The handset boasts a 13MP camera on the back accompanied by single tone LED flash. An aperture of f/1.7 favors the rear camera, which helps to inlet light in abundance and giving out crisp and well-detailed images even on low lights.

The Huawei Nova 2i is a proven camera smartphone. Even though the device is a year old, it can still go up against some of the heavy hitters of the present time. And the handset is also one of the rarest smartphones with the quad camera setup (dual camera at the back and at the front).

With the AI capabilities, the front camera does the trick of embellishing the faces while capturing selfies in the beauty mode. Normal selfie from the phone is also praiseworthy with genuine clarity and remarkable details. Furthermore, the Note 5 AI is also a capable performer when it comes to capturing of portrait selfies.

The S2 Lite sports a tall 5.99-inch Sharp TDDI display that comes in a HD+ resolution. At a time when most smartphone companies are opting for a full HD display on their smartphones, this choice UMIDIGI has made is quite strange, provided that its another smartphone, the C Note, also features a 1080p panel.

Sensors wise, there are all the necessary ones embedded on the device as it has Gravity Sensor, Ambient Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, E-compass, and Gyroscope.

Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro launched: A budget smartphone with notched display & dual camera

The Chinese smartphone brand Xiaomi has been aggressively launching the smartphones these days. The smartphone maker announced the smartphones like Redmi 6, 6A, Redmi Y2, Redmi S2, Xiaomi MI 8, MI 8 SE and many others in a quick succession. And Xiaomi is not yet satisfied with the number of choices it already laid upon the users. Recently, it launched yet another smartphone in the budget-friendly category alongside the MI Pad 4. Namely known as the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro, this affordable handset comes with the notch on the display and a set of two cameras at the back.

The Redmi 6 Pro comes with a typical Xiaomi design, the metal clad body enclosed with the plastic caps on the top and on the bottom. Despite the lack of any wow factor in terms of the design, the handset gives a premium vibe with a cut out on the display. Started by the Essential PH-1 phone and made popular by the iPhone X, this design language on the display is on the trend these days. We have seen numerous applications of the notched display in the mid-range handsets. But on the budget smartphones, it had been quite rare. This handset could easily fall on the choice of the enthusiasts, who seek for an affordable smartphone with a notched display.

Talking about the design, the 6 Pro enjoys a tall 5.84-inch display, which comes in the 19:9 aspect ratio. This appealing (ugly for some people) notch display features a Full HD+ resolution. With the Full HD+ display, the content on the screen can be expected to look all lively and vivid.

In terms of camera, the Redmi 6 Pro is enriched with the dual camera at the back. When looked at the rear camera of the phone, the combination of hardware used closely resembles Xiaomi’s own Redmi S2. So we can expect that the vertically aligned 12MP +5MP cameras on the Redmi 6 Pro could throw an identical performance like the Redmi S2.

Up front, there is 5MP selfie shooter on the handset. Despite being low in terms of megapixel count, the front camera is HDR enabled and AI-powered. Additionally, the front camera also finds its scope on unlocking the handset by sensing the face of the user.

Moving on to the chipset and processor, it is boring to see the Snapdragon 625 chipset again. Lately, Xiaomi has brought quite a handful of handsets with the SD 625 chipset in the similar price point. And seeing it again did not seem exciting. Nonetheless, the SD 625 is a capable chipset and can perform remarkably well at this price point. In terms of the memory, the smartphone comes in three memory configurations: 3GB/32GB, 4/32GB, and 4/64GB.

Talking about the sensors, the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro has got all the basic sensors including the fingerprint sensor at the back. And hidden beneath the metallic back, there is a 4000mAh battery to fuel the processes inside the phone.

As for the price, the base variant is priced at CNY 999 ($153) whereas the other two variants, 4/32GB, and 4/64GB variants carry the price tags of CNY 1,199 ($185) and CNY 1,299 ($200), respectively.

HP Omen 15T laptop Review: Good Deal Below 100K

The HP Omen 15T can be an overkill for most people. But for us, it was pure joy, with all the linings and all the reds in all the right places, we think this laptop looks pretty “dope”. It also gets a nice spec sheet and an acceptable price tag. The build quality is also not that bad and you probably won’t regret buying it.

HP Omen 15T Specs

  • Display: 15.6″ Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution IPS technology
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-7700HQ 2.8GHz (Turbo up to 3.8GHz)
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 with 2GB GDDR5
  • RAM: 8GB DDR4 2400MHz
  • HDD: 1TB
  • Weight: 2.2kgs
  • Battery: 64Whr (load 1.5h/idle 5h)
  • Price: Rs 1,00,000

Build and Design

I must say the laptop looks pretty good, but what’s even more impressive is it’s build quality. Initially looking at the laptop, it does feel a bit flimsy and not very durable. The top is made up of more than one layer of plastic, all for aesthetical purposes of course, but it’s not really so bad once you start using it.hp omen 15t build and display

This is one of the most typical gaming laptops out there. With a huge multiplication sign on the top and on the bottom of the keyboard, you know what you’re getting into. It also goes all in with the red sprinkled all over the laptop. The top and bottom are plastic, but the palm rest including the keyboard area is all metal.

