When we hear that a smartphone display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, we get a hint that the device has a strong display. Corning has been a top name when it comes to display protection. Today, Corning has come up with another version of Gorilla Glass, which is its sixth version! The Corning Gorilla 6, as said by the engineers, has better resistance to falls and better survives drops.
Further, sources add that the Gorilla Glass 6 can withstand twice as many drops as the Gorilla Glass 5. How it is done is by its new glass that has a different chemical composition than Gorilla Glass 5’s. Hence, because of that composition, the company claims that the new version can withstand more than Gorilla Glass 5.
During tests, this sixth version of Gorilla Glass is said to have survived 15 drops from the distance of 1 meter before breaking. Thus, claims are that it is made from a completely re-engineered process, which makes it easier to increase the level of compression.
“Corning Gorilla Glass 6 improves upon Gorilla Glass 5 by surviving drops from higher heights, but, more importantly, has been engineered to survive multiple drops. This enables the Gorilla Glass 6 to be more resistant to damage.,” -John Bayne (Corning Gorilla Glass vice president and general manager).
According to sources, Corning Gorilla has been designed into more than 6 Billion devices by more than 45 brands.
However, this new version of Gorilla Glass is in production now and it is being evaluated by multiple customers. After the tests will be over, it may take several months for it to be out in the market.
About Corning Gorilla Glass
Corning Gorilla Glass was launched in September 2011. Since its establishment, it has been used by many companies as their choice for device manufacturers all over the world. It produces items for not only Mobile Consumer Electronics, but for Automotive and Architecture applications as well.
The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 brings in a huge display but that is what the Max series is all about. Although this time, it’s breaking all the records with a giant 6.9″ display, all thanks to the 18:9 aspect ratio minimum bezel design. Apart from that, it also features a really huge battery, 5,500mAh to be exact.
The smartphone was made official in an event today, not that we were invited. But we did get a full extensive overview of this giant, alongside a few official photos. It’s a pretty similar smartphone to the Redmi Note 5, apart from the obvious display size and battery capacity.
The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 features a huge 6.9″ 18:9 ratio display with a resolution of 1080×2160 pixels, which accounts for 350 pixels per inch. It runs on Snapdragon 636 SoC with Adreno 509 GPU. There are two variants, one with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, the other with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. It is a hybrid setup so if you are a dual SIM user, you might be disappointed.
The dual 12MP + 5MP camera setup on the back should deliver good bokeh effects. The main camera is a f/1.9 aperture lens while the secondary helps with depth. The camera is also capable of 4k video recording, although Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) is only supported below 1080p. The front gets a single 8MP f/2.0 1.12µm sensor.
Features like 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, USB C port, 3.5mm audio jack and Quick Charge 3.0 comes standard. Rightfully so as the 5,500mAh battery will take a while to charge through normal speeds. The phone comes with Android 8.1 Oreo with MIUI 9.5 out of the box.
Apart from the internals, the external dimensions of the devices measure in at 176.2 x 87.4 x 8mm with a weight of 221g. It will be available in Champagne Gold, Blue, and Black color options. Pricing starts at CNY 1,699 or $252 for the base model and CNY 1,999 or $300 for the 6GBRAM and 128GB storage variant.

If there is one Huawei device we have been waiting for recently, it’s definitely the two most hyped Nova siblings, the Huawei Nova 3 and Huawei Nova 3i. Finally, the company has taken the hood off the two devices and brought among us the two devices. Well, with the launch, we have also been confirmed of the speculations about the AI enabled Kirin 970 chipset and the incorporation of the all-new GPU Turbo technology in the Nova 3. If Kirin 970 sounds familiar, it’s because that is the same chipset used in Huawei’s latest flagship, the P20 Pro. Combination the Kirin 970 with the latest GPU Turbo technology certainly makes things interesting.
