We have come across rumors regarding the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for quite a time now and Samsung fans are eagerly waiting for its release. Each rumor, each speculation, all end up increasing the curiosity about the much-hyped smartphone. And Samsung seems to be enjoying all this.

The teasers show that the Note 9 may come with a good battery life. It has been confirmed that the battery will have a massive 4,000 mAh capacity. While this has been confirmed, rumors follow that the battery will have the Quick charge 4.0 feature embedded in.

Likewise, it has also come to our knowledge that the Note 9 will have the same processor as the Galaxy S9 and S9+, so similar performance can be expected from the Exynos 9810 chipset. Similarly, another teaser hints about the storage of the device. It’s evident that the company is hinting about the Note 9 having good storage capacity. However, the exact information is yet to arrive at our disposal. But rumors have it that it may come bearing 512 GB of internal storage.

Some sources also reveal that there is an S-Pen button which tells us about an expanded stylus functionality. Well, if the updated S-Pen rumor is true, it’s certainly going to grab the attention of Samsung fans because we haven’t seen many upgrades in the S-Pen lately.

The Note 9 is said to launch on 9th August. According to what’s known, the unveiling is going to happen in Brooklyn, New York. Although the phone will get released in August, pre-bookings are said to start in early August. The device is being launched two weeks prior to the launch of Note 9 last year.

Huawei Nova 3 launched: Wise choice under 60K price in Nepal?

The much-awaited smartphones — the Huawei Nova 3 and Huawei Nova 3i have been launched in Nepal. The Kirin 970 powered Nova 3 is sure to lure a lot of buyers, with it’s AI capabilities, new GPU Turbo technology, and a really nice set of cameras. Other features include a huge battery, good storage options, some really nice eye candy color variants, and an IR face unlock feature. Let’s find out more about the specs, updated price, and availability of Huawei Nova 3 in Nepal.

Huawei Nova 3 Overview

The Nova 3 sports a 6.3-inch IPS LCD, with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The exact ratio was something rare at the time of the release but it has since been adopted by many mid-rangers alike. The panel comes with an FHD+ resolution and thanks to the with 3D double curved glass on both sides, it is easy to hold and isn’t slippery. There is also a notch on top, which for some reason people can’t get enough of. The device does come with a LED notification light but it rests behind the headpiece grill which doesn’t make it that useful in the daily usage.

Performance and Memory

The Kirin 970 SoC comes from Huawei’s in-house HiSilicon factory, the same processor used on their flagship Huawei P20 Pro. The Mali G72 MP12 takes care on the GPU front aided by the GPU Turbo technology. In our review, we didn’t face any lag in day to day usage. Even games like Asphalt 9 and Injustice 2 ran smoothly without any stutter. However, it does heat a little with games like PUBG in HD graphics and a high refresh rate. You also get 6GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage options, with SD card support that uses the second SIM slot.

Camera

The Nova 3 comes with two cameras on the back, 24 MP f/1.8+ 16 MP f/1.8. Even without a depth sensor, the bokeh effect comes out decent except under low light conditions. Normal shots are over-saturated and colors don’t look natural. It is also capable of 4k video recording up to 30fps and 1080p@60fps. The front also gets a dual camera treatment with a 24+2 MP setup. The 2MP here has been employed for better depth detection so the selfie portraits are decent.

The fingerprint sensor is mounted at the rear alongside the dual cameras. Other sensors include an accelerometer, proximity, Gyro, and compass. It also has a huge 3750mAH battery, no complaints here. Finally, it runs on Android Oreo 8.1 with EMUI 8.2 on top.

Huawei Nova 3i with upgraded performance, storage & cameras launched in Nepal

The successor of the Nova 2i has finally launched in Nepal. The Huawei Nova 3i is a much-anticipated smartphone in the Nepali market, with a lot of takers. The smartphone is more suited for those who don’t want to spend big bucks on a Nova 3 or don’t want a relatively sluggish Nova 3e. The Nova 3i offers a substantial improvement over Nova 2i and Nova 3e in performance and camera department.

