Samsung is all set to launch its first foldable smartphone on February 20. The Youtube teaser didn’t reveal much and yet has managed to get us pretty excited. Take a look at the video below:
So, are you excited for the Samsung unpacked event? The phone has very well managed to be a mystery at this point, we do not even have an exact name. The rumor mill is filled with speculations of the device’s name. Viable options among those would be the Galaxy F, Galaxy X, Galaxy Flex or Galaxy Fold.
While the smartphone industry has reached a point of saturation, most believe foldable phones to be the next big thing. That and 5G connectivity seem very promising. With the decreasing sales figures for smartphones in general, many manufacturers are counting on them to drive sales.
It’s not just Samsung that’s in the race, Chinese companies have already announced their plans of launching foldable phones too. This might not be a surprise for most invested in the tech world. The Royale FlexPai has launched and is the first flexible phone, albeit a bit rushed and unpolished.
OMG! It seems like Samsung has shown us the foldable phone in its newest video which it seems to have deleted now. Watch the video below now and see the screenshots from the video in the next tweet showing Galaxy F/Fold.#GalaxyFold#GalaxyF#Samsung#FoladablePhonepic.twitter.com/oRYyuVoDWw
Back to the actual phone, it will come with a 7-inch large foldable AMOLED display and another secondary 4-inch panel. So, for unfolded usage, the 7-inch will take the lead while on folded mode, and use the smaller display normally. The video isn’t solid evidence of the Galaxy Flex, but it’s still something.
Internally, it’s expected to come with an Exynos 9820 or the Snapdragon 855, with around 512GB of internal storage. It is also said to come with two batteries, each with a capacity of 2,190mAh for a total of 4,380mAh. The phone is expected to cost around $1800 and will launch alongside their new Galaxy S10 series.
Digital Kagaj is something that looks more like a concept of a product for something bigger. This is something that is very simple and minimalistic and doesn’t do much. It is as advertised – just a digital paper that you, well…write on, nothing more.
Design and Display
As this is something that does not do much, the design is also pretty simple. It’s this big black slab of plastic material with some thickness to it. It looks like a mini black-board of sorts, the ones that used to be in schools. And the functionality is also about pretty much the same.
It is made out of all plastic and might give the impression of a tablet on first glance. The button on the top makes it look more like a tablet. But let me assure you, it is nothing but a slab to write on. The button on top acts as an eraser of sorts – it is a delete button. There’s a slot to keep the stylus at the back and a battery slot right beside it. However, this one doesn’t have any kind of rechargeable feature. This is just your regular battery that promises up to 100,000 writings on it.

The construction looks pretty durable too even though it’s all plastic. It does flex quite a bit when pressure is applied, but not to the point it will break. Of course, if you do it forcefully, it will break…but this means that it can handle your everyday abuse. It is also pretty lightweight, weighing less than 200 grams. So, very easy to carry, too.
The stylus looks like a cheap pen and is very lightweight too. But the stylus is nothing but a pen-shaped plastic, anyway. As it has no internal mechanism or anything. You can also easily write with any pointed object, like your nails, or something like that. So, even if you lose the stylus, there’s nothing to worry about. And this device can only write in green. There are no color options available, for now. But if it did have them, that would be quite interesting.
The display is LCD. And by the display, I mean the part which you write on. It is not a “real display”. However, it is pressure sensitive, so, you can apply different levels of pressure to write in various styles too. The display is resistant to bright lights, so, you can also use it in the sun. But due to the lack of any kind of screen lighting mechanism, it cannot be used all that much in dark environments.
Also, this thing is not water-proof, so, be careful in the rain…or just keep it away from water.
Usage and Performance
Talking about the usage and such, I have already said quite a few times that it doesn’t do much. After all, it’s technically a paper. So, this is something you primarily use to pass the time. I, mostly played “Tic-tac-toe” on it, just for the heck of it. And while we used to waste paper for that, now, we don’t need to!
But this is also a good way to get kids engaged in stuff. You can teach them alphabets, or numbers, calculations or drawings and stuff. If your kids like to just scribble on paper, this will also be a relief. It will reduce the paper wastage and be less messy around the house, too. Plus, it is a great alternative to getting kids hooked to mobile phones from an early age.