Talking about the device itself, design-wise, Huawei has ensured glass build protected by 3D double curved glass on both sides. Similarly, the display is 6.3 inches with an unusual 19.5:9 aspect ratio and FHD+ resolution. Huawei hasn’t forgotten to place the infamous notch too that is home for the ambient light sensor, proximity, IR sensor and dual cameras.
Like the other phones in the Nova series, this one also has a good focus on cameras besides other things. It seems like the inclusion of 4 cameras is a tradition for Huawei as the Nova 3, like the Nova 2i, Y9 2018, etc features 4 cameras. But unlike the P20 Pro, the distribution goes, 2 cameras at the front and two cameras at the back. On the rear side, there is 24+16 MP f/1.8 dual cameras and upfront there are 24+2 MP sensors, both of which support AI features.
If you are awed with these, wait a little longer because there is more! The Nova 3 supports IR face unlock, it’s got 6GB of RAM at disposal and a decent 3,750 mAh battery. On top of that, there is the GPU Turbo technology that boosts the gaming performance. Other than that, there is 3D AR Emoji support, the latest version of EMUI, EMUI 8.2, etc.
The device comes in four color options, Black, Light Blue, Promise Gold and Blur Violet.
Huawei Nova 3 Specifications:
Display: 6.3 inches FHD+ display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio
OS: Android Oreo 8.1 with EMUI 8.2 on top
Chipset: Huawei Kirin 970
CPU: 4×2.4GHz Cortex A73 +4×1.8GHz Cortex A53
GPU: Mali G72 MP12
RAM: 6 GB
ROM: 64/128 GB uotp 256 GB (uses SIM 2 slot)
Selfie camera: 24+2 MP (depth sensor)
Rear camera: 24 MP f/1.8+ 16 MP f/1.8 camera with Gyro EIS, HDR, panorama, face detection, geo-tagging, touch focus etc
Internationally, the Nova 3 is will go on sale from July 19. In China, the device is priced at 2,999 Yuan (NRs. 48840.58 approx). It has also launched in Nepal for Rs.59,900 in Nepal.
Huawei’s much-anticipated successor of last year’s Nova 2i is here. The new Huawei Nova 3i comes with a much-needed improvement in the processor department and better design choices that almost makes its predecessor look outdated.
The smartphone comes packed with the HiSilicon Kirin 710, that should give the Snapdragon 710 a run for its money. It comes paired with 4GB of RAM and an ample 128GB of internal storage. Yes, it supports expandable storage but since it’s a hybrid setup, the huge storage should satisfy most.
Just like the Nova 3 (a high-end variant of the Nova 3i), this one also comes with a 6.3″ 1080×2340 resolution minimum bezel IPS display with a notch. The 3340mAh battery should deliver acceptable charging intervals and it comes with fast charging as well.
The four cameras on the Huawei Nova 3i totals to a whopping 44MP, not that it has anything to do with anything. The back comes with a 16MP f/2.2 lens aided by a secondary 2MP depth sensor. It’s video capabilities max out at 1080p@30fps. For selfies, it has a 24MP + 2MP camera setup, with the later used again for depth.
As it’s a mid-range smartphone, it comes equipped with the basics. The headphone jack is present at the bottom alongside the fingerprint sensor at the back. 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, Gyro sensor, and a bunch of other necessary sensors also come packed inside the 7.6mm glass back body.
The phone runs on the Android 8.1 Oreo with EMUI 8.2 on top. Since we are talking about the software, the AI features of the interface are all here joined by the much awaited GPU Turbo mode out of the box. There are three color options that include the Black, White, and Iris Purple.
Huawei Nova 3i price and availability
The Nova 3i is priced at around $300 in the international market. But with the new TAX policy in Nepal, the price of Nova 3i in slightly higher at Rs. 38,900. It is available for prebooking from July 28 to August 12. Prebooking is available from daraz.com.np and Huawei authorized resellers.