Display

Opening the lid, you are greeted by a 15.6-inch 1920×1080 IPS panel. It’s not really a bad panel but anything other than gaming and you will find yourself on the frustrating side of life. It just doesn’t produce a lot of colors, or what most people call accurate color reproduction. Technically, the display is capable of producing about 65% of sRGB and 49% of AdobeRGB color spectrum with brightness hovering at around 213nits.hp omen 15t display

If that makes no sense to you, then let me explain. It’s a bad display, with average color reproduction. But most people won’t mind it and it’s still a really usable and sharp display. The display is also capped at 60Hz, but there are 1080p@144Hz and 4k@60Hz versions available as well. Those also provide better color accuracy and are much much brighter.

Performance

The laptop performs pretty decently, with an Intel Core i7 7700HQ processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 1TB mechanical hard drive. Now, I felt the laptop performed very well, as so it should. It has one of the best processors of last year. The CPU also goes very well with the GPU in hand, with a bit of bottleneck. It’s fine, as the GPU bottlenecks the CPU and not the other way around as far as gaming is concerned, isn’t it? 7700HQ + GTX 1050Ti bottleneck

Gaming Performance

It features a GTX 1050 with 2GB of GDDR5 VRAM. Some might call it entry-level for gaming, but for those average users, it is going to be more than enough. It’s definitely better than last year’s 950M or even the 960M. We like to think it goes toe to toe with the 965M.hp omen 15t Gaming

You can play most games at medium to low settings without compromising on the resolution. If you lock the fps at 30, you can even get away with high configurations. I suggest you choose more frames per second over quality, but everyone has different priorities.

 

As you can see, the HP OMEN 15t barely runs PUBG at 60fps under the lowest settings possible. Other games like FIFA 18 and Rocket League ran at well over 90 fps under ultra settings, which was quite impressive. All in all, it’s a pretty capable card, especially considering the price.

Thermals

The GTX 1050 is an average GPU with good thermal performance. The minimal heat it produces is pretty impressive, with temperatures that never crossed 50 degrees. Ideally, it stays at around 30 under normal usage and goes up to 47-degrees after an hour of intensive gameplay. It also throttles very less. Safe to say it does pretty well with thermals.hp omen 15t thermals

Storage

The 1TB of Hard Drive feels a bit feels a bit sluggish though, for eg booting the device will take over 2 minutes and just opening Google Chrome takes about 10 whole seconds. Although it can be fixed by adding an M.2 SSD, which the laptop supports by the way. I am not saying the laptop is actually slow, but after using machines with SSDs for a few years now, I can’t seem to grasp how slow hard disk storages actually were.

Keyboard and Trackpad

The keyboard was clicky and the typing experience was satisfying. I also like the 2 levels of backlit keys. The second stage only lights up the WASD keys, which I feel looked good under dark conditions. Then there is the usual red backlit, which comes standard just like on all other gaming laptops.hp omen 15t keyboard

The trackpad, however, is pretty bad. It has clicky right & left buttons, but the tracking just gives it away. This is one of the worst trackpads I have ever seen on a gaming laptop. The gestures work ok but the tracking feels inconsistent and inaccurate.

Connectivity

I have had no particular connectivity issues, thanks to the HP Omen 15T’s ample ports for all my needs. The USB C port touch is a nice touch although 4 lane PCIe support is optional. The onboard speakers do a decent job. It produces punchy sounds and is acceptably loud. You can’t properly game on it due to the loud fans, but for movies and music, they are fine.hp omen 15t connectivity

Battery

This laptop comes with a 150w power supply. The charger is sleeker and more compact in size than my 130w charger. The battery life is good for a gaming laptop as I got around 4-5 hours of life under normal usage. Gaming was also possible for around an hour and a half. It’s a 67Whr battery on a gaming laptop so I didn’t expect much at first either.hp omen 15t battery

Conclusion

So, for Rs 1,00,000, you get an i7 7700HQ processor, 8GB of RAM, good thermal performance, a nice keyboard and an entry-level GTX 1050 on the HP Omen 15T. What you don’t get is fast storage. Due to the same reason, the laptop feels sluggish overall, but all you need is an SSD to fix that. The trackpad and display aren’t really something to be proud of either. hp omen 15t gaming laptop

Pros Cons
Design Touchpad
Thermals Display
Connectivity No SSD

Alternatives

But should you buy it? Well, for the same price you can buy something like the Acer VX 15 with almost exactly similar specs. So, it’s basically an aesthetical choice, because the VX15 has good thermal performance too. There is also the Dell 7567 with a GTX 1050Ti but only has a Quad Core i5 processor.

Nokia 7 Plus Review: The Trendy Beast!

