tad bit smaller 6.2-inch display. Both of these handsets are enriched with HD+ resolution. However, the A10 display employs an IPS LCD panel whereas the A20 enjoys the vibrant Super AMOLED panel. The display on both of these devices come with a minuscule notch on the top, which could be less obtrusive while viewing the contents.

When it comes to the design, these phones come with Glasstic material on the back. We saw similar material on the Galaxy A30 and A50 as well. So we can expect a premium feel while holding the devices. On the optics side, there is a single 13MP snapper on the back of the Galaxy A10. On the other hand, the Galaxy A20 comes with an extra 5MP shooter on the rear panel. With two cameras in action, the Galaxy A20 can capture portrait images but the A10 cannot. On the front, Galaxy 10 and A20 get 5MP and 8MP selfie shooters respectively.

Both of the devices run on the latest Android Pie out of the box. On the software side, A10 and A20 are flavored by the latest and customized One UI on the top. So you will get some fancy features like the Blue light filter mode and Night mode.

On the battery front, the A10 comes with a modest-sized 3400mAh battery. And talking about the Galaxy A20, there is a whopping 4000mAh battery. The A20 also comes with the USB Type-C cable, which is a welcome addition for a budget phone.

Oppo Announced Oppo A7n: A beefed-up variant of the Oppo A5s

A few weeks back, Oppo launched its budget-friendly handset, the Oppo A5s. And this time, the Chinese smartphone maker relaunched the device in the Chinese market with beefed-up RAM and storage. Dubbed as Oppo A7n, the new handset has also received an upgrade in terms of selfie camera.

Oppo A7n Overview:

The newly announced Oppo A7n also has similarity over the last year’s Oppo A7. It comes with a 6.2-inch IPS display with a tiny water drop notch on the top. Even the resolution is the same here. The A7n comes with HD+ display resolution in a 19:9 aspect ratio.

On the performance side, the phone gets the MediaTek Helio P35 chipset, which we already saw on the Oppo A5s. However, unlike A5s, the newbie features 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard memory. What’s completely new here is the presence of the Hyper Boost Acceleration engine, which promises to enhance the performance and the gaming experience.

Oppo smartphones are usually centered around the cameras. So let’s talk about the optics part of the phone now. The handset boasts a dual camera setup on the back. The camera duo on the back encompasses a 13MP, f/2.2 shooter backed by a 2MP, f/2.4 depth sensor. The camera setup looks similar to that on the A7 and A5s. So we can expect a similar performance from all these handsets.

On the front camera, however, the A7n differentiated itself from the A5s and joined the league with the A7. The selfie shooter here has employed a 16MP sensor, which comes with an f/2.0 lens. The phone also comes with the AI-backed beautification. The phone is said to identify 296 facial points to smartly beautify the faces in real time.

When it comes to the battery, the device is quite a powerhouse in itself. The device houses a whopping 4230mAh battery. The handset also comes with “App freezing” feature due to which the background apps do not draw any power and the battery life prolongs. However, the handset still comes with the Micro USB port, which is quite a bummer.

On the security side, the smartphone comes with a fingerprint scanner and the Face Unlock feature. To ensure an extra level of privacy, Oppo has also included a one-touch key on the device, which lets the user switch between private mode and public (regular) mode.

Software-wise, the phone boots on Android Oreo out of the box with ColorOS 5.2 on the top. The phone comes with Lake Light Green Color and is priced at ¥1499 (~$222). However, Oppo hasn’t spoken anything regarding its availability.

Oppo A7n Specifications:

Display: 6.2-inch IPS LCD display
Resolution: HD+ (720 x 1520 pixels)
Chipset: MediaTek Helio P35
CPU: Octa-core (4×2.3 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4×1.8 GHz Cortex-A53)
GPU: PowerVR GE8320
OS & UI:Android Oreo 8.2 with ColorOS 5.2 on the top

Samsung Galaxy S10 could receive faster 25W Fast Charging and Night Mode Update Soon

One of the major issues the Samsung Galaxy S10 users are having right now is the lack of faster fast charging. Yes, it does support Samsung’s 15W fast charging but it is slow compared to others. That might change sometime soon as the company is looking to update the S10 series’ fast charging support.