Since 2017, we have seen almost all the smartphone brands following the bandwagon of slimming the bezels. Since removing the bezels altogether had been a bigger challenge in the smartphone industry, most of the smartphone brands are opting to leave a notch to adjust the front camera, earpiece, and other necessary sensors. Started by Essential PH-1 phone and seconded by the iPhone X, this trend spread like a wildfire. And Nokia seems to be pretty much impressed with this concept in the recent days. A few months back, Nokia revealed the Nokia X6, which had a notch on its display. With a view to expanding its X-series, this time Nokia launched the Nokia X5 aka Nokia 5.1 Plus, which too comes with a notched display and dual camera setup at the back.
Nokia X5 comes in an all-alluring body in a thickness of 8mm and weighing 160 grams. The handset comes with an adorable 5.86-inch display with an infamous notch on the top. The notch is slightly wider than what we see on the Nokia X6, however, the region for this notch expansion has not yet been divulged. Talking about the resolution, the Nokia 5.1 Plus features an HD+ resolution in 19:9 aspect ratio.
Powering the phone is a MediaTek Helio P60 chipset accompanied by either 3GB or 4GB of RAM. Helio P60 is a powerful yet power efficient chipset, which can also be found on the Oppo F7, Oppo F7 Youth, and Oppo RealMe 1. When we review the Oppo F7, the performance offered by the chipset thoroughly impressed us. And we can expect a similar performance from the Nokia X5 too. Talking about the onboard storage, the base variant boasts a decent 32GB and the premium variant enjoys an ample 64GB.
In the photography department, the handset sports a dual camera setup at the back. Nokia had provided only a single camera on the Nokia 5.1 and Nokia 6.1 (Nokia 6 2018). But this time, the smartphone maker has tried to sprinkle a premium handset by providing dual camera on its budget handset. The setup embraces a primary camera of 13MP, f/2.0 supported by a 5MP secondary camera to inject the depth details in the portrait images. And for the selfies, Nokia has equipped an AI-powered 8MP camera on the front. The selfie shooter has the features like AI beauty, AI stickers, AI background blurring effect and dual-view shooting mode also known as ‘Bothie’. Bothie allows users to use the front camera and rear cameras at the same time. It basically embeds the subject information from both the cameras in a single photo. In addition, Nokia X5 will use this selfie shooter while unlocking the handset through the Face Unlock feature.
The Nokia X5 includes a 3060mAh battery and comes in three color variants: namely Blue, Black, and White. On the software side, the phone relishes the Stock or the unadulterated version of the Android Oreo. Google has also promised the Android Pistachio (V9) update to the handset and other regular software patches.
Nokia X5 (Nokia 5.1 Plus) Specifications
Dimensions– 149.51 x 71.98 x 8.0 mm; Weight: 160 grams
Display: 5.86-inch HD+ IPS LCD display, 84% screen-to-body ratio @19:9 aspect ratio
The smartphone entered the Chinese market with the price tag of CNY 999 ($149) for the 3/32GB and CNY 1,399 ($208) for the 4/64GB variant. The handset is available for pre-order in China on the Chinese online retailers like Suning, Jingdong, Tmall and also on the Nokia Mobile app store. The sale will begin at 10:00 AM local time in China.
A lot of appealing features in a budget price segment, the Nokia X5 is obviously a desirable phone even outside China. However, HMD Global has not dropped any information regarding the launch of the handset outside China. However, according to the rumors, the smartphone will supposedly go on sale outside of China in the name of Nokia 5.1 plus.
High Definition Multimedia Interface is a propriety audio and video interface designed and in use for over 15 years now. It is a pretty common and one of the most popular forms of video and audio transmission over a wire. As of now, over 1,700 companies manufacturer HDMI adapters, and almost all of us use it for the good or bad.
Over the years, this interface has grown, updated and improved over a few times. It all started with HDMI 1.0 and currently, we are at HDMI 2.1. With each new iteration, one can expect an increase in bandwidth and data channels with the ever increase in color format, space and depth support. So choosing the right HDMI cable could be a time-consuming task.