Different. That’s the word that popped in my mind when I held the Nokia 7 Plus for the first time. This new high-end midrange smartphone is quite different than what we usually see with Nokia devices with the elongated display and newer design. So, how does this device perform? Is it as good as Nokia has claimed it to be? Let’s find out in this review.

Nokia 7 Plus Specifications:

  • Display: 6″ IPS LCD full HD+ (2160 x 1080, 18:9), Corning Gorilla Glass 3
  • Storage: 64 GB eMMC 5.1, expandable up to 256 GB

  • Cable type: USB Type-C (USB 2.0)
  • Battery: 3800 mAh battery
  • Price: Rs. 46,899

Design and Build

The Nokia 7 Plus is a metallic phone that is covered with what Nokia calls ceramic feel coating on its back. This material is just several layers of paint on top of the aluminum. It doesn’t feel like ceramic, but the texture is differently amazing. The phone also has a certain amount of heft to it which I have liked during my time of usage. What remains here from the older Nokia is the sturdy build which I have really liked during my time of using the smartphone.

The device can also handle a few drops here and there, although I suggest handling your phone nicely. Overall, the Nokia 7 Plus is the perfect blend of what the older Nokia stood for and the current trend of 2018.

Display

nokia 7 plus review display quality

Now let’s talk about the display of the Nokia 7 Plus. This phone comes with a tall and trendy 6-inch display with minimal bezels that speaks “modern”. I am really into vivid and saturated displays, and the 7 Plus has provided me with that. It is bright and sharp and for what it’s worth, the display is top-quality. However, at times, the display looks so saturated that some colors, take red, for example, look abnormal due to oversaturation. I noticed this while viewing pictures in the gallery. I had previously thought that this saturation was due to the cameras, but viewing it on my laptop, I realized the extent to which the display is saturated. So, even though the quality of this display is top-notch, you might not like the level of saturation at times.

Camera

In the camera department, there are a couple things that were strange here and there in the Nokia 7 Plus. The major problem I had was the difference in the skin tone when I took selfies. However, this issue exists only in group selfies. Nonetheless, the selfies are great with accurate details and just the right amount of sharpness.

The rear side is where things get interesting as the 7 Plus packs two cameras of 12-megapixel and 13-megapixel with Carl Zeiss branding. The secondary camera here acts as a telephoto lens that has 2x optical zoom.

In terms of quality, the Nokia 7 Plus captures pictures with good details, accurate colors and ample saturation. This camera here is well-enough for point and shoot pictures, and if you want to take pictures are per your own liking, there is a pro mode as well where you can adjust the ISO level, shutter speed, and exposure.

The exposure that this rear camera cranks up is helpful during night time as the pictures have a good amount of light in them. I took these samples of Bouddha at 8-ish in the evening and I like how lighted up this roadside is. Now I did face the issue of shaky pictures due to my shaky hands, but the end result was always nice. You get a hint of noise on the objects in the background, but it’s not that noticeable!

Now talking about the portrait mode, the device does justice to the pictures as it can effectively blur out the background of the images. The front camera also takes portrait shots, but it was kind of a mixed bag as you can see from the samples themselves.

Performance and Software

Let’s talk about the software first. The Nokia 7 plus comes under Google’s Android One project and runs stock Android. Being a vanilla Android fan, I really liked using the 7 Plus with its lack of bloatware and smooth performance. This software has helped the processor as well, as the overall performance of the device is flawless. I haven’t experienced lags and the device too hasn’t given up on once.

With the high benchmarks and smooth performance, this device is probably one of the best performing mid-range devices right now.

Hardware and Security

The Nokia 7 Plus comes with 64 GB of onboard memory which is expandable up to 256 GB. However, Nokia has strangely included a hybrid SIM slot. So, if you want more storage, then you will have to give up on your second SIM card. Sound quality wise, the bottom-firing speaker is kind of loud but don’t expect more from it.

Nokia 7 Plus Nepal camera fingerprint

The Nokia 7 Plus has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner which unlocks the smartphone with no issue whatsoever. It is fast and secure. However, if you are into mobile phones featuring face unlock, you might be disappointed to know that the device lacks that security option.

Battery

The Nokia 7 Plus has a huge 3800 mAh battery inside. I was expecting it to completely nail the battery department, but to my surprise, I was disappointed. I got around 5 hours of screen-on-time during my usage which lasted for a day and a half. Maybe this is a flaw with the unit I received as other reviewers have actually praised the battery life, but during my usage, it didn’t impress me as it was only average. But the phone does support Quick Charge 4.0, so the charge will be back up in no time.

Conclusion

So, all in all, I have really liked using this device. It has everything you can ask for in a good mid-range phone, a vivid display, good cameras, smooth performance and stock Android. There are one or two complaints I have with this device, with one being the price itself. I think this device has been overpriced slightly and it would be much better if Paramount decreases the price tag of the 7 Plus but a few thousand bucks. If the company does so, this flagship mid-range will be the best bang-for-buck smartphone right now!

With what the 7 plus has at the helm, it’s one of the nicest smartphones around and you will not regret buying it.