This can, also, be a good utility for students. It can serve as a way to do rough calculations or scribble notes in rough for memorizing. It can come in handy while doing maths, as you don’t have to keep doing it in the corners of your notebook, or do it on the table and rub it off later. Plus, this can be used in small restaurants to take orders from customers without wasting paper!
For office workers, it can be a way to keep track of everyday tasks. It is a better alternative to those sticky notes which you have to stick on your walls and look untidy. But for those of us, who work only on their computers, or laptops, this may not be very useful. For people like us, we even have sticky notes in our laptops itself. So…this is for those, who are not on their computers 24 / 7.
In addition, this is a good tool for designers as well. If you need to provide a rough layout for the designs, this is a good way to do so. And if you like to simply doodle on, then, you can do that too.
The major drawback is the lack of an eraser. There is a delete button, but when you press it, everything on it will be deleted. If this only had an eraser or a one-step undo button, it would be much more practical for designers and artists as well. And not only them, but it would be practical for everyone. Because, if you just make a single mistake, then, you have to delete everything! And that is very impractical…so, an eraser would make a big difference!
Also, this one has got no storage of any kind. It is only a simple writing page. You cannot store anything in it, you have to take pictures of it. There is a lock button on the bigger model, which when triggered can prevent accidentally erasing the contents as well. So, if you are doing something important, you can use that.
Conclusion
Digital Kagaz sizes
1 of 2
8.5-inch model
10-inch model
This Digital Kagaj is priced at Rs.1950 for the bigger 10-inch model and Rs.1450 for the smaller 8.5-inch model. Maybe, they could have included a storage mechanism, but that would make it more expensive and a different device altogether.
However, this is a very good concept, with the objective of “Say Goodbye to Paper“. And what I think is, this is still in its starting phase. You can purchase it commercially, but what I want to see is a full-fledged digital copy with storage, so that you can write notes on it, and can replace your whole notebook. And we can save more paper!
But for now, as it stands, this is also a great product for casual usage. It is a great concept, and I like it quite a bit. What do you think of it, do let us know. And if you can think of any other practical usages, do let us know that too!
Nubia is a China-based smartphone brand. Founded in October 2012, the smartphone brand remained as the subsidiary of ZTE (Zhongxing Telecommunication Equipment Corporation) in its early days. After receiving abundant investment from Suning Holdings Group and Suning Commerce Group, the brand started working as an independent organization in 2015. In 2017, ZTE also reduced its stake in Nubia down to 49.9% after which the brand no longer remained the subsidiary of ZTE. But remained as an associate brand.
After the brand endorsed Cristiano Ronaldo as its brand ambassador, the popularity of the smartphone hyped. And since Nubia markets its smartphones as “Mobile Photography Expert”, the mobile photography enthusiasts have also been quite attracted to the Nubia handsets. The brand is also equally renowned for the innovations and the notch-less and bezel-less Nubia X is one of the examples.
Although Nubia is recognized for being an online exclusive brand in other nations, Nubia is rather available only in the offline markets in Nepal. And in this article, we have tried to compile all the Nubia smartphones available in Nepal along with their full specifications and latest price.

Samsung Nepal has officially launched the M-series in Nepal. The Galaxy M10 is available from offline stores and select online e-commerce platforms like Daraz, Sastodeal, and Smartdoko. It is available in 2GB RAM and 16GB storage configuration. The Galaxy M10 is priced at Rs.13,290. For the price, the Galaxy M10 should be one of the best budget phones of 2019, at least in Nepal.
Samsung Galaxy M10 Overview
The Galaxy M10 features a tall 6.2-inch 720P display with a teardrop notch. Unlike most of Samsung phones out there, this phone doesn’t come with an AMOLED display. Samsung has included an IPS LCD panel on this device. So there won’t be the punchy blacks. But considering the price, you cannot expect more.
Talking about the cameras, the phone flaunts a dual-camera setup at its back. Dual-camera is a rare feature at this price range. So the Galaxy M10 surely has solid ground on the camera department. And as the secondary shooter on this device captures a wide field of view, it offers greater versatility than most of the budget and mid-range devices out there. For the selfies, there is a 5MP snapper tucked neatly on the notch up top.