Sure you can buy the latest HDMI 2.1 and be done with it, but those cost a bit more than usual and an average user will probably never use all that available horsepower. So, here is a short table that should probably help an average joe with their buying decisions.

For context, the DSC refers to Display Stream Compression and the 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 refers to subsampling. You must have a really nice idea of which HDMI you should be buying. So, where can you buy it? Well, online shops will always have a handful of HDMI options, so just make sure to order the right one and start watching.
This is however just a short introduction to all the different aspects of HDMI, which we will cover in a later moment.

Huawei had been emphasizing about its upcoming smartphone for quite a time now. It was a mystery to all of us what the smartphone will be called exactly, what features will it behold and how will it perform. But now, we finally have information on all of that. Huawei has recently unveiled the much anticipated Huawei Nova 3 internationally. The smartphone was rumored to be launched around the mid of July but seems like Huawei could not resist showing off its new product.
Some of the specs had already been guessed, some may come as a surprise to us. Well, whatever be the case, the Nove 3 has come and seems to pack some top-notch features!
The first notable feature would be none other than the fact that it is powered by the Kirin 970 chipset. If you think that sounds familiar, yes, its the same chipset that is used in Huawei’s latest flagship, the Huawei P20 Pro! The chipset can be compared neck to neck with the powerful Snapdragon 835 chipset. Supporting the performance is rumored to be 6GB of RAM.
Like the P20 Pro, this one does have 4 cameras but unlike the P20 Pro its got 2 cameras at the front and 2 at the back. Well, a total of four cameras indeed. It has become a trend for Huawei to include as many cameras as possible. But we are not complaining ;). About the camera pixels, at the back, it has a 16 MP f/1.8 RGB sensor coupled with a 24 MP Monochrome sensor featuring the same lens. On the selfie front, there is a primary 24 MP snapper with a 2 MP sensor for portraits.
Similarly, the Nova 3 comes with the recently introduced GPU Turbo technology. For those who are wondering what GPU Turbo technology is, it is a technology that optimizes GPU performance by bottlenecking between GPU’s hardware and software performance.
Following the flagship trend, it greets you with 3D Qmoji, a feature just like Apple’s Animoji, Samsung’s AR Emoji and Oppo’s Omoji. Likewise, the device is also said to have tons of AI features that are resulted from combined efforts of the UI and the chipset together.
Although the specs are revealed, the pricing of the device is yet to be revealed. Well, the launch date is set for the 18th of July, 2018, so we guess the wait will be over just then. The Huawei Nova 3 will be available in at least 4 colors, Nebula Purple (just like the P20 Pro), Aqua Blue, Black and Promise Gold.
Th J- series is one of the beloved and highest selling midrange lineups from Samsung. However, it seems like it hasn’t been able to keep up with the likes of Chinese brands. Can the recently launched Samsung Galaxy J6 with the infinity display reclaim their position in the market? Let’s find out in our review.
Price in Nepal: Rs. 24,790 (3GB/32GB); Rs. 29,090 (4GB/64GB)
Design and build
Starting from the design, I must say I love how it looks. The Galaxy J6 comes with a slender and smooth design which looks and feels great in hands. Attractive as it looks, its slim body makes it comfortable to hold and easy even for one-hand usage. The plastic back is neither matte nor glossy so there will be no annoying smudges and fingerprints on the back. However, it is quite smooth, so it frequently slipped from my hands.
On the left, there are volume buttons, a tray for sim 1 and a tray for sim 2 & micro SD card. The power button and the speaker is on the right. The speaker gives quite loud and crisp sound. I usually place my hand on the speaker while watching videos and wonder why the sound is so low even when it is in full volume. But after a week of usage, my hands naturally adjusted.
On the front, there’s an 8 MP camera with LED flash which is a plus in mid segment smartphone. A USB port along with the 3.5mm headphone jack is on the bottom while a 13 MP camera with LED flash is on the back.