Overview:

The Nova 3i offers a lot of similarities with the Nova 3, like the display size at 6.3″, the FHD+ resolution and the 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The dimensions for both are also pretty much similar, although this one gets a smaller 3340mAH battery. Powering the phone is a kirin 710 SoC which is the latest in-house chipset from Huawei that offers a huge upgrade in performance and power efficiency over Kirin 659. It is aided by Mali-G51 MP4 GPU and GPU Turbo technology.

On the Nova 3i, you only get a 4GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. The storage is expandable through a micro USB, although it does take up one of the SIM slots. The fingerprint sensor is rear-mounted alongside the dual cameras on the back. It does miss out on an ac WiFi but does get sensors like accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass.

The rear side of the phone gets a 16MP f/2.2 lens and a 2MP depth sensor. It’s also capable of 1080p@30fps video recording. As the same suggests, the front also gets dual cameras, one 24MP, and the other 2MP depth sensor. Judging from its predecessor, we can all but expect a really good set of cameras.

Samsung Galaxy J8 launched in Nepal: Camera and battery, the major highlights

Since the beginning of 2018, we could see a different attitude from Samsung. The Korean smartphone giant has been aggressively launching the smartphones in a quick succession. Samsung brought the Galaxy J2 2018 and Galaxy J4 in the budget section. It also brought Galaxy J7 Duo and Galaxy J6 in the lower midrange section, Galaxy A6, A6+, and Galaxy A8 plus in the premium mid-range section. All these smartphones were launch in a very quick succession.

And we recently came to know that Samsung started implementing the shotgun strategy to beat the growing dominance of Chinese smartphones in the smartphone world. And Nepal has not been an exception in that respect. Samsung has brought all the smartphones to Nepal, which has been launched in the international arena. And this time, Samsung Nepal has launched yet another mid-range phone. Namely known as the Samsung Galaxy J8, the newbie boasts a dual camera setup at the back and an infinity display upfront.

Overview

In terms of display, the Galaxy J8 comes with a 6-inch Super AMOLED display. With the narrow bezels on the top and on the bottom, Samsung likes to like to call the display on the handset an infinity display. The display on the handset features an HD+ resolution in an 18.5:9 aspect ratio.

Powering the J8 is a Snapdragon 450 chipset with 4GB of RAM alongside. Talking about the internal storage, the smartphone boasts an ample onboard storage of 64GB. Samsung also accommodated a dedicated SD card slot for the expansion of memory to those who are not yet satisfied with the amount of memory initially provided.

The camera is the major highlight on the Samsung Galaxy J8. The smartphone comes with the dual camera setup consisting of 16MP and 5MP sensors. Among the two, the primary 16MP camera musters the subject details whereas the secondary 5MP camera garners the depth information. When the information from both the sensors is merged, users can get an appealing portrait shot with a background blurring effect. Samsung has this feature as a Live Focus option in the camera. On capturing the image with this feature, users can get a Bokeh effect, whose blur intensity and focus area can be readjusted even after capturing the images.

Not just at the back, the Galaxy J8 sports a fancy camera even at the front. The smartphone encompasses a 16MP camera crafted in the forehead of the device. Along with the normal selfies, the handset also delivers some appealing and social media ready portrait selfies.

In the battery front, the Galaxy J8 enjoys a substantial 3500mAh battery. With the HD+ display and an underpowered chipset, the smartphone is supposed to provide 2 days’ backup on the normal use.

Samsung Galaxy J8 Price in Nepal

[Latest Price: Rs. 27,390] [Last updated on July 24, 2019]

In terms of pricing, the smartphone comes with the price tag of Rs. 33,490. The camera and battery on the smartphone are the major highlights of the phone. However, the phone has to tussle with the popular mid-rangers like Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 AI, Vivo V9 Youth, Oppo F7, Huawei Nova 3i, and Huawei Nova 3e to supersede in the competition. So it seems like Samsung could have a hard time to survive in the competition with all these phones having better specs than that on the Samsung Galaxy J8.

Not just the smartphones from other brands, Samsung has its own Samsung Galaxy J7 Duo and Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro, which comes at a lower price than the J8 but it offers greater value for money.