Powering the device is Exynos 7870 processor backed with 2GB of RAM. You also get 16GB of onboard memory to store all of your files and photos. There is also a dedicated SD card slot with which users can expand the storage further.
On to the software side, you get the Android Oreo with Experience UI on the top. But Samsung has already released an update for the device. So you can readily update the device to Android Pie. You can also get One UI treat on the top. A decent-sized 3400mAh battery keeps the device running.
Specifications:
Display: 6.2-inch IPS LCD display with 2.5D curved glass on the top
Resolution: HD+ (720 x 1520 pixels) @ 269PPI
Chipset: Samsung’s Exynos 7870
CPU: Octa-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A53
GPU: Mali-T830 MP1

The OPPO F11, the 6th smartphone in the company’s mid-range lineup is set to launch soon. How soon you ask? Reports claim the smartphone will get an official launch sometime around the first week of March. The phone codenamed CPH1969, or the OPPO F11 Pro has been in the rumor mill for a while, but today we have an official render to share.
Starting off at the back, this iteration boasts a 48MP CMOS sensor. It’s the same concept as on the Redmi Note 7 Pro, capturing 12MP photos + pixel binning for the 48MP end result. The front gets a 32MP pop-up camera. The display will stretch to the top, with the earpiece embedded into the bezel. There is a minimal bezel at the bottom.
The same 48MP sensor is rumored to be a part of Vivo V15 Pro’s specs sheet as well. The pop-up camera should be interesting at this point in time, especially for a mid-ranger. The fingerprint sensor lies below the rear cameras, ideally to reduce the use of face recognition.
At this point, if it wasn’t going to come with a pop-up camera, we could expect the fingerprint to be long gone. Sadly this also means no in-display fingerprint sensor, a feature already present on the Vivo V11 Pro. The top of the line configuration will feature 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
Furthermore, like the F9 Pro, the F11 Pro will sport fast charging for the beefy 4500mAh battery through a USB-C port. Rumors claim the phone will sport a high-end MediaTek processor, preferably the Helio P70. Pricing is expected to be around Rs 25,000 Indian Rupees.
MSI, the name that has proven itself in the gaming community, just introduced three new laptops in Nepal. The list includes RTX powered laptops, with either an RTX 2060 or an RTX 2070, all powered by a six-core i7-8750H processor. Now, we have all heard about RTX series laptops being all expensive and not worth the money. But bear with me, as I shall prove you wrong, or at least try to.
GL63 8SE
Processor: Intel 8th Gen Coffee Lake i7 8750H 2.2GHz-4.1GHz
Display: 15.6″ Full HD (1920 x 1080) 60Hz
GPU: GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6
RAM: Dual Channel 16GB DDR4 2666 MHz (Max 32GB)
Storage: 1TB HDD + 256GB NVME SSD
Ports: USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C, USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A, SD m-DP, HDMI (4K output @30Hz)
Connectivity: Killer E2400 Gaming LAN + Killer Wireless-AC AC 9560 (2*2 a/c) + BT
These might seem like some really expensive laptops, and they are but first, consider the hardware it comes with. RTX provides a hefty bump over its predecessor, the GTX1060, and is almost as powerful as the GTX 1070. That’s with the Ray-Tracing and DLSS out of the equation. Let’s look at a few pointers as to why buying any of these three laptops is a good deal.
Nepali pricing
Nepali consumers are familiar with paying a premium for laptops if purchased from the official channels. That’s not exactly the case here, the prices are pretty well put together, unlike what the history suggests. There is a slight chance these prices might be unbeatable, combine that with the perks of buying from an official channel, can we argue with that?
The RTX GPU
Now, international pricing aside, RTX GPUs are pretty powerful. They are overpriced for sure, but it’s a well thought out graphics processor that should get better with time. Rumors of the new DLSS update hints at a 50% more in-game fps and that is huge. Even without the update, the RTX 2060 can easily tackle the likes of GTX 1070, while the RTX 2070 takes on the GTX 1080. With more games soon to support ray-tracing and more optimizations, we should see RTX GPUs show their full potential in the coming months.