Under the camera is a fingerprint sensor. Its quite accurate but it’s not the fastest out there. The face recognition works fairly in daylight, it takes some time before it unlocks the screen
Display
The Samsung J6 features a curved edge 2.5D glass for 5.6” Super AMOLED Infinity Display and the tall display with 18.5:9 screen to body ratio looks very attractive. Although the resolution is only HD, watching videos in the AMOLED panel is quite vivid and a treat to eyes.
The viewing angles are quite decent too. While watching videos I noticed that the colors are vivid and have precise contrast which you don’t usually get in a budget smartphone. The display is quite bright as well. It works fairly in sunlight even when it is in 75% brightness. However, one thing I wished this phone had was auto-brightness. Yes, we need to manually adjust the brightness.
Software
Moving on to the software department, the J6 runs on Android 8.0 Oreo. The UI looks quite similar to the S9 minus some features like Always on display. Since it also lacks Notification LED, I had to manually check for any notification which is bothersome at times. Come on Samsung, Notification LED is not a feature you should exclude in 2018.
I have always liked the Samsung UI as it is smooth and easy to use. Samsung has included some flagship features like S-health, Secure Folder and Samsung themes. Also, it has many advanced features as well like panic mode, dual messenger mode and so on. The dual messenger mode can be used for Facebook, Messenger, Viber and other few social media apps. And although like I mentioned before the phone is pretty sleek and comfortable to hold, there is an easy mode for better one hand use.
However, I found apps like My Galaxy, Samsung Mall, Samsung Max and Samsung Pay mini to be useless and the fact you can’t uninstall them is annoying. Also, you can’t uninstall any of the pre-installed Microsoft apps.
Performance
The Samsung Galaxy J6 is powered by an Exynos 7870 which has been powering Samsung’s midrange phones since 2016. I am not saying it’s a bad chipset since it’s based on energy efficient 14nm process, however, Samsung could and should have opted for more powerful MediaTek Helio P60 or the Snapdragon 636 or their own Exynos 7885.
On to the real-life performance, the phone performed well during my usage. I didn’t expect it to perform this well. It didn’t lag or heat up lag while using Facebook and Instagram. The good performance is partly due to the fact that it only has to power an HD display.
Now talking about multitasking, it takes a while when switching between apps but that’s only when there is a lot of apps running in the background. Animations and transitions on the Galaxy J6 have been cut down to a minimum.
Playing low-end games like Knife hit, Alto is decent and it doesn’t heat up even up to 50 minutes of continuous gameplay. If you don’t play graphics-intensive games, the phone offers more than enough horsepower to offer you satisfactory performance in everyday tasks. So, if you are a PubG fan, you may not want to play it on this one.
Camera
The single 13MP back camera captures above average daylight photos in auto mode, but in pro mode, you can tweak the settings to get better results. The sharpness and detail are good too. Color reproduction, however, is a hit or miss, which can easily be noticed on the Super AMOLED display. The dynamic range is also pretty average for the price. Low light images are not bad and I found the color reproduction on low light to be surprisingly better than the daylight images. Also, there is no portrait mode, so no fancy portrait photos.

The 8MP selfie camera on the front was quite impressive though. The selfies come out quite good even under low lighting. The pictures taken from the front camera are better than that from the rear camera.

Battery
The battery of J6 amazed me. The 3,000mAh battery easily lasts a whole day, including long calls on messenger to extensive gaming. The battery easily lasted about 6 hrs even while extensive usage. A drawback of the battery is the charging is very slow. It takes about 3 hrs to charge up to 100.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, the Samsung Galaxy J6 is a decent choice. It has got a good design, trendy 18:9 AMOLED display, surprisingly good performance, and excellent battery life. Also, Samsung has the brand appreciation and is probably the safest choice when it comes to aftersales and warranty here in Nepal. However, with the midrange smartphone market getting very competitive, you will easily get the Xiaomi Redmi S2 or the Huawei Y9 that offers more for the price.