So what do you think of the Samsung Galaxy J8? Is the phone worth the price? If not then which smartphone do you think as the best handset at a similar price bracket? Drop your thoughts in the comment section down below.

Xiaomi Mi A2 launched under Android One program and Snapdragon 660 SoC

The much-awaited Xiaomi Mi A2 is here and it’s everything you hoped for. The Chinese manufacturer delivered the Android One based smartphone today in Spain. The smartphone is basically the Mi 6X with a different software experience. The Mi A2 comes with better specs, better camera, and a fairly similar UI compared to last year’s Mi A1.

The first thing that you notice is the Snapdragon 660 processor, which is a huge improvement over the Snapdragon 625 found in Mi A1. The custom Kryo cores and the 14nm process ensure good performance and minimum power consumption. The Adreno 512 GPU also complements the CPU very well.

The display, on the other hand, is a 5.99″ FHD+ panel with resolutions of 2160×1080 (18:9 aspect ratio). Xiaomi does love to brag about its LPDDR4x RAM types, and the A2 surely gets the same. The smartphone comes in three variants, one with 4GB/32GB, the other with 4GB/64GB and lastly a more premium 6GB/128GB version.

Like the Mi A1, the A2 also comes with a dual camera setup. The camera has obviously been improved, with a 12MP f/1.7 sensor aided by a 20MP f/1.75 lens. Xiaomi claims it will provide a much better camera experience, including better bokeh effects and brighter shots in dim light conditions.

The front camera is also another area where Xiaomi seems to have improved. The 20MP selfie cam is now AI enabled and can capture bokeh selfies.

The star feature of the Mi A2 remains the Pure Android experience, which was one of the defining features of the Mi A1, and also one of the main factors why the Mi A2 received such huge success.

However, the most disappointing feature on the Mi A2 has to be the size of the battery, which is a 3010mAh. It does get Quick Charge 3.0 though.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Price & Availability

The smartphone is all set to launch in Nepal as well, although availability and pricing are yet to be announced. What we do know is you can get the Mi A2 in Blue, Black, and Gold color options.

Vivo Y81 launched in Nepal with a notched display

The Chinese manufacturer has launched the Vivo Y81 for a price tag of Rs 24,190. The smartphone sits comfortably in between the Vivo Y71 and last year’s Vivo V7, at least from a pricing perspective. The phone does resemble Vivo’s flagship the Vivo V9, so it looks look pretty good, I must say.

The Vivo Y81 has a single 13MP f/2.2 aperture camera with LED flash at the back. The same camera also does 1080p@60fps. The front gets a 5MP f/2.2 sensor for selfies.

Samsung and LG makes new shotgun strategy to rebuild their business

Samsung and LG are the two biggest Korean smartphone companies which have been providing premium gadgets. However, they have been suffering from huge sales loss due to the rise in sales of Chinese smartphone in the market. Thus to rebuild their business, Samsung and LG have adopted a new shotgun strategy.

The shotgun approach is a strategy where a company aims for a larger audience to sell their products or services. Samsung and LG have mainly focused on high-end gadgets. And their sales mostly depend on their feature phones. Although these companies do have budget-friendly smartphones, they didn’t offer good features until recently. So now, they have shifted their focus from high-end models, to compete with other brands. They also plan on launching more models in every segment to target as many consumers as possible.

There was a time when Samsung, Nokia, and LG used to leverage the smartphone market with their models. Many companies even tried to approach Apple’s plan to focus and launch smartphones with high-end specs but failed. However, in the present context, the Chinese smartphones have dominated the market with midrange smartphones.

Rather than an expensive featured smartphone, a customer usually goes for a budget-friendly smartphone with better features. Many companies like Xiaomi, Huwaei are providing a wide variety of budget smartphones with many features. So it’s obvious why people prefer them more resulting in an increase in their sales drastically.

According to sources, Huawei has shipped over six million units of Huawei P20 since its launch in June. While Xiaomi has shipped over a million units of Xiaomi Mi 8 in its first 18 days of sales.