I looked around the current laptop market in Nepal, and the cheapest laptops with a GTX 1070 I could find was over 2 lakhs. And those laptops only come with 7th gen processors, while this one gets an 8th Gen i7 processor, with more cores, more threads, and a higher clock speeds. Combine both and you get even better frame rates on games, faster renders, and overall better user experience.
Conclusion
These laptops are worth their asking price. Sure, for over 2 lakhs they better be worth it. The compelling factor here remains its prices and the high cost of GTX 1070 equipped laptops in Nepal. If you live somewhere in the US, the same might not apply.
Seemed like it was just a while back that we laid our hands on the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro and now its already time for the successor! The P20 pro had dazzled everyone with a triple camera set up and now Huawei is all set to bring on another P- series device. The Huawei P30 and P30 Pro, as far as the rumors go, are coming in the market at the end of March!
Huawei’s P- lineup smartphones are their flagship that they roll out once a year, focussing primarily on cameras and looks. Last year’s P20 Pro made a lot of buzz in the tech community. And this time, it’s not only going to be two of them but three, which will most likely be named Huawei P30 Lite, P30 and P30 Pro! The light version of the device is said to have mid-range specs whereas, the other two, like usual will be flagships!
Not meaning to be sassy, but sounds to me something already being done by iPhones.
Rumors also confirm that the Huawei will be holding a press meet later in March to announce it’s next P- series smartphone. Like the predecessor models, the devices to launch are going to feature power-packed cameras. Similarly, the devices will also have an additional ToF sensor alongside the triple camera setup. Both the P30 and P30 Pro will have sensors from Sony in their phones. Additionally, the phone is said to feature a periscope for delivering higher optical zoon experience.
Also, we are expecting the Kirin 980 to fuel this device like the Mate series. The P30 and P30 Pro may have different RAM variants though, with the P30 rumored to have 8 GB and P30 Pro having up to 12 GB of RAM. And since the Mate 20 Pro featured an in- display fingerprint sensor, the P30 pro might also have one!
The devices are likely to come in March so, we won’t probably be seeing them in MWC this year. Although it’s rumored that Huawei may showcase a foldable phone with 5G connectivity.
Qualcomm has launched a new smartphone SoC – the Snapdragon 712. When the 700-series were announced, they promised 2 times the AI performance and 30% more power efficiency over the existing 600-series. And fast forward to today, we only have a Snapdragon 710 in that category, which we can find in mid-range devices of today. With the Snapdragon 712, we now have one more…but it doesn’t add anything except to what we already have.
The Snapdragon 712 has the same architecture, the same fabrication, and everything. The only difference is that the 712 provides a 100 MHz more clock speed, making it 2.3 GHz from the 710’s 2.2 GHz. Qualcomm says that the 712 is 10% faster than the 710. And I doubt that kind of performance boost is even noticeable. So…not very exciting stuff, is it?
Source: Wikipedia
The only thing that can be considered an upgrade is the support for QuickCharge 4.0+. With this, at least, the charging time on phones will decrease considerably. Besides that, everything is the same.
It is still based on the 10 nm technology, with 8 cores – two 2.3 GHz Kyro 360 Gold Cortex-A75 cores and six 1.7 GHz Kyro 360-Silver Cortex A-55 cores. Also, it features the same Adreno 616 as GPU and Hexagon 685 DSP. Just like it’s predecessor, i.e. the 710, it integrates the Qualcomm X15 LTE modem too. So, this is all the same. There’s nothing new. At all.
But still, with its small added benefits, it will be used in the upcoming mid-range devices. But honestly, I do not see any considerable benefit in this one. So, if the upcoming mid-range devices are going to include this chipset, then, they better provide other compelling features as well. Else, any older phone with a Snapdragon 710 is good enough and there will be no need to upgrade to the 712.
The Snapdragon 712 will be available by the first quarter of 2019.
Motorola has proved to be one of the choices in the budget smartphone segment for quite a while now. The company’s G-series, more specifically, is one of the go-to smartphones for someone looking for top-quality specifications in a budget price tag.