Don’t Miss: Samsung Galaxy S10E is now available at the cheapest price possible

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is one of the most sought out devices right now. They have a lot to offer and come with quite a bit of features inside. Ranging from the display to the cameras, the series really has set a high standard for smartphones.

Speaking at an event, Samsung China’s President said that the company is thinking about upgrading the Galaxy S10 series’ fast charging power to 25W from the 15W it currently has. On our tests, the Galaxy S10 takes around an hour and 40 minutes while the Galaxy S10+ takes nearly 2 hours to fully charge.

With companies like Xiaomi, Huawei and OnePlus making huge strides with their proprietary fast charge technology, it was about time Samsung did something about theirs.

The Korean Giants are also reportedly considering adding Night Mode into the Galaxy S10 series’ camera application. With Pixel 3 making strides with its Night Sight feature, and Huawei introducing its low-light champ – the P30 Pro. The P30 Pro packs four cameras on the back which Huawei claims can “transform night into day”.

Night mode has really become popular since Google introduced the feature for the Pixel 3. It was really strange for Samsung to skip on this feature on its new flagship series. Since this is a software feature, the Korean company could easily add it on its flagships for an even better photography experience.

OPPO Nepal’s most expensive phone, the R17 Pro, receives price drop

In the last several months, a new category of flagship has immersed in not just the international market, but in Nepal as well. There are a few smartphones in this category that offer a lot at a time when the price of the flagship devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S10 and the Huawei P30 Pro are skyrocketing. One of those lower flagship-priced smartphones, the Oppo R17 Pro just received a price drop to make it more affordable than it previously was.

Oppo R17 Pro Overview

The Oppo R17 Pro sports a similar design to the OnePlus 6T. It has a tall 6.4-inch AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 6 protection. There is a water drop notch holding the front-facing camera measuring 25-megapixel.

The Oppo R17 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset coupled with 8 GB of RAM and Adreno 616 GPU. Oppo has offered 128 GB of internal memory which is expandable via a microSD card. The device runs on the older Android 8.1 Oreo with ColorOS on top. There is an under display fingerprint scanner on the R17 Pro.

As for the optical side of things, there are triple cameras on the back of the Oppo R17 Pro. There is a 12-megapixel primary camera, a 20-megapixel depth sensor, and a ToF 3D stereo lens. A 3,700 mAh battery backs the device with Oppo including its Super VOOC fast charging on the phone.

Oppo R17 Pro Pricing (After price drop)

When Oppo launched the R17 Pro in Nepal, we had complained about its exorbitant price tag. The phone, while not housing a flagship-grade processor, cost a whopping Rs. 89,990. With the price drop, the Oppo R17 Pro now sells for Rs. 75,990 as a New Year Offer.

Even with the improved pricing, the phone, in my opinion, is still overpriced. The OnePlus 6T looks definitely a better deal, and the ongoing sale on the Samsung Galaxy S10E at Sastodeal is an absolute steal.

Samsung Galaxy S10E is now available in Nepal at the cheapest price possible

Galaxy S10E is the least expensive flagship from Samsung this year. Since it comes with almost all the major features of the more expensive Galaxy S10 and S10+, the handset really offers a great value for the price it’s asking. And this amazing device is now available for purchase in Nepal at the least price possible. This offer is introduced by SastoDeal and is slated to last for a week. But since SastoDeal is offering a discount of Rs. 20,000 and the stocks are limited, the smartphone could run out of stock before the designated time period. So if you are interested in the deal, you better hurry up.

Since the e-commerce website is offering so much of discount, you might have doubts about the genuineness of the product. But there is nothing to be suspicious about it. The smartphone is from IMS, one of the authorized distributors of Samsung products in Nepal. When you purchase the device, you will receive a sealed pack unit and will also get one year of warranty.

Samsung Galaxy S10e Overview:

Design

Despite being an affordable flagship from Samsung, the handset looks and feels very premium. Samsung has used glass back here and a sturdy aluminum frame to ensure robustness. Since the device also happens to IP68 certified, the handset is water and dust resistant as well.

Display

On the display side, the handset flaunts a 5.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display. The screen on the device is surrounded by narrow bezels and has a tiny hole punch on the top to accommodate the selfie camera. With such setup, the display on the device is really immersive. As Samsung has used Dynamic AMOLED panel on this device, which also happens to be HDR 10+ compliant, users can feel cinematic expensive while viewing the contents.

Camera

On the optics front, the Galaxy S10E is enriched by dual camera setup at the back. The primary 12MP camera is accompanied by a 16MP ultra-wide-angle shooter. So in addition to the portrait images, users can also expand the field of view of images while capturing the images from the device. Similarly, a 10MP selfie shooter dwells on the tiny hole punch cutout. Apart from the normal and portrait selfies, the front snapper on this device also records steady 4K videos. This feature is unavailable on most of the flagships available in the market right now. That’s why the Galaxy S10E is one of the desirable handsets of 2019.

Performance

On the performance side, the phone comes with Exynos 9820 chipset with 6GB of RAM. There is also 128GB of onboard memory. And in the case of need, users can expand it up to 512GB using an SD card. With such kind of hardware setup, the smartphone can load and run anything thrown at it.

Extras

The phone boots on the latest Android Pie out of the box with Samsung’s One UI on the top. The battery has to be the major compromise on the device since it comes with a mere 3100mAh capacity. But since there are too many other things to like about the phone, the battery may not matter much especially for the price.

At a time, when the smartphones are moving forward without the 3.5mm headphone jack. Samsung hasn’t taken that away from the audiophiles. Plus, there is a stereo speaker setup. So, the audiophiles can enjoy the immersive sound here.

Design: Glass body with an aluminum frame, IP68 Dust and Water Resistant

Samsung’s Exynos 9710 leaked based on 8nm process and a better GPU

Details on Samsung’s new Exynos 9710 has started to surface online. It’s a potential successor to the Exynos 9610, that has proven itself in the Galaxy A50. Beating the likes of the Snapdragon 660, could this (Exynos 9710) go head to head with the SD675?

Seeing how Samsung has a bunch of phones in the A-series pending announcement, this seems like a solid SoC for something like the Galaxy A60 or the Galaxy A70. Either way, we are expecting a very powerful SoC aimed at the upper mid-range segment.

Also Read: Galaxy A30 receives a price cut

Going by the leaks, the new SoC will be manufactured on an 8 nm process. Core count will remain at eight, with four Cortex A76 at 2.1 GHz and four Cortex A55 at 1.7 GHz. This should and will result in better battery life and performance, as opposed to the Exynos 9610.

In addition, its GPU is another one of the aspects that will get an upgrade. The Mali-G72 MP3 will be replaced with a much better Mali-G76 MP8 clocked at 650 MHz. A huge improvement for the former if compared with the later, however, real-life performance might differ.

To sum it all up, the new (leaked) SoC performs faster, has a better GPU and hogs less battery. Seems like a win win win situation for Samsung. The only question that remains is when? This is the first time we are hearing of this particular product, so it could take a while.

Huawei P30 Lite available for purchase in Nepal

While the Huawei P30 and the P30 Pro is the talk of the town right now, another one of the P30-series was launched quietly. The Huawei P30 Lite did not get to share all that glory, but it is now available for purchase in some regions including Nepal. You can get the device right now in Nepal for a midrange price from e-commerce platform Daraz, Huawei showrooms, and major retail outlets.

Huawei P30 Lite Overview

Design & Display

Aesthetically, the P30 Lite has a similar-looking dual-tone gradient coloring like its bigger P30 sibling. However, you will find a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor instead of a much expensive in-display sensor. There’s also a water-drop notch upfront. Its display is a 6.15″ IPS LCD with Full-HD+ resolution. So, not so different from the other mid-range we’re seeing these days, is it?

Performance and Memory

Now, with a name like P30 Lite, it might appear as if it’s similar to the likes of Galaxy S10e. But this one is strictly a mid-ranger. Packing the Kirin 710 SoC inside, there’s also 6 GB RAM in it. Internal storage rests as 128 GB but there’s a microSD card slot as well, so, no worries, there The chipset here is one that we saw in the Nova 3i and Honor 8X. The SoC can handle the everyday task that you throw at it. In our review, we played Asphalt 9 in the device and it runs without any major hiccups.

Camera

The camera on the P30 Lite isn’t the same that we found on the P30 and P30 Pro. It features a triple camera setup. The primary camera has a 24MP sensor and is accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2MP camera. The output is the same as that in other mid-range devices. The photos are detailed, a little saturated but decent anyways. On the front, there is a 32MP selfie camera which gives colorful. and bright pictures.

Battery and Others