The Lenovo-owned company announced four new smartphones today, all following the same ‘moto’ I mentioned above. The new members of the G-series, the Moto G7 Play, G7 Power, G7, and G7 Plus all add up to Motorola’s answer to the budget segment for 2019.
Moto G7 Play
The Moto G7 Play is the cheapest of the four smartphones that were unveiled today. It has a 5.7-inch HD+ display with a large notch located at the top. The phone is made out of plastic and comes with a little chin up front. For performance, Motorola has included the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor coupled with 2 GB of RAM and Adreno 506 GPU.
In terms of optics, the Moto G7 Play features a single 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. For storage purpose, this device packs in 32 GB of internal memory with an option to expand. There is a 3,000 mAh battery inside. The Moto G7 Plus will ship with Android v9.0 Pie out of the box.
The Moto G7 Power gets its name due to the 5,000 mAh battery it packs. According to Motorola, this battery will last for about 72 hours on a single charge. It is also supported by the company’s TurboPower charging. The G7 Power sports a 6.2-inch HD+ display with a notch on top. Even though the HD display certainly helps the battery last longer, the fact that the display has such lower resolution is a bummer.
The Moto G7 Power is powered by 3 GB of RAM and the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset. The device has a base storage of 32 GB with support for external memory. For camera purpose, the G7 Power has a single 12-megapixel sensor on the rear with the same 8-megapixel front camera. This phone also runs on Android Pie.
The Moto G7 and G7 Plus, unlike their names, are similar to each other in a lot of aspects. The camera sensor and the choice of the chipset differentiate the two devices.
The Moto G7 has a tall 6.2-inch full HD+ display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. On top is a water-drop notch with a chin on the bottom. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset powers the smartphone with Motorola claiming the G7 to be 50% faster than the G6. The phone comes with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage that is expandable with a microSD card. Unlike the G7 Play, the G7 has a glass back making it look and feel more premium than the rest. On the back lie dual 12-megapixel and 5-megapixel cameras that have a couple of AI-capabilities. There is a 3,000 mAh battery on the phone that is fast charging enabled.
The Moto G7 Plus, on the other hand, has a dual 16- and 5-megapixel. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset which is similar to the 632.

Verdict
When Motorola came up with its G-series smartphones a few years ago, the devices that were launched then were groundbreaking. Everyone loved the handsets and no other manufacturer could compete with the phones in their respective price segment.
However, since Lenovo took over Motorola, I have been constantly disappointed with what the Chinese company is offering. While other manufacturers have improved and made amends in the budget segment to launch their flagship killing devices, it seems like Motorola is still living in the shadow of its previously popular G-series smartphones. Even the devices launched today, are far from what the competitors are currently offering. And as a fan of the G-series from Motorola, it is certainly sad to see how Motorola has turned up.
There is so much hype regarding the Samsung Galaxy S10 right now! It seems like there are a lot of expectations from it, hence, all the rumors and renders and stuff. We are hearing new things about it daily. And the latest addition to all of that is the newly leaked information that says the Galaxy S10 has can charge the new Samsung Galaxy Earbuds wirelessly on it’s back.
Image credit: WinFuture
So, this means that it confirms that the rumors about the Galaxy Buds are true and that there is reverse wireless charging on the Galaxy S10. Leaked images from WinFuture shows the Galaxy Buds on top of a variant of the Galaxy S10. The Galaxy buds need to be placed within the charging case and put on the back of the phone with reverse charging feature turned on. Of course, that is not always practical, but the feature is there.
This doesn’t say much about the Galaxy Buds though, except that it will be called the Galaxy Buds. They are, of course, wireless, and might come with full Bixby support and such. But this product already has the FCC certification, so, it will soon be launched. Maybe, along with the Galaxy S10, most probably.
Samsung is a company that used to be quite innovative. But in all these leaks we’ve seen up to now, we’re only seeing things that we’ve already seen somewhere else. Reverse Wireless Charging of the Mate 20 Pro, and the Galaxy Buds remind me of the AirPods. So, yes, this is nothing new, I guess. Let’s see what else the Galaxy S10 will bring.
